Yeah. Well, about 80% through and saw the rest on YouTube after being spoiled by some asshat. I've spent about ~30 hours with it. I liked it ok, but it just didn't seem as "fun". You know how previous games had that sense of not taking itself too seriously and had a good balance of crime drama narrative and silly optional content? Well, I just felt 6 leaned a bit too far on the broody side of the scale. It's still GOOD, don't get me wrong - but with a heavy emphasis on cutscenes and dialog, and not so much on the wacky side stuff. It's THERE, sorta, but definitely not as much. I don't know, it's just not one I'm going to go back to for a long time (after I play through the Western release of course) I enjoyed the combat and its mechanics, but couldn't help but feel the story needed a lot more work in its execution. Kamurocho, while looking great, was smaller than ever - and the other locale you visit felt WAY too small, personally.
It's nothing to do with a language barrier either. I knew what was going on just fine, and besides, I initially played Yakuza 0 and Ishin in Japanese and thoroughly enjoyed them. But Yakuza 6? Ehhh.
But as someone else said earlier - a not AS good Yakuza game is still a damn fine thing to play!

yes! so strange that it's one of the games i had to use a walkthrough with that remains my all-time favorite. excellent story/combat, & some very memorable sidequests. love the other games, including dead souls, but kenzan!'s on a whole other level!...
Agreed. The side story with
the cow and "UFO" playing the theme from 2001 cracked me up. It'd be a crazy thing to do in a current setting Yakuza game, let alone one based so far in the past.

Does this skill work or is it glitched?
Because for the life of me I can't get it to work, I tried to pull it off on all HEAT levels, tried on different opponents that can grab you and nothing.

pretty done

is it sad that I wish they would add DLC SEGA arcade games. Games within games are too cool.
I don't know what the hell happened but I am only in chapter 2 amd street thugs suddenly became way harder. Men In Black are able to lock me in their combo chains and I can't do shit. Even regular goons are suddenly more difficult. I don't understand.
I'm using rush style on normal difficulty. It's even worse with brawler. They keep attacking me from all sides and I lose a lot of HP. I need to use HP items for a single fight. I was able to beat all these street plebs with ease yesterday...

The exact same thing happened to me and it turns out I had equipped an item that made enemies way more aggressive (Charismatic Autobiography).

Do you have a charismatic autobiography equipped by chance?
Have you equipped by any chance the Charismatic Autobiography? It makes enemies fight more aggresively
EDIT: beaten so hard for second day in a row
Sounds like you've got a charismatic autobiography equipped too!

It needs to be in the OP at this point! Lol.

I'm dying here lol Can this be the next OT title please?
Look at it this way, you didn't play through 3 chapters on hard mode with it on before realizing something was odd.
On a related note I'm awesome at this game now.
Better yet - OT2's title

It's probably gonna hold you for a long time after Horizon too.
It's funny you say this because before Yakuza 6 came out I felt that way towards all the footage. It didn't seem to have that insane over the top feel to it. Bummer. Still gonna get it though. I'm kinda obligated to support this series lol.
This!

You do realize that getting to a second OT means the first one should have 400 pages, right? Come on guys, we are not getting anywhere near that lol
Not with that attitude!

OH SHIT. I just realized the guy from Kiryu's dancing substories is the guy who
teaches Haruka in Y5
Same happened to me as well, but I thought the game just upped the difficulty since I got the Beast Style. After I stopped playing I remembered that I equipped that book that makes people more aggressive.

the truth? was gonna post a link to a youtube of that mission, & couldn't find one!

Story gains you access to money making activities, club hosting and real estate, long term investment in these give you like 1 billion per cycle.

The Yanki sidequest gives it to you. I forgot exactly where you flag it though. I think in front of the movie theatre for Kiryu? Not sure fo Majima.
Better yet - the guy from Kiryu's radio show is the announcer for the Idol Competition.
'Shooowww tiiiiime'
I remember him because I hated his voice so much.

Real estate activity for Kiryu. I'm earning 1/1.5 billion yen every 5 minutes from that activity.

Does Majima earn nearly that much with the cabaret activity? Now that I'm completely done with Kiryu's, I was planning to go in hard on that too.
lucebuce12
Member
Majima doesn't earn as much but his ability trees also cost half.
Where Kiryu needed a billion, majima needs 500 mil.
Ultimadrago

Ah, that's true. I noticed that in his chapters. Kiryu's trees are super expensive in comparison.
It says 1st heat, which means only works when you have no head bars filled.
You have to be grabbed and press O.

Do that. Binary Domain is the game that made me finally decide to fuck it and jump into the series with Yakuza 4 when before I'd always felt like I missed the train on this.
The game had no right being as good as it was, after the horrible trailers and promotional stuff.
Peroroncino

I know, but it just doesn't work for me. There's also a matter of glitched reversal description in Thug style, it says press R1 + Triangle when attacked on 3rd heat bar, when in fact you need to press circle.

I'm at Chapter 11 currently. 55 hours. Very impressive, nowadays no game really holds my attention this long.
Question:
How long until I reach the end? I'm asking because I just enjoy the game and story so much. It's like when you see your new favorite book only has a couple chapters left. I'm talking about main story, no side quests here.

Use the properties guide here!
Edit: Woops, yeah for those two you will need to complete the friendship substories also described in the guide.
They're buildings in that district you can go into, you get the properties by befriending the main staff there.
