I swear I would buy a Majima hostess club game. This shit is addicting.

well don't I feel dumb now
Last night playing way too late I realized I had equipment and just figured I'd use it. Should have read!
I found a full, crisp version of the best karaoke song in the game. It gives me life.
BREEAKING THE WOOORRRLD
Both the real estate and hostess club activities would benefit a lot from a phone app to manage everything, it'd be the perfect complement

That's because he said "best karaoke song in the game".

Yeah if they made it a mobile game I'd be hooked along with the real estate part of the game. I'd also buy the telephone club mini game haha.
Edit: throw the JCC mini game in there also. Honestly most mini games could be their own games.

The game actually had a companion Vita app in Japan that allowed you to fight in the arena for prize money, or play casino/arcade games. It allowed you to sync your data between the main game.

Same. I've been in chapter 7 for like a dozen hours just doing this shit, it's great.
Gotta say the dancing minigame sucks ass tho. Karaoke too but less so. Whoever made those probably isn't musically gifted. Scroll speed changing on every line of the karaoke songs drives me nuts.
Except for fishing, in Y5 it was infuriatingly deep and great but a fuckin hassle to keep track of, in Y0 it just turned into buy the god rod and spam buttons rofl.

Hm, well thanks, I'll try those tips. It just feels like there's a very low tolerance for error.
Well sorry, not everyone has your flawless sneaking skills.
It was hard for me to judge when I was spotted or not. There's also a bug with the mission in that yakuza would materialize next to me right after beating another group. Not a fun mission.QuantumBro

Is anyone able to play Texas Hold Em as Majima without the game crashing after five minutes? Seems to crash for me everytime I start to win.
Wonderful game otherwise.

Does the game eventually point to you in the map which stores you can buy for real estate? Running around store to store after unlocking this is getting annoying and I hope theres an actual map showing what you can buy

Gotta disagree there. I found myself liking both. As someone who sucks at rhythm games, I'm glad that a "Super!" ranking is a rather low skill ceiling (as you said though, timing can get erratic during karaoke). They could have made either so much harder if they wanted.
Except some of the disco challenges. The latter ones can get dicey real quick.

The game gives you the names of the places but it turns into a case of trial and error since we can't read the Japanese signs.
Use this guide, which has a map: http://www.khhsubs.com/rggzero/moneyisland.html
pawn shop has a super expensive one. I was rich by the time I needed one so I just got that.
I got one for free when I went to fish at the pier, and I think another from doing the sushi gin sidequest.
funny thing is going into a cutscene where Kiryu acts broke right after dropping 30 million on a fishing rod.

Yeah, the rhythm games in Yakuza are lame. Sega should have the Project Diva people handle those so we can get something decent. The disco minigame is at least unusual, though not at all intuitive.

Which is odd since Haruka's chapter in Yakuza 5 which was basically just a glorified rhythm game was actually pretty fun and catchy.

Exactly, which is why I'm wondering why it's not

The UI could be better, I agree. But I'm laughing so much every time I play Rouge of Love and hear Kiryu/Majima's singing that I can barely play anyway.

I was actually thinking about remote playing from my phone to make some money while I'm away. Shit is addicting. I need all the abilities unlocked! I stopped playing the main story just to focus on taking down the real estate kings.
Sooo I just now beat Leisure King and so Pink Street & two of the others opened up. I started investing and collecting and now Pink Street, the first building you have, is in trouble. Yet on the map I don't see any red or anything for me to fix the problem. Do I have to do some side stuff some more before attempting to fix it or am I forgetting to do something before I can fix it?

Go to the general vicinity of the area (it's highlighted in the business section in the options menu) then open the map. There should be a small red circle somewhere in the area, that's where the trouble is.
Its most likely hidden behind a Taxi or Save symbol, It should be on the edge of the map. Zoom in a bit and you should find it.

Man, Nightlife Island is much better than the passive nature of the Money Island. The Special Trainings and Club Openings really break up the monotony so frequented in waiting for cash/upgrades on Kiryu's side (especially if you went for all S Ranks like I did).

Random things I like/dislike
Like: Hostess management is addictive as f*ck
Dislike: Focusing on new districts puts the brakes on the difficulty curve and money flow
Like: Substories are generally original, funny and well-written
Dislike: I wish they had tiers so the less impactful, more filler-y ones wouldn't be lumped in with the great ones
Like: Switching between protagonists is a nice twist and keeps it fresh
Dislike: It really messes up the pacing and story build-up sometimes. I'm at chapter 7 now and I wish they would've just told one story all the way through first, Resi 2 style. I'm sure that has plot reasons though.

Yeah, the Real Estate stuff is pretty much fire and forget. Then come back in a few minutes. As I said, and others agreed, the Hostess stuff is a ton of fun.
Also, I love that a purple haired old lady was my Night's highest earner.
This game, people. This game.

I don't know if you are far enough in the game. But I like jumping back and forth. There are a couple cool reveals that end up connecting them. I don't think things like that would be as impactful if each story was played all the way through at a time.
Yeah, I made sure to grab all the CP business upgrades to make payout turnaround pretty quick. But yeah, Nightlife Island is definitely better.

Yeah, groups also jump you more depending how drunk you are.well don't I feel dumb now

I don't know but my sister was going ham on that substory last night.
Leisure King is down, I feel so fucking powerful now I own the whole district, this thing is addictive as fuck.
Which one should I focus on next? Electronics King district?
Thanks! Got for free the easy starter in the pier and managed to catch a few squids to befriend the Sushi Gin guy
Yeah, it has me completely hooked, I was planning about rushing the story before Nioh hits next week but fuck it, I feel the urge to unlock everything in this game

First of the five stars is down! Hell yeah!
Man, I gotta admit, the club management is a lot more fun than real estate activity.

Yakuza 0 has now become my favorite game of the series
the story is really well done, even though the gameplay hasn't changed or evolved from the previous games, but there is so much things to do in the game
some of the substories are really boring, i just want to know if it's better to just skip them and play the main story or should i play both ??

Up to you. Some aren't great, while some are brilliant. If your not really feeling them at the moment you could leave them until later? They never disappear so you can always go back to them. Just keep in mind that you need to complete certain side stories in order to recruit people for Kiryu's real estate mini game, and Majima's hostess club management.
It may feel that way, but you absolutely can make mistakes and finish OutRun. I can post a full run later to demonstrate this.

I thought she was a lot harder than Ogita myself. WIth him, I think I was overthinking it and going for too many steps, with her, I HAD to. If I wasn't pulling off at least 8 steps I was toast. And that was on easy.
Anyhow just beat Club Venus.
Poor Yuki really is the Meg of the Cabaret Club storyline.

Shit gets real in Chapter 13. There's a nice little throwback in there as well.
Also, I've always felt that Super Hang-On was slightly harder than OutRun

How 80's is this game? I have heavy 80s nostalgia.
Only people who actually remember the 80s should answer.
