Thanks!
And it's better than the Dualshock 4 but it's still no where close to battery powered controllers that last 30-40 hours.

I'm all for variety amongst the playable characters but if they continue with multiple playable characters in 6, they need to start streamlining some of the combat basics to unlock for every character when you unlock it with one. Like when you go into a new character, you go back to just getting hit from behind by dudes and not having any kind of counter, no attack while getting up, no reguard, no bouncing back up and striking. It's so, so awkward.

Chapter 15 of Yakuza 2, I'm almost there. I'll be back with Ryuji Goda's head on the dashboard of my taxi.
Finished Saejima's story and I'm about an hour into Haruka's part now
Main Story Spoilers and Speculation:
Main Story Spoilers and Speculation:
Wow. That twist about Baba at the end of Saejima's part. Also I don't think Morinaga is the mastermind behind all this trouble. I think him, Baba, and probably a few others are working for the same person who happens to be the traitor and mastermind behind all this in the tojo clan.
Which makes me wonder if Majima is still alive, and the mastermind behind all this? I just don't know if a new unintroduced character at this point in the game, could fit that role you know? Also, there aren't many high ranking tojo clan lieutenants/officers that are still alive and play a major role in this series at this point too anyways, besides Majima that have the pull to do something like this, at least that I know of.

It's funny, I was happy they beat Kugihara then remembered, someone's probably gonna get shot. I thought oh, maybe he doesn't have access to a gun so he won't even sit up. Then he sat up and almost shot Saejima and/or Baba. Figured Baba would jump in and save Saejima, so I'm glad they managed to surprise me with the detective to the rescue.

Battle Royale Expert is bull, especially with these awful controls.

So glad I'm done with the virtua fighter minigame. It felt like Akira was cheating his ass off and it was not fun due to its stiffness and the ridiculous damage and speed Akira can do.

Does anyone know if Yakuza 0 lets you change outfits before going to NG+? Really feel like it's a basic feature the series is missing.

Anyone else have an issue with one of Saejima's subquests (the one in chapter 3) where the mother didn't give you the letter the guide says she's supposed to?

I never recall getting an option to change the costume on my first playthrough, I assume its like all other games in the series, restricting different costumes to Game +/ Premium Adventure modes.
It workedI was as well. But, like you just said, the increase in speed more than makes up for the degraded controls... You won't see him escaping far ahead anymore. Just to be on the safe side though, bring your taxi level to the maximum too
Made a couple of free races to get to level 25, switched to c chassis and i finally beat him. This time on the final lap he was close to me, so with the last heat action i overtook him! Yes it's true, but you can still beat every race and taxi missions using ds4 .
A -1 for sudden acceleration isn't such a big problem when just turning with your blinkers on gives a +3, or answering kindly to your passenger gives a +10... I'm playing with the dual shock 4 and i completed all taxi missions easily.
Only one mission i had to restart a few times, because you had to be quick and people just kept crossing the road slowing me down. It must be hell driving in Japan, with all these pedestrians trying to ram your car from the side...

Haruka Question Spoilers
Should I finish Yoko's training all at once or do one before each lesson?

Spoilers for end of Saejima's Act:
Lol at everyone

getting shot halfway through their revelations. I need to turn subtitles off because the ... keeps spoiling it.

Just do it all at once.
And now I have a question about later in Haruka's part (like chapter 3):
I already know (even though I'm not there yet) that once you hit Part 3 you can freely switch between Haruka and Akiyama. Can I still do Haruka's substories then? 'Cause I'd really like to get to that point ASAP, but if I can't do Haruka's substories there, I'll just have to do them before that I guess.

Nearly had a heart attack when the street battle started and there were like 15 bars on screen, lol. I don't play these types of rhythm games at all.

So many idol jobs
She needs more outfits. This game should be a dress up sim all around.

I think what disappointed me the most is that (Part 3 Chapter 2 ending spoilers)
you can't wear the outfit that you picked out with Park. I was looking forward to that because, Haruka has a total of ONE good outfit for most of her idol stuff. The sunglasses outfit is the literal worst.
I couldn't find any other outfits in the first chapter. Just kept going to the hostess club and being told "I see you're wearing the usual." Your shitty ass town doesn't cater for menswear!
Not drink. I drink Carlsberg exclusively in the game so I won't be tempted.

The one that hit me the worst was the special dish that Tatsuya creates for Tsukimino. Curry soup noodles with deep fried onions and shredded chicken. Looked and sounded amazing.

30 and a half hours and only 17.67 percent completion. I think this platinum will elude me.
Usually only tend to fully complete the subquests and such in the Yakuza games anyway. Don't do the mini-game challenges and locker keys.
How does the length of the 4 and 5th characters' stories compare to Kiryu and Saejima?

I don't understand how to do Foul in baseball mini games. I know nothing to baseball. I tri to hit late, hit wrong, hit early, I eaither get home run or no hit.
I bought Yakuza 5 yesterday, finally after many hours of downloading and installing I've played around three or so hours. So what did I achieve/accomplish?
Well I bought spicy fish for the rival taxi firm, spent half an hour playing the UFO catcher (putting the hook in the hole?) Played Virtual Fighter 2 then played that craazy drum game.
Oh and I took some photos of various landmarks.
I've accomplished absolutely nothing, except I am plus six figurines up and 20,000 yen down.
This game is brilliant. Cannot wait to invest many more hours into this authentic, living and breathing take of modern Japan.

Well this Substory for Haruka was tougher than expected. Won it eventually though
I gave up on that one could never find the good timing
Took me a few tries with that guide, and just listening to when they finish each sentence/said the words in the guide. (Was kinda hard near the end due to laughter overshadowing the voices).
Also Haruka is cute when she gets her revelation
. Kinda sad there is only one for each person.
Also that fat girl got what she deserved for the way she treated Haruka >_<

yeah, I couldn't stop laughing when they introduce Heat actions and Climax Heat for Haruka in dance battle.

20 hours deep and just got into Chapter 2: Part 4. Loving the game but man oh man is it EASY. Even on hard difficulty the only fight I had real trouble with was the very first boss battle.
Do any of you who have played the Japanese version of Zero know if it ups the difficulty any compared to 4 and 5?

0 is harder in my opinion, not as hard as Ishin but its definitely harder than 4 and 5. Still could do with being harder though... (this is based on my experience in playing the games on hard difficulty)
Totally worth it.

Man, I just checked my Yakuza 4 save file. 45 hours the last time I saved after clearing the game and doing some post-game stuff. I'm already at 39 hours on 5 and I'm only up to Chapter 3 of Haruka's story. This game has a ridiculous amount of content. :lol
Nothing like playing through Saejima's hunting portion to make me miss the snow. It's warm up in the east coast y'all.
Saejima chapter 1 & 2 spoilers
Part of me wants to rush through Saejima because I need some dance battles in my life, but I think I'll take my time and try to complete as many hunting missions as I can.
Saejima chapter 1 & 2 spoilers
Wow, what an arc! From Shawshank Redemption simulator, to hunting and gathering and punching bears in the face. The prison sequence was so slow, def. fell asleep a couple of times during it. But boy does it get good in that final part. I'm loving all these huge brawls the game keeps throwing at me. And it was sooo satisfying to watch Saejima brutally crunch that one-eyed bastard's wrist. cathartic.

I love how there's so much stuff in Yakuza 5 that you can just see coming if you're a long-time fan of the series.
(I'm gonna spoiler these just in case, but there's no specific plot related stuff.)
All of these things happen in virtually every Yakuza game. :lol

Is the game building up a new supporting character as a likable person? They're either gonna die or be a horrible traitor.
Are you less than halfway through the game and someone's about to tell you "the real truth"? Gunshot from off-screen!
A villain has a main character at gunpoint and things look hopeless? Gunshot from offscreen, camera pan to friendly character with gun!

why are trophies not popping up or is it because I already have them in the japanese version?
