Maybe save it for the friend's birthday. Today's my friend's birthday and I'm giving him the steelbook.
I bought the plastic version for myself

Another dumb question. Can you move forward in First Person mode? Or can you only look around?
I'm currently stuck on two Majima skills:
Essence of Mad Dog: Chokehold - for this one I need to beat Officer Majima. I fought him once, lost, then never saw this version again. Anyone know how to find him?
Dragon's Slow Burn 1 - this is a skill that comes from an email riddle, but I forget which email now and I don't know how to find it, any ideas?
Thanks
I have trying to decide between this game and Yakuza 0. Kiwami is about 20 dollars cheaper new and I am not sure which one to get.
I think i will do another couple of play sessions and i'll stop playing.
This was my first Yakuza game, i was scared that the franchise would be incredibly tedious to play that's why it took me so much time to try it but i have to say that everything flows egregiously well, the amount of freedom is remarkable and despite everything is either a fetch quest or a fight doing this quests always feels right and almost never a chore.
Story is really round of the mill japanese stuff with various classic archetypes, nothing transcendental but serviceable, i'm still mad thatNishiki and Reina died, bad boy Nishiki looked super cool and i wanted to see more of him, Shinji too was cool... oh well what can you do...
The one single thing i didn't like about this game is the way it handles the Dragon fighting style, the Majima Everywhere is absolutely brilliant and i loved everything about it but it really should have been that after you get SSS it unlocks all the skill tree where you are free to use your points to max it out.
It's absurd that 10 hours after i've completed every other skill tree i still lack 8 things for the Dragon style.
All i wanted from this game was to give me a glimpse of Japan's culture with all its quirks and it absolutely delivered, i could spend thousands of words on how as soon as i got the chance i spent hours upon hours on Pocket Circuit which is a parody of Tamiya's Mini 4WD and how that took me back to my childhood when i played with them or how i recognized that Mesuking is nothing other than the parody of Mushiking without even mentioning all the actually licensed magazines in the store.
This game talks to me in various ways and i couldn't be happier that i bit the bullet on it, now i can't wait for Kiwami 2 while in the meantime i'll try to snag a copy of 0.
I've been on chapter 4 for the past 15 hrs. So much stuff to do around every corner.Just started Chapter 4 story-wise, got 19 hours on the clock and 47.40% completion. Lmao. FINALLY going to continue the story now.

Just finished the story, haven't played Y1 in years, I think the new nishiki stuff is awesome but the regular scenarios / design / animations ported over from 2007 do kind of feel dated, that said it was still awesome and now i'm getting ready for my KIWAMI EXTREEEEEEME RUUUUUUUN. I hope KIWAMI 2 gets even more budget because Yakuza is awesome.

I wonder how excessive the majima stuff is in this game. There's tons of trophies involving majima everywhere time.
I know how you feel. Not because I thought that the game was amazing but because it means half a year till a new Yakuza game (we are drowning in Yakuza games)I feel empty inside now that it's over.
We made it, fam!Yakuza Kiwami ads in NeoGAF? Hell yeah!

I think I'm gonna plug in my ps3 again and replay Yakuza 4.
Bowling is impressive enough, Darts is straight up Godlike.Majima you only have one eye, how can you beat me everytime at bowling
Edit: At least losing means getting rewarded with that dance. Still laughing after 4 times
They went waaaaaayy overboard with Majima everywhere. Christ.
Unavoidable fights when you just want to do a sub-story or go play a mini-game get old fast. I'm only halfway through B and I'm sick of it. And I'm seeing in this thread it goes up to SSS? What an obnoxious grind.
Gross. Thanks for the information though!Hmm I have bad news... The only ones that go away after you reach SSS are the scripted events. Everything else stays (Majima walking around town looking for you, surprise unavoidable encounters, etc).
So how do you actually pull out weapons you've equipped from your inventory? In Y0 I believe it was pressing down on the d-pad, but that's the 4th style here. I looked in the Notebook, nothing about how to use inventory weapons...
We made it, fam!
Am I the only one who had zero issue with Chapter 9? I mean I didn't like it as much but the difficulty on Normal was pretty easy for me. Completed it with no crashes.
I have SSS rank for Majima and honestly he is piss easy by now with the Tiger Drop.
You double-tap the direction based on the style you're using currently. Example, you press up for brawler and you press up again to take out the weapon, same with rush, beast, dragon.
In Yakuza 4 and 5, you play as aOhh okay, thanks. You'd think they would explain that somewhere.

I appreciate that the game tries to humanize homeless people. I had no idea there were actual tent cities of homeless in Japanese cities though. Seems like it's gotten worse since the bubble days, at least if Zero and Kiwami are historically accurate enough to go by.
You should youtube 5 only. 3 and 4's story have no effect on the story of 6.I'm halfway through Yakuza 0, getting Kiwami next week.
And if by the end of this year, Kiwami 2 english is not announced, I will just get the Chinese version.
I don't have access to a PS3 and I believe RPCS3 doesn't work well for 3, 4, 5?
Really want to get into 6 on day one.
Should I just skip to 6 and hope for remaster/ports of 3, 4 ,5 or Should I just watch it from Youtube?

If you want to focus in side stuff and avoid battles, equip the Beads of Good Fortune (dont remember where i got them). You will not get random battles around town while using that item, and Majima will not walk around town too. But he will still do surprize attacks, but i found it to be much less frequent while using the beads.
