Apologies for double posting and bumping a quiet thread but this is my first Yakuza game and I'm completely hooked on it. Right now it feels impossible to get bored with it as there is always something to do. I recently brought down the Leisure King and have just started on the Electronics King and man do the property prices increase.

I think I'm gonna concentrate on the real estate and side quests for a while before moving the main story on.

That's exactly what I did. Be sure to do Side Stories as they unlock additional staff for the business too.

That's how I've been playing the game from the get go really. I've been collecting those phone cards and doing just about every sub story available before moving the story on.

Fist of full of nails jammed into someone's gob, yeah? :lol:

My personal favourite animation/sound fx are a secret ;) They're related to Majima but you'll know 'em when you hear and see 'em :nod:

Aye that’s the one!

Although my joy quickly turned to rage trying to learn the fourth ability from Kamoji.

I think I am nearing the final few chapters in this game. I will probably start to complete some of the side missions before continuing on the main quest, which is pretty good! Some of the stuff in this game is just hilarious, from the dancing to the video shop!

Probably on to Yakuza Kiwami or maybe Horizon, which I have not played yet.

After rage quitting on the ¥10,000,000 punchout mission last night when I tried for about an hour to beat it then finally got to 0.13 seconds left on the clock before getting hit I beat it second try today. Granted it kinda glitched and the attakcer just stood there for about the last 10 seconds doing nothing but a victory is a victory so I’ll take it.

Does anyone know of a decent guide for the Sidestories?

I'm trying to get the ones I've missed now that I'm at the point of no return, but every guide I've found is complete gooseberry fool to follow. The guides number the sidestories, which the game itself does, but the sidestory completion list doesn't number them, you only get a number popping up briefly on screen while doing it. Plus unfound/uncompleted ones aren't numbered. This wouldn't be a problem in itself, but no guide seems to list sidestories in the same order that the game does (ie numerically), instead numbering them in some arbitrary order and then sorting them by chapter.

This guide lists them using numbers equivalent to the order they appear in the in game menu but divided by the chapter they become available in.

I’ve been following this guide since near the start of the game.

Those wee sneaky spy poses he and Majima do are hilarious.

Really starting to struggle collecting completion points as Kiryu now. A lot of the ones I need are locked behind mini games that I’m either no good at (pool or batting) or flat out don’t know how to play (mahjong).

EDIT: Making my way through the real estate quest I’ve just spotted what can’t possibly have been an accidental reference to Ultravox.

Same here, never got the hang of the batting and most off those Japanese board game ones I just give up on.

Finished this the other night with 83hrs and 46% completion. Loved it, but over indulged in the side quests; was ready to finish it by the end. Speaking of which, took forever on that final mission with all the cutscenes. Was around 2.5 hrs from the start of the final bit until got to end of the titles!

I think I’m about 60-70 hours in and close to 70% complete but I have been doing just about everything there is to do outside of Mahjong, baseball and pool. I need to have another go at scoring 100,000 in Fantasy Zone, last attempt I got about 75,000 but couldn’t beat the 3rd boss.

I should be able to get enough CP to unlock Kiryu’s limit breaker but probably not the gold pistol without learning to play Mahjong.

The Pool game is absolute bullshit. Even if you pot every single ball but the last one, if the AI pots the last ball then it wins.

70% complete is good going!

Um, that's the rules of 9 ball! If there's a chance for a carom on the 9, always go for it.
