Playing a game in another language, how hard was that? I've read about people doing it with JRPGs and a section translation guide from the internet!

For the most part quite easy. Thankfully the Yakuza series has pink way points for the most of the time showing where you need to go. I think in all the games I've played only 2 or 3 times I have been completely stumped and needed to look at a guide. The great thing about Kiwami is that if you have played Yakuza 1 before you know 90% of the story (some parts have been added in though).

Will there be a archive of the stream? Can't watch at the moment but would def give archive a viewing.

Had a quick peek and was not aware previous Yakuza games had a sort of isometric view. (due to PS2/game engine limitations, I assume.) I'm glad they went with a proper 3D camera with later games.

Indeed. I've already submitted it to Youtube and I'm just waiting for it to finish processing.

Ok, so I can't take screenshots or video similar to Yakuza 0... wow not good.

Kotaku published an article about this problem in 0 http://kotaku.com/yakuza-0-does-not-want-you-taking-screenshots-1695202267

Sega :fp: I swear, sometimes I think it'd be for the best if they just died a proper death. Bunch of backward idiots.

Ok, I'm broadcasting now for an hour or two to see if it allows me to stream any of the gameplay straight from the PS4 to twitch.

Probably just a splash page but would be interesting to see if any parts of the gameplay is allowed to be streamed.

EDIT: I've stopped streaming since no gameplay was being streamed. Give me a few minutes I'll load up another Yakuza game to see if I can stream that instead.

So it looks like all Yakuza games on the PS4 block you from streaming directly from the PS4 :( I should buy a streaming box to bypass that.

There's a theory on GAF which says it's down to the licensing of RL products, and or Sega protecting actors/voice actors.

Wow! Haven't played 5 for a while because i've got addicted to bloodborne again and wasn't too keen on the haruka bit. Hope her story is quick!

I felt the same way, but it really does pick up. Story wise, at least. Though I also ended up enjoying the gameplay. (On easy and normal settings.)

Just seems odd and slightly weird if you ask me. I will push on next week.

Yakuza 6 really does look brilliant. I do hope yakuza 0 gets a retail release and sells well.

Can we have a separate thread for this game?


Isn't this the official Yakuza topic?

There is always room for another Yakuza thread, and we did have separate ones for 3 and 4. It's about time we had another.
If people want to carry on using this as a general Yakuza thread, then they're welcome to do so.

Just finished 5.

End game spoilers:
Last guy's health bar:

Image :x

Shinada's solitary tear. (Before he starts blubbering. :lol: :wub: )

I finally start to like Park and *bam* dead. And I cannot believe they kept her dead. No one strawberry floating dies in this! Such bullshit.

I actually thought the hardest fight in the game would be the guy in charge of the agency. He was a strawberry floating pushover. :slol: :fp: I think hardest fight (not counting last boss and his amazing technicolour health bar) for me was against Baba as Shinada.

Completion total: 34.01%
Play time: 72h 21m

Oh and, WHERE THE strawberry float WAS ASIA?! :x :x :x :cry:

I did change the title to The Yakuza Thread a while back, but then changed it back recently. And I did actually suggest at the time of Y0's original announcement, that someone should maybe make a Y0 thread but no one did. So I carried on posting about it in here.

Maybe worth having a separate thread for 0 too, I always get confused as hell in here as some people call the games by the Japanese names/numbers.
