So I'm in the middle of the Media King real estate stuff and something I'm still not quite clear on yet is which advisor (I have them all unlocked) to use for a specific property. For example, if I'm trying to level up a restaurant, should I use Miracle (5*, O proficiency) or Mama-san (3*, OO proficiency, and a fraction of MJ's price)?

Mama san. Double circle = the best rating & star is just a multiplier? Think MJ is the best for levelling entertainment venues.
― gyac, Thursday, 16 May 2019 21:15 (five years ago) link
These people seem to say to always use Miracle: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/816306-yakuza-0/75652469
I'm not yet at the point where I can throw ¥50m at every property I want to upgrade, so seeing the bar move up by only 1/10th keeps leaving me with buyer's remorse.
Meanwhile, in the rough-and-tumble world of the high-level, high-stakes pocket circuit: I love the animation when Kiryu loses! His disappointment and sadness is so heartfelt!

Nah, not into it tbh, I’m not mad about street fights as they are but they are something you just get over as fast as possible if you’re not in the mood; this looks like it takes much longer.Side note: judgement is AMAZING

Yakuza 0 on sale for $10 on PSN store right now. I picked it up.So far I beat up a bunch of idiots, played in the batting cages, won a cute creature that apparently is a reanimated corpse from a crane game, got handed a pocket pack of tissues, and now I have to investigate the shady real estate company that’s buying up a bunch of neighborhood businesses

actually they improved the batting cage game in recent ones but other than that 0 has the best slate of side activities

Jesus Christ @ Judgement, fucking gang leaders want to fight me like every five minutes, can't get anything done like this. And if I ignore them I get the passive agressive text messages.

You can get that in premium adventure mode (it’s free dlc!)

Ok, this may be just me last night but I totally fell asleep starting Yakuza 0 and an hour in. SLOW. SLOOOOOW.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 12 February 2020 19:44 (four years ago) link
definitely slow. It's kind of a game for hanging out in, more than like plowing through, it seems like.

Go to a Karaoke bar! Play Mahjong!

I am trying to get past a lot of this dialogue to get more into the story but now we can't find the game we saved last night. OMG I was so bad at karaoke.

Yakuza doesn't autosave, you have to manually do it (at a telephone booth) (remember those?).
― Charlotte Brontesaurus (Leee), Wednesday, 12 February 2020 19:54 (four years ago) link
yeah we found it. Thank G. We have had guests for a week (that just left) so am now cramming in a bunch of playing.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 12 February 2020 19:57 (four years ago) link
I appreciate the sideburns in this game.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 12 February 2020 20:09 (four years ago) link
Playing the hd remakes for PS4 rn. 3 was a total treat with all the added back content, but the mahjong was harder than in all the other games! Now on 4 and taking my time with mini games and completion til I get bored. Definitely a good self-isolation investment.

Zero is chronologically the first one!

I watched the entirety of Yakuza 0 being streamed in Giant Bomb videos recently. Less time consuming than replaying the whole damn thing and it's so story heavy that it works out pretty well. Fucking love this series so much.

xp I’m playing this! I’ve never played an RPG of any stripe before so, you know, interesting. Ichiban is a great character, I love him. The beginning is very cutscene heavy but I’m just starting to unlock stuff now. It’s hard to earn money at the start, so it helps if you can win at mahjong. A thing I am not sure is widespread in other games series is how sympathetic the series generally is towards homeless people - in this, you’re taken in by a homeless man, who is a member of your party and who you can bond with and level up, and you help protect sex workers from Japanese ultra conservatives!. It’s a very interesting story. Yokohama is great too, it’s by far the biggest city you have to play in in any of the series and it’s gorgeously done.
― scampus fugit (gyac), Tuesday, 17 November 2020 15:20 (three years ago) link
Played Judgment last month and it's good, but the main character is just obnoxiously smart and good at everything; into Y7 now and it's so nice to just slip into the shoes of an absolute dumbass
The game's apparent attempts to grapple with some of the series' more problematic recurring themes are definitely interesting. Had a bit of a grim lol at Nanba's righteous monologue about the no-win situation the homeless are in being followed up by him joining your party and disabling enemies with noxious homeless guy burps
Had some mid jaw-agape moments involving ad*lt b*bies and some enemies dancing around wearing full bin bags
― hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Tuesday, 17 November 2020 15:59 (three years ago) link
Oh this series loves the adult baby takeovers, they were in 2/Kiwami 2 as well
― scampus fugit (gyac), Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:09 (three years ago) link
But i don’t know that the series was ever dodgy wrt depiction of homeless people? It definitely depicts homelessness as prevalent and an incredibly difficult grinding existence, and homeless characters are depicted largely sympathetically
