Yakuza - it's like Shenmue, but actually fun to play - The Bear and Badger

I'm pretty sure He wasn't a random salary man.

I guess you know something I don't. Loving taking on the 5 billionaires. The catfighting has me confused as it's so random. The telephone chat up is an annoying game. The exotic videos, bloody hell. Had to skip it as wife was about to walk in. Will have to watch them when she's not around.

Don't you install a security guy? I always thought it was him

That's exactly who it is.

For me the random help happened before real estate management ever started.

Ok, that's genuinely weird. Not sure who that is, then.

Can I stash my cash somewhere? I've got some plates to sell (one a diamond plate which is nuts money) but don't want to bump into shakedown...

mistercrayon

Buy everything you want and spend the rest on abilities.

MattyJ

I'm only on Chapter 3 (I think, just doing the Grand club stuff), so it's fine to just splash that cash on abilities?

regmcfly

Yep. Really abilities are the main thing and you're about to be swimming in money

MattyJ

Aw yeah. Means I can finish off those 'training' sub-stories too.

Finished chapter 4.

Bizzarely, the best thing about the game so far is the story! Some proper good thrillery stuff so far.

Struggling a bit with everything else. I like the fighting mostly, but the constant interruptions of text-conversations for side-missions is doing my head in.

So far the Chapter 1 has been my highlight (but 4 was close).

MattyJ

I'm trying to do as many side missions up front as I can, and then when the later chapters arrive I can push in through to completion. Just on chapter 4 myself and picked up the Break style of fighting, which seems a laugh. Mostly using weapon with Goro though.

Me too - I've been quite vocal about how much I like the story in this. I'd say you're in for a treat, then - the story gets better and better.

Breaker for groups, weapon for bosses = Easy Mode.

There were a fair few "oh fuck!" moments later on, as the story twisted and turned.

I'm on the final chapter now, but I've taken a break from the story to piss about and improve my bowling etc.

It's the music. The saxophone line of ddurrudurududududu and then the sunshine music which gets all raved up

mistercrayon

Secret: the best music is in the menu

Spoiler:

At the weapons shop.

I got given 300mil yen as goro for winning cabaret battle. Just spend it all on upgrading his abilities? Unlike the other chap, goro doesn't buy properties right?

There's a way of shifting finances between Kiryu and Majima.

regmcfly

Er you can kind of spend it on properties with goro

optimark_prime

I had no idea.

Howdy, Stranger!
