I didn't know you could do that!
---

I'm not sure if it does anything extra because they're going to fight you anyway when you get too close to them

they just cuss you out for staring at them instead
---

You must love the fact that the game no longer goes into an additional loading screen for fights.
---

what about Yo! Noid

It's still kinda loading though and they just stare at eachother for a few seconds and ready their fists
---

Yeah I guess, much faster though and future games will keep getting better about this.

At least you can now run around the streets much more smoothly.
---

Yakuza 3 - 11/45 Trophies Obtained!

Collected 5 pieces of garbage off the beach

Apparently the boxes that contain items that wash ashore didn't count only the things the game calls actual garbage :(
---

Caught a Big Tuna in the fishing minigame
---

Yakuza 3 - 13/45 Trophies Obtained!

Kiryu it's great you care about the environment so much but plz stop
---

Completed 30 substories

Finishing up my final few hours with the kids before I get back into the business
---

I can do some Haruka-ing before the end of chapter 4 but it doesn't look like there's any reason to in this game as far as trophies go
---

Yakuza 3 - 15/45 Trophies Obtained!

Had my first revelation and posted about it on my blog
---

that dude had Zoro's voice form One Piece. he even pulls out a sword halfway through the fight

this was also the fight that was in the demo for this game that I played many years ago
---

He's in yakuza 0 as an unrelated character
---

Kazuma "Marathoner" Kiryu
---

Yakuza 3 - 19/45 Trophies Obtained!

I'm guessing there's a ton of story left in this chapter because that boss came super early into the chapter
---

Yakuza 3 - 20/45 Trophies Obtained!

Got a turkey in bowling
---

wasting my life away in Club Sega trying to catch all 25 prizes in UFO Catcher 7 MAX Edition
---

---

Yakuza 3 - 22/45 Trophies Obtained!

Hit 2 panels with 1 ball in the batting cages on Hard Difficulty

Baseball is REALLY HARD

until you figure out the visual trick then it's 10x more manageable.
---

whoops nevermind Extra Hard baseball removes the aiming cursor
---

okay yeah I'm going to have to head to walmart for this and pick up some yarn or something to mark where to swing on on the tv
---

wait nevermind I just laid a corded controller over my TV this should work
---

got it

For reference of what I did you can see the USB cable hanging over the top of TV the very end of the USB cable is where the reticule is


---

Finished up darts in both locations so I think I only have the various gambling games as far as minigames go which I can use all those cheating items from the lockers to get through.
---

Yakuza 3 - 23/45 Trophies Obtained!

Finished 50 fights with a HEAT action
---

Yakuza 3 - 24/45 Trophies Obtained!

---

Yakuza 3 - 25/45 Trophies Obtained!

Won at least 10,000 tags across the 4 gambling minigames
---

getting the hang of Koi Koi starting to pull off 2x combos on hard mode. It's easier to learn than mahjong was
---

I don't think I'm topping that

also just enough to get me over 10K and be done with this game
---

Yakuza 3 - 26/45 Trophies Obtained!

Won 10,000 chips in the casino games
---

Yakuza 3 - 27/45 Trophies Obtained!

50 substories completed
---

SHINE I can't remember, does Yakuza 3 have an in-game completion list? If not, they're going to start doing it in the next game and hoo boy I think it'll send your heart aflutter.
---

it has the same type of list Yakuza 2 had where everything is just ??????????? until you do it then it fills in.

Right now my completion is 212/619
---

I think for the first time ever in a Yakuza game I ran into some scam artists who immediately recognized Kiryu and gave back the money they stole without a fight
---

so because I don't want to accidentally look up spoilers, is Goh Hamazaki based on a real life actor? He just has one of those faces that seems more realistic than the other characters.
---

anyway at the exective meeting 2 of them want Kiryu to return as an interim chairman while Daigo recovers, 2 of them don't and majima just doesn't care.

Sounds about right
---

aww man it was a trap Kashawagi's office got lit up by a minigun on a chopper and he died in the process

and that's the end of chapter 5
---

chapter 6 starts with running from the police who suspect Kiryu since his clothes are covered in blood

then suddenly Date-san <3

From here on out assume that a lot of new detailed characters ressemble the people voicing them.
---

---
