Lately I've been thinking about playing Y1 again. Gaps in my knowledge about it. Kinda want to make a guide for it (wouldn't take long as the others). Vtuber Korone was playing it this past week.

I mean at least it's a better game than the cat fights from 0. There's actually some semblance of strategy in MesuKing! Kind of addicting almost, lol.

Yeah but it's still the same basic play. Fortunately they don't ask too much of you for it for completion.

That's the 1 thing I really dislike about the franchise. The mind numbing/infuriating things along with the sheer quantity they expect completionists to do. Despite usually being someone that always strives for that 100% I always knew I would never get it in a Yakuza game.
A single challenge for poker, yet always a dozen for majhong which I just can't be arsed to learn.
Then there's always 1 minigame (or portion of) that seems to be there just to frustrate me.
FotNS Lost Paradise's doctor rhythm minigame is easily the biggest offender.

I can't imagine playing this game with that little Majima. The Majima everywhere system adds so much to the game.
Oddly enough that's sort of kind of how I played through K1. I completely missed the encounter that kicks it off (Majima hiding under a traffic cone) and so Majima Everywhere just didn't happen. Of course then I ended up doing it all at once late in the game and it became tedious af

That's wild. It would certainly become tedious without it being spread throughout the game. I'm sorry you missed that encounter originally.

I fought majima maybe twice and then he stopped showing up. I have no idea what I wasn't doing to trigger it. I kind of thought he would be calling me out constantly.

Dude when I found out the PS2 version of this song was used in a specific boss fight and long battle while the Kiwami versions didn't use this song I was so freaking pissed. Such a waste of an amazing song.

I feel like SOMEONE must have caught onto Shimano blatantly trying to sell out the Tojo Clan by now, because I doubt this is only his second offense.

Kiryu spends more time as a yakuza offscreen than on, then falls into the "they keep pulling me back in" trope where he's a civilian but most of the Tojo are incompetent.

And that's game.

Great game! Better than 0 imo; 0 has a superior story, but Kiwami was a much tighter and frictionless experience. Excited to play 2 whenever I get around to it.

Be sure to make a topic. Haven't played Kiwami 2 yet myself, so I'll start it up along with you

Kiwami 2 is freaking amazing. Loved it, especially with the totally new dragon engine.

Don't fall for the meme that Jingu is a hard fight, just Tiger Drop bro!

If there's one thing you can't Tiger Drop, it's a bullet.

https://www.reddit.com/r/yakuzagames/comments/mi175i/kiryu_can_tiger_drop_gunshots/

Actually, you can! In Kiwami 1 at least lol. And Jingu himself doesn't even deserve Tiger Drop tbh, just Tiger Drop his meatshields, easy peasy. I seriously didn't have trouble with this fight at all. Then again, probably helps that I maxed out on everything from finishing the Majima Everywhere sidequest. You get so much Exp just from bullying Majima, it's ridiculous.

Ehhhh, he's Tiger Dropping the attacking enemy that he's standing next to. While the attack is a gunshot, it registers as an attack. If Kiryu were distant (as Jingu insists on being), then you're only dealing with a hitbox, not a hurtbox.

I mean yeah it's funny, but it predicates being next to the guy.
