Current Events > To my fellow joshi, how are you enjoying Like a Dragon Ishin right now?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm still in the intro but I love the setting so far. Once you get used to the combat, it's pretty fun >_>

If you're just a lowly goshi who can't play it until 2/21, sucks to be you lawl

Don't forget to enable glossary toggles in the settings. It helps for some of the more Japanesey stuff >_>

Is the DLC list from Bob kinda glitched for anyone? I can obtain all of them, but part of the list doesn't get the checkmark >_>

Are you talking to yourself?

Hey wait you're right.

Oh question Neon. Tell me about the "Bakumatsu Archives". How is it broken up? Are there like articles on events and such, or is it just people and terms?

Hey wait you're right.

You gotta pace yourself. Gamer society needs 3 Yakuza guides within a year with Ishin, Gaiden, and 8. You gotta seize every break you can get >_>

lol you're looking at the guy who literally wrote five full guides in a year. This is three guides over TWO years actually. I'll be fine.

Heck sometimes I get restless when I'm not writing. That's how my Obra Dinn guide showed up.

I love Japanese history so I wanna play it.. though it's also set in my least favorite part of Japanese history

There is also Kenzan which is set in 1600s, but is only on PS3 and never got translated >_>

So never mind me waiting until Tuesday for my physical copy. Amazon said my copy won't arrive until Thursday. Nuts to that I already took off work.

Downloaded and started.

Doesn't come out til the 21st so I'm not enjoying it at all yet

Never rely on Amazon to deliver shit on time

@CyricZ if you still need to see how the Bakumatsu Archives are listed, here you go. I don't have memoirs unlocked yet though >_> But otherwise it just looks like people and terms for now. Go to direct links to see the full size

ive only played yakuza 0 and kiwami 1, i feel like i have to play the entire series in order, but my time is consumed by trails of cold steel >.>

Its pretty fun, Im 15 hours in and on Chapter 3

Thanks Neon. I've also looked at what's in there on my game and I've basically decided to make a "supplementary glossary" for things they don't cover.

I was kinda iffy on the demo but preordered it anyway and glad I did. I've lingered quite a bit though and haven't done much story, which I kind of regret now because I spent a bunch of Virtue that I should've saved for *chapter 4 non-main story spoilers* my farm.

It feels like it stutters pretty commonly when changing scenes on PC >_> It's minor but definitely noticeable

That might have to do with whatever this Shader thing is, where when you first see an effect it stutters, but afterwards it's fine. Then again, the big cutscenes are pre-rendered anyway at 30fps so I'm not sure.

I've also heard reports of people having trouble with ultrawide monitors. Text scrolling past borders and the like.

Which is a bummer because they figured it out for PC ports of other games in the series.

What the fuck lol. I was singing Karaoke and a bunch of live action footage gravure models just showed up randomly >_>

I do have the game set at 60fps. Do you think the game logic is fucked up at that framerate? I know Yakuza 3 also had that problem where if you put the framerate too high, some of the mini games would break

Not sure, I have it set to 144 and its running pretty well.

Also if theres a couple things that grind my gears about the game, its that substories and friendships dont appear in the map. You gotta talk to literally everyone.

Yeah, the Diligence Records dont tell you how many friendships there are.

i'll wait for a sale

I caught a fishiki.

I caught a fishiki.

I tried fishing a tiny bit and is there really no QTE's to catch the fish like in 0? Or was it because I was catching puny fish with my starter rod?

I've only gotten to play chapter one because life decided to rob me if all my free time, but I love it so far.

Is Gun style really just spam Square to win? >_> That's all I ever do with it lol

I've had it for 3 days but I'm still only on Chapter 2. But hopefully this week I'll have some more free time >_>

I bought this day one to support the series. Coming on Thursday.

I still have LAD, Lost Judgment, and the Fist of the North Star game to get through. I know they aren't connected, but that is the path I'm on now.

Luckily, by the time I get here CyricZ will have a guide up to help with sidequests.

There isn't much else going on except the special ammo with various effects. The grab is kinda pointless too but at least there's a heat move associated with it.

I just paid a whole fucking 1 ryo to get drunk with a prostitute at a brothel and not have sex with her. What the fuck! I kinda want to try again and not get too drunk this time but that 1 ryo is really expensive right now >_>

I'm doing strip rock paper scissor with her and everytime she throws out a sign, her boobs bounce >_> What a great game!

What the actual fuck is this sex minigame lmao I'm doing a shmup with Kiryu as the ship lol
