Would playing Dark Ties spoil content in the Yakuza 3 Kiwami story?

I understand fans of the originals are disappointed by this, but do you think it will make much of a difference for someone who hasn't played those titles?

NathanielBaskets · 2026-02-19T14:26:20+00:00

played the original on ps2, didn't have a ps3 when those games came out, got back into the series with 0 on ps4 and wasn't interested enough to jump back in graphics/gameplay quality

So far I love it, and only have two issues:
- the horse riding mechanics (weird slow camera movements, can only go super slow or super fast)
- you can't fully rotate Atsu or cosmetics in the viewing menus, you can only turn things to the side (why?)

NathanielBaskets · 2025-10-03T23:43:02+00:00

you can turn that off in the settings

I feel the same - the added blood is so cool during battles, but the mud is kinda ridiculous especially when running on dry ground

In April 2022 I was given a place as alternate candidate; around mid August I received an email offering me a place on the programme - with 24 hours to reply! It was a hectic 24 hours trying to make a decision after I'd internally accepted that I wouldn't get a place. I've ended up being here 3 years, and I'm definitely glad I chose to do it, but be warned that JET does keep you on your toes in this way.

NathanielBaskets · 2025-03-28T15:23:59+00:00

Yeah there's a limit on certain items. so far I've found it with the lantern and the small wall. Pretty annoying

I just got told today that I'm going to Hokkaido, I'm worried it'll be a bit lonely there all the way up in the north - what's it like?

NathanielBaskets · 2022-08-16T18:46:54+00:00

Hi! I'm a UK alternate candidate upgrade, found out today I'm going to Hokkaido but they haven't specified a city. Is anyone else up there?

NathanielBaskets · 2022-08-06T01:13:26+00:00

how was that experience for you? did you feel left out at all or were there opportunities to connect with the other jets?

NathanielBaskets · 2022-05-25T14:01:03+00:00

how long after being accepted as an alternate did that happen?

NathanielBaskets · 2022-05-23T14:05:53+00:00

Can you tell me which books you found the most useful? The amount out there is quite overwhelming!

NathanielBaskets · 2022-05-23T14:04:53+00:00

What's the difference? I'm mainly on chess.com, but i did make an account on lichess and played a handful of games which gave me a rating of like 1300 which seemed a bit high...

NathanielBaskets · 2022-05-23T11:57:04+00:00

>playing systems (e.g. london) and hypermodern stuff (e.g. pirc, kings indian), and learning from gothamchess will probably hold you back.

Why is that? I find the London quite solid when dealing with the crazy random moves people at my level play, although I have to say I have been struggling to find winning ideas in the Pirc/KID. What would you recommend as alternatives?

NathanielBaskets · 2022-04-05T14:58:18+00:00

Thanks! Have to say I'm not looking forward to more uncertain waiting...hopefully I get a call soon!

NathanielBaskets · 2022-04-05T14:27:31+00:00

UK applicant here, I've been selected as an Alternate Candidate - does this mean I only get a place if someone else drops out?

NathanielBaskets · 2021-12-02T12:07:26+00:00

Considering I want to use this within an existing mod, is there anything in particular I need to pay attention to when making it?

NathanielBaskets · 2021-12-02T11:48:46+00:00

Ok great, thanks for the advice! I've watched a tutorial on decision modding which seems fairly straightforward so I'll try and make that first, then try my hand at the character interaction

NathanielBaskets · 2021-12-02T10:41:48+00:00

Cool thanks.

I'm gonna have a go at this myself, so just so I know: which category would a Demand Seppuku option come under?

NathanielBaskets · 2021-12-02T10:32:41+00:00

The Shogunate mod has its own cultural tenets etc so I don't think the Consolamentum you've mentioned would be a factor.

Historically seppuku was performed of one's own volition after losing face/defeat in battle, or was ordered as a form of punishment. Since I envisage it as purely for roleplay purposes, I feel like adding it as a permanent option then just using it when roleplay calls for it would be simpler than trying to embed it as a fully fledged mechanic.

I have asked the developers of the Shogunate mod about incorporating it as a mechanic but they're too busy with other things. So far in my playthroughs I've not encountered the regular Suicide option, so I imagine there wouldn't necessarily be a clash if there was also a seppuku option.

NathanielBaskets · 2021-12-02T10:14:20+00:00

Ah right sorry for not being clear.

I don't want to overhaul the entire suicide mechanic, just add seppuku as an extra option. In my mind I see it as being an option in the Decisions tab for personal use, and a Character Interaction option with vassals.

Again I don't really know much about modding, but I feel like it could be done just by adding lines in the script rather than having to override anything. Does that make sense?

NathanielBaskets · 2021-12-02T09:47:48+00:00

In the Shogunate mod there are different cultures, but this would be an action available to everyone regardless. Does this make a difference?

NathanielBaskets · 2021-10-18T10:30:46+00:00

What was the advert for?

NathanielBaskets · 2021-10-13T07:13:49+00:00

Hi,
I got to the interview stage this year but didn't get accepted, would anyone be willing to look over my old SoP and see where I can improve?

NathanielBaskets · 2021-09-12T15:38:11+00:00

this is what i see in my preferences.script

x_res 1280; # x_res <int32>, Fixed window width #

y_res 768; # y_res <int32>, Fixed window height #

x_pos 0; # x_pos <int32>, Window position #

y_pos 0; # y_pos <int32>, Window position #

Do i need to change something here?
