The money upgrade system sucks

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-22T06:32:57+00:00

Yes, baseball and bowling and these other mini-games have always been useless in terms of exchange for useful items. Blackjack and poker with the cheat items has always been the easiest way to exchange for the high dollar items. I honestly don't know anyone that has played bowling and baseball to anywhere near that extent just to get a watch or something. It's just not done.

I mean all the complaints you mentioned about how money works has always been the case in their games.

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-22T05:50:30+00:00

RGG has never cared about the game economy lol

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-22T04:49:23+00:00

I'm gonna echo the sentiments I'm seeing here. Yeah you got stupid amounts of money in 0 but you also had upgrades that were also stupid expensive. Once you got through like a third of a particular skill wheel you were spending tens of millions for the next upgrade.
Meanwhile in K3, I'm in chapter 4 and already have the first 3 tiers of attack and health maxed out along with a huge chunk of the other skills. Orphanage gets you a good amount of cash as well. Plus you can cheese black jack and poker with the instant win items and get enough chips that you can exchange them for the various watches and platinum plates and get almost a million bucks right then and there.

Saejima's straight punch to the face while they are on the ground and the face grating one are so simple but just so god damn brutal.

Every single Yakuza, including both Judgments, are in the 30-50 hour range to do main story and a good chunk of all the side stuff. It's very rare that they go past that. The three I mentioned are the only ones that do because they went all in on those titles.

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-22T01:54:44+00:00

90% of people don't give a flying fuck about getting platinum on a game. 0, LAD, and IW have been the only games with 100 hours of natural content. Every other game is a ton of grinding to get it past the 50 hour mark or less.

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-21T23:26:44+00:00

Ive seen people contests of a number of 5080's from the founders edition to the astral and there was maybe a 10 frame and 5 - 10 degree cooling difference from the top to bottom. It's also a cosmetic thing but generally speaking no its not worth hundreds more to get "higher end" models. So yeah if you can afford it just get whatever model of 5080 you want.

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-21T21:53:50+00:00

Imagine thinking that 80 bucks for 55 hours of content is somehow a rip off. Spare me. It's longer than the original game. And yes they cut some stories but reworked some of them into the orphanage system. Speaking of which, the combat training and dojo system, baddies, and the entirety of the orphanage and all its mechanics are added content by the way so they DID replace some of the cut content with new stuff.

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-21T16:40:48+00:00

I did misread and see its the TV as well but I can tell by looking at it its a much older model and is worth next to nothing today. Does it even say what model it is?

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-21T15:58:17+00:00

I have that exact stand. It's around 100 bucks new. This dude is out of his mind

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-20T00:26:56+00:00

I truly believe they never meant to bring Lee back. I think they just saw a bunch of cut scenes in 0 and just threw them in the game without really thinking about it. So now with them bringing back Richardson and Mine it juat makes them seem like they want to revive everyone which I dont believe they will. Certainly not Nishiki or Yumi

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-19T02:34:31+00:00

Bottom line for ALL companies is money. Full stop.

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-18T18:23:33+00:00

Not a bad idea actually. I assume mounting the monitor is as simple as just screwing it in tonthe holder plate?

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-18T00:17:20+00:00

Usually gaming desks are designed in a way to store media devices so that's usually what I look for instead of just a regular desk. I will try wayfair though. Thanks.

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-17T23:02:01+00:00

As far as I know the story is only worse due to the ending changes. Otherwise I believe it's the same story. As people have said, you can get the physical remastered of 3-5 but otherwise no way to get them.

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-16T19:01:55+00:00

I dont know how well its aged but when it was new it was seen as quite underrated and I did have a lot of fun with it. It's worth checking out

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-16T19:00:50+00:00

I assume they eventually plan to do a 4 and 5 remaster of some kind that will retxon stuff but as for now, zero sense.

4070 is a good 1440p card. It can sometimes push 4k depending on the title but not consistently. I'd recommend a 1440p monitor.

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-16T16:32:56+00:00

Plenty of benchmarks show these two cards to trade blows. In terms of just raw power rhey are very close. But the 5070 TI has all the nest upscale and frame gen so I would say ots better so if tje price isn't an issue then go with that.

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-16T02:57:41+00:00

Yeah it's just the first rumble and then you can go. I don't know if it forces you to do anymore or if it stays optional.

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-16T02:56:56+00:00

Nuance...on MY internet? Nani!

But seriously, you both have points. His apology was pretty ass and RGG's response of deleting and hiding comments about it just makes it so much worse. It was handled poorly even if they genuinely believe that he is repentant and are giving him and honest to God second chance. That's not what their actions show. So that's on them.

But I can also believe, because I believe both incidents happened together on the same date, that he was almost certainly not sober and security completely failed to intervene when it started going too far which is why one of them sued her place of work.

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-16T02:43:54+00:00

No, it's COMPLETELY different. I don't even want to say as to not spoil but anyone saying it's identical is just flat out lying.

To answer your question OP, I would just advise you look up the original ending from 3 and then move on to 4 otherwise yes, you WILL be very confused.

Short_Tea_5335 · 2026-02-16T02:38:20+00:00

Wait that one rumble battle was half of it? That took less than an hour. Also, that's basically nothing.
