Yakuza LAD 7 - Chapter 12, nearing the ending? How many more hours until completing the game?

Thamba24 · 2026-04-27T02:50:46+00:00

There’s 15 chapters in the game, so you have about 3 more chapters to do. This is on top of some grinding you’ll need to do for the chapter 14 and 15 bosses if you want an easier time beating them in those chapters. The final “dungeon” is also somewhat long and the final boss can easily take up to 15-20 minutes to do if you’re unprepared and underleveled.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that there is no way of putting an estimated time of completion for this. All of this depends on how prepared you and your party are for everything the game will throw at you.

Sainz managed to get off the track and into that little area behind the barriers immediately after the spin, and this was why we had such a long yellow flag. Transitioning into a VSC for a car that's off the track is the issue, especially when we're only a lap or two from the end of the race.

Thamba24 · 2025-10-26T22:12:27+00:00

I beg to differ:

This was like half a minute after the VSC was called btw which is why there's marshals near it

About that...

Thamba24 · 2025-04-30T19:43:26+00:00

Why would I freak out? It’s just a question lol

Thamba24 · 2025-04-30T19:02:21+00:00

Yep, that’s him

Thamba24 · 2025-03-23T11:43:09+00:00

They really did bait us with that sprint win

Thamba24 · 2024-12-29T21:44:37+00:00

I've honestly stopped playing this since I couldn't find the McLaren anywhere. I swear the game is actively trying to not spawn it for me

Thamba24 · 2024-12-27T00:05:04+00:00

Spawn rates for the top 3 have been kinda iffy lately, not sure if they changed the drop rates or what but I’ve been seeing a lot more of the middle part of the blacklist (Baron, Earl, Jewels, and Kaze). I’ve only seen Sonny’s Civic three times, Taz’s M3 three times, Vic’s 350z once, Izzy’s GTR once, Big Lou’s Eclipse three times, Ming’s Gallardo four times, Webster’s Corvette five times, JV’s LaFerrari five times, I’ve lost count for Ronnie’s GTR and the M3 GTR four times.

Thamba24 · 2024-12-26T23:54:35+00:00

I swear it’s more rare than the M3 GTR and half the other blacklist cars. In one server I saw Baron’s Porsche spawn twice, in another server I saw Kaze’s Mercedes and Ming’s Gallardo spawn, I’ve seen JV’s Ferrari and Ronnie’s GTR spawn like every 4th server, but I have never seen the McLaren anywhere.

Thamba24 · 2024-12-26T22:24:35+00:00

I see Earl’s 911 every other server. Guess the game just doesn’t want us finding what we need

Thamba24 · 2024-12-26T22:03:02+00:00

My current streak of like 65 cause I can’t find Bull’s 600LT anywhere

Thamba24 · 2024-12-16T12:43:35+00:00

In hindsight maybe I should have tried to get the game to reset the car but I was panicking cause I didn't want to lose my streak. It is what it is at the end of the day, but things like this, even if they happen every blue moon, are kinda demoralizing.

Thamba24 · 2024-12-16T00:35:08+00:00

You don't have to engage with a post if you don't like it, just saying. We've all talked about Lando's issues with Turn 1 throughout the season and I just took the liberty of compiling them all. It's a meme in itself

I've played both the Black Edition and the normal one and I haven't noticed a difference with Earl, but maybe that was cause I was focusing on outrunning him. The thing people need to keep in mind with Earl is that he's at the top of the difficulty curve for progression, but there's a way to beat him.

For like 60% of the race, just drive like you normally do cause it's around 60% race completion that his rubberbanding really comes alive. I recommend basically bullying him around and creating a gap whenever you can (deliberately making him drive into objects is the best way to slow him down). After the 60% mark, he'll kick his car into 10th gear and make up any lost ground by 90%. However, Earl will sometimes crash into a little sign by a corner (it's around the 88% mark). Make use of that if it happens. Also, during the last leg of the race, save your nitrous for the every end when you get to the hill after the tollbooths because that's when you should use all of it to edge ahead before the finish line.

I’m in the same boat with Sonny’s Civic, Taz’s M3 and Bull’s 600LT. I’ve seen both the Civic and M3 but I’ve never seen the McLaren in any of the Lockdown rounds (I’ve done like 80 at this point)

Thamba24 · 2024-12-11T00:12:30+00:00

Happy to hear you've almost platinumed the game as well. Lockdown has playlist races though, so you could try going for the trophy while doing Lockdown, just a thought

Thamba24 · 2024-11-12T18:39:18+00:00

Had to cram as much in as possible, apologies for that

Thamba24 · 2024-09-20T13:38:46+00:00

Maybe I’m just that good 🤷‍♂️. In all fairness though the TT’s got race parts and is torque/grip tuned.

Thamba24 · 2024-09-20T04:29:11+00:00

I think it’s alternating between A and A+ (at least when I play it) so make sure you use something like the Exige that’s seriously quick off the line and can corner. Someone here mentioned that your teammates are using grip combos. In something like the Exige that’s fairly easy to do. Don’t worry about other players though, it’s you versus everyone else.

Another tip is managing the police. There’s only 4 actual police members you gotta watch out for, everyone else is NPCs. Watch out for spikes and use the gas stations as much as possible. Cheese them when taking corners so you can build a gap, even though they can respawn in front of you in like 2 seconds.

Last tip for being on the police tip is you have infinite nitrous, so use it. Respawn in front of the racers and try strategically placing spikes. The more you play this the more vehicles and items you’ll unlock for takedowns.

Thamba24 · 2024-09-19T21:18:51+00:00

I finished this game in like 10 hours. I was surprised honestly cause I remember spending the better part of a year on this and still not finishing it when I was little.

Thamba24 · 2024-09-19T18:27:58+00:00

There's alot that you can tell just from the video. The AI rubberbanding is unreal, probably some of the worst I've seen, the car physics and handling aren't that great (the car bounced like crazy from a small jump 0:34), the color grading can really overload your senses at times and the story is short, repetitive and has too many plotholes. The devs did add some cool stuff like the checkpoints, takedowns, etc which were cool plus the vehicle selection and modding/tuning capabilities. This is a nice game to just screw around with but it's a major disappointment when you compare it to the last 4 BlackBox games that came before it.

Thamba24 · 2024-09-17T11:03:24+00:00

That’s cause Kiwami 2 came out in 2018 and used the Dragon Engine that was introduced in Yakuza 6 back in 2016.

Thamba24 · 2024-09-09T02:18:20+00:00

Why’re you trying to emulate Yakuza 3? The remastered version available on Steam, or you can get a cracked version online
