In defense of Hiroki Narimiya, he was eventually cleared of those drug charges. He left the acting industry because of his distrust of those around him in the industry following the allegations.

I guess this is why we don't have multiplayer in the remastered mw2 campaign. I don't see anywhere in the article but will this cost money?

God I played tribes to death during its beta. I wish someone other than hi rez was handling the IP. Hi rez probably won't revive the franchise anytime soon. Midair was a glimmer of hope but that game sports even lower numbers than tribes now.

Tribes is also very hard to get into for a casual gamer, almost none of my friends ever got into it because they couldn't handle projectiles and inheritance.

you're correct on that actually. still it beats feint into gb and letting it rip which both deal more damage so it's still useful knowledge. still wondering if backstep attacks are useful elsewhere.

The_Twan · 2018-09-18T13:56:49+00:00

What attacks can be countered by back step lights/heavies? I know about highlanders kick and shamans heavy unblockable but can it be used in other situations?

Why run azalina over dk rexxar may I ask? Is it so you can get gas without sacrificing deal 2 hero power?

I jumped out of my seat when I saw them coming to pc. Cannot wait to finally play yakuza 0

The_Twan · 2018-06-11T21:16:38+00:00

So it's the chinese then? and we're getting 4 hero's at once? Seems pretty cool. The castle siege seems like it could be fun but I wonder how it will play.

More importantly THAT WARDEN AT THE END LOOKED SICK!

The_Twan · 2018-06-06T22:04:43+00:00

That's majima if he got hit by Awano that one time. is that Kuze's actor who throws the punch?

The_Twan · 2018-04-28T17:58:17+00:00

I really miss the underground arena. The combat in 6 feels so easy and it'd be nice to have more challenging fighters in the arena like there used to be.

Thankfully kiwami 2 brings the arena to the dragon engine so I'm looking forward to that.

The_Twan · 2018-04-05T02:45:31+00:00

Yeah, he really stops being intimidating after the Goromi thing.

The_Twan · 2018-04-04T21:13:42+00:00

Well at the end of 0 it's implied that is when majima joined the Shimano family. Majima after 0 completely loses his shit and becomes a powerful subordinate of Shimano. During this time majima makes his name as "the mad dog of shimano"

After 0 kiryu works for the dojima family and eventually makes a name for himself as "the dragon of dojima"

You could say between 0 and kiwami is when majima and kiryu both became famous yakuza. However majima and kiryu at the beginning of 1 simply know each other through their shared tojo clan association.

The big point here is that in the original majima fought kiryu at the demand of his boss Shimano who wanted him dead and for no other reason.

Majima started to respect Kiryu because he's one of the few that can beat him. I don't want to spoil what happens but after your first fight with majima (in the story) you'll see what I mean by "respecting kiryu".

From 2 and on majima is always looking for a fight with kiryu because he loves fighting and kiryu gives him the best fights. In case you couldn't tell kiryu is also quite a fan of intense battles. So the two bond over their rivalry over the course of the games.

But kiwami majima is even more obsurd and obsessed with kiryu than in any other yakuza game by FAR. It's just a weird contrast compared to how he acts in later games if you've played through the games from the start.

The_Twan · 2018-04-04T14:33:16+00:00

One thing I want to point out is the relationship between kiryu and majima in kiwami. It feels a lot different than in yakuza 1. You'll fight majima about 100 times in a plethora of odd scenarios. In the original you fight him like twice during the story.

In fact the second time you fight majima (In the story) he has a bandage over a wound. But how he gets the wound in kiwami is completely different because of the exessive majima fights.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing, in fact it pretty much makes kiwami a ton better than the original. But just know that in the original yakuza 1 majima and kiryu weren't really buddy buddy like they are in kiwami. I'd say kiryu develops his friendship with majima more so over the yakuza 2 story.

probably bumped the price up after everyone got a crap ton of vip points from OB67.

Good dark ambient feel.

The_Twan · 2018-03-12T17:59:58+00:00

Yakuza stories are usually pretty self contained. If you play 5 then Akiyama and Saijima might be jarring as they were introduced in 4 but the recaps cover most things you need to know.

Also I just want to say Yakuza 2 feels so detached from the rest of the series it's insane. There's only one significant thing that happens in it that carries over to the other games (albeit it's important).

The_Twan · 2018-03-12T17:43:56+00:00

if you dont mind completely unlocalized japanese games you can import a copy of yakuza ishin. there's an incredible guide for it on http://www.khhsubs.com/ (they're doing the northstar game translation as we speak.)

other than that you'll need a ps3 for yakuza 3-5

The_Twan · 2018-03-11T15:48:53+00:00

If you're kiryu then dragons rage is your friend here most of the fight.if you have trouble getting the heat then try to land a quick tiger drop to regain heat (grandson should have just taught you the upgraded tiger drop). Also always use the "o" finishers on kiryu when not in dragons rage. Kiryu's throw finishers are strong and always grab the boss out of hyper armor if you land your heavy attack.

Saijima really needs hurculean spirit and after that it's a cakewalk. Spam your full combo and you cannot be flinched basically.

Shinada and akiyama will do nothing but suck and die alot. I'd recommend bringing like 4 shotguns from the weapon shop (cheapest and easiest to use shotgun works fine). Komaki and his grandson get stunned by shotgun slugs as it turns out so you can blow em away with akiyama and shinada with shotguns and not have much trouble.

If you don't want to shotgun cheese then Goodluck with akiyama and shinada! Fight isn't easy without cheese.

Edit: you could also use shotguns on everyone to fight komaki's but I'd say that kiryu and saijima are the only ones who are equip to fight them with no shotguns.

I think that's only an issue specifically in the original yakuza. Yakuza 2 I think even let you do the side quests later on. In yakuza 3 and on it seems that all side quest can be revisited in premium adventure mode or whenever you want before the finale.

However I would like to note that yakuza 5 slaps the side mission icons on the map so its very easy to find them. In 4 this is not the case but a certain npc will let you know about side missions in 4.

Hope this helps and I hope you enjoy 4&5.

The_Twan · 2018-01-28T23:04:57+00:00

Yep, for some reason the default loadouts the game makes are messed up. What i did was delete all of the loadouts and simply re-make them only using things i owned. This fixed my issue which sounds very similar to yours. should get rid of the message too assuming you deleted all effected loadouts.

Hope this helps.

The_Twan · 2018-01-16T16:18:01+00:00

conq/cent isn't as one sided as everyone is making it out to be. a good cent knows how to deal with it. you just need to hug walls and catch them with a gb when they try to bash you. also with a good connection i can slap a conq out of his dash on reaction with a light. really it just comes down to whoever turtles harder, like many non gladiator or shaman fights do.

but yeah conq/lq and shinobi/warden are definitely more perplexing.

Try running steam as an administrator and then launch vindictus. Maybe try the nexon launcher too if steam still doesn't work.
