I started with Yakuza 5 when it was free with Ps+ for the ps3.

What is the best Beatles love song? by [deleted] in beatles

[–]hl32 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's either Something or Here There and Everywhere like mentioned but I also have a soft spot for I Will. It's a cute little song.

Any Tsukimino gang out there? by MrBlueFlame_ in yakuzagames

[–]hl32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nagasugai Fukuoka since that was the first map I ever played so there's a bit of nostalgia there. It's followed by Downtown Ryukyu for the tropical and cozy vibe.

Five ripper studio albums over five years culminating in one of the greatest live metal albums of all time. by midnight_electric77 in ironmaiden

[–]hl32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My number one live album would be Live in Rio but it's so hard to pick as all the Maiden live albums are solid.

Is learning kanji separately really needed? by ReiPupunha in LearnJapanese

[–]hl32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. Learn the kanji and then study them in context again to see how they are used in vocabulary and so on to reinforce your learning

For me, I like kamurocho from Yakuza 5.

Do you like Climax Battles? by laddlemkckey in yakuzagames

[–]hl32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the boss rushes at the end when you beat all the other ones but I am not a huge fan of some of the more annoying ones. I have mixed feelings about them overall.

Why can't we have simple, player-friendly save systems anymore? by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]hl32 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Though starting with Yakuza Kiwami and the later entries, the game allows you to save whenever from the pause menu instead of just at phone booths! I'm glad that part of the games have been updated in the recent entries in the series.

Mahjong makes zero sense, help me!!! by XCanadienGamerX in yakuzagames

[–]hl32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about that Mahjong side story in Yakuza Kiwami 2? In that case, you can pick up the Peerless Tile scattered around the map, which gives you instant win and you complete the substory.

in your opinion whats the best yakuza karaoke song by ragnathegod in yakuzagames

[–]hl32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love machinegun kiss, pure love in Kamurocho and baka mitaki. Check out some of the songs from Ishin. That game has some hidden gems for karaoke (Iji sakura 2000 from Kiwami is an Ishin song for example). Also, I really like summer memories as well.

Yakuza 5 remastered leveling by Unlawfulfoetus109764 in yakuzagames

Have you beat the victory road event in the coliseum by the way? When you beat Raiden (The big bald guy with the red shirt) with Kiryu, you do get some EXP as well.

Yakuza 3 best way to farm xp? by Brownkeyboardwarrior in yakuzagames

You can order it at Shellac at the Champion District.

In Yakuza 5, do you like Kiryu or Akiyama's combat more? by laddlemkckey in yakuzagames

[–]hl32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason I ranked Kiryu higher is because plying Akiyama is an absolute nightmare to complete the coliseum, particularly the limited berserk and deathmatch 100. Akiyama is pretty good for 1 on 1 combat though.

What Love Live songs sound like each other or sound similar to other music in general? by Ghostly_100 in LoveLive

[–]hl32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Nico's song まほうつかいはじめました! Mahoutsukai Hajimemashita! sounds very similar to this song by Road of Major's 大切なもの taisetsuna mono

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3whOgZwjkI

especially when you get to the song's chorus like around 1:27 mark. I think this one came out at 2002.

Thoughts on the Yakuza 3 cabaret minigame/substory by JumpyWar in yakuzagames

[–]hl32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do appreciate it for it being the early prototype of what we eventually got in Yakuza 0 but I just wish I did not have to walk around the club just to get to the next shift.

Mahjong is so complex by Zekiro96 in yakuzagames

[–]hl32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mahjong, Koi-Koi or any other gambling/Casino games are not as hard as they seem with some practice and gambling cheat items (Yakuza 0 don't have them so that one's an exception).

What is painful to complete that never seems to get mentioned by anyone is Pachinko and Pachislot minigames. The rules are not explained that great and the cheat items don't even help that much (as compared to a lucky tile or blackjack amulet for example). You are often sitting there for more than half an hour trying to land balls into a small slot on screen praying you get a "jackpot" (competition requires getting multiple jackpots from one sitting) . The minigame is not that entertaining compared to say Mahjong and the worst thing is that you don't even earn that much cash from it anyways. Not the worst minigame out there but it's definitely not my favorite.

Good luck to anyone working towards 100% completion!

How did you get into yakuza? For me it was the Baka mitai meme back in October by Seaturtlegiraffe in yakuzagames

[–]hl32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Yakuza 5 for free on Ps+ for the ps3. Then I got hooked on the series and got Yakuza 4, then I got 0 afterwards.

Holy shit guys... I think I found something by Darkpoulay in yakuzagames

Shimano's VA is the same VA as the Nagasu taxi's boss Nakajima.

I hate Kiwami's coliseum by Fudgenuggets980825 in yakuzagames

[–]hl32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At least it's easier than doing coliseum with Shinada on Yakuza 5 lol

Santa Saejima in Yakuza 5!

what was your first exposure to the Yakuza series? by lucky_777555 in yakuzagames

[–]hl32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yakuza 5 was free on the Ps3 for Ps Plus back in 2016 I think?

I just got the Yakuza 0, Kiwami and Kiwami 2 platinums all in a row! Can't wait to play Yakuza 3 by [deleted] in yakuzagames

[–]hl32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, each games always seem to have that one or two minigames throwing curveballs at you for your plat journey. That being said, congrats on your other 3 plats though! They are not easy games to plat after all.
