To be fair, that was basically my strategy for Yakuza 0.

It was partly the game designer's fault for making tons of inventory for health replenishments. If it has little inventory slots like in Resident Evil game for example, then maybe they'll learn how to dodge in between attacks.

Izwan Fabstrom Yakuza 6 does have less capacity for healing items and the really good healing items are locked behind you completing the clan fights.

Not just that, on Normal mode, the damage output from many enemies made it seem like Kiryu being punched by lots of 10 years old. Legend should have been the actual hard mode. Actual Legend difficulty should be like ISHIN's legend difficulty.

@@555spank less?? You can hold 10 of each healing item, I could not tell you that holding 20 Staminan royal and Staminan + is just Overkill against Jo Amon

it seems like kiwami 2 is already a really big step up from 6's combat cause they speed it up. I think alot is riding on how ichiban plays. Personally i pray they can at least work styles into things more.

하다보니까 용과 같이 6의 움직임이 괜찮은데, 얼티메이트 히트 모드의 지뢰보정 만큼은 참아줄 수 없더라고요 ㅠ 9장 이상 넘어가면 기하급수적으로 방어력 저하 보정이 생겨서 공격하기 어렵더라고요. 드롭킥은 진짜 용과 같이 사상 최강의 성능이니만큼 봐줍시다

@@mainaHighway ok

@@mainaHighway I totally understand everything

@@mainaHighway jinja?!

Same, great game. Improved upon what 6 did in a lot of ways.

Taking me some time as it's so like wacky at times. Like environment has alot in execution in this game. The combat is really hard for me as I only played Yakuza 0 and 1,2 on ps2

canadmexi you don’t even need to trip them. You don’t have any ground Heat Action ( I was like what the fuck ) so just use Heat Aura for that slow-mo Heat Action.

Kamran Dadashov It still only damages certain enemies so I thought it was a useful tip.

Okay thanks gumshoe

Thanks for the reminder, i'll get to it! ... Eventually.

devilleon7 Cool only 8 subs left until you hit big 10K. Are you excited and how motivated you will be with the future of your content plus are you thinking of doing the childhood games you played like you did with tekken 3 (i believe) just curious?

No idea at all honestly. Maybe when there's not much to upload.

No stagety ever works against that old purple haired monster obertarian

Isn't it just him being older?

Agree, its way too slow.

HopOnTheHype I would agree with that if he didn't play almost the same as he did in kiwani 2

@SweetKicks, nope, just upgrade the combo speed. @Animated Gamer, That's no different than any yakuza game for the most part, 6 was created with a new engine and the combat was remade, kiwami 2 builds upon it even further, just like everything 1 all the way up to kiwami. When I got used to his full combo speed, combat was pretty damn fast. I platinumed 6.

Kiwami 2 is actually improved.

Definitely. Kiwami 2 brings some pretty amazing improvements, there's no reason for me not to cover them.

Kiwami 2's combat is much, much better in many aspects. It takes what 6 brought and improves it further, it changes and adds things that are kind of slight, but at the same time they make all the difference.

Look at Kiwami 2 combat and 6 combat at maxed speed I can safely say combo in Kiwami 2 is even faster but without some downside though

Tovarish Tony i only prefer 0/K gameplay since they feel more arcade like. Maybe it's just the framerate

6's combat is great.

It's not. I hate being stun locked in big battles by fat dudes, and hate how slow boss battles feel now. I miss Rush mode, it made the game feel 10x more epic.

at the same time all the enemies have like one health bar

@Ryder Barton What do you mean?

Personally, I just finished 0 and I prefer 6's combat. While I loved 0's and Kiwami's mechanics (those in line with all the previous entries), I think the new one is great for a 1st iteration. Not to mention, while people praise the combat of 0, it was only in Kiwami that the styles felt truly integrated with style switches (taunts, getting up from dmg etc.). In 0 I also found certain styles ultimately trumped some others; like Kiryu's beast style was honestly absurd with both crazy defensive options and damage output and Majima's breaker style was op once fully upgraded (hell, all of Majima's styles were strong which isn't a bad thing, but I never felt inclined to switch around unless I was fighting Mr Shakedown). Honestly, my only real gripe with 6's combat so far, is that Kiryu doesn't seem to be able to pick people up off the ground, and the general lack of weapons. I really don't miss the 4 styles. In fact, granted this is just my personal taste, I prefer having just one combat style that you can fully explore. I often felt like I had to relearn a character between chapters because each style felt so different from the others (Breaker and Mad dog style had completely different rhythms which always took some getting used to). Tldr; for me, less is sometimes more.

@@lolersthe4th880 Majima's combat carried 0 tbh

yakuza 3 the only game i dont like in the series especially the way the combat is 🤢🤮

@@brandonhasting2960 npc

MarshmallowChairs Kiwami 2 adds weapons and more heat moves.The catch is the annoying stuff you had to do in Yakuza 2 to unlock certain skills is also in Kiwami 2 like the acupuncturist.

*"Kyodai, they turned me into a digestible sustenance, funniest thing I've ever had!"*

@@gentaillahi6153 *OH FUCK*

It's been absent ever since after 5.

No, something to keep in mind is that 6 cut a lot of heat actions.

Indeed, 6 tried to keep returning content at a minimum for once, which is a nice change, but that's why it got bashed to no end, in my opinion. But yet, even when content is recycled, people will still give it shit, it really is an endless cycle. Proof: Kiwami 2. Unfortunately, there's a lot of heat actions in 6 that are very specific, which is why I think many people get the impression it barely has anything new in terms of heat actions.

It's best to play them in release order as you've mentioned to really feel all the enhancements brought with each entry. So if you are able to do that, then definitely go for it and start with original 2.

Alright, I'll see what I can do to play original Y2. Thanks for helping me decide!

Sorry to keep asking question, but now I have a new problem: How would I be able to get a copy of Y2 with english subs but with the Japanese VA? Is this possible with official games or would I need to do emulation? I really don't want to hear the english VAs since they're... unique.

Yakuza 1 is the only game that has English dubs in it, so you're good.

Oh, that's good. Also jesus, why does original Y2 cost so much?! I wasn't expecting this. Edit: Was able to order a used one that is in very good condition, 10 dollars less than the brand new one.

They should all be intact. Licensed music pieces are all in cutscenes, and only those are out.

Yes.

Is it as busted as it usually is

Yes and its more fun to do now because there's ragdolls lol. Its not as OP as in Kiwami 1 though

its not in this game

That thing is useless anyway. Kills the interest of playing.

I remember seeing it in the Japanese version at a vendor.

Kamran Dadashov Not as bad as the ultimate technique that one-shot enemies in Yakuza 2

Substories, Clan Creator and Blue Mountain Coffee in Cafe Alps.

Thanks. I need help again with a Trouble Mission that invovles a fire being ontop of the Senryo Building on Senryo Avenue. I can't seem to find a fire extingusher.

Ahh so that's what fire extinguishers are for. I haven't done much of those, but you find them crammed in tight places like alleyways, try those.

Also, will you be making a tutorial for the new Kiwami 2 that's coming out in August for the improvmentsnto the Dragon Engine and the food in Osaka?

Nope. But it's highly recommended as a means of getting good amounts of EXP.

That's great, because this game rewards that habit with useful EXP now whereas it was mostly heals and very low EXP in previous games, so you'll be right at home.

This comment with that profile pic made me laugh. Nugget, what happened between you and Kiryu!?

You need to beat the game first.

Cheers for the response. :( WHY THEY DO THIS
