That sound effect not being there was the moment something felt off. I also wish the icon wasn't off in the corner, makes it a bit annoying checking to see of it's there while keeping your eyes on the fight, but that might've also been in the other PS3 titles & I just forgot.
Dad Kiryu and best orphan Taichi is some of my favourite bits in 3. Its a slower pace sure, but it uses it to its advantage most of the time. I just wish certain moves didn't need to be unlocked in every game (like the stomp heat move, the dodge attack etc. those should be unlocked at the start of every game)
Agreed, the fact some of the regular heat moves like stomping a downed enemy has to be unlocked is weird & makes the beginning feel even more limited in terms of what you can do while fighting. 3 really does stand out in that it's the first PS3 era title in the series, so it's in that phase of figuring things out. I'm actually really interested in how 4 will turn out, i.e. what'll be changed & how close to 5 will it be.
Yup, its in Kiwami 2.
WTF?
"I've only been responsible for one of them so far, Yakuza Sunset 3. The one everyone hated."
I mean this has happened to me with big box items but nothing like this.
Mine was delivered like this as well a guy in a uhaul dropped it off it was strange. Mine is in great condition but still odd...
Nope, still saves twice.
"Stark-san, KOI!"
Just dont burn yourself by playing too many games tho, the story and gameplay/sidequest really worth it but if you play too many game, you are going to hit a plateau since the games are structured the same way. I'll say 0 is a masterpiece, Kiwami is basically 0.5, kiwami 2 was a different engine but i didnt get all the praise that yakuza 2 back on ps2 got. Yakuza 3 is an older engine but i kind of like the combat more than kiwami 2 to be honest. Also i like the new sidequest made specially for kiwami and kiwami 2 but you could really see the other sidequests and story being from a different time (made 15+ years ago) if you compared them to Zero for exemple. Haven't played yakuza 4-5-6 but hopefully the sidequest is going to get better with each games.
Thanks for the advice, I'm on pc so I'll rotate some different stuff between the Kiwamis, maybe Judgement later after that if it doesn't mess with the story order (12345 etc)
Nope. Just picked my copy up. Comes with an extra ps3 case
Lucky! Was given my copy months after launch an yet somehow it was the steelbook version >.<
The Standard edition went up for purchase today, though it won't be shipping for a few months: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WNS15YQ/
Cabaret clubs were excluded from the western release of 3 because Sega thought players wouldn't understand it. Clubs were in the game but they couldn't be entered. Thus, 3 in the Remastered Collection is the definitive edition.
I found one pretty quickly by CyricZ. He's written guides for pretty much every Yakuza game: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps3/644272-yakuza-5/faqs/72848
Only stuff cut in PS3 Yakuza was music, and no those were not added back into the PS4 version. Technically the PS3 game let you read untranslated manga in the Poppo Mart but that was cut in all regions for the PS4 no doubt due to licensing.
I believe they re-localized everything if not mostly everything. Can you expand on that? I won't get to play this for a bit but I'm curious. I thought it would be better since it's a lot of the same people that did 0-6/Judgment.
