Topic: Yakuza Kiwami

@KratosMD And I didn't want to mention that the Cabaret Club made a reappearance in case you hadn't reached it. It felt more of a drag this time for me; did they have hostess fatigue in Zero? It's still the asolute easiest way to make money though.

@KratosMD I was pretty livid at the thought of having to learn to play if I wanted to finish all substories (I wouldn't have bothered) so was very pleased to hear it could be beaten that way!

Cabaret Club is still fun and the substories for the main hostesses are good fun. The dates with them go on forever though; I just used a guide for the correct answers and browsed the internet on my laptop in between giving the answers..

@KratosMD I think there’s three parts to it. I played it all after the main story and it’s fine but just feels so lacking compared to the main story. The street boss fights give you nothing but cash and you don’t really need that at all.

The street boss fights in the main game are a bit more interesting but you have to beat so many groups of different enemy types in both locations to get them to trigger

The bouncer missions are the worst thing in the game though as there are a silly number to do to get the trophy and also to get the ability it unlocks to get that trophy too.

after playing yakuza 0 as my first entry in to the franchise i was disappointed that majima wasnt a playable character in kiwami.

definitely enjoying the game tho.

i mostly dont worry abou tthe mini games and side quests because the story is so engrossing. maybe when ive played and finished them all i go back for side quests. (i do like side quests over the mini games too)

@Zorbacles BLASPHEMY! The substories are what make the Yakuza games so fantastically bizarre and enjoyable for me.

I started with Zero as well and I assume the ability to play as Majima was a big selling point for people already into the series. It was strange to already know his combat styles when fighting him in Kiwami though.

There is a short story where you play as Majima in Kiwami 2 but it’s not very substantial.

@KratosMD That's one hell of a punch

here is a video i made of yakuza 0 to emphasize the complete craziness of the different gameplays

@Zorbacles very good video. I must buy Y3 and continue the adventure.
