I replaced Gaiden's menu music with the Stranger Than Heaven menu music and it's pretty peak ngl

This isn't officially Stranger Than Heaven's menu music but the way it fits so perfectly in gaiden makes me believe it is

lmk what you think

I've never 100% a single Yakuza game and I'm not sorry.

The minigames suck. Amon isn't even interesting.

Like a Dragon in India

I think they can make a gaiden game with Saejima where he lands in India and shit. He has a tiger tattoo and that sort of fits as well. Random ass scammer substories, new minigames and a new world to explore.

Oc fanart I had a vision about this comic, might have seen some meme similar elsewhere but I don’t remember, could also be a revelation from my life

For someone who already has the OG one, would you recommend Yakuza 0 director's cut?

Ok so here's the thing. I have a Yakuza 0 (OG) on my Xbox Series X, while I have already completed the game and I love the game a lot but there is one problem that ruins the fun of the game.. it hangs a lot.. !!

Therefore I was considering getting a copy of it (either Xbox or PS5).

Now please note that

- I have no problem with the Japanese language (though it's not my native tongue) as I am a student of the language

- The OG gameplay and environment is the best

- initially, I didn't like Shonnen no kaze's Bubble but now it's my favourite song. (I listen to it in a loop).

But again, I would like to leave it to the people who have played both the versions. Is it really worth it to pay $50 for the director's cut or shall I, somehow, manage with the OG one?

Kiryu is now possibly my favourite protagonist of all time

Currently playing my way through Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. I've played through Yakuza Zero, Like A Dragon and now about 70-80% through Infinite Wealth.

Sega did such an amazing job with the memories and reintroduction of old characters that It truely got me to care deeply about the character in such a way that I feel sad that Kiryu is dying and how cool and strong he is and how his reputation has made waves and impacted many peoples lives.

Now that I'm getting older I can't help but want to be perceived as someone of strength, reliability and with good intention just like Kiryu 🔥

( I know it's just a game with fictitious characters but it's hard not to get inspired ya know! )

About yakuza 4 and 5

Everywhere I see, almost all people place yakuza 4 and 5 in the middle tiers. I just don't really get it, cuz these two are probably my fav titles. I mean there is so much to do in both the games, 4 and 5 protagonists, so many different maps, not to mention how good the story of both the games are, infact I think its their strongest point. Gameplay wise also, kiryu and saejima both are just broken af (saejima not so much in 4 but still he is a powerhouse if you use him correctly), akiyama is really fun to play as with his kickboxing style, shinada with his different weapons and tanimura with his martial artist parrying kinda style. I especially love 5 because of the batshit crazy fights (100 tojo clan men, the brawl on the top of the tower in bw them 4) and both the games have amazing soundtracks (recieve and bite you, smile venomously, maximum ill luck, collision of our souls, battle for the dream). So I just wanted an explanation on why people don't think of them as strong entries in the series. And Also how can any sane person in the world not love shinada???

Has there ever been any real life instances where you've actually sang "Baka Mitai" to yourself in your head?

Yeah, for me, it was when I realised that I can't pronounce some of tbe characters' names the correct way cuz my Belfast, Northern Ireland accent makes Japanese tounge-tapping sounds a bitch to say.

Significant price difference between Steam and GOG for the original 7 games.

IMPORTANT NOTE: in the GOG bundle, Yakuza 0 is not the director's cut edition and Kiwami 1 & 2 are not the updated editions with more languages.

Extra: GOG is the only place on pc where you can still buy the original yakuza 3 separately, and it's even 40% off

Ryudo encounter sketch(es)

Just got Kiwami 3 in a sale.

I love Okinawa so much! So far I must say I could have done without the remake (as I have played all the games one after another since last year so memory is still pretty fresh) but it's fun playing nonetheless.

Of course I'm a fan of old Rikiya and I am having trouble liking the new face but that was to be expected.

I just met the Ryudo guys in the game and did the first sketch. I knew I did this scene before from Yakuza 3 and found it but I left out Mikio that time. Could just copy paste him into the older one as I feel they didn't bother changing his face much😅

Livinggirlrepellant's beginner guide to Mahjong

So, Redditor-Chan, you're struggling mahjong, eh? Well, you've come to the right place. In this guide, I'll try to explain the game in the simplest way possible.

Your goal? Create 4 sets + a pair to win.

What is a set? While there are technically the kinds of set, you should only really worry about the first two. The first is three of the exact same tile, while the second is 3 tiles of the same kind in sequential order. For example, 1, 2, 3, or 5,6,7.

If you can't memorize what number is which, use a cheat sheet such as this one.

What is a pair? Two of the exact same tile.

How is the game played? In addition to your starting hand, you get an extra tile every turn. You can either discard it or keep it and instead discard another tile in your hand. That's it. The game automatically organizes your hand for you, (Bamboos are grouped with bamboos, characters are grouped with characters, etc), so you don't need to worry.

Discard dragon and wind tiles unless you have at least two at them at the start.

These are dragon tiles.

These are wind tiles.

Unless you start off with at least two of the same, (For example, two red dragons), just discard them. These tiles are fairly rare compared to the rest.

Always check for riichi. While you're probably wondering "WTF IS RIICHI?!" don't worry. It's just what they call when you're one tile away from winning. Every turn, I suggest clicking square and checking if you have the option to call riichi. If you do and click on it, the game will play itself until you get the tile you need. Calling riichi gives you more points if you win, so it's always good to do.

How do you declare a win? Either tsumo or ron. Tsumo is when you get all the tiles you need, while ron is when you steal the last tile you need from someone else. Click on either of these when they pop up.

Unless you're doing a ron or know what you're doing, do not steal. While you can still win, you cannot declare riichi if you steal. Just ignore pon and all of those other popups unless you're confident in your mahjong skills.

While there are more advanced tips, this is all you really need to know in order to win.
