@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy haha yeah, the Obatarian really makes me laugh for some reason. Libido probably is a bit one note but I just can't get enough of that dance 😂. I did majimas shakedown sidequests in the end but didn't get around to Kiryu's.
She's great for sure. I've completed the Club Tzar storyline today and she somehow made it to being my fifth highest earning girl already and nearly maxed out in level
and that dance of Mr Libido's certainly is something!
I finished the story last night (this morning?). I think I did 46/60 kiryu sidequests and 36/40 majima sidequests maybe. My save was 107 hours before the last mission so I guess about 108/109 for the final save.
I think I am a total convert now though. In 107 hours I went from "meh" to "I can't wait to play Kiwami". I actually ended up loving Kuze in the end. I don't know why. I think all of the old boys in it have really interesting looks and voices which make them quite fascinating to watch once you get into it, people like Kuze, Awano, Shibusawa, Sagawa and Lee. Sera too, they must have based his look on Ken Watanabe. They didn't sound a like but I still looked up to see whether he played him because they looked so similar.
But yeah, wicked game and I'm glad I played it!
Ooh nicely done @ralphdibny! Congrats on beating it! I can't quite recall my sub stories completed so far at the moment but I think Kiryu is a similar high 40's at the very least?
And most the main characters in general are pretty compelling to me so far! I'm quite fond of Kuze and Awano so far myself too alongside Tachibana, Oda, Makoto and our main protagonists.
Still on chapter 11 myself as I just ran straight to Sunshine as soon as I started the chapter and bounced between that, the arcade and the combat trainers. Now that I'm, mostly, done with the Cabaret club I'll probably resume the story!
Edit: I should also add that I am obsessed with the music in this game especially (and surprisingly to myself) the song that plays in the cabaret club dress up bit. It just sounds like an old 90s/00s pop song but I really like it. I don't hear much of it though because Im only looking at the stats as I flick through the menus
Oh my gosh I have listened to that song way too many times to count ralph. I adore it! I posted that track in the video game music thread along with Majima's Slugger theme and Pledge Of Demon Kuze's boss battle theme. I'm a sucker for the full 3 minute version of 24 hr Cinderella too! 😄

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy she is good for the people who love to Talk. I think the attributes for Talk, Skill, Party etc are more important than the ones for Sexy, Cute Beautiful etc so somebody like the Obatarian kills it when she's on duty!
The pace picks up if you start focusing less on the side missions at this point in the game. I'd leave some time free for the final chapter, I think the final cut scenes and credits are about 45-50 minutes 😅
I'm quite embarassed to admit I like that dress up song actually 😅. It's definitely got this early noughties Jennifer Lopez/Mariah Carey vibe to it which kind of makes sense because they were some of the songs that played on the Freeview music channels I used to watch back then (on digital/itv digital whatever it was called before freeview)
Some of the rockier tracks are awesome, not sure what it's called but the one that plays when the agents report in at the weapon maker shop is really good. The kuze theme is really cool too! I definitely need to download this soundtrack at some point!
Anyone played the final season of Telltales Walking Dead? I'm just started playing it now and it's annoying me to the point of profusive swearing. I've just managed to do a part where I have to use all traps for a trophy and now after a quick cutscene I've got 4 more to kill. The game just seems to be really janky about button prompts, I positive I'm pressing the correct buttons but the game seems to be very random about accepting those inputs. And how the 'run' button can be considered running I've no idea.
Oh well, I've let off some steam. Lets see if stun works this time.
I'd leave some time free for the final chapter, I think the final cut scenes and credits are about 45-50 minutes 😅
Wow really @ralphdibny? That's like MGS 4 levels of cutscenes! 😄
I'm a teensy bit embarassed myself at liking the makeover song as it's not exactly my typical listening either (I'm a rock/metal girl first and foremost)... but it's too good. The soundtrack's really invigorated my love of music and I certainly need to download it myself too!
I got to chapter 12 myself yesterday In Yakuza 0.
Dammit. I quite liked Nishitani, especially after the reveal from Billiken that he was some sorta noble demon type of character. Hell Uncle B/Billiken was pretty cool too despite only meeting him for about 5 minutes
... I also hate the disco minigame. Just putting that out there that I'm never getting that last hostess or all of Majima's side stories lol

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I loved nishitani by the end too, even though he was irritating at first. I think that was just me being over protective of majima and makoto though and I didn't want anyone to hurt them lol.
Unless I'm misremembering, you can fail the dance mini games on the hostess dates and when you battle media king and still get the hostess sub story/100% the media king area. It just continues on. I think you only need to win the mini game on the 6 sub stories (3 for majima and 3 for kiryu) to pass them. I think you can fail the Michael Jackson dance off too and still complete that sub story
Ha ha I'm specifically talking about the disco queen @ralphdibny for Majima's set of sidestories. I just can't beat her. She keeps pulling out scores of 6000 for the final dance off against her despite the fact I've put it on easy and can only manage about 4500 points myself.
I'm not great at rhythm games at the best of times but having to move the cursor as well as pushing the buttons to the beat? It's a lost cause for me
You surely can't win against Miracle... That's purposely designed for you to lose right?

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy ohh right a hostess you get from completing that sub story. Sorry I didn't realise there was one due to me not doing it 😅
I used to be ok at guitar hero on medium difficulty and some songs on hard but I am rubbish at most other rhythm games. I've definitely done Dragonforce on GH3 at medium difficulty!
I think youre right, miracle is possibly supposed to be an impossible match. I wonder if he is going to be in future games. I know Spielberg is a much more recognisable director than John Landis but it would've been nice to see a Landis analog in the game seeing as he is the actual director of Thriller
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy@ralphdibny You know that you can increase your score in the disco mini game by taking as long a route as possible between the button prompts?
@Thrillho yeahh I know but it still gets confusing, I take a lot of steps on the slow bits. I'm alright doing it on easy but suck at medium and hard lol. It's all good though, I probably could have practised to do those sub stories but I kind of wanted to move on to a different game
Ghost of Tsushima is brilliant, and I wanna try the FF7 remake,, I have a happy Christmas memory of my brother getting the original PlayStation and FF7
@colonelkilgore about 15 hours in now and starting to enjoy it a lot more, it's as you said when you start to upgrade the bike and skill tree it get a lot more playable. I actually enjoy the play style and the missions are decent. I like how the day and night system works and really makes a difference on how you approach a mission or even just travelling around.
I haven't had any game breaking bugs but a few enemies I've killed just stand there after their dead its more funny than anything.
It's biggest flaw if any is it's characters and story I mean I'm still early on I'm guessing but most of the main character are boring as hell or so un-original and the story writing and cut scenes haven't gripped me at all but I will see it all the way to the end cause I'm actually enjoying playing through it
I played Days Gone around May last year @MaulTsir and similarly to your thoughts so far I found gameplay side of things was pretty decent and loved the bike mechanics in particular... But my biggest gripe was also with the characters and story.
I loathed Deacon as the main protagonist to put it mildly (though his relationship with Sarah was better done then most of stories in big budget titles that feature a dead spouse in my opinion) but I honestly found that the writing generally got worse as it went on with even lazier and generic writing tropes and was just plain bad at times as the story went on.
I did like Boozer though at the very least. He was alright. Kinda wish you played as him rather then grumpy mc angry pants... Didn't really like the supporting cast much at all though.
Was also like ten hours too long to me and I was skipping cutscenes and dialogue left, right and centre just to get it done.
Which is a shame as I was expecting to like it and did think going in that the reviewers were perhaps experiencing some open world burnout (Which really isn't a case for me) and that I'd enjoy it more... Hope you end up enjoying it more then myself though!
@MaulTsir glad your enjoying it more as you’re progressing through the skill-trees etc. I actually think the story starts to pick up a bit the further you progress too... and as @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy mentioned Boozer is cool.
... and I’ve mentioned it before but the end-game content is among the best I’ve played. Wiping out all the hoards is just glorious.
@Onigumo As far as story centered games, it kind of depends on what sort of story you are looking for and how much game you want to have with it. I consider a game’s story to be critical to my enjoyment, but there are so many ways the story can be told. I always think of the Naughty Dog games as being some of the best for storytelling. Really most Sony first party games are very story-centered — Horizon Zero Dawn, Spider-Man, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima.... all excellent stories and also excellent games. Even The Order 1886 has a compelling storyline, even if it doesn’t quite close the deal. Assuming you’ve played all the first party stuff, maybe try out Detroit Become Human. It’s very story driven and exceptionally done. Another is NieR Automata — a really crafty story, quite unique. Not to mention Red Dead Redemption II which has an absolutely outstanding story. If you want more indie-vibe storytelling type game then try out Virginia, Oxenfree, What Remains of Edith Finch, or Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The delivery of the story is a little more esoteric in these, but no less impactful if you’re willing to look for it.
If you want only story also not much gameplay, then there are many Telltale games to try out, probably the best are Wolf Among Us, Tales of the Borderlands, The Walking Dead, and Batman.
BioShock and BioShock Infinite have some of my favorite gaming stories. Another collection from last generation that will also soon have a remasters collection is Mass Effect which has a fabulous story, in my opinion.
If you want a complex and epic story, then how about tackling the Metal Gear Solid franchise. It’s known for its monumental story with a lot of twists and turns.
I’m sure I’ve spouted off a bunch of games you’ve already played, but maybe there is something in there that you’ve not tried yet that would pique your interest.

@Th3solution Thanks, i really want a AAA like the firsty party you said. But those esoteric ones may be good too ( oxenfree is great), maybe i should try them. Thank you
