I 100% YAKUZA KIWAMI 2 - My Easiest Completion So Far

[@thechadandthevirgin5823]

Just want to say, Majima construction isn't a front. It's a genuinely legitimate company majima made after he disbanded his family

[@krbraveofficial]

I mean it did kinda start as a front but majima got way to into it and made it a legitimate company

[@jahnhub]

majima uses the company to staff members of his own family, and uses the space in west park to keep purgatory up and running. majima's presumably funding everything, but where's the money from? i'm not saying they don't do legitimate business here and there, but it's definitely introduced as a front to do crime unnoticed. the loud, distracting anthem alone screams "don't pay attention to the other stuff we're doing btw". id argue that they do have a lot more legitimacy in yakuza 3 though

[@ridleyroid9060]

One thing that made me GEEK the FCK OUT about the Majima clan creator was that the ultimate enemies you fight in there are REAL LIFE Pro wrestlers who were BIG, Yakuza 6 has you fighting current pro wrestling stars instead. Their inclusion caught me so off guard and had me screamin, some of my favorites too, like Mutoh (otherwise known as the Great Muta) and Chono. Choshu is amazing too. I am a huge puro geek.

Oh man, can't wait for your reaction to the jarring transition from Kiwami 2 to Yakuza 3

[@vurhn2009]

For me it ain't a bother, I too play from 0 to 6 so yeah as long as there's beat 'em up action I'll play them without problems.

[@plosonen]

I played 0-6 during the winter/spring of '22 and I distinctly remember dreading hopping on 3 since I had heard horror stories of how horrible the switch is. Then I started playing it and had a blast, I never cared much for Kiwami 2's combat anyways. 3 isn't my favourite in the series but it's definitely overly hated. As someone who works with children the story was very sweet for me

[@faboo2001]

@@plosonen I also decided to finally get into the series during the pandemic and did a little research prior to playing the games, so I knew what I was getting into. And after playing through it I totally get why people don't like 3 that much, the game certainly didn't age well even with it being remastered. The pool mini game can go to hell for all I care though! It's the sole reason why I didn't 100% 3...and I think 5 as well? I can't remember if it was also busted in that game. Personally I thought the story dragged a little too long in Okinawa, and this was especially noticeable when I was trying to speed through the game on Legend difficulty. However it's definitely a slog you need to get through since the build-up of Kiryu's connection and relationship with the kids is necessary for pay-off(s) in future games.

[@vurhn2009]

@faboo2001 4 and 5 wasn't as bad but 5 was tedious, though at least in 5 you can use cheat items as much.

[@faboo2001]

@@vurhn2009 It's not that it's tedious, but that the controls for the pool mini game is broken. I think it got fixed in a patch for the Xbox and PC version, but you practically can't accurately shoot the ball in the Playstation version.

[@PS3TySnipe]

Beating the game once on easy (and skipping cutscenes), premium adventure to finish all the completion list, and then finishing with a NG+ to enjoy the game on legend difficulty is usually the easiest method for me

[@majorshepard2]

I watched some your livestream yesterday of yakuza 3. Was very enjoyable. Good video as always, deserves way more views. If you like mahjong now you should play judgement to 100%, only then you will truly know if you love it or hate it

[@mydogeatspuke]

Judgement is one of my absolute favourite games. I was so upset when I got the platinum as it was over. I wasn't ready. Could happily have played it 10 times over. Everything about it is perfect. Even the awful tailing missions. The changes they made in Lost Judgement to make it "better" were awful.

For most games in the series, getting all achievements also entails true 100%, so good luck with that. Yakuza 6 is one that doesn’t need true 100%, but there’s a lot of tedious things like max rank of diving minigame and puyopuyo if you are going for it

#CutSceneSkipping 😂 The Jury Said; It had to be done for the sake of %100

[@BrockMak]

I'm not a 100% Platinum guy, but because I went on to max out every single hostess and got all areas to 20000 fans while Chris Smoove even started his run, this is the only minigame where I'll try and max everyone out again. The "Trouble" part went from "conflict resolution" to "Enforcement of policies", so it is easier to understand.

To comment on the "SmallGames" thing: Yakuza 5 called them "Side Stories" (not to be confused with "Substories" or "Side Cases"). I feel like Cabaret Club and Clan Creator fit that bill pretty well.

Not sure if you play on PC or console and if anyone mentioned it before, but I myself recently went through 100% of Yakuza 2, but the Batting Center and Darts are made way easier, at least it was for me, if you use mouse instead of the controller, if you are playing on PC that is. I know technically it doesn't help you with this game, but if I remember correctly some, if not all, other Yakuza games also have those mini games, so maybe it will be helpful.
