The Jews fear the Samurai

Samurai themselves were corrupt in their own time.

Yakuza was the way of keeping serving the emperor when samurais went to become illegal during the sword hunt.
in the end…also this

That's neat.
What's the best entertainment/side activity in Yakuza 0?
Where do I need to go to find this blind bitch in Chapter 15?
I love when the game tells me to "ask around town"

C'mon, samurais were mixed bag, sure romanticized to absurd levels… but c'mon.

Dude half my family is military and I fear the Yakuza.
The one time I went to japan I was stalked by them the entire visit.

What for?

Nuking them twice

I have literally no idea but fucking every time I turn around dude in shades fucking watching me.

Samurais were actually pretty shitty all around bro, sorry to say.

I find it hard to be intimidated by nips, then again, I'm more than four feet tall.

the innocent minority never matters
Samurai were corrupt potatoe headed violent nig nogs with no hounor who always looked out for their own bacon. Everyone knew for centuries they were the problem so interest groups constantly tried to shrink their numbers and ban them outright. When japan imperialism started up everything was romanticized to them being honorable and stoic.

It's easy to understand why they were romanticized in such a way, the proud warrior with a code of honor who wanders the land writing wrongs and shit is very compelling. All cultures romanticize questionable groups in some way or another.

The nips however, don't really have much of an introspective lean, and thus take it to an even further extreme than American outlaws or European knights.

I've seen this claimed alot, are there any books on this?

No more heroes left in man.

Cee-lo and Cho-han are my favorite gambling games. Other than that disco is pretty fun now that I'm starting to get the hang of it.

But you don't know where I need to go to complete chapter 15?

Uh That was when she ran off with Dojima to Roppongi right? I think you just need to take a taxi there unless you have to do something else first that I'm forgetting.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoid_schizophrenia

Somewhat related, but if you ever wanted a genuine copy of the first two yakuza games for a relatively sane price(i.e: less than retail) canadian retailer VGP has them brand new for ~40 bucks in ameridollars.

a taxi?
a fucking taxi?
Yeah she ran off and nobody knows where. Left me on a wild goose chase.

samurai were literally just japanese knights, dude. and i'm not talking the romanticized chivalrous gentleman warriors people think they are, but douchebags who bullied the poor, acted like their shit didn't stink, killing their political enemies by any means necessary, switching allegiances (none of that honorabru ronin seppuku nonsense in real history, son) and more. they were the upper class and the upper class always shits on the lower class

Despite the nature of their business, Yakuza have a lot of that too. Except they cut their own finger off instead of committing sudoku.

...

I thought they only censored Yakuza 3

That's the one they're talking about

click the archive link and tell me the first thing you see

...

Oh yeah I think you have to get the info on where she is first. It shouldn't be too hard though as I forgot who you get the info from since it was just some goons but I don't remember it taking long to find them.

You guys say all that shit like it's a bad thing. They were just flexing their muscles. Expanding their power.

You can do so in an ethical way, but more often than not you will find yourself at odds with someone.

All is the will to power. Life is agario.

thanks. was getting worried.

How much does it cost to ship something over the border?

The cartels let you play vidya down in beanerland?

The Canadian border, dingdong

Apparently it's free right now if you spend 50 bucks.

in games and shit.

Why are they so smart

Also, is that 50 bucks Canadian or 50 bucks American?

goddammit i just want my virtual pussy & ass, i hate this place so much

revolt

In the interview they even talk about how he used to work for Mossad

ORDER UP, SIR!

they process money their own monopoly money so it's probably canibucks, don't know if they actually sweat the penny difference.

Best side activity was running the harem/hostess club.

Also: think. What is the one place of importance in town to Makoto? What place holds value?

Alright, I'll hit the checkout then. Thanks for the heads up.

When in doubt check the Empty Lot. That's the golden rule in this game, how could I forget.

Now that I think about it, when you imagine a game called revolt, you imagine some old civil war scenario, but it's actually a crazy RC-car game. They used the name and nobody can make another game with the same name because of its iconic nature. The absolute madmans.

In the end, I let my friend borrow the game until I get some time for it. Fucker texted me in the middle of work to tell me Yakuza is the shit (this is his first one)

/blog

Dude this store is great

Something I've noticed about the Yakuza series, is that everybody who touches it becomes enamored with it. But a lot of the time people say "Oh, I've heard those games are good" but never check it out for themselves, even on recommendations. What's up with that? Why is it so hard to get people to play them? That said, it seems Yakuza 0 is doing very well in drawing in new fans, which makes me happy.

I stole of Kamurocho Mr. Shakedown's money in his sleep and now he doesn't walk around town anymore, he just sleeps with 0 yen on him and never wakes up. Lazy fucking prick.

Alright scratch that, apparently I woke his fatass up by wearing the mew shoes and running circles around him making meowing sounds for a bit. Didn't think that would actually work.

One of the few things I would change about the game would be this. Mr. Shakedown's money not resetting after you take it from him while he sleeps means the next time you see him, it's all risk, no reward. Really ruins the point.

Well at least yours took to it better than mine did. Work friend overheard me talking about it and went out to buy it because I was talking about how fucking hype the game is. Came back the next day complaining because

normalfags are the fucking worst, Jesus Christ.

I think it's just because the vast majority of people are put off by it's intense Japanese-ness. People are more willing to give JRPGs like Final Fantasy a shot because the high fantasy elements are more easily understood. Having to deal with high volumes of just straight foreign culture puts off a lot of faggot Ameriburgers because they've been memed into believing that the Japanese are too weird to be understood.

How well do guns work on Mr. Shakedown?

Not very, at least not with the standard guns. Haven't tried the golden gun on him.

Fucking hate this bastard.
He's avoidable
But I still hate him

Guns suck because they don't do that much damage, and don't stun him at all. If you want to beat him easy, just bait out his charge attack, run around him, and use square > triangle, repeat. When you get a heat bar, pick up and item or take out a weapon and use a heat action. Kinves work best because you don't have to wait for the equip animation to finish before you can use a heat action, since doing it at that time gives a unique heat action. If you have a Tiger Drop-type counter move unlocked, you can use that when you bait the charge, since it's very easy to time and does a shitload of damage.

I read on gamefaqs that the golden gun is still garbage on him.

i NOTICE THAT SEVERAL WEAPONS SEEM NERFED IN GENERAL FORM WHAT THEY USED TO BE IN PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTS, LIKE THE KATANA NOT HAVING A HEAT ACTION ANYMORE.

No. Kikes love organized crime.

This isn't very accurate. Samurai were well-educated and well-bred, and formed the foundation for Japan's middle class following the meiji restoration. Not much different from knights, really.

italian and japanese crime doesn't love them though

tHE WEAPONS AREN'T NERFED NECESSARILY, THE PROTAGS JUST HAVEN'T LEARNED HOW TO USE THEM PROPERLY YET, U SEE

Yeah, weapons all around are fairly nerfed, bordering on completely useless with Kiryu. Majima can learn several skills to make them better but that's about it.

Jews still happy, they are useful goyim. Both assist shitskins getting into their countries. Assorted africans via mafia; nigerians and koreans via yakuza.

One of the first orders of business for any genuinely nationalist government is to take out organized crime, down to the root, and execute every last one of them (and their families).

Pic related.

Gifs of russian mob killing yakuza in Red Lagoon please?

No. Samurai have their code, Yakuza have theirs. They're not connected, the Yakuza code is not descended from Bushido or any other Samurai code.

So were knights. But they are among the coolest and most disciplined shit we got out of history. So shut the fuck up and enjoy the tales of bravery.

It was samurai who ran the first recorded protection racket though in the early 15th century.

Is the noble yakuza much of a thing outside of the Yakuza series? I always thought he did no kill runs because he's meant to be the hero of that particular story. Also Kiryu is only officially part of the Yakuza in 1 and 0 and that's not for very long.

It's been popularly known as a japanese GTA for a while and since Yakuza 0's caught on a bit it's changed to being the next Sleeping Dogs. I suppose that's better than the former but the series just isn't advertised very well either. It wasn't even on store shelves 2 days after release when I went to get my copy.

Does anyone else find pretty much all of the mini games to be garbage in 0? Like the catfight and racing games are RNG fests and a lot of the minigames have no restart function so you're forced to sit through unskipable dialogue and cutscenes if you lose. The main mini games are okay, but the real estate is really bare bones and just amounts to waiting a set amount of time and coming back.

I don't think racing is RNG. If you max out your car's stats you should do fine if you use your boost at the right time. Also you could just buy the high torque motor from the ebisu pawn shop and you'll be good with that until almost the last track.

The only reason the jews fear the samurai is because the samurai is a better jew than the jew.

It's mostly for cornering and jumping, like I have some of the best stuff in the game, but sometimes i'll go flying off the track for no reason with no chance to recover or i'll end up backwards, other times i'll go around the track with no problems at all.

I usually just slow down by letting go of the stick. Also if you're using a speed battery or a normal battery by the 3rd lap or so you can just go wild with the boosts because you'll have slowed down from a loss of power at that point.

Yeah they allow you some control over what happens in a fight but it's still gambling. And if you're coming from 5 to 0 and don't like old school Sega I can see why you'd think the mini-games in 0 suck. 5 pretty much had the best mini-games and 0 is mostly for the old Sega fans and the gambling and casino games.

That looks like a Chinaman

it is a Chinaman

The dude needs to get his slants in order, or create a samurai merchant. That would be pretty funny.

Kiryu is based on classic old styled Yakuza.. The only unrealistic part of Kiryu is that he's not doing any money schemes at his orphanage and he's getting into fights everywhere, he's unusually kind to foreigners (but that's vidya so whatever).

And his shirt is red.

kek

The Yakuza have a weird backward sense of honor. They feel that if you're dealing with them, you are involved in bad stuff so it's okay if they fuck you over.

They are experts at absolving themselves of blame of the fucked up shit they do.

I'd like to interject here and point out that religion during the times of knights and samurai was serious fucking business nobles didn't just pretend to be devout they actually were faithful and believed in the afterlife this has a huge impact on people's actions. Nobles frequently can and did pay lots of money for whatever they could to give them an edge in purgatory and the Knights Templar were genuine warrior monks with devout nobles and knights in their ranks whom didn't have gold on their person and protected people on their pilgrimage. Knights were very well respectful to fellow followers of their faith and attended church with everyone else and knights themselves unlike the samurai, which is a key difference, became and remained professional warriors generally staying in the low tier of nobility as time went on earning their prestige in battle in times of peace and war even going out and exploring to fight in foreign battles. Samurai became obsolete politicians before gunpowder was even introduced, unlike knights. Then there is the fact that knighthood was given and not inherited unlike being a samurai, and was basically a "upper middle class: dedicated fighter" badge. Knighthood was still a great thing to have if you wanted to move up long past the point when knights were no longer useful on the battlefield.

Once they were close to it. Nobles and knights did whatever the fuck they wanted until they were near their deathbed then as you said, they paid a lot of money for whatever might buy their soul back.

Knights (generally) didn't give a shit about anyone lower in station than them. Men who were considered the flower of knighthood would cheerfully participate in the looting, rape, and murder of entire cities without dirtying their reputation in the slightest because chivalry was for the nobility.

Serfs (not under your lord's service, or the knight's service, or the service of allied whomever), freemen, and slaves. Everyone else that was not someone you could be rude to freely, and again religion is serious fucking business the clergy were completely removed from that structure and a knight wouldn't get away with being a rude asshole in church for long, you show respect to the clergy or else. I'm not talking chivalry here, this is merely the way they're naturally expected to conduct themselves. You act like a rude dick you make your boos look bad.

Everyone participated in the looting and rape. There is nothing inherently wrong with doing it to your enemies, what mattered was if you did it to your own people or not when you're not supposed to.

*other knights' service

I hate the whole RPS thing with cat fight, simply because it feels like the computer is just cheating to beat you every time until it decides not to, so why even bother having it, just make that shit random.

I've played all of them, I guess I can see that 0 was a sort of throw back to yakuza 1 in a lot of ways, but still I find it a bit disappointing because the mini games are almost all excellent in 4 onwards and I have just finished playing ishin which feels like a superior game overall to 0.

Fucking damn it, I knew I was forgetting something.

Knights are at the very bottom rung of nobility, and for all intents and purposes they were not remotely rich enough to be able to do that if they wanted to. They didn't even have land without vassalage, and even if they did their lifestyle was so expensive they weren't really that better off then their servants.

Yakuza are like a mix between the Italian Mafia (protecting a territory and keeping drugs and rapefugees in their designated shitting streets but also polluting it with shit they don't even know of and getting bribes and bribing themselves) and the old Jap Samurais (respect between groups and towards superiors, all out warfare between them can result in utter chaos etc.), they're running a good chunk of the government and for some parts it's for the best as they tend to forget about bureaucracy and for some it's for the worst because it's literally a crime syndicate holding the mallet of the law.

The jews are the samurai.

You don't like the old Sega games, do you? You know that you can unlock two more games thorough side quests, right? There's Outrun, Space Harrier, Hang-On and Fantasy Zone. Plus there is pretty much everything else from all the other Yakuza games, Japanese gambling games, casino games, karaoke, mahjong, shogi, darts, pool, bowling, et cetera. Although I do miss the hot spring table tennis mini-game.

"And here's your dinner, you wonderful tax free peice of shit."
