That's good to know, thanks. So I didnt buy a faulty copy of the game and my Ps4 pro ain't actin out of the ordinary.
So me being the fuckin idiot that I am, I wanted to buy the game immediately so I jetted to Best Buy after work last night. But I forgot to cancel the preorders on amazon so I bought the game 3 fuckin times now
It's definitely noticably better on Pro. But it's up to you. Both resolutions are still low enough to have noticable aliasing.
Does the pro also reduce the screen tearing like it did in 6? Overall I feel Kiwami 2 is a visual downgrade in comparison.
I went to pick up my copy of this yesterday from Best Buy that I pre-ordered months ago and they didn't have it. Actually no BBY seems to actually have it in stock. Did anyone else have this problem? I have been getting games from BBY for years and never ran into this issue. So pissed because I want that Steelbook.
The sidequests feel like Kiwami, in which it's really obvious what's modern/new stuff, while the rest is pretty tame. I guess substories didn't really start to be really fleshed out until like 4 and some parts of 3. Also the minigames seem really tough, what is going on with that expert golfing?? UFO Catcher is just fucked though, they apparently forgot to add shadows so it's impossible to gauge distances now.
Loving the new engine though, as well as the main story.

might be nitpicking but i tested something: in takes much longer in Kiwami 2 till you enter the fights with the random thugs on the streets than in Yakuza 6. in Kiwami 2 it takes longer till you can beat the enemies, in Yakuza 6 it starts immediately after being "detected".
That is really strange because it doesn´t feel as dynamic as in Yakuza 6. These seconds you are waiting till you enter the fight add up in the longterm...

So I'm having trouble with the golf substory, anyone have tips or guide to clear it? I'm starting to remember why I hated golf in Yakuza games.
You can still turn the camera a little bit using the right stick in UFO catcher, which makes it pretty easy again.
Has anyone found all locker keys in Sotenbori yet? Still missing 4 and I seriously just can't find them. Are some keys only unlockable through substories?
You'll get the recap option in the graveyard at the very beginning of the game.
Are there missable substories in this game? I also had reservations about getting the substory finder as I liked stumbling on them randomly, but do not want to do that at the possibility of missing out some things. Also, can you toggle the substory finder on and off?
They're pretty terrible, and annoyed me when I played the PS2 version of the game as well. They are outdated and too video-gamey, they're only worth it when you can perform the heat action that enables you to slam their object down on their head. Game doesn't seem to allow for that, though.
They used a different song back then, and decided to use a 0 tune this time instead.
There are apparently subtle differences, like his stubble, but it's largely the same model. Kinda disappointing, since there's 10 years between the events of this and 6.
It's definitely awkward, along with no autosave. Very odd stuff.
I'm pretty sure this is a compromise to increase the performance of the game world, which is now a more steady frame rate. It would be pretty awesome if this delay was lessened on the PC release. Though I don't think it's that bothersome either way.
Also I swear there was a delay is Yakuza 6, just a shorter one.
yeah, that could be the reason...yesterday i encountered one of those "nouveau riche" enemies immediately after beating up a group of thugs , the guy stood there for around 6-7seconds till it entered the combat mode. at first i thought it wouldn´t trigger at all. that was the reason for me to go back to Yakuza 6 and compare the times where it definitely felt like it was faster in 6 than in Kiwami 2.
Playing on a regular PS4, are occasional freezes for like 3-4 second while exploring the city normal? Didn't have those in 6.
In the 6-7 hours that I played, I only had that once where I loaded the savegame and it took a few seconds for the dialogue box to come up after pressing X.
But other than that, no problem. Playing on a base PS4.
Go to the first floor, to the back. There should be a golden statue of a bull mounted on the wall (has a dude right next to it who talks about it).
Yes bestbuy fuck up big time. The guy there said it might have been sega who's late on delivering them the game.
I get why they stuck to exactly to the game design of the original for Kiwami 1.
But Kiwami 2 was not a "budget" release in any sense so I really don't know why they carried over the more annoying PS2 remnants too.
Most of the over the top substories were in the original.
UFO catcher is better if you use the one on the very end as it'll switch to a camera angle that shows front to back better but the rest only have the front angle view. You can use the music to judge how far back it is too. The new physics engine does makes the items tip over or act weird more than any previous title but I can usually get one or two items each time.
I desperately need help with the golf substory, God I hope the baseball one isn't this annoying
PS I hate golf so just give me a winning strategy would be appreciated

How do you access that, I've received none of my pre-order items so far
:(
He was in Kiwami 1 and 0 though. Guess he's too hard to render in the Dragon Engine.
Physical buyers are second class citizens. :(
Majima bun is a free item you can get from PS Store, no need to pre-order. All items are retrieved from a package at either Aoi or Serena hideouts.
You guys get a free steelbook! I get some bonuses that are completely non-essential. Will probably wear the comedian outfit for awhile once I beat the game, that's about it.
I'm replaying 3 at the moment, and its funny that while you still get some "scam" stories like in Kiwami they flesh them out more. Making them much more enjoyable. Plus I think its mainly 3 where they really start pushing the boat out with better side stories that are more than just the "scam" template.
Looking at Yakuza 2 (PS2) side story list I noticed a small amount of side stories didn't make it over to Kiwami 2, all of them are basically this standard "scam" formula so I didn't really miss them. The ones we got instead were better I felt (more focused on humour and/or story and not just padding). That said, I still miss Club Adam ;(
I spent far too much time looking through every shelf of the Sotenbori branch. That detail...
She's a lore breaker anyway, that one. Kiryu doesn't learn of Ono Michio until 10 years later!
The moment I start hearing that theme song is the moment that I feel "yep, this is Yakuza"
Yeah. I gotta stop and listen to the song at least once per game. Its like an unwritten rule for me at this point.
Remember, ya'll get 4 weeks of DLC boxes delivered to your couch, so, patience... ;)
