A bit late, but i got my Yakuza Kiwami platinum today. Finished the story and some side content last year, then took a break to play some other games. Got Yakuza 6 at launch but got sidetracked by other things until a month ago. Enjoyed it a lot, despite the technical issues and lighter content, so when i wrapped that up and was still in the mood, i finally returned to Kiwami. The weapon and gear collectathon was a bit tedious, Legend was very easy on NG+, but that highway chase in Ch. 9, oh man. That was quite something. Almost had it last night after my 5th or 6th attempt, probably needed to hit the truck driver another couple of times, but then i stupidly decided to take cover and let the car take a hit before finishing him off, only the car didn't have enough "health" anymore, so i failed. Decided to quit for the night and try again when i'm well rested, but it still took me another 5 or so tries today. XD
It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that you need to restart the whole chapter to get back to the chase segment. There are two fights against mobs and the boss after that insists on going through 3 stages of the fight even though you already beat him down to 1% in the first stage. Not to mention the 9 (skippable) cutscenes in-between all of that. It doesn't even take
that long (6 minutes once you get it down, in my estimate), but it's annoying and breaks your concentration for the highway part. Anyway, practice makes perfect (or near enough) and it did feel rewarding in the end. Here's my successful attempt, if anyone wants to check it out:

Impeccable timing with Kiwami 2 coming out today, but now i really need a break, so i'll probably play it in a month or so. :D
P.S.: Is it me, or does it sound like Kazuma is saying "Asshole!" every time you use heat eye during the chase? Feels very appropriate for that section.
