Hey guys, I am sorry for some rough parts of this video, I was done with editing it pretty much 1 hour before my train ride and did not have much time to double check everything lmao Anyway merry upcoming New Year and may it bring you something good.
@@JimMilton-ej6ziDefinitely. I love these videos. My favorite was at 21:31 when his girlfriend walks into the room and he explains "I have to watch all *40* of these porn videos so I can become friends with the naked man"
I remember when I first played this game blind, I loved the kuze fight, then the second time was cool payback, the third time I was sick of him, then the 4th and 5th time I was so happy he was back, what a guy
Honestly same, I was like: "Wow, how lazy they are just reusing the same guy." By the end of the game I was like: "Please reuse him one more time, I beg."
@@magicschoolbass a bit late to this but you can cancel their stupid unblockable animation windups by hitting them with the charged light or heavy attacks, helped my ass from not being tackled by ryuji constantly in his first encounter.
it was actually a mistranslation that kiryu has never killed anyone, it was actually kiryu has never killed anyone _except_ for when it was in self defense but yeah it's way funnier to just go with the joke that he's never killed anyone ever. it sure is a good thing those rubber bullets kiryu shot at those guys on the highway knocked them out, otherwise they NEVER would have survived their cars and motorcycles crashing and exploding
Haha I remember this and I was like yeah I think those guys died but kiryu didn't do that it was the helicopter hitting something therefore the helicopter was at fault
@@serdelek8608 Oh, yeah that I can guarantee. I have 1 more Yakuza video coming in late January and I want to 100% one more Yakuza game in the future, but I am currently choosing which one to do
Yakuza is one of those games that once you get hooked into it there's no getting out, you'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll suffer from some of the side missions, not that they're hard or anything but there's always that one activity that's teeth pulling.
As someone who’s gotten every yakuza 0 achievement, as frustrating as some of them were, I’d happily do it again because this is some of, if not, the most fun I’ve had playing a video game so I would not hesitate to do it again
There's some really usefull techniques for the cat fights that makes them way easier, I personally didn't have much trouble with them and actually had some fun
Having just finished my first yakuza game this year, you are ABSOLUTELY correct about speaking Japanese randomly. I think the time spent with these games actually trains your ear.
Started playing yakuza 0 in august and can say for certain that i'm now in this for life. Platinumed 0 and kiwami 2 and am almost done with 5 and holy shit does it take a long time to platinum. (124 hours in) But still i can't stop because it has something that makes me come back to play them.
Holy moly how did you platinum both games in 124 hours? I'm 200 hours into Kiwami 2 and the only thing left is mahjong because the rng gods aren't answering my prayers. You must be really good
It took me 200 hours. But I did 100% it twice and got all of majimas weapons, including the hidden ones. Now three years later I finally started Kiwami
This game has driven me nuts, the amount of time that was spent on the competion list made me forget what the game was even about, but the feeling of paying proper respect to such a surpisingly well made game felt correct. Good job on getting into a high rng club, mate.
I still find it amazing that even though Yakuza 0 is the back story of Kiryu and Majima, they never meet at all in the game... Only in the final cutscene do they meet right before the credits roll
When I finished the game (in terms of story, before Premium Adventure) I was at 125:41 with 65% completion. I am going to try running the Cabaret here and then in order to eventually get all the hostess's substories (the only one's I'm missing for M-san) and Kiryu's last Telephone story. But when I saw that completion, I knew I would never 100% the game.
The cabaret club was really worth it to me. The girls are pretty interesting imo. So yea, I think you should complete it. It's pretty easy, it just takes some time. I would honestly pay for a separate cabaret club game like what we have in Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami 2, but more expanded, and with way more story behind it. Maybe even have a multiplayer version of it.
You can do it bro, it was like the first or second game I 100% but it was fucking hard and tedious. I had to learn how to play mahjong and all kinds of shit but it's worth it
@@xXRealXx oh I didn't say it was fun at all, the only fun part was the first play through of the game, 100% completion was pain and boredom. I had to watch a lot of UA-cam videos while playing through mahjong and the cat fight club.
As a fellow Yakuza achievement hunter, I have platinumed most of the games, and by far the worst and most life draining one is Yakuza 5 100% completion its absuards how many things they need you to do.
While there is a lots of stuff to do Yakuza 0 doesn’t really asks you to finish them all It’s clear that this game wants you to have fun in insane ways and I love it for it The side content holy smokes it’s like they put the computer on drugs and themselves and the papers when they came up with these stories And the soundtrack holy fuf the composer should be in a band And goro Majima And kuze and nishiji and Wow a lot of good characters
@@aaggroberlin19 Their comment is very easy to understand. The devs knew not everyone wants to 100% a game, so they provided many ways to fully enjoy the game.
After nearly finishing Yakuza 0, I knew that this was the game that I would never attempt to 100%. I struggled a lot during minigames for Kiryu's business's and side stories (I nearly lost my mind), maybe I'm just not that good but I gave up and salute to you for getting all of them!! I wanted to at least get the climax battles but after getting stuck at one of them I was like "Nope, not doing this again. All and all, 80% achievements done is pretty good for me (I should add the fact that I was lucky to follow a guide early on the game so getting the achievements was very easier this way)
BRO THE BLACK HOLE IS SO TRUEEEE I STARTED PLAYING KIWAMI AND FINISHED FROM KIWAMI 1 THRU YAKUZA 5 IN A LITTLE MORE THAN A MONTH, AND IM FINISHING 0 RN AND THEN IM GONNA PLAY 6 AND THEN 7 AND THRN GAIDEN AND THEN 8 AND THEN DEAD SOULS AND THEN KENZAN AND THEN ISHIN AND JUDGEMENT AND LOST JUDGEMENT AND ALL OF THE ONES TO COMEEEEEEEEEE BEST GAME SERIES EVER
I feel your pain. Yakuza 0 is among the hardest platinum trophy I've gotten. I thought I was gonna get the platinum in 2 weeks...........it took me 2 whole months to get it. I've completed multiple games in my gamer life, but yakuza 0 is easily the game I underestimated the most.
@@magicschoolbass haha its hilarious because I accidentally used my peerless tiles and I had to win the 2 tournaments the old fashioned way, I got super lucky and won the Kamurocho one first try, but overall I went from not knowing anything about mahjong to even memorizing the japanese letters for all the tiles, I absolutely love the game
I spent more time than I'd admit on the hot wheels mini game in both this one and Kiwami. I 100% the completion list on this one, but I never got all of the achievements. Had a blast playing this one and I enjoyed your video talking about it.
I did the goofy mistake of wanting to 100% Yakuza 0 before moving on with Kiwami 1, had to forfeit in the end after so many hours. Left it at like ~90%, gotta come back to it one day like I did for other Yakuzas. (So far 100% Y2, Y4, Y5, Y6 & Y7)
i haven’t gotten around to playing the other games since they’re kinda lengthy and i have them all in my backlog but yakuza 0 had me in a chokehold for days when i first played it
This was..not my first Yakuza game. Technically my first was Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise. I have the Platinum for that game and trust me, FOTNSLP makes Yakuza look like a cakewalk by comparison. The Surgical Precision trophy was PURE, EVIL! Oh and 0 was no slouch either, I LEARNED HOW TO PLAY MAHJONG OUT OF PURE SPITE!!!! But I did it, I got the Platinum and now I've gotten all but the Legendary difficulty trophy for Yakuza 0, Kiwami, Kiwami 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6! Now for me to start my first play though of Like a Dragon and then Ishin.
I started playing Yakuza 0 not even a week ago and now i think i'm going to play through all of them until Y6, then do the rest. I've been caught in the loop, i love it, send help.
I have the plat for Yakuza 0 as well. Learned Mahjong from scratch just for that. Thank God I lucked out with the Catfight Club, so it wasn't that bad. Yakuza Kiwami ended up being an even worse platinum beause of the shooting segment on Legend difficulty. Had to redo the whole Chinese restaurant and the Lau Ka Long boss fight like eight times before I finally made through the chapter.
@@magicschoolbass yo so here’s an update on the run, all that’s left is to finish some mahjong completion list stuff and beat the game on legend and I’ll get the platinum! Spent so much time on these damn mini games but I’m finally seeing the end of the road! Will update when I get trophy. 😅
@@magicschoolbass what's up my guy, sorry I've been busy lately but I finally got the chance to tell you that I got that platinum trophy. Super happy I was able to get this achievement and felt like I had to make you proud. Anyway, I can finally get some good sleep!
This video was recommended to me, and I had to give it a watch because I've gone through the hell that is completing it. And in recent weeks a cousin of mine have been staying up some nights as I've progressed in my completion of Kiwami and he in his for 0. I fucking love the series and intend to complete all the games as the years go by.
Currently replaying 0 and finally working towards getting the platinum. I really wish Fantasy Zone was available from the start though, not for obtaining the completion point for the score, but so that I can go back and 1CC yet another version of the System 16 original lol.
as someone who has just 100%'d this game on both ps5 and xbox (its my favorite game of all time i couldnt resist).... i felt every bit of pain in this video
I came back to this video after finishing 0 (to avoid spoilers) and I loved it. I see you also made one for Yakuza 3 and Gaiden, but im currently on Kiwami 2, so it's gonna be a while before I get to those
Just found this video, as someone who went through the Y0 Platinum, it was definitely an experience. It's at times fun, sometimes boring, othertimes just outright frustrating (see: Climax Battles + JCC + Arcade) but overall I enjoyed the game for all of it. Hell this game even motivated me to actually LEARN Mahjong, even got a set for real life games. One thing I will say though is by the time I got to Legend run, I was so frustrated I just farmed the Zap Gun and Cannon, rocked 10 Zaps and 5 Cannons, then doubled my way to money cap with Shakedown before Zap Gunning my way to victory. Made life so much simpler.
I'm on my way to platinum this game too. Just a bit more. Need to complete some minigame (dem you jcc), climax battle and legendary playthrough. Yeah, another week of pain and suffering.
Took me 7 years but ive gotten every single like a dragon series achievement, so seeing someone go over one of the games painful journey's gives me some fullfillment lol. Its nice to see someone else whos gone in the trenches of this series' completion requirement, and obviously is fun to watch the pain of.
@@magicschoolbassyeah man of course, I have to say your edits in this video were so funny. And that ending was so badass I loved it. AND YES YOUR CABARET GIRLS WERE CUTE lmao
This is why I play those games just to satisfaction, and I take my sweet time too lol. Been playing Kiwami for 3 years already, but finished 0, 7 and Judgment with Lost Judgment half done. I'm all over the place so I salute your laser focused dedication, 60 to 70% complete is more than good enough for me. I rather marathon Dark Souls than learn to play mahjong.
@@magicschoolbass I bet and one day I will do it, just for Yakuza. I do sometimes enjoy vanilla shit like black jack and poker, but never tried shogi and mahjong. One day, but not today : P though you learn it once and it will carry you across every single game in the franchise which is amazing, I think it is in every Yakuza game, right? And sometimes you get storylines attatched to it? That is amazing, but also too much of a good thing, as much as I loved hostess club in 0 I never finished all girls stories : ( I have 130h clocked in 0.
@@TrueKivan It's in every game, yeah. But you don't have to be a master of it to win, because all games except 0 and spin-offs have cheat items that get you a free yakuman
@@magicschoolbass oh yeah good point! Forgot about cheat items. Still gonna at least learn the basics, but you motivated me a little bit - my current assumptions are based on what I heard about it from the community, where the consensus is that people fear it a lot.
@@TrueKivan It's really not that bad, the game just has TOO MANY mechanics that seem overwhelming, but not really neccessary to be understood. You don't have to know how winds work or how point are calculated, just the hand knowledge will suffice
Yakuza 7/LAD is my only platinum of the series so far because Legend difficulty and 100% completion list aren't required lmao Judgment is currently at 94.7% on my KamuroGo, and LJ is at 71%, but daaaaamn is the RNG grinding for those games painful
I 100% Yakuza 7, but it wasn't really watchable as the game was basically just grinding at the late stage, looking into the other games I probably will 100% another Yakuza that I will like the most
I platinum it 2 times. One cause I thought I could play on legend with all unlocked. And the second on legend just to see all my time flew on arcade games, catfights and mahjong
I completed yakuza 0, kiwami 1 and 2 yakuza 5 and 7 and the only two that were fun are yakuza kiwami 1 and yakuza 7 i understand your pain fellow kuze enjoyer
I've been grinding out completion on this game for the last 3 weeks. I did my time in the JCC mines. I wasted hours waiting for Dragon & Tiger rng to screw me over for the umpteenth time. I played Out Run until I got nauseous. I even beat those damned rigged climax battles. Only one final battle remains Mahjong
I began my journey of 100% yakuza 0 recently and the dice game that kept you for 2 hours kept me for like 20 minutes after I guessed right like 10 times in a row
Ahh, this takes me back to when I finally got the platinum for this game. It was such a ball ache. But to be honest, it’s not nearly as bad as yakuza 5 as that took me over 150 hours to get. Now I’m playing LaD Ishin which seems like it’ll be another grind. But with me having the platinum on all titles so far (barring dead souls) I need to get that too.
@@mattmoore6218 Way worse, it is infinitely more boring. The grinding for gear is insane, I will have the video up about it on Friday if you are interested
@@magicschoolbass I can't do the dancing mini game for the life of me. And the battle dungeon is a fucking slog that takes forever and is ruthless with the drops.
I got the 5Mil score in out run once and when I looked at my completion list i didn't get it because I got it while doing the Friendship with the one girl and that broke me completely
@@dr__hennessy5193 Eh, it was just a coincidence that I got it on that attempt, didn't even know there was a completion for it until after like 10 hours of gameplay lol i got it again though so im good
This is why I don't feel bad when I don't platinum these games however I do all the sub stories so theirs fulfillment there and I make sure to eat everywhere and drink everywhere
The editing is so crisp calling the guy a coomer was the thing that cracked me up at 12am apart from that this video was edited so well and I have subbed to the channel
@@magicschoolbass ive heard the same thing and im guessing its because it has a lot of side content well see once i reach that one but for yakuza 3, the remaster broke a lot of minigames so sometimes they dont work as intended. If you just play them for fun its fine but the moment you try to go for a high score the pain begins, pool is the worst offender and i gave up on it cause i was getting very angry lol
@@magicschoolbass honestly good luck I've done 2,3, and 8 personally I can't bring myself to do 4 or 5 bc of their length 0 just isn't as fun to me and 1 and 6 are being considered
Love having your videos on bass, hope you're days are as happy as Everyone's idol Goro in his hit song 🙂 Yakuza 5 was the most painful one for me cause i accidently threw out shinadas shitty pole you gotta upgrade, but Yakuza 3 made me have to learn Mahjong, so this one was a lot of fun to earn the plat 😀
Hmm, in racing games, I've found some of the time trials to be the most painful memories. Then you'll get a souvenir in the player stats, because they'll say that track you were stuck on for days is your favourite track from then on.
How many times are you gonna torture yourself trying to 100% your games? (Also, I love how you alternated between the John “game title here” joke & the actual names for Majima & Kiryu. Speaking of, who’s more fun to play as in Yakuza 0?)
I prefer Majima to Kiryu, he is quicker, had cooler moves and some brutal heat actions. Thug is just amazing. And speaking of torturing, I am doing Ishin 100% rn, and it is tough...
Your Cabaret Girls look great. I seriously got addicted to the Cabaret Mini Game in Yakuza Kiwami 2. I played it for 5 hours straight once. Some of them have Funny Side Quests
personally I'm fine with some achievements locked behind arcade games, but you should have unlimited, or at least effectively unlimited credits. Or it should only require you to beat a stage or two
I had completed the whole gacha weapon thingy after sitting for 7 hours straight with almost everything tge whole game completed but I needed the trophy from the story since I had missed them so I started a new game plus so I could try to get them. I had to save my game quickly because I had to do something so I went to the nearest phone booth and saved not knowing I saved my new game file over my old not creating a new save file. Feels bad man 200+ hours of progress gone because I didn't create a new save file

I feel your pain. Yakuza 0 is among the hardest platinum trophy I've gotten. I thought I was gonna get the platinum in 2 weeks...........it took me 2 whole months to get it. I've completed multiple games in my gamer life, but yakuza 0 is easily the game I underestimated the most.
Honestly same, it took more than 100 hours to get the thing
I did the 100% aswell , the most stupid achievements were the mahjong ones. The arcade games one were very hard but so satisfying to beat
I did mahjong very quickly, but that is maybe becuase I like the game a lot. And this one is not as rigged as Kiwami one
@@magicschoolbass OOOOOOOBOY, Kiwami is easy, Kiwami 2 (Dragon Engine in general) will make you loose your hair.
@@CariocaMEX I beat both mahjongs in Kiwamis, they are both rigged af, because cheat items, everyone gets riichi by the turn 5-6 guaranteed
@@CariocaMEX kiwami 2 mahjong was bad but at least you got cheat items, yakuza 3 mahjong made me go fully insane
@@magicschoolbass haha its hilarious because I accidentally used my peerless tiles and I had to win the 2 tournaments the old fashioned way, I got super lucky and won the Kamurocho one first try, but overall I went from not knowing anything about mahjong to even memorizing the japanese letters for all the tiles, I absolutely love the game
I spent more time than I'd admit on the hot wheels mini game in both this one and Kiwami. I 100% the completion list on this one, but I never got all of the achievements. Had a blast playing this one and I enjoyed your video talking about it.
I did the goofy mistake of wanting to 100% Yakuza 0 before moving on with Kiwami 1, had to forfeit in the end after so many hours. Left it at like ~90%, gotta come back to it one day like I did for other Yakuzas. (So far 100% Y2, Y4, Y5, Y6 & Y7)
Damn, gj brother
Can't remember the last time I genuinely laughed out at a video so much, definitely worth a sub, looking forward to future vids!
Thank you for the kind words
i haven’t gotten around to playing the other games since they’re kinda lengthy and i have them all in my backlog but yakuza 0 had me in a chokehold for days when i first played it
This was..not my first Yakuza game. Technically my first was Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise. I have the Platinum for that game and trust me, FOTNSLP makes Yakuza look like a cakewalk by comparison. The Surgical Precision trophy was PURE, EVIL! Oh and 0 was no slouch either, I LEARNED HOW TO PLAY MAHJONG OUT OF PURE SPITE!!!! But I did it, I got the Platinum and now I've gotten all but the Legendary difficulty trophy for Yakuza 0, Kiwami, Kiwami 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6! Now for me to start my first play though of Like a Dragon and then Ishin.
Good job my dude, I am also looking forward to Ishin and Yakuza 8
I started playing Yakuza 0 not even a week ago and now i think i'm going to play through all of them until Y6, then do the rest.
I've been caught in the loop, i love it, send help.
I have the plat for Yakuza 0 as well. Learned Mahjong from scratch just for that. Thank God I lucked out with the Catfight Club, so it wasn't that bad.
Yakuza Kiwami ended up being an even worse platinum beause of the shooting segment on Legend difficulty. Had to redo the whole Chinese restaurant and the Lau Ka Long boss fight like eight times before I finally made through the chapter.
I learned mahjong from scratch for yakuza 7 as well, know how that feels
This is perfect timing. I just beat this game for the first time not too long ago and will go for the platinum trophy here soon. Great video dude!
Thank you, gl with the plat, you will need a lot of it
@@magicschoolbass yo so here’s an update on the run, all that’s left is to finish some mahjong completion list stuff and beat the game on legend and I’ll get the platinum! Spent so much time on these damn mini games but I’m finally seeing the end of the road! Will update when I get trophy. 😅
@@MNIDakota Nice! Go get it my dude, gl in mahjong
@@magicschoolbass what's up my guy, sorry I've been busy lately but I finally got the chance to tell you that I got that platinum trophy. Super happy I was able to get this achievement and felt like I had to make you proud. Anyway, I can finally get some good sleep!
@@MNIDakota Good job my dude, extremely proud!
I had to plat 9 other yakuza games to become good enough to complete this one. good times, i know mahjong now.
This video was recommended to me, and I had to give it a watch because I've gone through the hell that is completing it. And in recent weeks a cousin of mine have been staying up some nights as I've progressed in my completion of Kiwami and he in his for 0. I fucking love the series and intend to complete all the games as the years go by.
Currently replaying 0 and finally working towards getting the platinum. I really wish Fantasy Zone was available from the start though, not for obtaining the completion point for the score, but so that I can go back and 1CC yet another version of the System 16 original lol.
as someone who has just 100%'d this game on both ps5 and xbox (its my favorite game of all time i couldnt resist).... i felt every bit of pain in this video
I came back to this video after finishing 0 (to avoid spoilers) and I loved it. I see you also made one for Yakuza 3 and Gaiden, but im currently on Kiwami 2, so it's gonna be a while before I get to those
Infinite wealth too, but that doesn't help much lol
@@magicschoolbass oh well, at least I'll be coming back to your channel for quite a while 👍
Guys, I start dressing up as Goro Majima
How cooked are we?
Just found this video, as someone who went through the Y0 Platinum, it was definitely an experience. It's at times fun, sometimes boring, othertimes just outright frustrating (see: Climax Battles + JCC + Arcade) but overall I enjoyed the game for all of it. Hell this game even motivated me to actually LEARN Mahjong, even got a set for real life games. One thing I will say though is by the time I got to Legend run, I was so frustrated I just farmed the Zap Gun and Cannon, rocked 10 Zaps and 5 Cannons, then doubled my way to money cap with Shakedown before Zap Gunning my way to victory. Made life so much simpler.
From a real one to another, I also bought the mahjong set irl
I'm on my way to platinum this game too. Just a bit more. Need to complete some minigame (dem you jcc), climax battle and legendary playthrough. Yeah, another week of pain and suffering.
You got this man, I believe in you
@@magicschoolbass thanks man. My plan is to platinum 0, kiwami and kiwami 2 before ishin come out.
Took me 7 years but ive gotten every single like a dragon series achievement, so seeing someone go over one of the games painful journey's gives me some fullfillment lol. Its nice to see someone else whos gone in the trenches of this series' completion requirement, and obviously is fun to watch the pain of.
Ayy, good job, that is something to be proud of
@magicschoolbass Thank you! Glad I found a channel that discussed this series because man they're rewarding but rough as all hell lol.
2:55 "...I did it for the achievement."
...yes
Love the Dunkey tribute at 4:36!
I am glad someone noticed the reference
I just got 100 percent and all achievements on 0 not too long ago and this video hit home lmao so accurate.
I am glad you liked it
@@magicschoolbassyeah man of course, I have to say your edits in this video were so funny. And that ending was so badass I loved it. AND YES YOUR CABARET GIRLS WERE CUTE lmao
@@spanky310 You commend my girls, you get to live another day, it's that simple m8
This is why I play those games just to satisfaction, and I take my sweet time too lol. Been playing Kiwami for 3 years already, but finished 0, 7 and Judgment with Lost Judgment half done. I'm all over the place so I salute your laser focused dedication, 60 to 70% complete is more than good enough for me. I rather marathon Dark Souls than learn to play mahjong.
Ay, mahjong is fun af if you learn it
@@magicschoolbass I bet and one day I will do it, just for Yakuza. I do sometimes enjoy vanilla shit like black jack and poker, but never tried shogi and mahjong. One day, but not today : P though you learn it once and it will carry you across every single game in the franchise which is amazing, I think it is in every Yakuza game, right? And sometimes you get storylines attatched to it? That is amazing, but also too much of a good thing, as much as I loved hostess club in 0 I never finished all girls stories : ( I have 130h clocked in 0.
@@TrueKivan It's in every game, yeah. But you don't have to be a master of it to win, because all games except 0 and spin-offs have cheat items that get you a free yakuman
@@magicschoolbass oh yeah good point! Forgot about cheat items. Still gonna at least learn the basics, but you motivated me a little bit - my current assumptions are based on what I heard about it from the community, where the consensus is that people fear it a lot.
@@TrueKivan It's really not that bad, the game just has TOO MANY mechanics that seem overwhelming, but not really neccessary to be understood. You don't have to know how winds work or how point are calculated, just the hand knowledge will suffice
Yakuza 7/LAD is my only platinum of the series so far because Legend difficulty and 100% completion list aren't required lmao
Judgment is currently at 94.7% on my KamuroGo, and LJ is at 71%, but daaaaamn is the RNG grinding for those games painful
Some of these mini games really made me spend hours to just pass them, not even trying to get the achievement just passing them!!
22:53 i knew exactly what was coming but that didnt make me love it any less
Well, I wanted to try this challenge and you perfectly explained how crazy it will drive me, thank you.. i guess
The disco minigames at Maharaja were the worst part for me; you can't time the buttons for shit half the time.
6:00 My favorite minigame😍😍😍 The song is a banger after playing it for a while
Mine too, it's so good
Finally i can watch this video after finishing this game
Damn man, I'm glad i came across your channel, love the concert, enjoy the break with fam. Now 100% other yakuza games ;)
I 100% Yakuza 7, but it wasn't really watchable as the game was basically just grinding at the late stage, looking into the other games I probably will 100% another Yakuza that I will like the most
I platinum it 2 times. One cause I thought I could play on legend with all unlocked. And the second on legend just to see all my time flew on arcade games, catfights and mahjong
I just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to platinum this game, and after successfully doing so, I think I found my newest addiction
Nice! Good job my dude, seeing comments like this always makes me feel better
6:43 in his defense it's pretty good
no mention about the goat aka pocket race?
I did not really like it
Persona, Payday, gta, dmc, jojo, yakuza, the more i watch this channel the more I appreciate your culture, keep it up man
I completed yakuza 0, kiwami 1 and 2 yakuza 5 and 7 and the only two that were fun are yakuza kiwami 1 and yakuza 7 i understand your pain fellow kuze enjoyer
I did 7,it's not that bad, although very time consuming. Mad respect for your dedication brother
I've been grinding out completion on this game for the last 3 weeks. I did my time in the JCC mines. I wasted hours waiting for Dragon & Tiger rng to screw me over for the umpteenth time. I played Out Run until I got nauseous. I even beat those damned rigged climax battles.
Only one final battle remains
Mahjong
I have a stream VOD up, I teach some things there, might help
@@magicschoolbass Thanks, I'll check it out!
I began my journey of 100% yakuza 0 recently and the dice game that kept you for 2 hours kept me for like 20 minutes after I guessed right like 10 times in a row
Ahh, this takes me back to when I finally got the platinum for this game. It was such a ball ache. But to be honest, it’s not nearly as bad as yakuza 5 as that took me over 150 hours to get. Now I’m playing LaD Ishin which seems like it’ll be another grind. But with me having the platinum on all titles so far (barring dead souls) I need to get that too.
I got the Ishin plat today, it's horrible
@@magicschoolbass would you rate it as bad as Zero or worse?
@@mattmoore6218 Way worse, it is infinitely more boring. The grinding for gear is insane, I will have the video up about it on Friday if you are interested
@@magicschoolbass I can't do the dancing mini game for the life of me. And the battle dungeon is a fucking slog that takes forever and is ruthless with the drops.
@@narutonutty bruh, not to spoil anything but you will have to clear the last dungeon 80+ times :)
I don’t know if I’m just a natural born Space Harrier master or I got lucky but I got it second time.
I have one thing to do in Yakuza 0, a few in Kiwami, not going back to 3, and I'm already dreading Yakuza 5's plat
I've heard Yakuza 5 is tough, gl
@@magicschoolbass If I never see that Red, Green, and Blue shop again, it'll be too soon
Y’know, maybe the Yakuza plat was the friends we made along the way…
I got the 5Mil score in out run once and when I looked at my completion list i didn't get it because I got it while doing the Friendship with the one girl and that broke me completely
Oh, that hurts to even read m8
That’s why you look up guides before doing things like this. Hope you learned you’re lesson.
@@dr__hennessy5193 Not really guides, the game says that in a popup window, it's just stupid that mechanic works like that in general
@@magicschoolbass I agree however if you google how to get 5 mil score it’ll say you can’t get any of em in the friendship part
@@dr__hennessy5193 Eh, it was just a coincidence that I got it on that attempt, didn't even know there was a completion for it until after like 10 hours of gameplay lol
i got it again though so im good
This is why I don't feel bad when I don't platinum these games however I do all the sub stories so theirs fulfillment there and I make sure to eat everywhere and drink everywhere
The editing is so crisp calling the guy a coomer was the thing that cracked me up at 12am apart from that this video was edited so well and I have subbed to the channel
Thank you for the kind words my dude
"They are optional" *Beats a man on the floor* Relatable Edit; thanks for the heart, i am currently playing though it now for all achievements :,)
Gl, my dude, you need a lot of it
Wasnt the worst platinum I got once I learned how to play Mahjong i just watched anime and chilled doing it. Try Dead Island if you wanna suffer
Really don't want to dust off my Xbox for it
YT algo Recommendation: this video is a certified hood classic
It do be like that doe
The arcade games are a pain
Especially the he man one f that shit
im currently playing yakuza 3 and bro if you are planning to platinum that game as well all i gotta say is... good luck, you will definitely need it
Just finished my normal playthrough of 3, wan't that bad, I heard 5th one is tough as nails to platinum
@@magicschoolbass ive heard the same thing and im guessing its because it has a lot of side content well see once i reach that one but for yakuza 3, the remaster broke a lot of minigames so sometimes they dont work as intended.
If you just play them for fun its fine but the moment you try to go for a high score the pain begins, pool is the worst offender and i gave up on it cause i was getting very angry lol
Okay now 100% yakuza 3 i'd say its the hardest to 100% in terms or frustration 4,5 can be considered by having much MUCH more you have to do
I will do one more , still deciding on which one
@@magicschoolbass honestly good luck I've done 2,3, and 8 personally I can't bring myself to do 4 or 5 bc of their length 0 just isn't as fun to me and 1 and 6 are being considered
@@jacobwooten5137 I did 7 already a way back, wasn't fun
@@magicschoolbass idk why I said 8 lmao I meant 7 my brain has been thinking 8 since the annoucement
@@jacobwooten5137 I also keep calling it 8 in my head, lmao
Love having your videos on bass, hope you're days are as happy as Everyone's idol Goro in his hit song 🙂
Yakuza 5 was the most painful one for me cause i accidently threw out shinadas shitty pole you gotta upgrade, but Yakuza 3 made me have to learn Mahjong, so this one was a lot of fun to earn the plat 😀
Hmm, in racing games, I've found some of the time trials to be the most painful memories. Then you'll get a souvenir in the player stats, because they'll say that track you were stuck on for days is your favourite track from then on.
My favorite part of Y0 is finding all the telephone cards then watching the girls videos on the hub... mhh yeah good times
How many times are you gonna torture yourself trying to 100% your games?
(Also, I love how you alternated between the John “game title here” joke & the actual names for Majima & Kiryu. Speaking of, who’s more fun to play as in Yakuza 0?)
I prefer Majima to Kiryu, he is quicker, had cooler moves and some brutal heat actions. Thug is just amazing.
And speaking of torturing, I am doing Ishin 100% rn, and it is tough...
Your Cabaret Girls look great. I seriously got addicted to the Cabaret Mini Game in Yakuza Kiwami 2. I played it for 5 hours straight once. Some of them have Funny Side Quests
Yeah, it's one of the best minigames in the series
Rumors says the role to become mentally insane and depressed like Joker is to get Cat Scratch Fever achievement
You made me laugh throughout your vid.. I subscribed 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you my dude
personally I'm fine with some achievements locked behind arcade games, but you should have unlimited, or at least effectively unlimited credits. Or it should only require you to beat a stage or two
Love this game so much but lord I couldn’t bring myself to ever 100% Yakuza 0
I had completed the whole gacha weapon thingy after sitting for 7 hours straight with almost everything tge whole game completed but I needed the trophy from the story since I had missed them so I started a new game plus so I could try to get them. I had to save my game quickly because I had to do something so I went to the nearest phone booth and saved not knowing I saved my new game file over my old not creating a new save file. Feels bad man 200+ hours of progress gone because I didn't create a new save file
I had the exact same thing happening to me, but luckily I already had all the achievements
Space harrier was actually the easiest for me. But fantasy zone and outrun hurt me
