Had a few hours playing this so thought I'd leave some impressions.
Basic Plot starts out with Kazuma after deciding to turn down being the successor of the Toujou Association, living the quiet life in Okinawa with Haruka and running an orphanage.
He ends up getting pulled back into the Yakuza underworld as he receives a message telling him that
has been shot after refusing to help a mystery man who resembles
take land that Kazumas orphange is built on away from him.
Basically theres two politicians who are in competition for the land, one wants to develop an holiday resort the other one a U.S military base for Nuclear weapons. Obviously theres big money involved so various Yakuza familys are all after a piece also with
out of the picture theres a big power struggle involving various Yakuza, so thats the rough plot so far.
Basic fighting system doesn't seem that different from previous games, I have noticed that they've decided to use the leveling up system again after dropping it in Kenzan didn't realise it was back until a few hours into it so had quite a lot of points to level up with.
The game starts after you bid your fairwells in Tokyo, Kazuma's now in Okinawa running the orphanage, the area is vastly different from the first 2 games, it's basically a seaside sort of town and has a really relaxed vibe to it. I've just took a back seat from the plot at the minute and doing a bit of exploring, the place is just crammed full of shops and bars including a shopping arcade full of items to buy.
Been to a bar, had a few games of darts Shenmue style, although this one takes a bit more skill, aim with left stick and throw with the right. Had a few games of pool, won those, Kazuma does some sort of thing wth his hand when he wins no idea what it's meant to be, looks like "wanker".
Ended up visiting one shop, no idea what it was from the outside, the woman took some cash from me and I ended up in a room with a magazine, quick look through it and there was a song list for what seems like Karaoke but Kazuma uses a tambourine and marraccas as well as singing and clapping, selected a few songs, it plays a bit like parappa, you get rated at the end and theres also a leader board for the best scores. Was getting right into it when a phone rings and your told your times up unless you pay more cash.
So decided to leave and have a walk round when a man outside an hostess bar beckons you over, seems like he wanted me to be on the lookout for girls to work in his bar, he gave me 10000 Yen and off I went, decided to visit a store and Kazuma approached a women and manged to convince her to work there. Now I'm playing a sort of seedier version of a tamagotchi, I've basically got to tart this women up with hairstyles, makeup, dresses and jewellery by raising cash and buying things for her in the hope of her becoming the number one hostess, shes ranked 28th in the bar at the minute but I'll get her there eventually.
Upto Chapter 2 at the minute, fought 2 bosses which I unlocked trophies for, did a bit of fishing which sort of plays like get bass and did a bit of litter picking on the beach and thats about it so far, don't really feel like I've even scratched the surface in this as theres loads to do.
