Playing mahjong in Yakuza to finish the completion list

Can I get a quick rundown on shogi? Looks much more difficult than mahjong

Yeah I usually try to 100% the games I love but some minigames in Yakuza... They're not worth it and Majong/Shogi are in the list.

Just use the perfect tile or whatever the fuck it's called.

You don't need to play it. Google whatever game you're playing and "Shogi challenge 1" and copy the moves verbatim because it's all preset. The only time you technically need to know when to play shogi is Yakuza 2 (The original one) and even there you can pay your way out of that if you lose.

Mahjong is just Rummikub with different tiles. Shogi can be cheesed by finding an online shogi game, setting it on hardest settings and just replicating the yakuza NPCs actions in the online game and then replicating the online game NPCs actions in yakuza.

Is there even a good reward for 100% it or are we talking about a pure autistic satisfaction deal here?

I never touch casinos or mahjong in any entry, ever.

The timing is just slightly earlier than you'd think. Once you get used to it, it's easy.

Doesn't work in a lot of the games if you're going for 100% and using cheat items really just ends up gimping you in the end in most cases since they're one-time only with really annoying caveats like needing to fish the item up or pay a king's ransom for one of them.
>Yakuza 4 requires All Pairs.
>Ishin requires 40k points and I don't recall there being a cheat item.
>0 requires a Full Straight and an Ippatsu along with there not being a cheat item.
>K1 requires a Full Straight and an Ippatsu which the cheat item can't do.
>6 requires multiple full games and there's no Peerless Tile.
>K2 requires you to play multiple full games for the wins even with the three Peerless Tiles.
>Judgment not only requires you to make multiple specific hands for the Wareme chick's friendship but you also need to do a Three Color Straight, an Ippatsu, and win a hand in an Open Riichi five times.

Prior to K2 doing the completion list marks would grant you free equips or gimmick stuff including an infinite Heat item. Post K2 it's mainly satisfaction. K2 gives you a shotgun that burns enemies but it's basically unusable. Kenzan's best weapons are tied to the completion list (All substories and all weapons crafted I think it was) as is Ishin's best sword (All substories).
All the Haruka SSS/EX stuff is a waste of your time and only for satisfaction with the sole exception of 1 HD, K1, and K2 because you're forced into it for the platinum.

That's fair, I'm actually playing K2 right now and was interested if their was a point. I'm was never really gonna 100% them though. Too many games to play in the series for that. Ill probably just settle for the side stories and most of the mini games.

>Judgment not only requires you to make multiple specific hands for the Wareme chick's friendship but you also need to do a Three Color Straight, an Ippatsu, and win a hand in an Open Riichi five times.
Wait, don't fucking tell me I need to learn Mahjong to get to Amon in Judgement. I'm only at chapter 7 right now. Is this actually true?

Kek. I've always just done the shogi challenges for completion requirements.
I still intend to eventually learn the game, but I recall you saying the guy in dead souls plays at a grand master level.

iirc the hands she wants you to do to complete her friendship are pretty damn easy, but you will have to no how to play to achieve them, and she is required to unlock Shin Amon.

When decided to 100% 0, I found that I'm actually not half bad at it. I get it's against dumb AI, but still. What really grinds my gears are the goddamn arcade games. How the hell am I supposed to get a score so ridiculously high on OutRun? Any advice?

Fucking hell, so I actually need to learn Mahjong. Fuck, time to download an app and play it in my downtime.

Don't hit cars or obstacles, kek.

You do but you just have to make some basic hands like Three Color Straight (The same sequence in all three types of tiles so like 1-2-3 but in all three types) and Identical Sequence (The same sequence in the same tile type so like 5-5-6-6-7-7). I think she also wanted a pinfu? You also need to learn Puyo Puyo if you want 100%. You can BS it if you learn how to do the "stack and pray" method.

Yeah, Esper Itou (A completely optional super hard minigame opponent) took my grand master AI somewhere around 200 or 300 moves to beat if I remember right. I just remember that normal AI is like 80ish and he's just so far and above. Haruka in 3 doesn't even get past the 130ish move mark.

It's easier to write an AI that just does the statistically best mahjong move every time than it is to do something fancy and make it cheat.

I've ben waiting for a price drop of the Kaito DLC for Lost Judgment for a long time. Probably a reveal of Yakuza 8 will happen first.

>golf course in 3
It took me like 12 tries to get a Bingo in Yakuza Kiwami 2. You're telling me it gets harder?

>How the hell am I supposed to get a score so ridiculously high on OutRun? Any advice?
Left path only. I like to go right on the third part of the route since I find 1-1-2 easier than 1-1-1 personally. When you're taking corners don't hit the brake but tap the accelerator instead. You can only make one mistake in your entire route. Anything more and you miss the checkpoint.
In my opinion arcade difficulty goes:
Puyo Puyo > Fighting Vipers = Virtual-On > Fist of the North Star > Outrun > Super Hang-On > Space Harrier = Fantasy Zone > Motor Raid.

Bingo golf is the easy version of golf because everything in the course is preset, you just need to know the angles and roughly hit in that ballpark. The timing to hit perfects also feels far more lenient. Proper golf (3, 4, and Dead Souls) requires a -5 in a tournament of I think it was 9 holes and most holes have stupidly strict par times. There's one where in hours of attempts across PS3 3 and PS4 3 I rarely at best got a Birdie and that was basically dumb luck every time. The curves of the green also don't really make much sense so when it comes time to putt you have to hit stronger than you think and in angles you wouldn't really think you have to. It becomes easier after 3 because you can use Kiryu with the best golf club and he has ridiculous accuracy and distance.
