Should I play this? I wanna play this
yes, it's fantastic. the combat might frustrate you at first, but stick with it until it clicks
>>729883376If you played any of the other 3, then maybe. It's more rigid and strict in what you can and cannot do. But it's still funFuck learning the moves on the weapons - look shit up on the faggotffaqs guide
>>729883376Way of the Samurai is peak Japanese Jank.
>>729883498Nice, I will try it.>>729883685Nope, It'll be my first WotS. Guess that will make it better?>>729883767Yakuza 1 style? I don't mind some jank, I grew up with PS2 anyway
>>729883376hell yeah. in fact, play all of them, you little zoomie faggot. personally, i hated 4, but i'd still suggest it because it seems heavily influenced by the yakuza series and /v/fags love that shit
>>729884064For the most part it will be better2 things to keep in mind:faggotfaqs still have good guides for itYou are going to play the game multiple itmes, like seriously, you can end up starting anew game after like ten minutes or lesshttps://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/536780-way-of-the-samurai/faqsAnd thiedly, use the fucking guides for unlocking new moves. Some of them are annoying as fuck to 'guess' what to do>>7298842154 is my second favorite2 is best imo
>>729884215>play all of them, you little zoomie faggot.kek I guess I gotta do it now>/v/fags love that shitYeah, I really like Yakuza too>>729884327>you can end up starting anew game after like ten minutes or lesswhat? why is that?>use the fucking guides for unlocking new moves. Some of them are annoying as fuck to 'guess' what to dook, I don't usually use guides but I'll keep this in mind. thank you, bro.
>>729884809You've no idea how the fuck the series plays?The first is on a 'constant timer' playstyle, the other 3 only move to the next time period, ie morning to midday' when you trigger a story scene and due to this, you can see a lot of events or only afew eventsSo in theory, you can just start a new game and leave the area and the game ends
play on easy firstthe whole series is made to be played multiple times, building up your power as you go, and the difficulty modes are actually just there to balance the game against your increasing strength. Normal mode feels pretty impossible with the starting crap gear, every enemy will be a health sponge.
>>729883498IIRC the tutorials are pretty good
>>729885112It's not so much a timer and more of a limited amount of actions and events you can trigger per playthrough
2 sucks dick
>>729883376If you want to play it, play it. The series is pretty good and you should play all of them. Peak Japanese jank.
>>729885951No, the first will run more or less non-stopThe 2/3/4th games are on the inkling/story event = advancement unless you're on a job then it stops that which is needed sometimes if you go to town,e tc
>>729886138Only on loading screen transitions, isn't it? Like if you just stand around or take a while to finish a battle it's not like you'll lose time.
>>729886039really? people seem to like 2
>>729886357In one, from what I remember, no, actually. It will still run events in the background. I've never actually tested to see what happens if you fight in an area that would have an event in it long enoguh to happen, ie like the gun dude meeting the guy at night in the town>>7298864962 is really hit or miss. Most people dislike how rigid the story is (at first if you don't use the pause menu)
I only played the last two, but judging by them - this franchise is great. Play it
I only know this from the 2bfp series
>>729883376>
one of the best experimental games out there, wish more devs tried a crack at their calendar/time system, it could be very interesting for a CRPG
>>729891284shoo, go away, id pol brain cancer
>>729891693It's funny since one of the problems with the game is his character was 'an offensive stereptye' in some reviews
I beat it without dying, heh.(I used the save states on PCSX2 and savescummed the hell out of it. I will not replay it.)
>>729891789I don't care about game "journalists"
Ive only ever played 4 and had no idea what the fuck is was doing.
>>729892910I think 4 is the easiest. 2 and 3 are not really worth playing though
>>729886595Nah in one time only progresses if you do certain events, but there's few areas and most of them have an event
it has some of my fav music from JP samurai gameshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkHsJazkObwi find this track (Afterglow Evening) to be similarly blissful to Summer Fields from Fable:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7rWs92CK7kin a Nipponese wayi'd recommend listening to Summer Fields from Fable first, then Afterglow (Evening) from Way of the Samurai 1
>>729893024All I remember is I got boiled alive for the lulz.
>>729893421>i'd recommend listening to Summer Fields from Fable first, then Afterglow (Evening) from Way of the Samurai 1Kino... simply delight...
>>729891912Kek
