I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Me too, which made me realize how cool the gun style can actually be.
Brawler tho... I'm not finding too much use for it aside from mixing things up a bit.

Yeah, Brawler is very weak. The only advantageous thing for it I've seens so far is that it's the only mode which lets you 'grab' people. Otherwise I've been 80% swords and the rest divided among the others to try and get them leveled up here and there.

FYI guys.
If you want to make the text dialogues proceed at hyper speed, hold down RB/R1 and keep A/X pressed down.
Very helpful if you just want to blaze through the boxes when doing mundane things like the cooking min game etc.

Man. Another Life is addictive as fuck. I've completely abandoned the main quest for the simple life of farming and paying off Haruka's property rent lol.

They’re still sending the confirmation email for Ishin codes a short moment after signing up so if you didn’t get that I’d try a re-sub or a new email.
adamsapple
Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I've signed up via 2 emails, I got the confirmation emails on both which said that they will send the code after the 21st but I haven't gotten the email with the code on either of those emails
I'm afraid if might have been a thing where they only sent codes if you signed up before the games release.

Any guide out there? I just tried it yesterday but too lazy to analyze the stats
Ah yes, the joy of farming mode lol. Try Sakuna: of Rice and Ruin, the farming in that game is really good. It's so good that people used the government website as guide to plant rice

Got the two sword codes finally, but I've already bought a sword that has approx 900 attack so a little late lol.

I'm 30 hours in and I just realized each combat style has it's own battle music.

Yeah the chicken stuff is best to brute force. I started it with 500 ish so in the beginning I did use the stats (you need to factor in the recent results, like 212, the arrow pointing upwards which is their form, and the symbols, having 4 circle symbols is best, double circles means they are clear cut favourite) and save scum. but once you can spread more it becomes easier. Just bet on all outcomes with your favourite being first place, and reload if you lose.

So like yakuza 0.I'm 30 hours in and I just realized each combat style has it's own battle music.

Not really. In Yakuza 0 each style had it's own music, while on Ishin it's almost the same but changing one instrument or two. It's cool, makes the music transition smoother.

This is so good to hear. Man I love this studio and its games....Will deffo pick this up once I've worked through my backlog.

Yes. It's a very solid entry to begin with.

The story doesn't have any connections with the Yakuza at all. It's basically a story about shinsengumi but with Yakuza cast and gameplay. Similar case to Fist of the North Star one

Yes, this is why you need to save scum. But for the most part, the clear cut favourites win the most of the time. I put 300 on all finish orders with the best chicken in first place. Or you place bets on the 2 or even 3 possible winners to even the odds, or skip the race if its absolutely not obvious.
Its also down to their past results on short, mid or long courses.

Man, that bossfight against Okita Soji, pure fanservice bliss. Loved the music he got this time around, the feudal japan theme mixed with the usual Yakuza music style is really cool.

It is for me. I'm having a blast, played 5 hours straight yesterday.
adamsapple

Yes. This is a completely unique story. The only parallel is that the main characters look and sound exactly like the core cast of Yakuza. It's like the cast of Yakuza is putting on a stage play as different people.
You will have somewhat more enjoyment if you know those characters, but it is absolutely not required knowledge.
This is pretty much a stand-alone game. And the combat mechanics are pretty easy yet intuitive to get into.

Honestly, no. I think a good chunk of the charm of this game comes from seeing the Yakuza cast portraying different characters. It's a fan-service spin-off after all.
I'd recommend you start with 0 or Kiwami.

Man crafting is crazy expensive. I exploit the chicken race, buy and sell a dozen of platinum medals. But after just a few crafts I am broke. Now I am sitting on 150k tags lol. I had a 3 win streak without save scum, eventually you know what chicken is most likely going to win. 3x 38k tags.
Apparently there is a bug:
This means, if you bet, exit the race and then immediately start the race you won't use any tags. So if you bet on all chickens, you will always win.
EDIT: Yeah this works. I placed many 300's on Tosan Pride, then pressed on exit race and straight to start race. He lost and I didn't lose any tags. Second time I won 49k with Egg Janaika while not losing any tags from the bet.
This means you don't have to save scum ever. And, if you want guaranteed wins, bet on all. But this is an annoying process as you have to manually select and press left on dozens of rows. But, you will win many tags always. So, choose exit, but then quickly start race. thats all.

Oh man this newsletter exclusive "Waterdrop" sword is basically breaking the game apart.
It sends any enemy flying and incapacitates them after a couple of strikes, even bosses. Way too OP lol.

Took me a while to wrap my head around on why you needed to press Exit until I figured out you get a full refund on all your bets. This shit is beyond broken lol, love it.

Yo, thanks for sharing this.

You are not alone. When I watched the video I was like so yeah, hes betting on all and always wins... nothing to see here. But then I realized it too, your bets get refunded. Yeah its broken but I see prices of 60 ryo for a sword. Might buy an army worth of handy blades or whatever the cheap one is called, and donate first.

Hilarious but awesome and needed glitch given how expensive stuff is.
At first I was like wait this will cost way too much to even exploit, but if you just start with single bets, then put in some qunellas once you have enough, eventually you start racking up the points.

Just a little something, but in my opinion the best way to utilize this chicken race exploit is to use the Triple Exacta only, no need to select every single option in the Dividend results, just select the ones in Tripple Exacta.
1. This will save you a shit ton of time and tapping (and sanity)
2. You get 16~K chips every race. You can easily get 100,000 chips in 5 to 6 minutes earning you tons of Rio any time you need it.

Yeah, the triple pays roughly half but has less than half the boxes to bet. I've actually found if you bet everything but the last column it roughly evens out and is still much faster.

This fucking prize wheel is a scam. I've been spinning and save scumming for half hour and not a single fucking hammer

Took me way too long to realize the dancer song wasnt a badass boss theme, I really struggle not to stay on that mode now...I'm 30 hours in and I just realized each combat style has it's own battle music.

Oh fuck yes, managed to get the legendary flaming sword via crafting thanks to the money farming exploit.

Apparently, the smithing costs a LOT more in this remake than it did in the original.
56 ryo for just ONE sword!? Yeah, no, don't think I'll be platinuming this one, regardless of how much fun the combat is.

What does the fire effect do, exactly?
What do all the elements, do, actually? What does Light do, for instance? Poison seems self-explanatory.
