GLaD: March 1 & 2

Sometimes after BaD, I'll do my own little thing where I just log any gaming I did during the week and call it Game Log a Day. Almost no one participates (I think coolseltzer did a year or two, but I'm not remembering who else) and it doesn't have the cool history behind it BaD does, but I do it. 

On March 1, I pretty much just finished up some business missions in Yakuza 0

Last night, I did more Yakuza 0 stuff, this time befriending all possible Club Sunshine cabaret hostesses in Sotenbori and finishing the Bacchus substory in Kamarucho. For the hostess befriending thing, you play as Majima and "train" your hostesses to talk with their male clientele, and after five training sessions, the girl falls for Majima without him realizing it. The Bacchus substory is just one of Kiryu's trainers who teaches him the "Brawl" style. 

One thing I'm getting super annoyed with is trying to befriend Ayaka through the Telephone Club minigame. I have the mechanics of the minigame down and pretty much always get to meet up with a girl from the club. You can get "Sakurai," which is a no-show Kiryu keeps thinking might show up this time, another girl who Kiryu finds unattractive but ... well, it's best not to go into it, and then there are three girls you need to "befriend" (the friendship starts at a hotel and then you can ask the women on dates when you go dancing or karaoke singing, etc.) in order to complete substories and I cannot get a hold of the last one. 

What I'm afraid of is it might be a glitch in the game, since I did start the relevant substory ("The Sexy Hook-Up"), but failed to correctly guess which girl was which when I needed to meet her outside the theater. Now, every time I do the minigame I either just go out with one of the other two girls again or get a Sakurai or the molesty one. So I'm not sure what to do and the minigame takes a longass time to complete.

On March 2, I played more Yakuza 0, but I can't remember exactly what substories I completed ... or maybe I'm combining days. Actually, yeah I am cause I completed the Bacchus story last night. Oops.

Then I got to the third chapter in Night in the Woods, which I didn't realize was going to be a horror/supernatural/mystery game of sorts. I finally got to a point in the game where I started relating more to the main character's situation if not her character and I'm excited that there's suddenly more of a story here as well. 

It says "Part 7" because that's whatever episode this YouTuber was on I'm guessing

Finally, I beat the second colossi in Shadow of the Colossus. At first, I was getting really annoyed by not knowing where to go and I forgot a couple of the controls, so finding caves that weren't the cave I was looking for and then not being sure how to climb things cause some frustration. After trying to remember on my own for a bit, I paused after too long to see that you hold on with R2 and was able to climb the colossus ... but then I couldn't find its weak points and realized I needed to switch from arrow to sword in order to get them glowing. 

It took a lot longer than it should have, but I think taking down one colossus a day shouldn't be too bad. 

And that's what I played this week. 

Hope y'all are well.

Yakuza looks really great. They've really pumped up the graphics from the one I saw a while ago.

This one is on PS3/PS4 in Japan and PS4 ONLY in U.S., while the previous games started on PS2, so no surprise there.

I have vague recollections of you doing this before. I'd have a hard time keeping up with a daily log. The only reason I made it through BaD is tha I did as many blogs as I could before hand. It's a cool idea though.

I'm hoping to play Yakuza 0 sometime this year but I still need to get a copy.

Have you played other yakuza games? This was my introduction.

I played Kiwami last year. That was my first Yakuza game and I really liked it.

I like this, a little recap of the games you played. Having the hostesses fall for the character sounds like the dating game that was in GTA San Andreas.

Why do I get the feeling the GTA version wasn't as classy? I could be wrong, but I actually like the optimism and charm of yakuza characters compared to more realistically shitty portrayals in GTA.

Oh it wasn't, but some of it was funny like one girl you had to date, was into big guys so instead of constantly working out, you had to hit the fast food spot and constantly eat.

Haha that's one good thing these series have in common: sense of humor.
