when i first played the game i didnt know there was a way to heal until my friend said so, meaning i had to fight the first kuze without any healing, it felt like i was playing dark souls
I was traumatized by going into the first Kuze fight without any healing items, and felt like I was bashing my head into a wall. After that I just always had a couple staminans on me.
@@OrRaino It wasn't especially about Kuze, it was more "Oh this is what the game is expecting of me, i'm not good enough yet so I am going to buy some healing items" lol. Every other Kuze fight I trounced him only using like a single staminan x.
Little tip for later playthroughs, spamming the same heat action lowers the damage of the heat action, so when you need to spam heat actions use different actions, like shank,katana,bat,umbrella,tonfa
I also think some heat actions do more damage if they use up more heat. For example 2nd bar actions would do more damage with 2 full bars rather than 1.1 bars
@@mmfreshmeat2860 This is correct, I have had moments where I used shank heat action with only 2nd level heat and it did less damage than shank heat actions with full 3rd level heat
Also,kinda obvious but,heat actions do different damage.That means spamming a heat action as soon as you hit 3 bar isnt good idea. For example:brawler grab heat action is trash and thug neck shaker is broken
You guys actually use healing items? This is exactly how I play the Yakuza series and I advise everyone to play like this. It actually teaches you how to play really good.
I use healing items because I'm not trying to get good at Yakuza games. I just naturally suck at Yakuza 0 for some reason, and I lost to the first boss of kiwami 2 because I wasn't used to dragon engine. I might need getting good at the games because trainings, but I usually found a way to make the training easier. tl:dr i don't wanna get good at yakuza games
Hearing that the gun section in Yakuza 0 Legend is easier than Kiwami gives me huge hope and makes me really want to continue my Legend save... Thank you.
@@IceyyCold I managed to do it eventually, there is a tactic but if you screw up it's likely you're just gonna lose. It wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to go through the restaurant every time you lost.
@@IceyyCold I slightly prefer the kiwami one cause I play PC and you can actually use the mouse to aim. 0 gun section felt like playing house of the dead on my PC as a kid but way worse
It changes the game, playing like this. I went through casually spamming heals the first time, then I had to do the climax battles/ultimate battles and that changed my outlook. When I was replaying Y3 for the 3rd time to get the Legendary achievement I mostly gun-cheesed everyone, but certain fights like Kazama and Mine deserved more respect even when they're the 3rd time you're playing the game in quick succession, no weapons or heals allowed when doing those fights.
@@thatonedreamsomeonecrushed1912 can I tell you why im a clown bro. Started yakuza 0 recently first yakuza game ever. Put it on hard cause I'm an idiot. That whole dojima fight into the kuze fight i been trying to do on hard difficulty without healing items and it was the first time i ever played. Took me 6hours replaying the fights to realise I can go buy healing items
That's exactly my personal challenge for my second run of this franchise. Legend mode, no healing items. (Huge thanks to theses "no damage" videos) I call it, the "Dragon" playstyle.
When I play Yakuza I play on Hard with no healing items and no inventory weapons. It's a ton of fun and it makes those long fight sequences so much fun. Although I did have to suck it up and use a healing item for the final boss of 4. Fuck that.
@@janmichaelmempin3696 I hated my life when I was done with that fight. Even after getting fairly decent at those games, it sucks to deal with Jingu without the cheese. Kiwami is just plagued by terrible game design with an over reliance on adding guns to artificially increase difficulty
Yes,Cause at one point,There's one skill that let you taunt enemy in beast style and fully heal urself. And I think,It's quite easy challenge until you reach Nikkyo consortium boat section with that three dudes...
Im not sure if you need to do real estate for this, but i think you can heal yourself in beast style. Just get some heat and do the beast taunt. It heals you quite a bit.
I didn't play on legend. But I was thinking at some point, what if I just fill my inventory with guns and started blasting. I did that and win the most fight without healing.
if you have legend style for majima you can just bait lao gui into getting his hand split in half with the amount of times it gets stabbed. >walk next to a pillar >he's running toward me >press y >third of his health bar gone >trolled.mp4
This sounds dumb but it’s content. Yakuza 0 but you can only use one style every chapter like this the first one you have to only user brawler(tutorial styles don’t count as a lose)
You know something funny about this, the very first time I played this game, I had no idea you could get healing items until I had to do that one "Buy drinks for the homeless people" challenge and I was like "Holy shit, you can have heals on hand?" Keep in mind I had never played a Yakuza game before, and I made the wise decision to start a new save on Hard. To this day, I have no idea how I got as far as I did, which really goes to show how much of a carry heals are.
Lots of room to improve... In particular skill/upgrade-wise, considering not a word was said about your choices/priorities when upgrading the boys. Also training skills, which often include one or two skills that completely change how you play the game. (except Fei Hu arguably, although more weapon variety means more full-power Heat Moves) (once per battle fyi, which is why repeating weapon moves is a literal waste of durability)
I follow my own rules in games too... even tho these things are in the game to help us and there is no problem in using because actually its a part of the game that you should learn to work with too i still have these rules for myself... example i usually have a rule that if i die or fail a certain amount of times in a game i have to restart the hole game the amount changes with the diff of the game of course but usually it keeps close to 3-5 times in "casual diff" games.
In my first time playing Yakuza 0 when I started, I didn't know about healing and I beat the whole game without a single item.. It just feels way better and harder this way.
in the first yakuza game I played I didn’t know there was healing items so everytime I wanted to heal I had to suffer through a fight and then go to a restaurant and pray that no one would attack me
i maxed out all my abilities before going to the final battle, and thus just for the hell of it i also discarded my health items cause the game was too easy (i was playing on hard difficulty) besides pulling my shotgun once or twice when enemies were annoying me with stunlock, it was pretty fun, i fought against shibusawa using only dragon style and clutched my win with a counter, i had 1 pixel of hp left hp items should have been weaker, they ruin a lot of the tension in the fights
The less healing items you use, the better you get at the game, at this point i don't even have to use them. Although I guess this is how it works with most of games of the beat em up/ hack and slash type. Highly recommend
I remember that breaker combo doesn't sugarcoat it and gives no chance to any of the bosses on medium difficulty. Apparently you can't cheese it on legend though
Ngl....this doesn't seem that bad, ive played alotta hard ass portions without healing (cuz i didn't know healing was like just apart of the game i thought it was more of a lil bitch card like summoning in dark souls) what makes this suck is it being on legendary and not having checkpoints but other then that its just like playing one of those old school games where you got one life and gotta get really good, ngl might even try this when i get around to doin all my yakuza legendary runs
man im not good enough for this :( but this is good, makes me wanna try to do a run and count my heals, try healing as little as possible without dying.
Ok, I'll say I am good enough at this....with *Majima*. I don't know if I could do the Kiryu sections without healing, he's just so difficult to fight with for me, even after all this time.
@@CrystalJupiter make sure you’re using all of your tools like rush’s parry, beast’s bear hug and cyclone swing, brawler’s counter hook, dragon’s grab combo chains
@@mr.purple250 i actually don't have dragon yet, i am slowly chipping away at the real estate game in my Premium Adventure while i play other stuff lol
i wish i knew how to buy a shotgun as kiryu before that fight at srena against 20 armed guys ir whatever. i got very frustrated at that even though i had 12 stamiban royales at all times
I'm replaying these through order and the shootout on 0 was really easy but then I did the Kiwami shootout and it kicked my butt a few times. "After he whiffs his 38 combo" lol
Honestly this is how i prefere this type of games to play just no healing head first type of deal. I blame it on DMC games rlly after that i just have my prefrence for things and for me these type of games just seem right with no healing during combat
I dealt with Sewer Kuze mostly with grabs with the Brawler Style grab, usually followed by a heat attack if I had one available. I barely use Beast now, and I got too accustomed to Breakdancing's fast movements and Slugger's swings and found it hard to get used to Kiryu's moveset again (except for the grab, I like the grab)
Ah yes, 'The Dragon of M1985' and 'The Mad Dog of Breakdancing'
These are now their new canonical nicknames to me
when i first played the game i didnt know there was a way to heal until my friend said so, meaning i had to fight the first kuze without any healing, it felt like i was playing dark souls
Lmao same thing happened to me too
Same, except it wasn't only chapter 1, I didn't know I can use healing items till chapter 16 or so.

No joke, this is how I played through Yakuza 0 two years ago minus the weapons part. Yet again, this was the 1st Yakuza game I played.
I was traumatized by going into the first Kuze fight without any healing items, and felt like I was bashing my head into a wall. After that I just always had a couple staminans on me.
@@elijahmcdowell9690 the first kuze fight was similarly to you but after that beating him become as common as Ash beating team rocket.

those two years was just the other yakuza games
i used to play only beast and slugger for the entire game and the only reason i realized that i liked brawler more was cause of kiwami nerfing beast
hitting that kashiwagi QTE on my first try when i got caught off guard is one of my biggest flexes ever
Same here bro. I wonder if I'll manage it on my second time.
Bro same
the Zap Gun does tons of damage to bosses, would've been a lot more useful than the broken M1985
even Slime shotgun does the work
Yeah, as someone who mained that thing to farm Mr. Shakedown I was wondering if he was going to bring it out.
