Why is Disco such trash?

[Henry]

Who decided this game needs to have no color blind assistance for disco? How am I supposed to ever do anything besides guess and hope I do well in order to know when to press the buttons? Everything blends in together, the timing is completely inconsistent and can change from string to string. It's ridiculous. Who allowed this? This game was phenomenal until I had to set foot in the disco. Literally 0/10 with Disco, 10/10 without it.

disco sucks, yakuza games are known to have rhythm games in the series, however you are lucky as the rhythm games get better as the games go on, yakuza 5 is quite heavy on them but they are 100 times better than disco, believe me i struggled to 100% purely because of that

I honestly don’t mind rhythm games in general. I am NOT good at them, but I can usually get by with a little practice. They’re fun enough, usually. But disco is such a mess sheesh. Like why does Kiryu glow with heat energy in the same color as the A button? I’ve had multiple instances and combos ruined because he flashed with the heat energy and it 100% obscured the box for that current step. Just crazy.

I thankfully managed to complete the disco things I had to do, and am all done with that portion. Here’s hoping I don’t run into those frustrations in the future games. I loved every second of this game EXCEPT disco, and do plan to 100% the series. It’s a phenomenal game but man, the disco really gets under my skin.

it honestly ♥♥♥♥♥ with my head so much, im just not wired for disco mentaly. and as a diebetic man keep focus when low on shugar is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pain. disco is the only thing i raged about in yakuza 0, and if you can find guides on pocket circut disco is just you. overburdened and frustrating. i nearly smashed my notebook when fighting media king but getting the hosteses (disco queen i belive) is a whole other level of pain.

I fully gave on on trying to beat disco king. Just wasn't worth the hassle. That 10% was gladly handed over to not have to disco battle him.

Maybe it was because I did Kiryu's disco side story first, which I believe is harder than Majima's, but getting the disco queen wasn't bad. I actually first-tried all 3 fights, which was VERY surprising to me. I'm going to assume the fact that I had spent literally 4 hours on Kiryu's storyline playing that that practice is what made the difference. If I had done Majima's first, I probably would've ran into a lot more trouble.

I can't even say I really picked up any tips or tricks. Best I had was just really paying attention (I know you said this can be tough for you at times due to diabetes) and pressing the button when the outline kind of got brighter? I don't know how to describe it, but it would change appearance just a little bit, and that seemed to do me well in completing this.

Pocket circuit was an awesome time! I think I used a guide for the final two battles, but otherwise was able to do that one by myself. I really loved the trial and error because you could notice the changes you made. Those last 2 battles were tough though, and I'm glad there are guides for them!

You need a good responsive controller to beat disco. That way you can circle around to get bigger points rather than go straight to the route. My controller sucks so I gave up beating Kazuma Disco King, Disco Queen was easier for me.

This wasn't my experience. I didn't really even try to beat the disco king turf battle, but for Kazuma's final dance substory, I didn't do anything with extra spaces. I went as few as possible to the next beat so I had maximum time to focus on hitting it and creating a combo. This was how I won all mine. I'm sure extra steps help make it easier, though.

It's not a color blindness thing. It's just a UI that's hard as hell to see the timing on regardless.

Disco has banger songs locked behind ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gameplay, probably the second worst minigame grind on this game for 100% (nothing tops that catfight nonsense)

I will not have such blasphemy, on a friday night no less.

If it's about the music - I genuinely like the songs. But the minigame? Nope. It's bad.

[noob4head]

This is hands down the worst minigame I've ever played in a video game—pure frustration and completely garbage.

Disco is the worst rythm game on the series. dancing club on judgement is how they supposed to do dancing related minigame

Dancing was fine. I've played games that had far more dancing games than this one. The hate is likely due to people sucking because they don't get the scoring and only go for streaks.
