    He sucks, bring back Darryl Kurylo. For all of less memorable moments he was still miles better than Yong. Yong can't voice act to save his fricking life. It's either bring him back or drop the english dub. Either options are suitable.

      Or, let Sega waste money on dumb shit and just ignore the dub. The dub won't make any sense in Y8 anyway since it's a mix of Japanese and English.

        they'll probably pull a Yakuza 3 where there are characters that speak english that for story reasons everyone just understands. I don't mind that, because I think it's fun to hear Andre Richardson tell Kiryu that they've taken Daigo to the ruff and somehow Kiryu understands that.

      It's fun to at least switch over just to see how it is. I can give the game credit that for the most part it was okay. The main reasons people don't like the casting change though is that they brought the original PS2 voice back for the 7 dub and people liked it only to replace him with a fricking youtuber voice actor.

        Did you miss everything that happened with his CDPR shilling and the subsequent flip flop on that? regardless if you like cyberpunk or not you can ignore his biased coverage. Or the fact that he bans people and removes their comments if they criticize him? Yong is the most dishonest person alive. Not to mention that he's a drama queen and is starving for attention. See this tweet as evidence of that. I'm not even particularly offended if Yong didn't like Trump, but he's also a privileged fricking snob that has an eternal victim complex. Yong is very easy to dislike from numerous different perspectives.

            Because most of them are. Yong doesn't even tolerate ANY criticism of him. He's unbelievably fickle and easy to break if someone so much as says something that doesn't agree with his narrative. He's the king of lies and you can see just how hard Yong cracked down on criticism after the fallout from CDPR's messy launch. Everything to do with him is so heavily curated now and he does not encourage honest discussion with his 'community' after he happened to get a nice amount of subs. That's what parasitical e-celebs like Yong do. They use people to propel them to fame and then once the success status has been reached then they get massive egos and create their own safe spaces. I've had numerous comments taken down on his videos and I'm pretty sure i just got shadow banned at one point.

Look at his background props in his videos, he's a shameless consoomer spending his disposal income on fricking limited edition collector toys that probably are pretty expensive. Would anyone who was truly oppressed and among those who are truly struggling in society be able to waste their income like that instead of focusing on being able to pay the bills and keep the lights on? i don't fricking think so.

        I don't think he's a blatant shill, but more that he's incapable of forming his own opinions on a game, or afraid of backlash of not having the popular opinion. It was so obvious with Cyberpunk. Before release, he said he played it and it was awesome, and that there were some minor bugs. Then on release day when everyone who actually bought the game was saying it was shit, then he felt comfortable saying the game was broken.
        Previewers in general failed consumers on Cyberpunk. Fricking no one said it was broken. The state of the game was a complete shock when leakers were playing it.

    He doesn't sound natural, there's a clear intonation to indicate that's he's making up a voice, which is something he needs to mask if he's a professional VA. Aside from acting, the voice seems unfit, he sounds more like a wizard than a stoic Yakuza man.

          How can you fake Yakuza fans do the dub shaming when you didn't play the first? do you have no fricking shame? you're outing yourself as newbies and you have no problems with it. If you didn't play the game on PS2 then shut your filthy mouths. I have no respect for people who weren't there since the start.

                It's better proof than what the posers who claim to be Yakuza fans have. The fact of the matter of is that you sound like newbies to ever dub shame. It looks out of place and you're so non self-aware about it that that you don't even realize how stupid and new you look. That's like basically admitting that you played the remaster instead of the original.

    What the frick is wrong with this homosexual?
    First, he changed his Twitter banner to have Kiryu in it, then he cosplayed as him, then he used Kiryu as spokesperson for some of the shit he said, now he put it in his bio that he is the English voice actor for Kiryu. Holy frick this homosexual is such an obnoxious narcissistic who lacks any self awareness. I don't know how people can tolerate this.

      I really hope SEGA's regretting hiring this fricking moron but I don't think they'll fire him, even though it would be funny. Do the morons no have anything written in their contract to make sure the voice actors don't start spilling this type of cancer out on the web before the game actually releases or did they just give him the clear to do it? Either way, it's moronic and he makes the whole thing look like ass.

      Dude is super egotistical, probably thinks he'll be able to get away with being shitty about stuff like this. Plus since he has an audience and they announced this stuff early enough, he probably is acting under the assumption that if they publicly remove him this early on, it will cause enough of an uproar for them to regret firing him. He needs an ego check, because it's going to cause more problems for him down the line.

      I think the majority of the actual voices they hired for yakuza 1 were pretty good choices, it just came down to the fact that the people directing the dub didn't put a lot of care into getting the right performance out of them. Every so often the actors would pull something out that is, while still a little awkwardly delivered, is pretty well done for the scene.

        I liked both Majima and Shimano's dubs.

        Although it's a little hard to deny that i don't think of the characters this way anymore. Hamil completely forgets Majima, not hard to understand considering he probably did tons of gigs back then.

          Anonymous

          one thing that also probably made it harder for him to remember was the fact that the example they showed him when they asked him about it was the video that places the dub over Kiwami, so modern graphics would make him assume it's a more recent role rather than a role from 15 years ago.

      Wouldn't make sense since the series have always been working on a shoestring tight AA budget. The production quality only really started stepping up more into 7th to 8th gen and it's still not that big. I mean look at how they always use the same setting, that's not indicative of high budget. Final Fantasy is really the COD of Japan.

I absolutely approve of how the dub was handled and SEGA should have just committed to keeping Kiryu's English VA around. You can just tell what SEGA was really doing with this decision when they referred to Yong as a 'popular youtuber'. It's basically them trying to be hip and 'with the times' at the expense of Yakuza fans.

        Yeah if he announces that he got an acting gig on his YouTube or Twitter, his fans will praise that he's the best voice actor ever, even-though they are only saying that because they are fans of him reading video game articles, not because of his voice acting talent.
        Any genuine criticism he gets, he'll disregard it as a hater who hates him because of his YouTube, he put himself in a giant echo chamber.

            i'm not sure how they're going to dub it considering the fact that the cabaret in gaiden is going to be live-action instead of having 3D models of the girls, and the live-action is obviously going to be recorded originally in Japanese. if they try to dub it, the lines wouldn't fit the lipsync of the girls but yeah, since she speaks English too, she'll just dub herself.

    Not buying anymore games as long as that guy is voicing Kiryu.

    I fricking HATE this casting. At least with 7, Ichiban and the rest of the cast isn't carrying the legacy of Kuroda Takaya as Kiryu, so the English cast was okay. Regardless, any game starring Kiryu should only be played with the JP audio since it's not just the VA that's almost impossible to replicate, but the manner of speaking that's present in JP dramas as well. Dubbing shit with the pauses and all makes the game's presentation sound like amateur hour.

                You can easily emulate the PS3 version, just don't use the mod that lets you play at 60 as it breaks minigames and potentially some combat. The PS4 version is natively 60 and they did some fixes to it specifically when they were making it. There's a MTL patch if you want to try that

            Considering that other RGG games on DE handle it just fine i assume that's mostly bullshit and they just tried the switch to Unreal Engine due to many core members of their team leaving the studio in order to join Nagoshi and his new Netease funded team.
            Having your own inhouse engine with the DE is nice but if you lose most people who developed it and designed it you run into the issue that newer members who replace those old ones might struggle with it. Meanwhile everyone knows how to use UE.

              Just wait for the original to get the translation patch the old team said they were still continuing, use the machine translation patch, or wait for the guys who were gonna shove Kiwami's translation into the original. The original still has a bunch of problems and the story/substories are still fairly mundane for the series, but the experience will be better compared to Kiwami.
