What kind of improvements are you referring to? For me it feels like a step back from LJ, but when comparing it with previous Kiryu games like 6 and K2, yes its a huge improvement.
What the fuck? I refuse to believe this post was written in good faith, it is a blatant lie, there's no evolution at all in the visuals over any last Yakuza game that used the latest iteration of the engine.
Best Yakuza entry since 0
People say it's short, but I'm having a blast in Ch.3
I just wish they'd lean in on Joryu more. Instead of relying on "He's Kiryu", Joryu has enough background and supporting cast to make a good Yakuza lead, and 0-6 could just be his prequel
I'm on chapter 2 and I'd say it feels more like a real game than Kaito Files for now. I haven't seen any substories yet though, but I know I'll get side missions.
About to end Chapter 2
PROS >arena/coliseum has royal rumble and tornado tag teams now >pocket circuit is back >agent style is fun >combat is more fluid w/ instant style switching same in LJ >dragon engine
CONS >They fucking lied with the cabaret club "mini game" >live action cabaret customer is weird and eerie as fuck >combat progression focused too much on the new agent style >you have to go to the hideout to accept good lengthy side missions >so far, no "job" where you can get loads of money other than fighting in the arena or be a slaving wagie of akame
that's exactly what i mean, i like dq and classic ff but i hate y7's unpolished turd turn based system, it was so poorly paced i spent 2 weeks playing on and off on a single chapter after encountering a cheap boss painfully grinding only to end up overleveled for the rest of the game
Probably since they didn't fix most of the problems with LaD's battle system. >you can move your characters during battle now! >but enemies will still just randomly move around and cause you to mess up your attacks.
I like how everyone calls him Joryu with this outfit when Joryu is Kiryu in a black suit and sunglasses and the guy is just called Kiryu in the game he looks like this.
It's a canonical bridge between 6 and 8 for Kiryu, not a spin off. How long is determined by how much you enjoy side content, I'm currently 5 hours in partway through chapter 2
Wasn't really feeling the combat at first, a lot of the heat actions lack weight but it gets better. I hate how there's some sort of phasing blur now when objects move in minigames like the mahjong tiles or the koi koi cards, the video for TONIGHT isn't just static images anymore. 8/10 pretty much what you expect from a Yakuza game.
If this game really doesn't have a NG+, that's bringing it down a few points. Your options are so limited at the beginning and you can't learn a single new move until partway through chapter 2. The first chapter did not feel very good but I'm liking it much more now.
Only on chapter 2. Is that tiny portion of Yokohama you go to during chapter 1 seriously the whole map? The only thing of note in that area is the homeless camp, it's missing the bar district, park, that cool central street, batting cages.
Yokohama sucks
Did they remove the dropkick and spinning throw from 6?
The only spinning throw you can access is finishing hold while in extreme heat. They fucked with yakuza style hard to make agent style the more appealing fast crowd control style
It's really good for bosses, the tiger drop is fun as fuck and so are triple finishers, I just don't like how they force you into >THIS is your low damage crowd control style >and THIS is your single target high damage style
thing they've been doing since Judgment.
I mean it's a prequel to Like a Dragon so it'll connect to things happening in that game but it'll also spoil the ending of Yakuza 6 if that matters to you. I'm not that far in but I haven't found any substories yet so I don't know if it'll feel like a full game compared to the rest of the series. Combat seems better than 6 and Kiwami 2 at least
Considering the combat already feels better than Yakuza 6 and Kiwami 2 and I'm only in ch2 with nothing unlocked probably means this game will be kino.
Agent Style is surprisingly good too.
Remember to keep looking up for all the blue items on rooftops bros
Just got the 2nd agent tool. Game's fun. Honestly thought we'd spend more time stuck right under the Daidoji's thumb doing their chores with occasional hints on a way to get out but that really doesn't happen
Jesus christ, she's in this game? She's in the female version of Documental. Fell completely in love with her even though she's obviously an attention whore.
Only on chapter 2. Is that tiny portion of Yokohama you go to during chapter 1 seriously the whole map? The only thing of note in that area is the homeless camp, it's missing the bar district, park, that cool central street, batting cages.
Jesus fucking christ, they picked the worst area of it too. They could have made it the same size and picked any other part of the city and it would have been better.
The game is fun but it really feels like it should have been $30 and not $50 at the moment. I haven't beaten it yet but the Akame stuff seems generic and I haven't run into a single substory
>heard about yakuza and the memes for years >finally give yakuza 0 a try >this shit is oozing style goddamn >combat is pretty fun >but the fucking cutscenes never end >it was a visual novel all along >give up after 13 hours >try the new turn based game >even less gameplay and the story is just bad now
i still want to try the samurai game and the deleted name title
i know i'll drop them as well but the production value is crazy
They're all pretty self contained stories but you obviously it's better to start a story from beginning than anywhere else. 0 is the best in the series
Yeah a little bit in the main story, I don't like Majima too much but I thought he was cool in this one. You can play as him/have him on your team in the arena if you have the dlc that came with pre order or 8 bucks if you didn't pre order.
Anyone found all the Gold Balls yet? So far I've gotten the one from Akame, the guy flexing on the boat, underneath the coliseum statue, pool, and the one from Ebisu Pawn
I just got to the Akame Network thing and am already lv. 3, should I go back to Akame now and continue the story or just clear the Akame Network map while I'm at it?
If you go back to Akame, you'll unlock a mini event and then you can free roam before heading to the Castle. You may as well since you'll probably get a higher Akame level than you think you have.
Ability upgrades require the points from those. The combat improves a ton once you start to get abilities so I would spend time doing that so the rest of the game doesn't suck as much as chapter 1.
Cheers.
you think I'll be able to beat it in 2 weeks?
It's only 5 chapters and should be like 20-30 hours if you do all content, I think. So yeah.

>The prologue clearly shows that it was Kiryu that requested to be kept prisoner by Daidoji faction >But in the rest of the game, other characters and sometime even Kiryu himself act like Daidoji forces that option on Kiryu

Because I finished all the stories, the game was easy enough that I couldn't eat all the foods, the minigames were alright and you can't drink more than 2-3 times even in Y4 because "LOL, annoying controller rumble every 4 seconds if you drink alcohol".
Give me more opportunities to eat food, remove the rumble of drinking, improve the games (which they are very improved in Y4) and I will finish them with more than 60%.

Ye I'm a bit surprised a lot of people seem to dislike the hunting.
The remote mountain village and hunting on that frozen mountain trail was super comfy.
but that's what their clients want dude.
Despite being one of the most hypocritical people on Earth, the Japanese are somehow weak for women overreacting like retards pretending they have this effect on them
Pls how do I play table tennis? I feel that the stick doesn't do much and also don't understand how I hit too hard beyond the table.
Also golf. Does the wind indicator makes any difference? I feel it is a troll feature that makes no difference.
Depends, how much do you crave another Yakuza 0?
It's a morsel, probably wait for a sale, but if you are craving a Yakuza fix, this is the best we got. Judgement doesn't even come close
>This a beat 'em up again
Yes >Previous JRPG a spinoff
No, this game technically is a spinoff, but it's more like a Yakuza 6.5/7.5. Infinite Wealth (Yakuza 8) will be a JRPG again.
No, that was a mainline entry. Main games will be turn based going forward, this is just an extra (but not a spinoff, because it's fully embedded in the main storyline).

6 >Haruka got preggo, gets in an accident, Kiryu takes care of his girlfriend's daughter's kid, something something WW2, government figures, Kiryu does a repeat of Yakuza 4 and 5's ending
7 >funny man with bad hair makes friends with people in Yokohama because his old Yakuza boss betrayed him, gets strung into conspiracy involving counterfeits something something something government big politicians kyodai betrayal sad ending but he's happy and moves on
it has every mini game from every previous game. except a couple arcade games missing. Virtual fighter 5 and Kamarucho of the dead are not here. at least havent seen them.
Should I play 7 before this? I left the game in chapter 3 because they didn't let me play and I was tired of watching cutscenes with Ichiban being a loser.
Anyway when does the game start?
I just started it, but was Kiryu's fake death plan really just staying confined in a temple for the rest of his life? Not changing his appearance or going to South America or something like that?
Spidey cumshot is great for crowds, you can YEET a mf out of the way while you're rushing someone else or stun them, then switch to Yakuza for the boss.
Ngl, that hostess slop is killing my interest in this game HARD. Even if it's optional, it doesn't sit well with me. I might pick it up when it goes on sale a year or two from now.
I liked the gravure videos in 0 because the girls actually look good. Not gonna bother with that fat meme vtuber kson, hoe-boive is shit and vtubers are shit.
Yakuza is one of the most overrated game series ever.
RGG is like Ubisoft but Japan
Yakuza 0 has bad gameplay and bad story
Yakuza Like a Dragon has unbalanced and broken combat system
Kiryu is not a gigachad, Kiryu is incels fan favorite.
It's understandable that negative T-level feminine penis males such as yourself would feel scared and confused by an alpha manly man series like Yakuza. Perhaps BG3 would be more to your liking?
>Perfecting my auditions
Damn, that shit really got to him huh? This just comes off as him trying to convince himself more than anything. Kinda feel bad for the guy ngl.
Was he even a popular VTuber prior to being cast? There's no way they even had auditions with a wide cast of people and decided "Yep, this guy is definitely the one".
I think he has alright viewership, but the simple fact is all Yong does is just spit out headlines and barely even gives his opinion. People just go to him because he has been around for so long.
Yong literally got the role because he is Asian.
What's with theseretard gaming companies and giving a mandate of "They have to be the skin color of the role"? Even then, they still manage to pick the most horrendous ones. (See: Ada in RE4 Remake). It's ridiculous.
It's the new hot thing to get easy diversity points, but it is totally fine that Blacks can voice every ethnicity because they gotta get the Black VAs into the industry because they're entitled to it.
I think Capcom learned their lesson with the reaction to Ada, they kept that person for Separate Ways, but Street Fighter 6 didn't cave and go that route, keeping mostly the same actors they've always had.
I don't think it's really that humble, and it comes off as arrogant. Saying you've "earned" something is more acceptable in the case that you absolutely tried your hardest and were able to successfully pull it off. In this case, YongYea is saying he "earned" the role by just being born Asian and not being in a union, and he's barely trying since he can't even hit notes in a song or sound like a 55 year old man who smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day and drank half the world's alcohol supply.
I don't even know how Yong can say he earned it. If you look at the stuff he has voiced in it's all very minor roles and then he really only became active again in 2019 with it all being more minor roles.
The biggest roles he had are Pucci and Kiryu.
I get that the ego probably went to his head because Kiryu is his first protagonist role, but tweeting something like that just makes you look like an arrogant fuck.
>Eng voice of Kiryu in his title >Loud minority >Perfecting my Audition >Retard analogy >Mole picture
I always hated him and i know the 'Not on release' will nag him more than anything in the world.
Justice!
I hate how all these recent games have amazing soundtrack yet you can barely hear the OST even with in game volume max. WHY DO DEVELOPERS KEEP DOING THIS? let me listen to the bgm you fucking fags.
Is it just me, or are the enemies in this game a lot more aggressive than the standard dragon engine fare, particularly on hard mode?
I'm having a hell of a time getting a full combo out without three naggers giving me a haymaker all at once.
yea the hardest mode is a good challenge I'm feeling. although I do wish like a dragon games ceased with the buy 1000 healing items and pause to use them anytime.
bros I am actually luvin' this game a lot more than I initially thought. maybe because I found ishin to be pure shit and my expectations for this one was somewhat low. either way, having a grand time.
8 is the one with Spikeout.
This game adds in Fighter Vipers 2 and Daytona 2, as well as Motor Raid and Sonic the Fighters if you don't count the Judgment games.
It's weird how this seems to be the first game since Kiwami 2 to not have VF5.
>Spent my money on upgrading Akame shop before progressing the story >Finally done all patrolling >Meet the baldy weapon guy >Finally opening all skill path >mfw I realize that I could have unlock tiger drop by this point if i've saved everything
Upgrading the shop isn't too bad at least. If you get 60k Akame points, you can get the one accessory that's basically the War God Talisman with 600 Attack/Defense that regens heat when you're at low HP (and it does so pretty fast too).
the reason for *that* scene of kiryu losing his shit crying is perfectly reasonable now, but i wish they didn't make him do the literal T_T "anime" weeping
it looked cringey in the trailer, but the actual context of the scene is actually good. also it further proves that Taichi and Ayako were the superior children and Haruka sucks
She was going to be good but they regressed her. She slapped Mine without hesitation and didn't trust Hamazaki for a second. She was going places till they lobotomised her for 5.
And Yakuza 3 Haruka was peak. That's the girl whose sick of Kiryu's shit and isn't afraid to tell him. The sort that would assume the mantle of the Dragon and fight to protect her family and keep them together. But nope, she needs to be a mcguffin and all character she has is constantly rewritten to serve that. One of her very first lines is literally "I'm not 'You', I'm Haruka." she's not afraid of shit.
>and didn't trust Hamazaki for a second
she came to regret her words and deeds
Yes, but it doesn't detract from her initial reaction and how it's formed from her own experience. After all, she only knows Hamazaki as the man who nearly killed her Oji-san, and her immediate reaction is to speak her mind and protect the kids. She's her own distinct character here that doesn't just nod her head to whatever someone older is saying like in 5. It's stuff like this that endeared me to her a lot and why I lament that they destroyed her in 5 and 6. She deserved better. Like Akiyama and Saejima.
>English sub >Toward the end of Obatarian substory, there is a woke yakuza >"What two consenting adults do is their business, dont be ageist!" >literally the next scene >Obatarian sexually harassing Kiryu is treated as a funny haha joke
huh
His handler said it wouldn't be much of a consolation, but with the anti-yakuza laws, the Tojo would've been doomed anyway. Kiryu says he's right, it wasn't a consolation, smoothbrain-kun.
He seems like the type of guy to Google his name and the thread popped up so he's trying to direct the narrative before ultimately making a video about the haters
Yakuza 3 at the very latest. All the hostesses were models from Koakuma Ageha magazine.
It's retarded non-fans whining about it anyway. Yakuza has ALWAYS been about what's current in the era it's set in and having Kiryu (or Saejima etc) be confounded by these newfangled toys, scams and technologies.
And to think they pulled copies of Judge Eyes off of store shelves to bury Pierre Taki for a little coke, but preserved this fag all the way to the remaster.
I mean, all Tatsuya did was be a pompous prick who charges like 5 dollars for a glass of water that is put on the table without specifically ordering it. That's not really the same as doing drugs
Bruh I don't even know who this nigga is. Was he the main character? No. Was he so fucking thin skinned he couldn't take an ounce of criticism and consequently created an echo chamber where he obsessively monitored and controlled what was said? I doubt it. Get this goofy ass sounding ching chong ying Yong outta my shit cuh like fr.
Tatsuya Kawagoe. He was a real celebrity chef who was kind of a knobhead, and apparently charged 800 yen / around 5 dollars for a bottle of water in his restaurants. If there's any more controversy I dunno about it, but apparently he fell out of favor in the market almost immediately after the game came out.
>want to play gaiden >no crack >nobody doing free denuvo activation >xbox game pass russian trick has tripled in price
it's over, so over for poorfags.
Is there any point using anyone except Joryu in the coliseum? I tried a few guys and they're all slowass shitters. The boxer host dude just got stunlocked because every single jab gave him a hard knockdown for some reason. The only one I managed to clear a fight with was Kamiyama by just blasting with the cannon, but I still got a bad rank. Do I just need to tardwrangle them through the mob battles until they're strong enough to do the individual battles? Is there even any point to doing that when even then their movesets will obviously be less fun and varied than Joryu's?
wait, so am i woke for wanting to see 2 hot women make out?
She’s still a woketard who wants Kiryu and Majima to buttfuck
2000s-type fujoshi are fine, twitter types who think their yaoi pairings are activism need to go, I have no idea which one this person is and she seems like a literally who so I assume it's her or one of her friends shilling her

I was but I'm gonna just get a controller because it's legit impossible. Why the fuck don't they just use Batman's control scheme or at least let us fucking edit them? Fucking Japan
Why would you play a 3D brawler where positioning is important without analog control?
They don't use Batman's control scheme because the game doesn't just warp you over to the nearest enemy the way Batman does.
Not him but I actually play 0 fully with keyboard. I just keep resetting the camera to face the enemy forward.
Of course nothing beats using the controller, but I was a poorfag back then
They'll say the orphanage stuff in Gaiden was closure, but it's actually all setup for Taichi getting his own spinoff where he's a firefighter getting into similar substory hijinks as Kiryu
>Team Rumble with 10 allies just becomes an incoherent mess of flying bodies, blood everywhere, and a bunch of particle effects until you eventually all gang up on the giant enemy
Holy kino
Better than the main games with their shitty turn based combat. I’ll never play a main Yakuza game again while they have turn based combat. Why are nips so fucking retarded?
I understand it's Like a Dragon in Japan, but it's been Yakuza in the west for well over a decade. So yes, technically they changed the name because a lot of people have no idea what the fuck LaD is.
So what relation does it have to the series being popular in the west now, except that they feel comfortable using the original title now? How does this relate to quality in any way?
With 7 having a new protagonist they probably felt it was a good time to change the title too. They were probably planning on doing this for a while.
Anyway Gaiden is the old genre anyway, so this doesn't apply to the game the thread is about.
> Western title is changed to be more in line with the Japanese title >reeee devs are ruining the game by pandering to the west
Who's the retard here anon
The engine improvements are impressive. Cutscenes look a generation ahead of Y7. Hopefully they stick to the Dragon Engine and keep improving it.
They're going to switch to UE5 because they'll make games outside of nightlife theme eventually. Hell, that's lost judgement and it looks weird.
>UE5
God please no. Ishin was a stutter fest in the city for me
A simple fix for UE5 games: DXVK
i can only imagine this happening again if they remade Kenzan, the new environments in lost judgment's DLC looked pretty good so maybe the engine can do natural environments better in the future
source: your ass
Lost judgment looked great btw
How do you build an engine that isn't good at daytime scenes. I don't understand.
Gaiden looks fine during the day though?
What kind of improvements are you referring to? For me it feels like a step back from LJ, but when comparing it with previous Kiryu games like 6 and K2, yes its a huge improvement.
It unironically looks worse than 6
Not even close.
What the fuck? I refuse to believe this post was written in good faith, it is a blatant lie, there's no evolution at all in the visuals over any last Yakuza game that used the latest iteration of the engine.
Cutscenes feel like they have more budget and the lighting/reflections look nice at night.
They're also on PC day 1, which tends to look better than the day 1 console-only impressions of all the past games.
no matter what i do i will never not notice each character's black abyss inside their mouth

No way compadre is what I say. She’s not obese, but that trashy tattoo isn’t doing her any favors either.
Real question: will it be better than Infinite Wealth?
it has realtime combat so that's already a given
I don't mind turn based combat but 7's was barebones and boring. Every encounter was just spam your strongest skills
that's exactly what i mean, i like dq and classic ff but i hate y7's unpolished turd turn based system, it was so poorly paced i spent 2 weeks playing on and off on a single chapter after encountering a cheap boss painfully grinding only to end up overleveled for the rest of the game
No lol. This was made in 6 months while Infinite Wealth has had 3 years of dev time.
Well see if yong yea its in after everyone shitting english dub
They're not gonna recast when it's 2 months aways.
Best to just make a mod to change Kiryu to Japanese despite English settings
Why do you even care, don't tell me you actually use the Engilsh dubs?
I'm such a mess
I'm lost
Probably since they didn't fix most of the problems with LaD's battle system.
>you can move your characters during battle now!
>but enemies will still just randomly move around and cause you to mess up your attacks.
Yeah
8’s demo showed they didn’t bother fixing any of its issues, and they’re going on about it being the biggest so it’ll likely be padded to fuck
No, Infinite Wealth is turn-based so it's a given it'll be better.
You’ve clearly not played the demo
hard to tell but hawaii is a super interesting setting
god he looks retarded
what were they thinking
what's his name again?
Kazuya Joryu
Taichi Suzuki
That was the guy in 7, you might be confused.
Why he shot abe? was it for that incel pussy? Hideo plan?
chemo kazuma
Dame da ne
pissed off joryu
I like how everyone calls him Joryu with this outfit when Joryu is Kiryu in a black suit and sunglasses and the guy is just called Kiryu in the game he looks like this.
Joryu Blanco
How long is this? I don't even know if it's a spin-off or a game considered to be mainline.
It's a canonical bridge between 6 and 8 for Kiryu, not a spin off. How long is determined by how much you enjoy side content, I'm currently 5 hours in partway through chapter 2
Started downloading before bed last night and Microsoft's servers were slow so I barely got 1 MBPS. Hope it's done when I get home from work.
Is Yagami a fucking cuck
>he thinks Yagami cares about Mifuyu and isn't railing his new 18 year old detective assistant Amasawa
Wasn't really feeling the combat at first, a lot of the heat actions lack weight but it gets better. I hate how there's some sort of phasing blur now when objects move in minigames like the mahjong tiles or the koi koi cards, the video for TONIGHT isn't just static images anymore. 8/10 pretty much what you expect from a Yakuza game.
If this game really doesn't have a NG+, that's bringing it down a few points. Your options are so limited at the beginning and you can't learn a single new move until partway through chapter 2. The first chapter did not feel very good but I'm liking it much more now.
I beat it it has new game plus
Yokohama sucks
The only spinning throw you can access is finishing hold while in extreme heat. They fucked with yakuza style hard to make agent style the more appealing fast crowd control style
Wait nevermind, I know it has premium adventure but I haven't tried to start a new game with old clear data.
so don't bother pimping out yakzua style because it's the nerfed one of this title?
It's really good for bosses, the tiger drop is fun as fuck and so are triple finishers, I just don't like how they force you into
>THIS is your low damage crowd control style
>and THIS is your single target high damage style
thing they've been doing since Judgment.
Nah, Dragon Style is still based. It's just a bit harder to crowd clear with it now. It demolishes bosses though.
I hate Dragon Engine combat so much
It's dogshit. I'm playing LJ now and the abysmal combat along with the braindead school stories are a fucking drag
I'm a casual fan and eyeing with the game.
Is it good? Has it soul? Is it fun? How is the violence?
Please halp
How many other Yakuza games have you played?
I played 2 and 3 a long time ago and Like a Dragon
You really should've at least played 6 and 7 before this game.
I mean it's a prequel to Like a Dragon so it'll connect to things happening in that game but it'll also spoil the ending of Yakuza 6 if that matters to you. I'm not that far in but I haven't found any substories yet so I don't know if it'll feel like a full game compared to the rest of the series. Combat seems better than 6 and Kiwami 2 at least
Considering the combat already feels better than Yakuza 6 and Kiwami 2 and I'm only in ch2 with nothing unlocked probably means this game will be kino.
Agent Style is surprisingly good too.
Where's Don Quixote?
In spain
Gone from the franchise because Sega's deal with them ended (yes, they're a real chain store in Japan if you didn't know already).
How many chapters are there?
Five chapters
Remember to keep looking up for all the blue items on rooftops bros
Just got the 2nd agent tool. Game's fun. Honestly thought we'd spend more time stuck right under the Daidoji's thumb doing their chores with occasional hints on a way to get out but that really doesn't happen
Joryu doesnt get rubber cancer at the end dissapointed hope there is a fukushima dlc epilogue

Is Akame Japanese or Korean?
The actress is from Osaka and is known for her heavy Osaka dialect usage.
She cute. She definitely looks Korean though.
She looks korean, but she's be considered ugly by their standards
that picture looks fake for some reason but thats really sad if its real. shes very pretty on the left
fetal alcohol syndrome bitch
It's called being Asian
where are the signs
i personally don't see it
Jesus christ, she's in this game? She's in the female version of Documental. Fell completely in love with her even though she's obviously an attention whore.
she's a really good voice actress
Shitty fashion
Sa-chan makes me ultra diamonds.
She looks so pretty in 8
I don't like her default outfit in 8 cause they have her tights and I hate tights, I will definitely use another job

Why are people suddenly pretending to care about the hostess minigame?
Because a japanese-american former vtuber with an american body is one of the hostesses.
Only on chapter 2. Is that tiny portion of Yokohama you go to during chapter 1 seriously the whole map? The only thing of note in that area is the homeless camp, it's missing the bar district, park, that cool central street, batting cages.
I thought it was a bit suHispanicious how they basically just shoot you in and out of it in a hurry in that first chapter.
small dlc from small company for $50 please understand
Yeah Yokohama is stripped down
Jesus fucking christ, they picked the worst area of it too. They could have made it the same size and picked any other part of the city and it would have been better.
Did they remove the dropkick and spinning throw from 6?

>higashi’s stuck with a shitty knife moveset
The game is fun but it really feels like it should have been $30 and not $50 at the moment. I haven't beaten it yet but the Akame stuff seems generic and I haven't run into a single substory
Substories are tied to Akame which I honestly prefer more than stumbling across 5 substories on one street while I'm trying get something to eat.
It's day 1 gamepass and runs even with way outdated pc specs (970, i5-4690k, and 16gb ram and it's handling 60fps on medium settings).
....ok but it still should have been cheaper because I like to own my games and not pay Microsoft for goypass

Agent style is so much fun bros
Do you have to play these games in order? Yakuza 0 is only 20 bucks while Like a dragon is 60 so ill wait for a sale for that.
They're all pretty self contained stories but you obviously it's better to start a story from beginning than anywhere else. 0 is the best in the series
you can get both 0 and 7 cheapo keys for like 10 bucks, not sure why would play 8 right of the bat
Playing this makes me remember how sluggish and unresponsive Kiryu's combat feels in the dragon engine like in 6, any tips?
>any tips?
Stop playing
short strings and dodge all the time until you get upgrades
WTF are you talking about? This is the smoothest Kiryu has ever been albeit not the most OP.
Is Majima in this shit too?
Dlc for the arena
Yeah a little bit in the main story, I don't like Majima too much but I thought he was cool in this one. You can play as him/have him on your team in the arena if you have the dlc that came with pre order or 8 bucks if you didn't pre order.
Anyone found all the Gold Balls yet? So far I've gotten the one from Akame, the guy flexing on the boat, underneath the coliseum statue, pool, and the one from Ebisu Pawn
I just got to the Akame Network thing and am already lv. 3, should I go back to Akame now and continue the story or just clear the Akame Network map while I'm at it?
If you go back to Akame, you'll unlock a mini event and then you can free roam before heading to the Castle. You may as well since you'll probably get a higher Akame level than you think you have.
Cheers.
It's only 5 chapters and should be like 20-30 hours if you do all content, I think. So yeah.
Ability upgrades require the points from those. The combat improves a ton once you start to get abilities so I would spend time doing that so the rest of the game doesn't suck as much as chapter 1.
>The prologue clearly shows that it was Kiryu that requested to be kept prisoner by Daidoji faction
>But in the rest of the game, other characters and sometime even Kiryu himself act like Daidoji forces that option on Kiryu
??????????????
It wasn't even 1 hour in playtime for this contradiction to show, who wrote this shit?
I mean it was never a real fair deal for Kiryu. They showed up when he was hospitalized and didn't really give him a real choice
He could have accept the briefcase full of cash, not saying anything and fuck off somewhere as a free man.

he pulls out this shit every single game

Nta but no sane person ever goes for platinum in these games anyway.
I finished two weeks ago Y3 before I go to Y4 at about 45%. U mad?
You didn't finish the game.
Anon you're retarded, why would you do that?
Because I finished all the stories, the game was easy enough that I couldn't eat all the foods, the minigames were alright and you can't drink more than 2-3 times even in Y4 because "LOL, annoying controller rumble every 4 seconds if you drink alcohol".
Give me more opportunities to eat food, remove the rumble of drinking, improve the games (which they are very improved in Y4) and I will finish them with more than 60%.
Sorry, I meant to reply to

BASED. I only played Saejima hunting and Haruka dance battles in 5 before moving on.
Saejima and Haruka jobs were my favs as well, good tase anon. Sometimes I just want to retreat to the snowcapped mountains to kill bears and snare rabbits to take a break to wow the city with my dance moves... Why isn't this my life
Ye I'm a bit surprised a lot of people seem to dislike the hunting.

So is this a beat em up again? Was the previous jrpg game a spin off?
>This a beat 'em up again
Yes
>Previous JRPG a spinoff
No, this game technically is a spinoff, but it's more like a Yakuza 6.5/7.5. Infinite Wealth (Yakuza 8) will be a JRPG again.
Don't the fans prefer the older gameplay?
No, that was a mainline entry. Main games will be turn based going forward, this is just an extra (but not a spinoff, because it's fully embedded in the main storyline).
Can i get tldr of 6 and 7?
No. Play them. They're 2 of the best titles in the series.
Im downloading gaiden now because i bought gamepass for for 2 weeks.
i wont make it in time.

Does this have a lot of side content? I don't mind if the main story is short if there's a decent chunk of sidekino.
I don't know but I'm downloading right now because it has those toy car race track.
it has every mini game from every previous game. except a couple arcade games missing. Virtual fighter 5 and Kamarucho of the dead are not here. at least havent seen them.
did they bring back bowling?
fuck forgot about bowling. dont think its in either.
Why does Haruka suddenly have big tits?
They don't call him the Strongest Convenience Store Clerk for nothing.
I JUST ACHIEVED ONIONS!
Should I play 7 before this? I left the game in chapter 3 because they didn't let me play and I was tired of watching cutscenes with Ichiban being a loser.
Anyway when does the game start?
>Anyway when does the game start?
After you stop being homeless.
I just started it, but was Kiryu's fake death plan really just staying confined in a temple for the rest of his life? Not changing his appearance or going to South America or something like that?

I liked the gravure videos in 0 because the girls actually look good. Not gonna bother with that fat meme vtuber kson, hoe-boive is shit and vtubers are shit.
haha i got Zhaos drip for kiryu
>people unironically pretending to care about hostess slop
Are old save bonuses tied to specific games like previous Kiryu games or will any old save cover you entirely like 7?
Yakuza is one of the most overrated game series ever.
RGG is like Ubisoft but Japan
Yakuza 0 has bad gameplay and bad story
Yakuza Like a Dragon has unbalanced and broken combat system
Kiryu is not a gigachad, Kiryu is incels fan favorite.
You cannot refute any of this.

It's understandable that negative T-level feminine penis males such as yourself would feel scared and confused by an alpha manly man series like Yakuza. Perhaps BG3 would be more to your liking?

>Perfecting my auditions
Damn, that shit really got to him huh? This just comes off as him trying to convince himself more than anything. Kinda feel bad for the guy ngl.
look at the date
it's even funnier in retrospect
Was he even a popular VTuber prior to being cast? There's no way they even had auditions with a wide cast of people and decided "Yep, this guy is definitely the one".
I think he has alright viewership, but the simple fact is all Yong does is just spit out headlines and barely even gives his opinion. People just go to him because he has been around for so long.
Yong literally got the role because he is Asian.
What's with theseretard gaming companies and giving a mandate of "They have to be the skin color of the role"? Even then, they still manage to pick the most horrendous ones. (See: Ada in RE4 Remake). It's ridiculous.
It's the new hot thing to get easy diversity points, but it is totally fine that Blacks can voice every ethnicity because they gotta get the Black VAs into the industry because they're entitled to it.
I think Capcom learned their lesson with the reaction to Ada, they kept that person for Separate Ways, but Street Fighter 6 didn't cave and go that route, keeping mostly the same actors they've always had.
Yep, he earned all the ridicule he's receiving right now.
no I understand why they gave him cancer
I guess Mr. Beast didn't audition.
Anyone else feel annoyed or just put off by the idea of people claimed to have "earnt" or "deserve" anything for themselves?
I don't know if it has something to do with being humble or what but I just don't like that idea, it feels narcissistic to some degree.
Narcissism is a positive trait in America.
I don't think it's really that humble, and it comes off as arrogant. Saying you've "earned" something is more acceptable in the case that you absolutely tried your hardest and were able to successfully pull it off. In this case, YongYea is saying he "earned" the role by just being born Asian and not being in a union, and he's barely trying since he can't even hit notes in a song or sound like a 55 year old man who smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day and drank half the world's alcohol supply.
I don't even know how Yong can say he earned it. If you look at the stuff he has voiced in it's all very minor roles and then he really only became active again in 2019 with it all being more minor roles.
The biggest roles he had are Pucci and Kiryu.
I get that the ego probably went to his head because Kiryu is his first protagonist role, but tweeting something like that just makes you look like an arrogant fuck.
I deserve a cute tomboy gf.
a true chad would not give a fuck what others have to say...actually a true chad would not be using twitter to begin with.

He reaped what he sow. Maybe if he wasn't such an algorithm-chasing homosexual he wouldn't get this much flak.
Kiryu sounded better when a white guy voiced him, though anyone with sense should play the games in Japanese.
Kurylo sounded just as bad as Yong Yea
you're as delusional as yong. at least the other dude sounded like a grown man with some hair on his balls.
Cute how the Yakuza 6 flashback avoids spoiling the big secret.
I hate how all these recent games have amazing soundtrack yet you can barely hear the OST even with in game volume max. WHY DO DEVELOPERS KEEP DOING THIS? let me listen to the bgm you fucking fags.
The new hostess minigame is better than before.
These videos are HD as fuck.
They just need like 2 more hostesses next time.
Each hostess video is roughly 5 GB since we know that the hostess videos themselves take up 25 GB of data and there's only 5 of them in the game.
>Each hostess video is roughly 5 GB
WTF? Did they not compress them at all? Maybe that's why they look so good lol
OH NO NO NO NO

>ENdub tards still having a melty
I'm unironically glad that Yong is gatekeeping ENdub tards from this series. You do not belong here.
Is it just me, or are the enemies in this game a lot more aggressive than the standard dragon engine fare, particularly on hard mode?
I'm having a hell of a time getting a full combo out without three naggers giving me a haymaker all at once.
yea the hardest mode is a good challenge I'm feeling. although I do wish like a dragon games ceased with the buy 1000 healing items and pause to use them anytime.
>although I do wish like a dragon games ceased with the buy 1000 healing items and pause to use them anytime
Just don't do that?
bros I am actually luvin' this game a lot more than I initially thought. maybe because I found ishin to be pure shit and my expectations for this one was somewhat low. either way, having a grand time.
Is this the one with Spikeout Final in the sega arcade?
I've wanted to play that game for years.
8 is the one with Spikeout.
This game adds in Fighter Vipers 2 and Daytona 2, as well as Motor Raid and Sonic the Fighters if you don't count the Judgment games.
It's weird how this seems to be the first game since Kiwami 2 to not have VF5.

Upgrading the shop isn't too bad at least. If you get 60k Akame points, you can get the one accessory that's basically the War God Talisman with 600 Attack/Defense that regens heat when you're at low HP (and it does so pretty fast too).
STOPPU SHITTING ON YONGU YEAH!!!!!!!!!
>turbo autist
>calling a grifter a grifter is inexcusable now
>DON'T CALL A SPADE A SPADE! IT'S NOT NICE!
the reason for *that* scene of kiryu losing his shit crying is perfectly reasonable now, but i wish they didn't make him do the literal T_T "anime" weeping
it looked cringey in the trailer, but the actual context of the scene is actually good. also it further proves that Taichi and Ayako were the superior children and Haruka sucks
She was going to be good but they regressed her. She slapped Mine without hesitation and didn't trust Hamazaki for a second. She was going places till they lobotomised her for 5.
Yakuza 5 Haruka is the epitome of fatherless behavior
And Yakuza 3 Haruka was peak. That's the girl whose sick of Kiryu's shit and isn't afraid to tell him. The sort that would assume the mantle of the Dragon and fight to protect her family and keep them together. But nope, she needs to be a mcguffin and all character she has is constantly rewritten to serve that. One of her very first lines is literally "I'm not 'You', I'm Haruka." she's not afraid of shit.
Yes, but it doesn't detract from her initial reaction and how it's formed from her own experience. After all, she only knows Hamazaki as the man who nearly killed her Oji-san, and her immediate reaction is to speak her mind and protect the kids. She's her own distinct character here that doesn't just nod her head to whatever someone older is saying like in 5. It's stuff like this that endeared me to her a lot and why I lament that they destroyed her in 5 and 6. She deserved better. Like Akiyama and Saejima.
>and didn't trust Hamazaki for a second
she came to regret her words and deeds

huh
is this the old lady that makes you do her shopping in Yakuza 5?
At the start of the game, when Kiryu learns the Tojo alliance got disbanded he says "You were right"
Who is he referring to? I forgot.
His handler said it wouldn't be much of a consolation, but with the anti-yakuza laws, the Tojo would've been doomed anyway. Kiryu says he's right, it wasn't a consolation, smoothbrain-kun.
Is this literally Yong posting?
He seems like the type of guy to Google his name and the thread popped up so he's trying to direct the narrative before ultimately making a video about the haters
There is no way this game is worth the full price they are asking for. It was developed for only a few months and basically a DLC.
it's not full price though
A meager 15% discount is not nearly enough, it's a israeli price
Good thing Gamepass exists.
i'm not going to buy a single new yakuza game until sega retards stop putting ecelebs in the games
They've been putting fake celebs in their games for ages and many of those cameos are more obnoxious to boot.
Yakuza has been using them since at least 5. Maybe older.
Yakuza 3 at the very latest. All the hostesses were models from Koakuma Ageha magazine.
It's retarded non-fans whining about it anyway. Yakuza has ALWAYS been about what's current in the era it's set in and having Kiryu (or Saejima etc) be confounded by these newfangled toys, scams and technologies.
I unironically fapped to a jav slut when i first discovered Yakuza 4. It blew my mind when I googled her and found out she did porn.
No eceleb cameo has been as egregious as putting this fuckface in 5.
Filtered.
i mean this guy and the youtuber in 6 were pretty bad but at least they're japanese unlike nyanners, markiplier and yongyea
is the youtuber substory guy a real guy? I just assumed he was a parody of youtubers?
i think someone said so in a yakuza thread years ago but idfktbh
it's funny seeing that his reputation immediately dropped a few months after the game came out
And to think they pulled copies of Judge Eyes off of store shelves to bury Pierre Taki for a little coke, but preserved this fag all the way to the remaster.
I mean, all Tatsuya did was be a pompous prick who charges like 5 dollars for a glass of water that is put on the table without specifically ordering it. That's not really the same as doing drugs
I think any other country on the planet would have more vitriol toward the water guy than someone getting arrested for a dime bag.
Bruh I don't even know who this nigga is. Was he the main character? No. Was he so fucking thin skinned he couldn't take an ounce of criticism and consequently created an echo chamber where he obsessively monitored and controlled what was said? I doubt it. Get this goofy ass sounding ching chong ying Yong outta my shit cuh like fr.
Fr fr?
at least he's from japan
holy fuck, that was a real person?
Tatsuya Kawagoe. He was a real celebrity chef who was kind of a knobhead, and apparently charged 800 yen / around 5 dollars for a bottle of water in his restaurants. If there's any more controversy I dunno about it, but apparently he fell out of favor in the market almost immediately after the game came out.
>800 yen / around 5 dollars for a bottle of water in his restaurants.
Doesn't sound any worse than what they charge for at a sports stadium 2bh.
It's the ikinari steak guy in judgment for me. The advertisment can't be more blatant.
>start game
>Walk into different area
>Kiryu shouts "YOOOONG OUT!!!" before the loading screen
What the fuck? Is there something I missed from the previous games?
>want to play gaiden
>no crack
>nobody doing free denuvo activation
>xbox game pass russian trick has tripled in price
it's over, so over for poorfags.
Account sharing exist, it's how I play sega games all this time
with whomst
There are people who sold that kind of service, it's the new counterfeit business. You still have to pay but $1.5 is literally nothing.
rizzin up lv7 gyatt
wonder if Joryu plopped Akane after hours i know i would
yeah kiryu be plapping her agent style with his new toys
>ishin gets 3 ultra hotties

i'm an uggo and i consider women above 5/10 to be pretty
and cute dress and makeup adds at least one point
Excuse me. I'm looking for someone who would know something about Chinese people
Years ago, I was Chinese
Ah finally, a character worthy of Yong's ""talent"".
Wait the OST is already out ?! Wasn't expecting that quickly.
I’ve literally just spent the last hour playing pool and I can’t stop.
Help me
So the 80 something GB file size has to be those dating FMVs right? Jesus Christ they're high quality
Over 20 gigs, yeah. Another big chunk of the file size is the 8 demo.
The quality is actually insane. I wish they'd used some hotter women for them as it feels like a waste having only 2 matures.
THE SECRET OF ONOMICHI IS THE Y
Is there any point using anyone except Joryu in the coliseum? I tried a few guys and they're all slowass shitters. The boxer host dude just got stunlocked because every single jab gave him a hard knockdown for some reason. The only one I managed to clear a fight with was Kamiyama by just blasting with the cannon, but I still got a bad rank. Do I just need to tardwrangle them through the mob battles until they're strong enough to do the individual battles? Is there even any point to doing that when even then their movesets will obviously be less fun and varied than Joryu's?
Does this girl come back? She cute
Would Ganker take advantage of this druk girl?
yeah but I'm a sick fuck and Joryu would show up and beat the shit out of me
Moar like the man who returned it to Gamestop
I really hope they keep the outfit customization in Y8
it's neato dressing up Joryu in different suits
I think it'll just be regular costume swapping like previous games. The RPG games already have swapping to job outfits when going into battle.
>Kiryu crying
🙁
/ourgirl/ is finally playnig
that's not /ourgirl/ though
I don’t want you to ever call this woke brainrotted NPC /ourgirl/ ever again
>plays in the superior JP audio
>knows all the creators by name
>is not a 0 secondary
>cried at 6's ending
yep, i'm thinking she's /ourgirl/
She’s still a woketard who wants Kiryu and Majima to buttfuck
> fujoshit is woke now
what
2000s-type fujoshi are fine, twitter types who think their yaoi pairings are activism need to go, I have no idea which one this person is and she seems like a literally who so I assume it's her or one of her friends shilling her
Idk any of these youtubers either, but the thought of someone sperging because of a mainstay of weeb culture that's actually problematic in woke terms is funny to me.
it is problematic which is why a lot of them try to portray it as activism to avoid crabs-in-a-barrel "cishet women objectifying gay men" accusations so I get why a zoomer taking a drive-by look at that culture would be confused & think most are like that
wait, so am i woke for wanting to see 2 hot women make out?
>likes the shitty mcu intro
>wants to play in english
>fucking zero secondary
Why have we reached the point that someone is automatically treated as a subhuman, just because they started Yakuza with 0?
because it's true
Why?
Some people decided 0 brought in too many new fans. Even if you played every single game you can you joined too late. Don't worry about it.
What if I started from 0 by my favorite game is 4
>my favorite game is 4
unbelievably shit taste
four faith and tanimura is just too good
because secondaries from popular entries already ruin the fanbase
see persona with 5
A secondary is someone who doesn't play the games but still engages in the fandom, like a touhoufag who never beat a single shmup.
so a 0fag them
>A secondary is someone who doesn't play the games but still engages in the fandom
so 0fags
because of just how insufferable you're being right now
They are
kys 0fag
>Gankerfags being literally incapable of forming a coherent thought when asked to explain their beliefs
Shocking
>Gankerfags
go back
Make me
good job outting yourself redditor 0fag
I started Yakuza with 0
>getting this upset and mass replying because someone insulted a streamer you simp over
kiln yourself
>inventing scenarios in your head
Meds
this all started because someone rightfully called some streamer cunt poster here a 0fag
zero secondary
>secondary
Actually playing games is now being a secondary. /jp/ mindset is astonishing.
It's great but the PC controls are fucking garbage.
you're not playing with a fucking keyboard and mouse are you..
I was but I'm gonna just get a controller because it's legit impossible. Why the fuck don't they just use Batman's control scheme or at least let us fucking edit them? Fucking Japan
>I was
what a retard
Why would you play a 3D brawler where positioning is important without analog control?
They don't use Batman's control scheme because the game doesn't just warp you over to the nearest enemy the way Batman does.
Not him but I actually play 0 fully with keyboard. I just keep resetting the camera to face the enemy forward.
Of course nothing beats using the controller, but I was a poorfag back then
real yakuza use a gamepad
>The potato faces on the orphanage photod.
SOVL
How fucking old is Mame, anyway? I was surprised to see him in the orphanage cutscene.
they've had him since 2009, so about 10-11 years old in Gaiden
Mame is probably something like 13 or 14 years old at this point, which is about the span of time before they die. Mame is probably on his last legs.
I haven't got to the crying scene yet, is he bawling because he learned they had to put him down?
no
Taichi sent a video message and a drawing of the orphanage kids by Haruto. Kiryu was crying because he couldn't be with them.
kino. the only thing this man ever truly loved his whole life. the orphanage he calls family.
The Castle fast travel at Gold Rank seems pretty redundant, but I won't say it isn't convenient at times.
They'll say the orphanage stuff in Gaiden was closure, but it's actually all setup for Taichi getting his own spinoff where he's a firefighter getting into similar substory hijinks as Kiryu
STEP UP!
OMG ITS YONG YEA!!!!!!
just remember... going down this path is your choice
>Team Rumble with 10 allies just becomes an incoherent mess of flying bodies, blood everywhere, and a bunch of particle effects until you eventually all gang up on the giant enemy
Holy kino
>That ending
Is there a list of units for the coliseum gacha out yet
Anyone else really enjoying Sonic the fighters
Not sure I deserve the yen from complete failure but I'll take it.
The yakuza paid you for having to deal with the Obatarian.
Gokudou are very understanding people.
kaito stooped so low man...
Kaito is in this? Or is this the IW demo?
Gaiden. He's got a cameo substory where you buddy cop with him.
>it's not pre-expelled kaito
soulless
Why would it be pre-expelled Kaito? Not sure when he was expelled but it would be before 2018, and Gaiden is set in 2019.
Fuck, I keep forgetting 7 didn't take place directly after 6
heres your judgment 3 bro
hes in gaiden
I have finished the game but havent met mr try and hit me, where is he?
where can you buy alcohol for the homeless request?
Any Poppo. Buy Sake at the bottom of the list.
Literally in the Poppo a few steps away there's sake. Are you the same guy looking for the okonomiyaki shop?
no i'm just dumb and don't think convenience stores would sell alcohol
They do everywhere not Muslim or Scandinavian I'm pretty sure.
Still on chapter 2 doing the Akame Network substories. I'm sold on it now, they haven't lost the magic yet.
I wish blackjack didn't require you to win multiple hands in a row to get higher bets
That's why I only play poker, at least you can mitigate where you fail
>0fags crying again
holy fuck just die
you redditors are why there is so much western e-celeb homosexualry plaguing this franchise now
reminder that 0 is the only good game in the series
>0 still mindbreaking JP larpers 8 whole years after it released
kek
I started Yakuza with 0
Better than the main games with their shitty turn based combat. I’ll never play a main Yakuza game again while they have turn based combat. Why are nips so fucking retarded?
>Karaoke still lags
maybe next game
still lags
works on my machine
>start to get popular in the west
>change franchise name
>change genres
>becomes better
franchise name
You mean change English franchise name to be a translation fo the Japanese one, that didn't change? This is peak Dunning-Kruger lol.
I understand it's Like a Dragon in Japan, but it's been Yakuza in the west for well over a decade. So yes, technically they changed the name because a lot of people have no idea what the fuck LaD is.
So what relation does it have to the series being popular in the west now, except that they feel comfortable using the original title now? How does this relate to quality in any way?
didn't say anything about quality
it's just a baffling decision to change the western name and the genre in general
Sega are up there with Konami and squeenix on terms of stupid decisions
With 7 having a new protagonist they probably felt it was a good time to change the title too. They were probably planning on doing this for a while.
Anyway Gaiden is the old genre anyway, so this doesn't apply to the game the thread is about.
the games are becoming less about yakuza with each title. but theres no need to explain this to a fag like you.
retard
> Western title is changed to be more in line with the Japanese title
>reeee devs are ruining the game by pandering to the west
Who's the retard here anon
>Four Lights Aoki
YOU CHEATING FUCK, YOU DID NOT HAVE SEASONS
So is Hanawa Morinaga?
Yes, they share the same voice actor and he knows the events of 5
It can't be anyone else
BROS THERE'S WAY HOTTER GIRLS THAN THE HAG AND THE VTUBER AT THE CASTLE CABARET WE'RE SAVED
there's more than 2 cabaret girls? we fucking won
2 in Sotenbori, 3 at the Castle. Just don't go to them too early, because they'll drain your wallet if you buy the expensive champagne everytime.
You can see Ai's nips
I love japanese milfs so much bros its unreal
i get the feeling that the guy who chose the cabaret girls is a booba enjoyer
Do these also have the softcore stuff that I saw people mention about the vtuber?
yup
i only got bath with AI tho
How are your Kiryus coming along?
