Can we go back to Ichiban
ICHIBASED ICHIBASED ICHIBASED
Has one man ever broken a board this badly?
I like Ichiban but I loathe playing as him. 7 was a "number go down" slogfest.
Ugh this games seem so fun but i hate chinky shit
>generic crybaby shounenshit mc
nah, 8 will flop after all the 7 new troons fricked off
We only have 7troons because Yak 7 was the only game the PS5 had on launch, lightning in a bottle.
Yak 8 is bound to flop
But Yak8 will be the only game PS5 has three years after launch.
isn't this series full miltiplat worldwide every machine on day 1 now
NOOO EVERYBODY IS A TROON WHO LIKE A GOOD GAME, ME MYSELF I NEVER PLAY ANY GAMES JUST CRY.
Noob
>A GOOD GAME
homie i've seen RPGmaker games with better JRPG gameplay than YLAD. Shit is 1980s level of "Basic JRPG"
>Denuvo
Day 1 gog purchase
There's no way it's gonna be on gog on release if it has have denuvo.
HAHAHAHA LOOKS SHIT
STEP UP!
>a Straw Hat straight out of One Piece
>straight out of One Piece
OOOOO CHING CHONG NIP NOG
all he needs now are some horse teeth that protrude from under his upper lip
pay voice actors
what they are FRICKING worth!
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
How can I mail a vial of spit and a kick to the ribs to a westoid "voice actor"?
>This is Kiryu Kazuma and I say PREDATORY PRACTICES, LOOTBOXES, ACTIVISION, METAL GEAR
>YONG OUT
Will western VAs ever stop with this "I AM THE CHARACTER" shit?
he probably never even played the games
No, unless China stops shipments of all* (97% of all active ingredients in american medicine market) meds and all of the actors get a schizophrenic meltdown and kill themselves.
Hayter does this until someone steals his car or a shambling hobo causes an "active shooter emergency" at a netflix building, then he's back to being a chubby Hollywood has-been.
>No physical PS5 release in EU
We are back in the “I have no idea if it will even come to the west” days. I put up with the annoying Y0 homosexuals for nothing?
The only physical releases are Asian English and Japanese. Asian English comes in both PS4 and PS5 versions so just grab one of those. Japanese version is Japanese only. DLC will need you to have a SEA account though.
what the frick are they thinking with this awful name / rebrand? i've never seen such a moronic name for a follow-up product since the wii u
autism
>lad
its whatever, still stupid
>gaiden in english
lol
guess they thought yakuza 7.5 / 8 was 8 numbers too deep
Going from Yakuza, to Yakuza: Like a Dragon and then to Like a Dragon 8 would had been a decent move, but both this and 8 have titles so fricking stupid
What is 8 called again?
Infinite Wealth, with the 8 being turned sideways to form the Infinity symbol.
>Ryu ga Like a Dragon Infinite ∞ Wealth Gotoku
Man, that's a mouthful
™
It's just japs being moronic with titles. Probably some cultural/linguistic thing.
I would much prefer ascended vagabond monk Kiryu over whatever this is.
No Haruka; no buy. Miss me with that gay shit bruh.
>Wanting a bawd who got canon CHINKED
>Mixes Yakuza With James Bond
you mean like, story only because of the whole "secret agent" thing, right?
because this shit is as far away from a james bond game as you could go.
you would need to have it be a stealth thing where you shoot people, not beat the frick out of thugs in the screen while swinging around like fricking spiderman on your magical rope electric rope gadget
Why's everyone in the comments praising the game and not mentioning any form of criticism?
Modern Yakuzagays (or 0gays) literally are incapable of criticism
Yakuza fanbase is one of those types
What do you want people to criticise?
just realised the heat bar system is probably still like judgment's (store multiple bars + bar won't drain + takes longer to charge than in older games)
Yakuza is the goyslop of Japan
They are making like 2 of these every year
>goyslop america
annoyed wojak face
>goysslop japan
excited screaming wojak face
But that isn't even true
Sashiburidana
Denuvo?
I'm just gonna switch to brawler stance or whatever it's called in this game and never switch out of it.
>never switch out of it.
You will be required to at some point, mainly in the Tutorial, then probably when you have to clear up challenges or gain achievements that explicitly ask you use the Agent style to "Defeat X amount of enemies" or something else. And probably some enemies might have resistances or do block moves that you can't easily bypass unless you switch to Agent and quickly dish out some specific attack that denies them the resistance.
>SpiderKiryu
Is this how they're shitting on Togashi or whatever his name is? No way this is not on purpose right?
>Yakuza will never leave japan - Nagoshi
>Yakuza 8 will leave japan
Yeah its on purpose
But.. Hawaii IS Japan
t.
dayum that's A LOT of medals. wonder what he did to gain them
He worked hard
Also, he was martyred by amerimutts in a show trial instead of having to take responsibility for losing and disemboweling himself out of shame.
t. WW2 era jap boomer
i love all of these games
more gaidens, more judgements, more lad, just keep them coming
Did you play it yet bro?
idk if its actually out yet tho
I wish they had localized it as "Yakuza" that was the western name of the series at the time.
Yes please, but make combat pre rubber engine model dragon, but keep seamless world of rubber engine model dragon.
Is the Judgment spinoffs worth getting into if I don't particularly care about the Yakuza franchise?
One of my recent favorite singers did the opening for Lost Judgment and I've been eyeing the game ever since, don't know if it's worth getting into
My only experience with Yakuza-like games is Kenka Bancho on the PSP
Kenka Bancho isn't like Yakuza at all outside of the fighting a bit. Akiba's Trip 2's general structure is far more like what Yakuza is just without being locked into a VN route. Judgment is essentially just Yakuza but with a different MC. It focuses a bit more on the government side of things than the yakuza side of things but Yagami still heavily deals with the yakuza all the time. LJ is also a sequel to 7, like, a direct sequel. It actively spoils the events towards the end of 7 multiple times because the story is built around it
>his voice actor costs too much
Where do you people get this idea from? Dude voices brand new lines for Akiyama in Online seemingly every time a new card comes out. He has almost as many cards as Saejima (Who has 20).
Even Adachi has four cards despite not even being in Online as a character and if I remember right he's a far bigger VA than Akiyama's, the most recent of which was like four months ago. Adachi's also been the voice of random MotW in Sentai shows so clearly being a massive VA name doesn't require that much money to hire them since Adachi's VA is being hired for less than a minute or two on a shoestring budget. Meanwhile they got Akiyama as a narrator for Zero-One which is less than a few seconds of dialogue per episode.
Ah frick
Guess I need to spend time on the mainline games, then
You can give Judgment a go if you want and see if it's for you. It's fairly standalone. It's technically a sequel to 6 but there's like maybe four references to the mainline games if that, and you have to already know what they are to even notice them. They'd just be normal things for you without that knowledge.
Just a warning though, Judgment has a lot of tailing missions with the final story one being like six minutes long going in circles at least three times. It's also heavily prevalent in the Side Cases. If you can deal with that you should be fine, they're playable J-dramas so just expect cutscenes and talking. As long as you don't rush the story every chance you get there's a lot of combat and side content around Kamurocho.
Thanks, sounds good to me
It's not my first Japanese game so I'm used to cutscenes
Should I play Judgement before LAD?
You'll just see some locations from JE in 7 like Yagami's office (Picture related), KJ Arts, Club Amour, and Charles, that's the extent of the references to it in addition to the superboss (Who mentions nothing of it). 7 to LJ is the primary issue because the story revolves around decisions everyone made at the end of 7 and they talk about it frequently.
Also one of the main characters in Judgment is playable in Gaiden's arena
How long until Yagami meets Ichi/Joryu?
Judgment 3 when he shows up out of nowhere as a superboss
What I'm concerned about is the combat doesn't look as good as Lost Judgment which was released in 2021 or maybe that's just because this reviewer can't play for shit.
>ichiban in game
Wait, this is after Y7? I thought this is Y6.5 for some reason.
nice fricking ice skating combat
>everyone's just waiting around for their turns and doing taunts in the background instead of bumrushing the player
>a bunch of japanese salarymen dont actually want to square up and just throw taunts while backing away from the guy punching one of their companions in the stomach
soul
>ladg:tmwehn is the post kh2 of yakuza
OHNONONONONO
Looks fine to me.
Looks good, Yakuza was never known for realistic combat
I dont like how skinny the hp bar is compared to the non judgment games.
why the frick's the health bar so minimalistic in design compare to previous serious?
Looks like Kiwami
would it be too much to ask for an akiyama game so i can loan people money in hilarious substories while kicking people across the map with my freakishly bendable legs while smoking cigarettes and thinking about hana's thighs?
>akiyama
NEVER EVER
sorry bro, his voice actor costs too much to employ anymore for a series that barely sells
Lol he doesn't cost more than Yagami. They just finally realized that Akiyama is trash and replaced him with Nick.
it just isn't fair
Can't believe the final boss of Infinite Wealth is fought in Pearl Harbour
Wait why is he back?
I thought we had a new main character.
Yokoyama is literally incapable of writing a story without Kiryu in it.
Who even asked for this dogshit? Yakuza fatigue limit exceeded.
>Who even asked for this dogshit?
0gays and 7tards
>It's the "Kiryu faked his death but goes out to beat up yakuzas again anyway" episode
I've never watched a James Bond film, does he really have all these wacky gadgets? The new ones especially seem to me like just regular, realistic, gritty spy flicks.
Yes. He's got watches that can do stuff like be deadly lasers, print out telegrams, explode like a bomb, or shoot grappling hooks strong enough to rappel him. He can fulton himself, he's got a cigarette that can literally shoot a rocket out of it, he had a wristguard that shot darts, a pen that can shoot acid to dissolve stuff, like seven different gadgets that function as lockpicks, a ring thing that instantly wins slot machine jackpots, a grapple gun, a belt that shoots out a rope or something like that, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot since it's been years since I watched Bond stuff.
Outside of calling in the drones and arguably the cigarette Kiryu does use what James Bond would.
Japanese steam with more stuff
We truly live in Kamurocho.
Nice find! That'll fetch a high price.
I can't bare the change to live-action because real girls being sexy makes me super flustered and shy
It was hard in 6 but the little Kiryu in the corner helped me overcome it
Is the waiter going to be live action when he comes and tells you your session is almost up?
They've no clue where to take this series now do they
Something about this game gives me the feeling it wasn't originally made with Kiryu in mind and they retroactively made him the protag.
damnit the japanese steam isn't swapping the playable character in the coliseum, I wanna see how that works
