>spend more than 15+ years working on a game franchise, putting your whole heart and soul into it only to suddenly be thrown out of the company then have someone else replace you as the head director and producer of the thing that was yours and you helped create and get to where it is in this very moment
How the frick does one even manage to deal with something like this? I'd probably just snap and kill all the execs responsible for such a decision. Imagine having no say in the matter of your own creation anymore.

isnt the new head director and producer also an OG tho?
wtf, he really got fired?
during an interview, he called Nintendo fans the equivalent of "söycucks" in Japanese and said the Switch was a console for children and kids games, which is why he's not porting the Yakuza games to it and only sticking to consoles (Xbox, Playstation) and PC releases.
SEGA then ended up forcing him to step down from his position as the one in charge of the studio and his own franchise then he left the company to create his own indie studio working together with the chinese instead who are helping him fund his future titles.
He was actually taking bribes to keep Yakuza off the Switch. Getting wined and dined by Sony execs
>he called Nintendo fans the equivalent of "söycucks" in Japanese and said the Switch was a console for children and kids games
They hated him because he told them the truth.
i love the photo they attached for this article
smug frick
It's funny he put himself in 5 as T-Set's manager
he did?
It's just a lookalike. The coliseum receptionist also isn't Kiryu's voice actor.
And then it went on to become the second best selling console ever made without a single Yakuza game on it
never mess with Tendo's tendies mafia
the number of real yakuza profiting off tendies isnt 0
Do you have a source or is this just conspiracy nonsense
It wasn't Nintendo games he said this stuff about, it was PuyoPuyo fans. SEGA had him on the mic during a promotional Puyo Puyo event and he called one of the players a chigyu and everyone got mad at him.
>chigyu
>look it up
it seems his comment hit a bit too close to home for them
>during an interview, he called Nintendo fans the equivalent of "söycucks" in Japanese and said the Switch was a console for children and kids games, which is why he's not porting the Yakuza games to it and only sticking to consoles (Xbox, Playstation) and PC releases.
I will play his games now.
Holy gigachad
and the first thing they did was to desecrate Kiryu to piss on your legacy
ACKTUALLY, HE EARNED IT THROUGH HIS WORK ETHICS AND TALENT AND NOT BECAUSE HE WAS CHEAP AND HAS BUILT IN AUDIENCE.
HA HA HA. Oh man fricking /r voice actors. Jesus. Ha ha ha ha. And he's Ko-leahn
seethe moron your days are numbered
Don't forget the fact that it's WRONG for a white man to voice a Japanese character, therefore they did the morally right thing by casting a Japanese person.
>What do you mean he's Korean? Who cares, you asiatics all look the same anyway.
He'll probably get fired since he brought attention to SEGA removing a bunch of people from the credits of the Yakuza games on GOG, something they were probably hoping nobody would notice.
I hope Yong gets fired but they've likely all recording all of his lines, at least Yong has basically said he's been working with Sega already. So it's unlikely they're going to throw away all that recording studio hire costs out the window. It's pretty expensive to do that.
Nintendo patched Fire Emblem 3H and Heroes to remove the original VA for Byleth. Granted, Kiryu talks more than Byleth, but it's still a thing companies would do. There's also that time Hitman Absolution was going to replace the voice of 47 with some celebrity or something and then like 4 months before the game came out they redid all the scenes for the game with his original VA.
CHING CHONG OUT
>28 years old
Yikes, I thought Asians were supposed to age well?
Who the frick plays Yakuza dubbed? Aside from 1.
He unironically looks better with the glasses on, long hair and no face pubes.
>Who the frick plays Yakuza dubbed?
It's no excuse. Sega should be held accountable when they use a dub and don't treat the characters with proper respect. Use the original actor, they could do it with 7 and there was no complaints from anyone with that. Anyone who didn't like it could change it obviously, but that's still treating it with dignity.
his new netease game will change gaming as you know it.
Anyone has the image of Nagoshi dressed in full gold with some b***hes at his side?
what happened to him
he looks Frickin' Awesome now.
He became Like A Dragon
looks like james may
His kyodai spent 10 years in the joint and in that time, his sister also died.
He tried to insert himself to the game but instead Kazuma inserted himself in him.
coldest motherfricker in sega
Yokoyama could never
What a pencil neck
He did a shit job when they promoted him and then he fricked off to china.
who cares, he hasnt made a single good game after yakuza 2 anyway
Yong Yea is the voice actor for Kiryu, so clearly something has gone awry at RGG to allow such a moronic decision to go ahead. I hope he puts out something else good with his new studio.
How did Yong land that role? He has the most boring, monotonous voice I've ever heard
connections in the industry and the fact that SEGA can use him as a free marketing tool for the game in the west. the japs don't actually care about putting effort into the dubs for these games, they're legit just using it as a means to further market the game in the West.
>Look guys, look!
>We got this e-celeb that you recognize to star in this game haha, isn't it great that you recognize them?
>Now buy our game,please, onegaishimasu!
Damn, that's based. I will now buy their game

?t=66 It can't be that ba-
It's different from Darryl Kurylo's performance without the roughness in the voice. Kuroda's voice hasn't changed a bit so I get if he wants to try and imitate that
>Yakuza series is declining for years
>Is directly responsible for decisions resulting in loss of billions of yen for Sega
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOW COULD THEY HECKIN' FIRE HIM????????
the only decision he made that lost them money was not porting the games to PC sooner. but that was more, losing out on money they could've made, not money they lost.
He's directly responsible for console and mobile Sakura Wars bombing spectacularly
Also when the games got added to GOG, they removed him from the credits of the games he worked on, along with the people at SEGA who followed him and the studio that actually is responsible for porting the games to PC to begin with.
Cheese eaters won
Obviously you join the yakuza or start your own gang.
>How the frick does one even manage to deal with something like this?
By making a "serial numbers filed off"-style spiritual successor? In his case, it would be about Yankiis or something.
There is literally nothing wrong with tendies or cheese beef bowls.
Frick off chigyu
I will say, it's better to like cheesy beef bowls over basedmilk. cheesy beef bowls are more an insult because it's a childish thing to order, like ordering a steak well done with ketchup, so the type of person that would order it has a specific type of personality. basedmilk is just gross.
So it's like tendies or something, a manchild (or literal child) food
cheese and beef go so well together
>roast beef with cheese
>cheesesteak
>cheeseburgers
>tacos
this sounds like the same kind of autism people have over putting ketchup on a hotdog
>OH MY HECKING SCIENCE!!! DID YOU JUST HECKING PUT KETCHUP ON THAT DOG!?!?!?!
I ate cheegyu at Sukiya many times. I miss Nippon.
I swear everytime I look at this dude I see Hayashida from Cromartie.
He answered the call?
