>Yakuza Kiwami 3 announced>no thread about itNot too surprising, since it's a butchered de-make.
>>721623010Nigga Yakuza 3 was absolute ass.No matte what you change, you can only improve it
>>721623189>Nigga Yakuza 3 was absolute ass.It was not. Especially after utter shit that was Kiwami 2, the return to the roots was a bliss.>you can only improve itYeah, you COULD, but THEY cannot.Pic very related. They also EXPANDED the fucking orphanage bullshit.
Yakuza 8 flopped in the West>sales in Japan and Asia seem to have made up a big part of this momentum, as Yokoyama notes, “The game is incredibly strong in Japan. Sales in (the rest of) Asia are also quite strong, but the momentum in Japan is even greater than in the past.”https://automaton-media.com/en/news/like-a-dragon-infinite-wealth-dev-surprised-by-unprecedented-speed-of-sales-and-big-change-in-sales-pattern/
>>721623997why teh fuck does every character have to be given that specific fit physique for women to lust over? guy on top actually looks like a proper grandpa with a beer gut or whatever and still sort of strong despite not having bulging muscles or chiseled body. bottom just looks like fujo bai.
>>721624050Thing is, I can enjoy a Yakuza every 2-3 years if it's good. Those japs think they're making Call of Duty and are expecting people to play like 2 yakuza games each year.
>>721624156>why teh fuck does every character have to be given that specific fit physique for women to lust over?To appeal to their main demographic
Yokoyama needs to be let go.
>>721623997>They also EXPANDED the fucking orphanage bullshit.Good.
>>721623010I played it at TGS>You could pick between Y3K and Mine Gaiden, I picked Mine Gaiden so I'm not sure about Y3K but probably really similar>Combat is less floaty and more grounded than previous Gaiden games, but not autistic like early Dragon Engine titles, it's the closest they've ever gotten to pre-Dragon Yakuza>Kanda is bit of a comic relief but the entire scenario was about stopping him from raping (massaging) a woman, so I don't think they are planning to retcon him as being wholesome like the trailer showed, he was very rapey and horny>As per usual Yakuza, it's great but not amazing. I'd say from the looks of thing it's somewhere between 6/10 - 8/10
>>721623997>Pic very related.Pic makes sad>mine:,)
this series is so fucking bad i regret ever wasting my short valuable time playing them
>>721623997>They also EXPANDED the fucking orphanage bullshit.hell yeah brother i love orphan side stories
>>721625958even the racist one??? you need to be better.....
>>721625958It's not "stories".You'll be playing literal Farmville at the Morning Glory now. And playing soccer.
>>721626257loved the little nigga>>721626381cool everyone liked the time wasting management mini games like real estate or the business bullshit. yakuza is a game you play with beer and snacks after all. gotta have some menus
>>721626381Why the fuck do they have cows when the OG made no mention to anything like that whatsoever?WHERE do they even let them go when they have to walk outside and eat grass and shit?There's no place for it anywhere nearby. The orphanage itself is right next to the beach so all they eat would be sad. They backyard is not somehow big enough for the cause to exercise around and eat the grass off of. There's no hilly zone with grazing grass anywhere nearby for anyone to herd the cows to and let them roam around for a while.These devs are actually genuinely fucked in the head and don't care about either of those question that if anyone were to bring up, it would completely raped the "immersion" of the whole thing. They just seemed to plop the cows down there without any further though cause they wanted to an that's the extent of their brain capacity when it comes to writing.
>>721626585>They just seemed to plop the cows down there without any further thoughThe famous yokoyama-style writing
>>721623010why give 3 the remake experience when it looks and runs fine? the fighting is a little meh but its perfect otherwise
>>721625752They're just all kind of the same. Even Judgment is really the same shit. The PS2 games are honestly the best of them, for all the refinements that might have been introduced later.
>>721626585don't think about it too much, the writer doesn't either.
>orphan shit now is comfy cozy daddy simulator>GTO simulator>a new fighting style>a bunch of new side content>Mine expansion>all on that on top of the game characters not looking like Hitman Blood Money modelsI trade rikiya and his clan getting shit models for all this. Yakuza 3 is finally worth not pirating and replaying. (mods will fix it)
>>721627086go back to r/yakuzagames you zoomer trannoid
>>721627203>everyone who disagrees with me is a trannyi think you might be projecting anon, something you aren't telling us?
>>721627086>the joke is porn
>>721627873>Is-is that a woman acting slutty???AHHHHHHH I'M GOING INSANE, PLEASE COLLECTIVE SHOUT CENSOR IT, NIGGERMAN SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
They butchered how Hamazaki looks. What the fuck?
>>721627086why are those women laughing at this lady's vagina
>>721626381>mfw I'm a cow
>>721628943Have you and frens never acted gay for the lulz? same thing.They are laughing at her outlandish behavior.
is this unreal engine sloppa? if it is Im going to pass. this coming from someone who had bought and liked (except for ishin demake) every yakuza game including pirate yakuza and Judgement games.
>>721629304Dragon Engine.
yakuze games are the only new releases that consistetly makes me want to upgrade my rig and buy them on release.fuck this AAA gay industry, when gaming became so stale.
>>721630754isn't yakuza game pretty optimized tho, why do you need to upgrade your rig
>>721623997What's wrong with actually making the orphanage stuff fun? In the original there was nothing too it but the game forced you to do it for hours
>>721632104I'm still on a 1050. Anything past Yakuza 6 will make my PC chug.
>>721630754>fuck this AAA gay industry, when gaming became so stale.>yakuza fanis this a funpost
>>721630754Bro these games still run on PS4.
>>721624050Lol at Yong Yea crying about Galaxy 1 + 2 being $70 while thinking Kiwami 3 being $60 is fine because he voices Kiryu
>>721633587it doesn't run on my puter.>>721632601>multiplayer only battle royale hero shooter gaas gacha #435435345vs>le funny john yakuza brawler game with a gazilion side activitiesYou can't go wrong with yakuze.>>721633624kiwami 3 does comes with a shit ton of new content though on top of being a full on remake. Galaxy only got a upres.
>>721630210niiiice
>>721633624Kiwami 3 has an entire Gaiden game alongside it plus they're adding a significant amount of content. If it were a Nintendo game it would be $70 at launch and the Mine DLC would come out two months later for $20
which game has the most replay value?
>>721635567>replay value>in yakuza gamesLOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
what the fuck were they thinking
>>721636064...WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO RIKIYA ?Is every single character fucked up beyond repair??
>Original game>Sunset, shoji doors are wide open allowing the glaring sun to shine on character and drop shadow on the wall>Remake>Just remove the sun, remove all shadows and put orange filterFantastic graphical remake
>>721636397>Is every single character fucked up beyond repair??LOL :)
>>721632258>I'm still on a 1050lol. save 50-100 bucks a month for a new rig
I have only played Yakuza 0. I will never play another Yakuza game.
>>721636540>red shirt becomes green>white slacks become black>socks get taken off so that he's barefoot nowwhat the fuck are these changes?????
>>721623010>no thread about itthere were threads about it days ago, retard.
>>721623010There’s no thread cause there’s like a million of these fucking games man Like who gives a shit. Next year there’s going to be Yakuza outback adventures in Australia and after that yakuza like a dragon 3, and after that Yakuza ER surgeon and after that Kiwami 4
>>721636792well i didn't see them, so it may as well be like there were never any.
>>721636540>model poster the wall poster and katana is the EXACT SAME fucking model from the Y3 game>like, directly ripped and reused from it>but literally everything else is changed even though it didn't have to be
>>721636784Yeah it seems so random as fuck. I don't mind having outfit customization, but why change his default look like that?He also has those grandpa sandals while in Okinawa, which look goofy as fuck when fighting the street thugs.Also, this comparison pic is just amazing. Even looking past the obnoxious orange filter on the left, the facial expression is so different it's hilarious. From a hospitalized guy desperately trying to defend the orphanage to a smug sushi chief.
>>721636682is this ai generated
literally not a single person likes these changes. western or japanese. it's really quite astounding how badly they fucked up absolutely everything.
>>721637204>is this ai generatednope.
>>721637376>even the japs themselves don't likes it cause they see it as "okinawan erasure" lmaoooooo
>>721636682Jesus christ, I didn't even realize who that was supposed to be!
I will forgive them if there is explicit Kiryu-Haruka sex.
Do people actually like being given customization options like this?I felt as if what the games used to be like before, story focused and all, forcing you in a specific outfit through the game based on the story progression and all that was kind of the staple of it and why the characters became recognizable for their looks to begin with...Imagine the games letting you just change Kiryu into his golden suit whenever you pleased before finishing the game, it would look retarded.
It's not even out and I am already seething about how badly they are going to ruin it>New (shittier) voice actors/models>Localization for ''modern audiences'' (AKA faggots/trannies/femoids)>instead of enemies actually putting up a fight and blocking theyll be non responsive punching bags you can throw from one end of ryukyu to the otherI am thankful they at least released the best game ever made moderately untouched on PC. The remaster isn't perfect or as good as the OG but it will be leagues ahead of this shit demake
>>721636682>from sleazy gangster to stressed salaryman
>>721637878its for women and homosexuals
>>721623010>butchered de-makeYakuza is dead to me until they remove the chink-venezuelan Yong
>>721638017Yong is here for stay long time.He's actually become friends with the Casting Director for the ENG dubs now because the director is a fan of his and did his best to have him casted as Kiryu to begin with and fire the OG guy. Yong and him now became besties that hang out cause he sucked his dick enough to get him a job voice acting English Kiryu.
>>721624360Y2 and Zero are the only ones with decent writing. Every other entry is beyond subpar.
>>721623010Why the fuck rikiya looks like the chink who riced haruka in 6?
>>721636682I'm sick of them using real japs. They are NEVER cooler than their fictional counterparts
>>721623997>WhyThe guy was modelled after an actually well known character from a movie played by a great actor, why did they turn him into a generic mob?
>>721638709Because it was Nagoshi who had connections in the film industry. He had a degree in film production, he had control over both casting and the graphic composition of these games. Now he's replaced by a retard who studied marketing.
>>721638240Then the series is dead to me forever. I will not support this level of nepotism and DEI hiring. Yong is thoroughly UNFIT for the role.He's not even a true Asian ffs. The dude is an actual spic, even if he tries his hardest to hide it.
>>721638240>He's actually become friends with the Casting DirectorPROOF???
>>721638468>0 villain its fucking nonsense given he becomes the patriarch of tojo clan and does nothign to kill or punish kiryu after frustrating his plans nor mayima>2 everyone its korean
>>721638946pic related was taken by his casting director friend that he hangs around with. you can clearly see his feet at the bottom of the image.
>>721638709to cheap out
>>721638468>Every other entry is be-ACK!Also, Kenzan is pretty good.
>>721639156cheap out on what?the character was an OG design that even if it too inspiration from someone, wasn't directly face scanned or whatever so they could have just as easily remodeled him and it would take the same exact amount of time it took them to make that low effort dogshit.
Thanks RGG. Love the spam in my home feed.
>>721624050I play Yakuza games if they're good and 8 wasn't, but Japs will buy any garbage they're conditioned to.
They know the demake is trashy, that's why they're bundling it with the Gaiden game. If you bought other Gaidens, you'll buy this too
>>721639193How did they go from this to the absolute mess of LJ where Yagami sacrifices everything he believes in because he thinks Sawa-sensei is hot?
>>721640050>sacrifices everything he believes insuch as
>Kiwami 4 basically confirmed with Hamazaki's new model>it's only a matter of time until they touch 5
>>721640108Belief in justice? The legal system? Sawa-sensei lied on the stand and let it happen again and he for some reason thinks she is a mere innocent victim?
>>721640396They're somehow going to fuck the plot up even more
>mfw someone thinks sawa sensei was guilty of anything
Am I the only one that is kind of bothered by the biker gang minigame?As in, the idea sounds cool, I like bousouzoku stuff, but it's absolutely unfitting as fuck to the Okinawa setting and the period the game takes place in.They introduced that new Ryukyu weapon battle style system, to me it would have made more sense to expand on the weapon master in okinawa that teaches you few moves in the og game and maybe incorporate some hidden fighting arena in it rather than yet another "5 kings of shit" copy paste stuff. They've been reusing those bousouzoku models since Yakuza 7 I believe.
>>721641025Daily reminder Kuwana did nothing wrong
>>721638240Yong yea acting revision is trying to happen outside of this site despite how blatantly obviously bad he is. The people that only play yakuza dubbed(like the casting director) are trying to cope really hard about how he's either not that bad or that he's good by english dub standards.
>rewriting history
>here's your kiryu, bro
>sawa sensei
>>721641874You didn't call him wrong.
>>721641606>Japanese game, made by japanese peoples, for japaneses peoples, taking place in japan, with japaneses characters, talking about japanese mafiaWho the fuck would use the dub ? Specially with a fat korean hideous mutt trying to use a big voice and who can't even sing during the karaoke minigame
>>721641941https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg2ksfWRkFs
>>721641960he already knows he's wrong
>>721642098We will become everything you claim we are and worse when we take back power by the way
I fuckin told you all they'd fuck up 3's aesthetic. They fucked up 1 and 2, how did people not see it repeating for 3? All the Kiwami teams can think of is modern shit on top of the old and then you get this mess, and yet people begged for a K3 because OOH NO THE ORIGINAL IS UNPLAYABLE, TOO MUCH BLOCKING.Fucking hell, the best you're getting besides maybe the Mine episode is the modding scene unfucking some stuff, but that new Okinawa combat style is retarded as shit too.
>>721642194don't care. let it be so.you don't spend decades shitting down on people's throats only to then not have that turned around on you.
>>721642348You underestimate the power of the pissed off liberal boomer whose social security you're fucking
>>721642194>when we take back powerLMAO you are NEVER going to have power again. your own kind is already sealing that for themselves already and God Himself will make sure you demonic freaks won't get a chance again.
>>721642098Does any other voice actor out there make their entire personality revolve around a singular role of theirs like this guy does with Kiryu? Shit's embarrassing, it's the kind of behavior you'd expect from of a 16 year old's roleplay account, not a 30-something year old gook.
>>721642621that gianni guy, sort of.
>>721642295>They fucked up 1 and 2K1 and K2 are nothing compared to Ishin Kiwami in how much they ruined stuff. I still genuinely can't believe they thought any of their additions were good. It's like they never touched the card system their entire playthrough, touched the elemental swords, or actually used Wild Dancer. The very fact they changed Kondo and Takechi for characters who effectively spoil what is up with their characters as soon as you see them and then changed like half the cast just to have people from 0 and 7 which stick out like a sore thumb is insane.The only good things they did with Ishin Kiwami are triple the drop rate, add equipment drops in the Battle Dungeon so you can grind Virtue significantly faster, make some of the various completion requirements halved, and allow you to seamlessly enter Don Quijote and a few other buildings.
0 really did ensure we'll never get a decent yakuza thread ever again huh. even the big 500+ post thread yesterday that was mostly decent had the shitposters and schizos show up late and start their script. fucking depressing man. i don't know why i even come here anymore.
>>721642736Doesn't really count, he has never voiced Duke Nukem in anything beyond shitty twitter memes.
>>721642725Sad that it was confirmed Kanda is still getting murked in the remake
>>721642883he voices some angel robot called Gabriel in ULTRAKILL and would sometimes repost a lot of retarded gay fanfiction surrounding him and saying things in support of said gay artworks as his "official voice".
>>721642725don't worry, he's not thinking of raping Kiryu's ass, the just wants to give his feet a little massage.
>>721642603You call everyone satanic. It's your version of calling everyone a Nazi
What the fuck were they thinking?
>>721642821>omg nooooooooo!>how DARE you criticize their shitting choices for designs and story writing and how DARE you notice replacements and things going wrong???>uuuughhhh!! nooooo! you must simply just consume and consume what you're given over and over again like an automaton NPC with no opinoooooonnnnnn!!just move on over to r/yakuzagamesyou'd fit better in there with the faggots who want to stay in La-La Land about this series going to absolute dogshit.
>>721637675These Jap devs aren't based enough for that
> First ever non Kiryu/Majima character to get his own standalone brawler game > First Villain to get his own game > WILL be resurrected > WILL have an important role in yakuza 9How is he so powerful?
>>721643334i'm not even buying this. i just hate that you people never shut up about politics and spam twitter screencaps like bots. every single thread.
>>721643016That's a better example, and MAN that sounds faggy as shit, guess it checks out for an actual vasectomy victim lol
>>721642821Zero by itself is a fine game even if it misses the potential it had in being a prequel to mostly tell its own original story in a very awkward way. But it seriously fucked up what some fans expect out of the series, and what RGG tries to appeal to.
So, are the kiwami made by team B or just all the talented peoples left RRG ?
>>721643473Akiyamabros...Tanimurabros...Saejimasisters...we lost
>>721643516>why do you post about politics in a game focused around... politics???? wwtf???
>>721643697why don't you go back yourself since you're so familiar with leddit clearly.
>>721643697This has nothing to do with any political issue mentioned in the series. If you want to discuss how Yakuza 7 and 8 criticize the socioeconomics and political culture of Japan don't post Western culture war drivel
>>721642792Adding the card powers to the entire game is the worst part imo. Turns story battles from serious into silly shit when you see Takechi fucking fire swords or beams at you amid the emotional final battle.
I bought Infinite bullshit and never againI don't even have much faith in their new project century bullshit whatever they wanna call it.
>>721643841>immediate deflection of the subject>"no u!"KEK. consumer grade cattle status: RAPED.
>>721643697>Game about socio-economic factor in japan and the life of those who loose in this system>LMAO FUNNY DRUMPH THING IAM RIGBT ?
>>721643994you literally post twitter and leddit screencaps all day. you'd clearly be happier on either of those sites instead of here since you're so obsessed with them.
I mean I already played Yakuza 3 a few years ago and therefore don't care about the story so Sega's expecting me to pay 80 maple bucks to do combat copy pasted from TMWEHN just in Okinawa this time which I already explored. If Dark Ties is more TMWEHS kino and not short fluff like the Majima Saga in Kiwami 2 then I'll care when it's half oft.
Unironically the most humiliated yakuza character.> Is associated with the most retarded plot twist in the series > Has the worst gameplay in all of the games he's in> Always in the shadows of Kiryu and Majima > Gets peed on by a baby tiger > Will never receive his own gaiden > Is remember for almost raping the cunny
>>721643692If they do a gay den for 4, it has to Akiyama. He kind of drops out of the story there, there's a lot they can do
The novelty of Yakuza 3 came from the technological jump from PS2 to PS3 I'm hoe. No point in remaking it now.
>>721644287>Always in the shadows of Kiryu and Majima
>>721644287>they dub 4 in english>YOU GOTTA GO ALL OUT KIDO, NO BREAKS ON THIS TRAIN WE CALL LIFE, GOT IT?
>>721644175>80 maple bucksMy brain is rotted. You obviously mean Canadian currency but the first thing I thought of was Maplestory.
>>721644428He is.> Oh right, it's the guy who's as strong as Kiryu > Oh yeah, it's Majima's sworn brother
>>721644287None of that matters, he fat so I don't like him>nooooo it's all muscleuh huh they all say that
>>721644287But I loved playing as Saejima in 4.Yakuza 5 can eat a dick.
They will never make me hate Saejima
>>721644378>I'm hoewhy did you decide to mention that
>>721644464referring to it as "balls out" is extremely offensive and transphobic, mmkay?we will have to cut that out and replace the expression with something else more "proper" for our foreign fans.
>>721644604Ps3 characters looked so good, I take those over modern photorealism everyday
>>721644683>tfw you remember the orphanage walk animation
>GUYS YOU DON'T GET IT, THEY HAD TO RECAST HAMAZAKI BECAUSE THE OG ACTOR GOT INTO TROUBLE>Remake recast actor has multiple sexual harassment controversies>Kanda's OG voice actor is back to play Kanda despite actually being blacklisted from the industry
>>721644632because the content of the post is IMHO
> Main subplot of Dark Ties is NTR'ing Daigo by having a fat ugly bastard rape Mine's ass
Free my nigga
numazaki is gonna look fucking retarded in 4
>>721623010I played Gaiden and 8 and it made we swear off the series forever. Without Nagoshi, RGG has lost their way. The only game I'd consider buying would be 1&2 HD if RGG ever brings it to PC since emulating 1&2 still sucks.
>>721639193Haven't played that one. Do you recommend it?
>>721644848he's so ugly I actually prefer his replacement
>>721644963Yes and make sure to play Lost Judgment afterwards
>>721639056Nice try. Every other entry has CONSIDERABLY more retarded plot points.
>decide to try out yakuza 2 >entering a new street requires a loading pauseit makes sense but damni'll get used to it
>>7216448957G was great though. Well except for the gameplay, that was just meh
>>721639193>Kenzan is pretty good.Well, until the last hour. Then it sort of just gets dumb outside of literally the last minute or so.
>>721644745Didn't Kanda's actor (accidentally) get involved with the IRL yakuza?
>>721644963It's the best game they've made so yes.
>Here's your $80 remake bro
>>721623010You know, I am actually excited for it, but only because of the hopefully updated combat system. I just couldn't get past the third’s combat, it filtered me so hard. I wish I had never started with Zero and then played Kiwami 1 and 2, nothing sucks the fun out of games for me more than getting a shittier and shittier combat experience with each game.
mods will fix it
>>721645134Fair enough but I choose to forgive the retardation with that last dungeon and random oni ninjas because the rest of the story was kino. And the fight with Kojiro was god tier.
>>721645209how the fuck is the old one more expressive than the new one?
>>721645215For me it's the expanded orphanage. Never thought we'd get more peak Haruka
>>721645209I think even besides fucking up the identities of the characters themselves, the biggest problem with this shit is making them less unique. Rikiya now looks more like Yuta from 6 in some ironic bullshit and at the very minimum like other characters we've seen before, Hamazaki looks like any disposable fuckwit from the DE games in general, Shigeru looks like someone reused from IW or Pirates despite technically not being so. We straight up tossed out the unique appearances of at least 3 separate characters to make them look more like asset reusage from entirely different game casts.
>>721645297It's a shame Kojiro wasn't the final boss because man, if he was that would have been the best way to end it.
Will /ourguy/ live in the remake?
>>721645067>Well except for the gameplayThat's my biggest gripe with it. Story wise it wasn't terrible and it was nice to actually get the dissolution scene done over that actually felt like a big deal unlike in 7, although turning Kiryu into Inspector Gadget/Spiderman was a really strange move I didn't see coming and didn't really feel fit the Yakuza vibe.
>>721645372OG Rikiya is a unique model with actual proper rigging instead of a mocap like the new one
>>721645502depictions of death are considered "offensive" to our foreigner fans, so we will have him survive instead. he will only lose his hand or pinky finger instead of his head.
>>721645521>turning Kiryu into Inspector Gadget/SpidermanI liked it. Now that he's older he has to rely on more than just raw power, makes sense. 7Gs main problem was the lack of optional content. Or the fact that optional content sucked
>>721645502>>721645583He's dead, one of the screenshots is from his death cutscene, unless of course they retcon it into being his hand.
>>721645735>7Gs main problem was the lack of optional content.It feels like if it had released earlier, it would've been a side story DLC actually integrated into Yakuza 7, like Majima Saga in Kiwami 2 or Kaito Files in Lost Judgment, but the idea came too late and they ended up making it a standalone game despite only have a small DLC worth of content.
>>721645372people kind of forget just how expressive the PS3 engine was.
>>721645458Seriously. I have no idea why they thought a boss that literally has one single attack would be a good idea for a final battle. I get they were trying to make him as pathetic as possible but just ending the game at Kojiro and making the rest a cutscene would have been much better than whatever the fuck they went with. Kenzan is great otherwise since Musashi actually killing people and regretting it is something they haven't done with any other protagonist other than Saejima but with him they backed out of that last second. Also that semi final cutscene with Musashi stopping an army by himself was kino of the highest order. Translation patch never ever.
>>721645735>Now that he's older he has to rely on more than just raw powerI thought it fit the JRPG job vibe of 7 perfectly and would've made a great job for Kiryu in 8, then they just simply didn't use it at all in 8 and cast the entire plot of Gaiden aside.
still haven't played the originaland i got it for 10€ for ps3
>>721646121PS3 version is super cutdown, mistranslated/poorly localized garbage.K3 will be garbage too. The Remastered version is actually the best for Westerners, it's only missing the tranny substory.
>>721646070>Gaiden and 8Made simultaneously by different people which is why they don't really reference one another. Retarded, I know.
>>721646070That's because Gaiden was made after 8 so it had a weird disconnect. They kill Hanawa in 8 but then they make his character great in Gaiden, the Daidoji capabilities are way off, and no gadgets like the rocket shoes.
>>721623010They're calling it Yakuza again?
>>721646070>cast the entire plot of Gaiden aside.Kiryu said "huh that guy died did he" in 8 so they totally treated that story with respect
>>721646070>and cast the entire plot of Gaiden aside.>bring back Morinaga surviving the plot of 5 after all, and that he might be a good friend of Kiryu with the whole Daidoji thing>fake out his death once>OOPS LETHALLY SHOT AND KILLED JUST FOR THE FUCKSIES OF IT LATERYou can tell Gaiden was hardly a priority to the IW team and they just grabbed shit from it to dispose of.
>>7216460708 was finished and nearly ready to ship with Gaiden started development. Really they should've thought about that before going balls to the walls with Daidoji characters and lore in Gaiden knowing none of it would not only not be in 8, it would be directly contradictory. Even the ending. In Gaiden, Kiryu goes to Hawaii for vacation. In 8, he's there as part of a Daidoji mission which he doesn't even complete because Ichiban does it for him while he fights Ichiban's foil.Really, 8 is just trash through and through.
looks soulless as usual, but i wonder if they're gonna make the kino part (the orphanage) even more kinoer
Where is he?
>>721646236>PS3 version is super cutdown, mistranslated/poorly localized garbage.thats why i took so long to play it and only paid 12€did they remove some version from steam? or i will be forced to pirate? (i'm sure i saw a version for 3€ on steam sometime ago)
>>721646605don't know yet, lol. writer hasn't thought that far.
>>721646637>did they remove some version from steam?Remastered is still available: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1088710/Yakuza_3_Remastered/But you might want to get it before Kiwami 3 comes out. They'll likely delist it once it does.
>>721646712Yokoyama is such a hack.
>>721646727well fuck>11 februaryguess i'll get it in christmas sale
>>721645136Yeah, mainstream japs are mad as fuck about him getting proper jobs again, they demand proper explanation from Sega's higher ups now. Image board chuds are making jokes about it mirroring the games which had subplots about rehabilitating former criminals. Ironically 3 was the first game that featured it, with the Honest Living Association questline.
>>721638240Then we have to cancel the casting director, its the only way to save dub for dubfags
>>721645743They don't even need to retcon it to a hand, just say it was a rubber head.
>>721646869>under nagoshi he looks like a manly, rugged man>under yokoama he looks like an effeminate faggot
>>721623010Why do you make threads about shit you hate? That's fucking weird.
>>721636064It's funny how much Sho Kasamatsu looks like Kido and they didn't save him for that.
>>721641874Lmao his parents worked for the Chavez dictatorship, fuck him
>>721647143to shillare you new here?
>>721623010No amount of gaslighting will convince me that Yakuza 3 isn't abysmal dogshit gameplay wise
>>721647143RGG Studio is run by a lolcow now. If it wasn't for the language barrier, everything they do would be going straight into some kiwifarms collection.
>>721623010I wonder how they're gonna handle the "Kiryu learns English" substory in the EN dub. I won't be playing the games dubbed ever so someone will have to let us know how it is.
>>721647309I heard that the dude is apparently pretty petty and egotistical but not talented enough to back it up.
>>721644287>worst gameplayNah his moveset is amazing and feels great, what he has is the worst sections in both games
>>721647350Probably like Yakuza 7 with the American tourist, Kiryu will do some stupid grin and give a thumbs up to break the 4th wall and let you know he's aware of how stupid it seems.
>>721640846Yagami was absolutely laying into her hard before she was killed. What, he's just not supposed to care or treat her as a victim after she is murdered?"Welp, this person did one bad thing in life and is now victim to the worst crime possible. Guess she got what she deserved!" That's not justice.
>>721647350The English he has to learn is Australian and the sentence will be written upside down so that you can't tell what they mean unless you literally turn your head around or pay close attention, which you can't cause they will make choosing them timed, and if you don't select one in time, Kiryu just stays silent like a retard.And when he actually does speak the Australian English, he will attempt to speak it in an Australian accent when he can't really do it, making it sound retarded.
How do you response without sounding confused?
>>721623997No moustache fat man, no buy.
>>721647797Wakatta.
>>721647282And that's good. Don't listen to these revisionist faggots who never actually played the game. Yakuza 3 is fucking awful to actually play, ESPECIALLY the remaster with Kiryu's gimped dodge because of the frame rate.
>>721624156Yakuza was made for women. The devs were shocked when they went to France or something and all the fans lined up to meet them were men. In Japan women are the primary audience.
>>721647797I love this scene because it implies Richardson can understand Japanese but refuses to speak it and also for some reason Kiryu can understand
>mfw
>>721648067Kiryu can't understand English, he just heard "Mine" and "Daigo" then saw the guy pointing up to the roof then put two and tow together.
>>721647282>>721647925I literally played the game for the first time couple years ago (HD port), and it played just fine.
>>721648138
>>721647641What bugs me is that Yagami tries to pin Sawa's death on Kuwana when literally it was Soma and RK, no one else, he should be more pissed at public security being shady as hell and using murderers and offing civies for their gain than Kuwana being a on crusade against bullies
This series is a fucking joke now.
>>721648180Kiryu learned a bit of English in 3
You can't make this in 2025.
>>721648297you can see the flesh on the corner of his eyes dislocated from his upper eyelid when he gapes his eyes like that, lol. these models were so badly rigged. also, he has strabismus.
>that time Kiryu became an aide of the CIA to stop an evil black market arms dealer with military hardware in Japan
>>721623010Yakuza is a yearly release asset-flip slop franchise
>>721648287Delusional.
>>721648406I really wouldn't be surprised if K4 axes or rewrites this scene, honestly.
You now remember that the final fight of 3 does not take place atop the Millenium tower.
>>721636682xi jiping
>>721648352My take is that Yagami doesn't necessarily 100% believe that, but using Kuwana's own logic against him by throwing it in his face. Kuwana did not kill directly Sawa in the same way that the bullies did not actually kill their victims, but his actions caused her death. In the end Kuwana finally admits he didn't want any of that to happen which is exactly what all the bullies said when their victims killed themselves.
>>721648648True. Let's just hide the fact that a man locked up for 20 years would go a little feral over an attractive young girl after all that time with nothing and no one because it's uncomfortable. Now that we can't see it, this means it's not a thing anymore. All uncomfortable facets of reality simply do not happen if I pretend they don't exist.
>>721648406This is problematic. It will be removed 100%.Cannot risk people seeing Kiryu as a pedophile, even if it's just a clear misunderstanding from a dumb person. Only Saejima is the one allowed to be seen as such... for now. The remake will fix that nasty scene as well.
>>721648689At least it finished on a ruff.
>>721647925>Kiryu's gimped dodge because of the frame rateCap it at 30 or install the mod that fixes it. Yes its dumb that RGG couldn't fix it themselves, but its such an easy fix and the Remaster is so much better than the Western PS3 release otherwise.
>>721647452He's so severely narcissistic that japs, who don't believe in psychology, started posting textbook definitions of narcissism. Guy actually started calling himself God (Kami, without the -sama) and now chigyus are jokingly calling him that. He's doing a lot of little things that are bad for PR. For example when Nagoshi invited celebrities to promo events, he was always polite and used proper honorifics. Yokoyama talks to them like they're buddies, interrupts them a lot, especially if they happen to have different opinions and takes about the characters they play. It's part of the reason why no self-respecting actor is cast for these games anymore, all they get now are some B-listers and disgraced celebs desperate for any kind of work.
>>721648689Its funny that everyone says all the final fights are on top of the Millennium Tower when its only 4. A chunk of the rest are IN Millennium Tower but not on top.
>>721648845Saejima is not like that... He might of have intentions to murder all those people, but deep down inside, he ain't no pedophile... He's truly a better man than most of us could be.... Not even prison could turn him gay or pedo-like.... We should all strive to be better, more manlier men and gentle souls like Saejima-san.
>>721649079I'd be okay with this being left in, as long as they left in the crazed tranny chasing Kiryu all over town.Got to be fair and balanced, show both sides, you know?
>>721649079Does that mean He can drop kick "it" ?
>>721649079
>>721623997I prefer the bottom guy over the Old Chicago guy who looks like he's about to slice into a deep dish pizza.>>721624360tl;dr>>721626585>They just seemed to plop the cows down there without any further thoughKiryu still has his MT $100b bag. Idunno, I'm never replaying Y3.
>>721649167>as long as they left in the crazed tranny chasing Kiryu all over townbro... they already removed that from the remaster version that came out a few years ago. they're sure as hell not putting it back in for the kiwami.
>>721649151Saejima is just misunderstood.
>>721649380Watch them remodel this guy's face in the Kiwami to look more like Shinzo Abe.
>>7216490232 and 5 are fought on top of Kamurocho Hills. You also seem to forget that in 1 the fight against Jingu and MIA was on the rooftop, then Kiryu went back inside to fight Nishiki.
>>721649224Yes.
what's with the obsession of the final fights for this series having to end on some kind of high place overlooking the whole city? weirdly enough, Kiryu's Gaiden had that as well, albiet in a small segment, not at great high, but enough to be still considered that.
>>721649023I was about to give Someya credit for being a final boss inside the tower but then I remembered he literally isn't the fucking final boss. Whatever man, he had the cooler fight and song by goddamn miles.
>>721649739>obsessionIt's called a trope. It's an action movie classic.
>>721647350It's gonna be turned into "Yong Yea learns to stop being a fucking hack" questline
>>7216462760, Kiwami 1 and 2 all got a Director's Cut with the Yakuza name.
>>721649739I wouldn't be surprised if the finale of Die Hard influenced moviegames. Die Hard was one of the coolest movies ever made back when it came out.
>>721649739Having a cool set piece for the last fight is almost as important as the last fight itself. Are you a woman or something? Do you lack the intrinsic ability to understand why this is cool?
>>721649898is the dogshit schizophrenic writing and 'rubber bullets' also a "trope"?
>>7216497395 actually has the characters fight each other on a rooftop just to draw the villain out as part of a nod to this habit. And besides what >>721649898 said, where else is there to go but the top when the ambitions of man attempts to seep into everything once again? From up high, you not only get a striking visual, but the symbolic idea that our heroes had to fight their way to reach that apex. Y3 even just about starts with a rooftop fight with Majima just to show what Kiryu's leaving behind before having to literally fight his way back up again at the end.
Redditors don't know that Kiryu, Ryuji and Akiyama teamed up to throw a homosexual off the roof of Millennium Tower.
>>721649612I did not forget. We were talking about final fights on the roof of the millennium tower. You changed the topic to Kamurocho hills and penultimate fights.
Can't wait for the scene that reveals Kashiwagi in the hospital waking up just fine.
when's HE going to appear in the Yakuza games as a side story NPC?
>>721624050The move to ichiban was awful, the stupid fucking rpg turn based moves is disgraceful, Hawaii fucking sucks as a location and all the enemies being monsters and weird shit is way too much. Take me back I couldn't play blockuza more than once though unfortunately
>>721637675I remember the OJISAN poster
>>721650651The intern that posted the April Fool's Day RPG image of 7 should be hung and gutted in the street.
>>721648870I remember when the schizo trannies removed Haruka's devil costume from Dead Souls that someone modded into Y4.Also, I'm 94% sure they will remove this extra costume from K3 as well.
>>721623997That guys whole tank top, friendly fun uncle look is genuinely important to his character, what the fuck are they doing. This might genuinely be the worst remake of all time, especially because it has so much deliberate effort put into making it worse.The okinawa gang are the most unique and friendly looking bunch in the series and they are just turning them into generic facescanned people. If I ever decide to play this, which I doubt, I'm pirating it fuck this. I can't believe of all things, facescanning would be what kills this series.Nagoshi-sama come back, we were too harsh to you.
>>721636064jomon vs yayoi
>>721647050Why include rubber at all? Just say he tanked that. Better yet don't even bother trying to explain why he survived like Richardson
>>721650415Rubber bullets. Trust me.
>>721651112Ryukyuans are their own thing, these islands are closer to Taiwan than they are to the rest of Japan.
Anybody who buys this dogshit is no yakuza fan
>>721650415Well we already know he survived, so obviously they will. Same way everybody who died in 0 was revealed to have survived in the director's cut even the nobody characters like the loan shark. Nobody dies in the Yakuza universe anymore! And if they did die, then actually they didn't!
>>721651062>a significant portion of 3 takes place on a beach>nobody is allowed to wear swimsuits because that'd be pedophiliaI hate the modern world so much, it's unreal.
>>721644850why ar they so insistent on recasting people that look way older then the people in the remake. K2 also hass this problem.
>>721632258970 really was the greatest then huh? Played 8 on my 970 on medium with a stable 60.
>>721651294that ship already saield anon with turn based combat and being forced to play with the afro retard
>>721651410All the Dragon Engine games have had the 960 as the minimum. They still all release on PS4, so there's no reason for PC requirements to increase.
>>721651478The move to ichiban and turn based was a real slap in the face to fans of the series for 20 years. I hate ichiban, he's not even likeable and the turn based and fantasy enemies are fucking retarded
>>721648352Sawa was figuring out that Kuwana was behind the murders and that could eventually lead to her figuring out about Kusumoto which is why she got murdered. Her connection to Kuwana's serial killing got her killed when she was otherwise innocent. Yagami's constant focus on her death was absolutely overused when he could have brought up countless more things, including the fact that Kuwana nearly let Yagami die at least two times during the story (Sawa's apartment and then later the ship bombing) despite being an innocent man, but the point of Sawa was to hammer home that Kuwana's moral grandstanding and justice allows him to justify deaths or actions similar to his bullies making him a hypocrite.The main problem with LJ's story is just that Yagami is so laser focused on Sawa when he has so many ways to dismantle Kuwana's idiotic sense of justice. Even something as simple as "You've spent over a decade murdering bullies yet no one even realizes bullies are being killed" or "Despite your entire set up with Ehara being major news no one is scared of bullying people." would immediately dismantle any of his arguments for what he's doing or moral grandstanding because it proves he's just a killer for the sake of killing.
When will we see footage of the bikini bar and the cabaret?
>>721651669>he's not even likeableThis. His "endless positivity and the power of friendship" shtick is really annoying in a series that usually takes a much more realistic view of the world. His antics turned the series from a crime drama with lighthearted moments to an anime.
>>721652560They have been removed due to the Western audience not liking nudity or heterosexuality in games.
>>721650120>top overlook but also the dark corner outside the limelightkino

>>721636682left: manga exaggerated thugright: Aoyama/the first gangster from Kiryu's storyline (that you don't even fight)
>>721653154I hate the segway so much, it never seemed to move properly. I though something was wrong with my joystick, but walking and running were fine. The skateboard was better, but still, if you need a mode of transport to move faster through the map, the map is too big.
>>721653295>the first gangster from Kiryu's storyline *in Y5I might've got his name wrong, but that's who this guy reminds me of.
What the fuck did they do to Haruka? She was sex incarnate in Y3/4/DS and they turned her into this goblin...
>>721653267>he doesn't rememberThey were at their peak in the mid-2000s.
>>721653267that's why it's a weird makeshift one
>>721653267South Park did a Segway parody episode in 2001 Anon, Segways were old by then
>>721644663>"We are making Japan: The Game in accordance with western sensibilitiesUnironically behead this guy, it's so fucking clear he is just a marketing obsessed retard, bring Nagoshi back please.
>>721653416They already had a kid DE model, this looks nothing like her.Is this whole game a push to change all the custom made characters over to face scans of real actors once and for all?
>>721623010>Another tendie seething thread
>>721653568Y3 version was older than that one
>>721653614How? It's literally confirmed to be on Switch 2, just like 0, Kiwami and Kiwami 2. This is the next game for Switch.
>>721642821Y0 crime was being popular and not on switch for years
>>721653651Only by 2 years, and the beginning of 3 takes place right after Yakuza 2. She should only be a bit taller, not a totally different looking person.
>>721642821I'm glad the series has gone to such shit that I've lost all interest in it.
>>721653757Nah she looked very different between OG games and it's not just a difference in graphics, she looked older. "only" 2 years is the difference between a kid and a girl going through puberty
>>721626257YESSSS RUIN MY YELLOW GENES WITH YOUR NIGGER TBC
>>721653154LMAO WHAT TEH FUCKthey buffed him up way beyond what he used to look like in the OG
>>721653890Is this a joke?
>>721653890that face does not fit on his body at all
>>721653890WHAT THE FUCK
Are any of the remakes worth playing? Also 1 or 0 first?
>>721653890Wait, they also changed his voiceWHY RGG ?
>>721653890It's the guy from Tokyo vice and Meegan tha stallion video
>>721653887In 3 and 4 her model is identical despite it being 2 years between the games. Obviously she looks different in the PS2 games, but in the prologue of 3 she's supposed to be 2 years younger and barely looks different.And there's still the problem that her face is completely different. Like in 5, you can clearly tell that it's Haruka despite her being 16 and way more grown up. They took away her signature strong/angry eyebrows for K3.
>>721654112No.Only start with OG 1 if you plan to do the release order.If you're at all unsure, Y0 is the way to start. Play on Hard mode.
>you can customize your cell phoneLMAO for what fucking reason???it serves ZERO purpose.
>>721645372the team back then knew what they were doing and tried to put as much life and personal stylization into the game with the time and budget they had at their disposalthey higher these budgets grew the more aaa - which the yakuza/rgg franchise has become now btw - the more they steered towards state of the art tech for the sake of ityakuza 1-2 and 2-5 had a distinct visual presentation which they completely guttedits mindboggling
>>721653890I hate this shit so fucking much, I can only hope this sells so fucknig bad they axe the retarded marketing graduate producer instantly. But I know that won't happen because everyone loves eating remake garbage.It genuinely feels like this remake was made with pure hatred rather than hoping to fix a lackluster game.
>>721653890Funny how Mikio basically looks unchanged. He might be the only character spared in this travesty.
>>721645372Nowadays, developers don't know how to animate faces by themselves anymore, everything must be a scan of a real person, everything must be a copy, they are no better than an AI
>>721654269it's probably like the charms you could equip in Y0
>>721654269Its fun?
>>721654269>ZERO purposeliterally says on your screenshot what it does...
>>721653890Wtf why does he look like Kido?
>>721638848I like this pasta
yakuza would've been better if kiryu groomed haruka to replace her mother as his gfsearch your feelings and you will know I am right
>>721654716Kido was also modeled after his actor, different gook, rook same.
>>721654112If you plan to play the entire series, og 1 with the undub patch first. Kiwami 1 has some decent story additions but it adds a fuckton of unnecessary bloat. Kiwami 2 is shit. The Ishin remake is the worst one of the bunch, just emulate the OG with the translation patch if you want to play that one. Also, play Judgment first if you're not sure about the series since it's genuinely the best game RGG has ever made.
>>721654606>weeehhh why can't you read moonrunnes?? weeeehhh!!!
accidentally stared at some Yakuza 3 Haruka foot stuff while scrolling somewhere else, anyways damn this remake looks worse in a lot of ways
>>721654552>fun is being a little sissy faggot who like to play barbie dress up
>>721654886Kiryu should have sold haruka to Bob utsonomiya for sex purposes
>>721654886not everyone's a filthy pedophile like you, subhuman.
>>721624050You can take away the Ichiban/JRPG shit and it would still be the same. There's just too many of the games at this point for them to sell well every time. Why would I drop $70 on the new game when I can just play the last 10 or so (if you include Judgment/LJ) again? You can dump thousands of hours into the series pre-7 if you go full completion autism.
>the new Rikiya face model and VA acting like a faggot for Kiryu in that one cutsceneWhat a horrible change
>>721623010Yes, this Kiwami was promised to us 3000 years go
>>721629028unironically when people don't understand this it outs them as brown. they don't joke around and act gay like whited do because they're all closeted
>>721655229New Hamazaki eating the duck head. I can't imagine this guy pulling it off.
>>721648527>time is short so the CIA fly Kiryu and Haruka to Tokyo at Mach 3 in a weird Blackbird/Aurora hybrid>once there they just hang around in Kamurocho playing arcade games, singing karaoke, and doing illegal gambling for hours
still excited as fuck for this remake because I hate the gameplay of 3 so much. yeah the new actors are gay but still an ez day one purchase for me
>>721644663>axed lmao

>>721656146
>>721656158I fucking hated that cunt. Majima should have beaten her more.
>>721656158it gets worse. majima had the right mindset on how to deal with her for doing what she did.
>>721656158Only retarded women get to borrow millions from Akiyama
>>721656317Kiryu should have thrown her into the sea It's totally out of character for him to leave the children alone because DURRRR YUME

>>721624050Don't care it's better than any other turn based game, mogs E33 hard
>>721656519he left haruka alone with saejima though
>>721655061Post reeks of insecurity
>>721656707Saejima had a dream too.
>>721656519 Honestly, the whole “YUME over everything” arc was peak brainrot. Kiryu, the man who would bulldoze a police station to protect a child, suddenly decides to vanish for the greater good because some chick with a grudge guilt-tripped him. Absolute clown shoes. Should’ve gone full Beast style on her and tossed her off the Millennium Tower for good measure.
https://www.nexusmods.com/yakuza3remastered/mods/224?tab=descriptionCome home, white man, no excuses now.
>>721642621Goku
>>721656780>the man who would bulldoze a police station to protect a childIt's even better. Immediate before 5 we had Dead Souls, in which he goes through JSDF barriers and is ready to unleash zombies on the rest of Tokyo just to reach kidnapped Haruka.
>>721656887>we restored the transphobia! horray!fuck off you hateful prick.
why are people calling the mine side-game a “gaiden” game? would you nigger marketers also consider majima saga and kaito files to be “gaiden games” or…?
>>721637878I like it fine in the shorter/sillier Gaiden games, but mainline games are a different story, for the reasons you listed. I'll change Kiryu into his respective original outfits in Okinawa and Kamurocho
>>721623010>dark ties is mine KINOWe are so fucking back yakuza bros!
>>721656887I've seen something similar for the PS3 version but didn't know the PC release got that too. Nice.
>>721656158She is the one that ruined haruka and subsequently ruined everyone else's live thanks to haruka acting like a retard at the end of 5
>>721656887Oh shit. I had no idea this was possible.Instead of K3, I know what I'll be playing.
>>721623010>Not too surprising, since it's a butchered de-make.still gonna play it because slice of life at the orphanage sounds fun and mine stuff sounds fun. i already have the original with mods to play that.
>>721657031It's literally called a Gaiden game multiple times throughout the RGG Summit, not our fault the same localizers that greenlit "Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii" still haven't gotten their down syndrome vaccine.
>>721657020>my wholesome japanese yakuza would traffic women and extort money and borderline beat people to death but they would never EVER EVEEER say tranny!
>>721657031Do you know what "GAIDEN" translates to?SIDE STORY
So what's the deal with people saying to just skip 3, 4, and 5? I only played 0 and Kiwami, by the way.
>>721657020Hating troons is based. Fuck them freaks
As soon as the games became multiplat I knew the series was on borrowed time.
>>721657373who is saying that lmao? yakuza 3 is the worst game but you should still play is since the characters are good and why the fuck would you skip games in a story focused series?
>>721657416This. People say 0 killed the series, but it wasn't 0, it was 0's PC release in 2018.
>>721657373I don't care what anyone says but 5 is fucking based. Hunting was pure kino
>>721657085Mine was written mostly by Nagoshi, based on an initial pitch by Yokoyama. This is Yokoyama going back to his discarded ideas.
>>721657373They are merely retarded. 3 is good, 4 and 5 are retarded story wise but the gameplay and side content is fun. All much better than 6.
>>721657478>who is saying that lmao?redditors who cannot handle the "jank"
>>721657373only whiny bitch babies and zoomers who can't think for themselves say that.
Y3 is so soulful looking, guess im replaying it :O
>>721657373Either retarded or trolling. 4 and 5 are among the top Yakuza games and Yakuza 3 is the best game ever made.
>>721626257>I can’t wait to see it improved “I just can’t see myself anywhere near a filthy black person!”
>>721648406It's gonna be removed for sure.
>>721657543>4 and 5 are retarded story wiseand SECRET CIA BROTHER wasn't?
>>721657416if you're a real doomposter its been over since dead souls, otherwise you're just a poseur.
>>721657373It's the retarded mindset that you should immediately skip to the "best" games of a series for the best experience but also ignore the weaker entries.
>>721657604
>>721657743As much as I hated dating hostesses, I went out of my way to bone the one this kid was obsessed with. I knew he was creeping somewhere around, watching.
>>721657765It was but Mine was such a kino villain that he saved the story. 4 and 5 don't have memorable antagonists. And even if the Kazama brother twist was fucking retarded the boss fight was kino of the highest caliber. https://youtu.be/wCqsFk2SkQg
>>721657690Id do anything to go back. We had to sometimes wait years to get a western release but at least the games were high quality.
>>7216579435 has the best antagonist because he doesn't even know why he's the antagonist.
>>721657781Dead Souls is the best zombie game ever made. Even the installation screen is kino.
>>721658047>why are you even here?>I'm not sure myselfYokoyama-san, you've done it again. I kneel.
>now they have to do Kiwami 4 to keep Hamazaki's face consistent>Tanimura is probably going to have a 3rd face
>>721658424now you too, the player, can get to experience Ichiban's schizophrenia, in real time.
>>721658424They're going to have to recast ALL of the actor likeness characters. Munakata, Arai, Kido, Yasuko.
>>721653154>The new weapon style isn't you equipping different weapons and using them freely but instead it's the automatic wombo combo bullshit from 7Gaiden where you hold down the button and see a long gadget animation play outWelp, it's over before it was even released
>>721626257>CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW THEY CENSOR IT FOR MY SAKE!!!!
good thing about having rgg games is you will never miss any news about more rgg games.
>>721657031Anon gaiden mean side story
>>721658620>nagumo/someya/yuta/kiyomi/etc. are all gonna get their faces swapped in a future kiwami 6
>>721653416she lost her soul, she looks plastic now. the light and joy in her face is gone
>>721657373>Yeah bro, my favorite streamer played those game, which one can I skip ?
>>721645045I always have this sort of reaction when someone caveats their praise of Lost Judgment by saying that its story isn't as good as its predecessor because "weaker story than Judgment" also applies to every other game in the franchise, it's not like it precludes it from still being top tier in that regard
>>721641874>>721642098Now post where he complains about either Quiet or was it Ashleys panties in Resident Evil?
>>721657373Probably the combat. I stopped playing 3 after a while because it felt like ass right after playing K2, but I picked it back up after a break and finished it. So no, there’s no excuse to do that
>>721657505>Mine is the most "Nagoshi written" character>fan favorite villainnooticing
>>721658620>Kiwami like a dragon/yakuza 7 will change Ichiban face
>>721658993For me the K2 combat was excruciatingly bad. PS3 era games felt refreshing after that.
>>721658828I hate it.
>>721658828fuckI miss the ps3 era so much, game were beautiful
>>721659094>it turns him back into beta/original announcement Ichi
>>721659098Same. I'm a PC fag and started with 0 and went up from there. I loved 3 and 4's combat compared to Kiwami 2. Dragon Engine was a mistake although Lost Judgment finally made DE combat good.
>>721659105why can't hair work like that in games?
>>721659191Why does he look vaguely judeo-italo-palestinian?
>>721659191>ichiban if he look his ageStill boggles my mind that Ichiban is older than Kiryu was in 5 and he's supposed to be the "new young successor"
>>721659105>with ia, we will be able to force Rikya's real face back
>>721659331retarded devs obsessed with throwing characters into prison for half their lives
>>721659105HUMMINA HUMMINA
>>721659454TOP LEL
>>721659105the collar ribbon thing just phases out of existence
>>721659443I think they should make a game set entirely in prison. Doesn't matter if it's about a new convict fighting to establish his place in hierarchy, or a bunch of old cunts planning a breakout.
>>721626257Genuinely what do they expect this to change to? The whole point is that she's insecure about her own deformity that she lashed out at him over that, and everyone is shocked by it and realizes she was harsh for it when he was the only one that stuck up for her when other kids bullied her.
>>721659584>or a bunch of old cunts planning a breakout.Would actually be pretty fucking kino.
>>721659656Prison economy. You don't beat up thugs for 10k yen. You fill the whole hospital wing over a single cigarette.
>>721659652>being black is a deformityuhhh... racist much??
>ichiban sucks>Turn based sucks>Hawaii sucks It's over.
>>721659843Hawaii sucks, but some locations outside of Japan could be cool. Set a game in Seoul or Bangkok or something
>>721659843Stranger than Heaven will save RGG. Trust the plan.
>>721660045>Trust the plan.Yakuza 2 ending tier
>>721660045Zere iz no chenge in ze pran
>>721660037No anon every game will be set in a western shithole. You want Japan: The Game to branch out into other asian countries? Sacrilige, enjoy yakuza 9 in new york.
>>721660037They already hinted at a Akiyama Gaiden in Singapore in 8. It's gonna happen.
>>721624360I started yakuza at 3 and didnt even remember half the story cause if its reading a textbox the devs dont care so I dont either and I skipped that shit and just played it too beat the fuck outta niggas
>>721660124>enjoy yakuza 9 in new york.The crazy thing is, just a week ago there was a rumor circulating on 5channel that there was going to be a remake of Dead Souls but set in New York based on some location popularity poll.
>>721660124>Japan: The Game>When there have been Koreans and Chinese as a major part of it since the start
>>721623997>new lookFucking soulless. They missed the fucking reference. Fucking assholes.
>>721659843>turn based combatThis is why I didn't play that new yakuza game. That combat fucking SUCKED
>>721660124The only other acceptable part of the US for a Yakuza game to visit is Las Vegas.
WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE NPCS???I swear OG YK3 felt way more cramped and alive than this.
>>721660406Majima wanted to go to Vegas in Dead Souls. And in the same conversation he ridiculed the idea of going to Hawaii because it's a boring, mainstream tourist trap.
>>721660328Ah yes, Japan is famously known for having no past with the Koreans or the Chinese, makes no sense to include them.
>>721660487This has to run on the Switch 2, pls understandu.
>>721660487Why the fuck did they change Kiryu's shirt to blue?
>>721660235How the fuck do you remake Dead Souls but in another whole new location?That means they can't properly reused the motion capture data for some of the cutscenes since they're specific to the environment. Maybe they'll just model certain parts to look like the OG ones needed to match the motion data to but change the rest.
>>721660495>Yokoyoma falls into the tourist trapHoly fucking kino, Nagoshi-sama...
>>721660608To sell it to you back as dlc.
>>721660487I FUCKING HAAAATE THE OBSESSION WITH HAIR FOLLICLE GRAPHICS, GIVE ME A DENSER WORLD, USE THE TECH FOR STUFF THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS
>>721660487Do the Japanese just casually leave food on the stalls like that out in the open with no one standing outside to guard them or at least try to peddle that shit around while sitting on a chair and all that?
>>721660328It would be like complaining about the presence of English and French in a game about Germany.
>>721660628I would be inclined to say that the whole rumor is pure bullshit, but then the Pirate Memejima leaks were also considered too retarded to be true.
>>721660487Yakuza 3's NPCs were tied to framerate right? I remember there was a weird reason 3 and 4 had a bunch of NPCs on the street at all times
>>721660608holy soul..... i already feel nostalgia just seeing that......
>>721660697Fucking hell. This is the consequence of simultaneous releases I guess. At least they don't make you go to 5 different stores to buy store exclusive DLCs yet like they used to in Japan.
>>721644287>> Is associated with the most retarded plot twist in the seriesthe fake bullets?
>>721623010>Yakuza 3>Dynasty Warriors 3>Metal Gear Solid 3>Dragon Quest 3>Persona 3What’s going on here?
Alright just started the part 3 of yakuza 5how many hours this idol bullshit will take if I rush it ? I want to play Akiyama
>>721660769>we need to spawn as many NPCs as possible onto the streets to keep the game running at exactly 30 frames per second for our console overlords
>>721660816This is the consequence of a jap who studied marketing running the series. The hecking wholesome twitter trannies will pay the extra 20 dollars to get their different colored shirt so why not sell it?
>>721660718The Okinawa club has a hostess from Kanto who talks with Kiryu about how Okinawan culture is crazy compared to mainland Japan. It's mostly about being relaxed to the point of laziness and the high trust society.
>>721645372mocap
>>721645372also back then the game wasn't as big and didn't get sucked off cause haahahahaha look reddit funny shit
>>721640050wouldn't say he sacrifices everything, but he does go through the exact same character progression he had in the first game with the whole "justice system is gay and broken" shit again
>>721660697>activates creamapiGet fucked RGG
>>721660940why this old game which originally ran on a ps3 has functional mirrors but recent AAAs don't?
>>721645209>OG has eyebrow wrinkles>new one is baby smoothbruh...
>>721642725cant wait to see Kazuma dry humping this pig again
>>721646712if they remade all the games again why wouldn't they streamline the story
>>721661164To this day Yakuza 4 is the only one that had a very good version of rainy Kamurocho.
>>721660940Haruka is only half the chapter, Akiyama gets the other half and a bunch of stuff by the end.Remember, DON'T open lockers as Haruka, because you cannot transfer any items she gets to characters who can actually use them until the very last chapter.
New actors suck but I'm glad they are focusing on the actual source material this time (expanding the orphanage stuff and Mine Gaiden) instead of shitting all over it like they did with K1 and K2.K1/2 were literally just reskins of their direct predecessors and pandered so much to 0fags that they forgot the games they were supposed to be remakes of.I know there WILL be cut content in K3 but at least it's looking like they actually give a shit this time. Disregard everything I said here if they cut Revelations.
>>721651128kanda will come back as a bartender or arms dealer in yakuza kiwami 7 (2042)
>>721661164this is an encased room with little in it so they can afford to just plop down a reflection plane that directly renders to entire scene you're standing in without frame drops.if you were to be in the open world and plopped down one of those your game would massively chug in performance since it has to render the open world a second time inside of the reflection.
>>721648454pc fags are fags, news at 11
>>721661374If this sells well, they'll do a remake every year. Kiwami 7 will release in 2031 for the PLAYSTATION 4!
>>721661313they remade an entire model for Mack in Ishin Kiwami, so why not bring him back along with revelations? are they retarded?
>>721661313There's no way they'd cut out Revelations. That's like one of the most well known parts of earlier Yakuza games and 3 started it to begin with.
>>721661313wait... i though Kiryu was supposed to not let it be known he was ex-Yakuza to protect Haruka or whatever... so why is he doing that in his blog?
>>721661473oh no, it's not like the ps3 has 256mb of ram and we have 16-32 gb on average, which is between 64 and 128 times morethe developers are just lazy/indian
>>721636540Bros is this real? I'm literally shaking and crying how did they do this without raytracing please is the lost technology real?
>>721654012they never do unless it's kiryu or the 'fictional' characters.
>>721661679i have no fucking idea what's going on in that screenshot. this is just overload for your senses.
>>721657416PC fanbase (trans) taint all games they touch
>>721661295These guys are so tough, they don't even use umbrellas. And that's saying something
>>721661803a ps3 game looking better than most modern game
>>721661881Light and reflection in the rain ? HOW ? WITHOUT RT ? B-B-BUT THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE
>>721657484mgrdark soulsanything that comes out on the PC that has something unique or memes, steamies will beat you to death with it
>>721661313>focusing on the actual source materialanon what in the fuck are you saying, the game is the source material, you fuckers just say anything and think it makes any sense
>>721661742You can fake ray tracing lights for next to no performance hit at all by placing a directional light under the floorboard or behind the walls of the room, disabling the shadows, lowering its brightness then changing its color to something that fits and then it will softly illuminate the pitch black shadows by giving them some color like the raytracing dogshit does when it bounces light around from the main "sun" light that's used in the scene. People making it are just retarded, yes.
>>721661295the rain in Yakuza 4 unironically looks better than the one in both PiH and IW. i'd say the one in LJ and Kiwami 2 looks on par with the Y4 one though
>>721662010it's a cubemap, chud. not a reflection.
>>721661881And you wanna know what the craziest part about all this is? The LADIES LOVE it.
>>721661615Anon... are you just regurgitating shit you hear from these threads without actually knowing what they relate to...
>>721662108The one in 4 ran on a glorified bluray player.
>>721662112Who's care ? I always have the impression that the lighting reflects in the wet ground and without making me lose half of my fps
>>721646727i doubt they’ll delist 3 remastered, yakuza 0? probably since they dont want them to buy the version thats>30 dollars cheaper>30gb less bloated>no cringe english dub>no gay cutscenes>no DOA online modeso i’d expect the jews at sega to fuck newbuyers over
>>721657020Kys tranny sodomite ywnbaw
>>721623997Fucking terrible. Why would anyone fuck with the demake if they can just play the original remastered which is already on steam? The demake looks worse and they absolutely fucked the character designs.
>>721662218They will delist it because Kiwami 3 will remove all the problematic stuff (as if removing the tranny substory wasn't already bad enough) and they won't want anybody to know there was a better version.Same reason we'll never get 1&2 HD in the West, Kiwami 1&2 replace them as far as RGG is concerned.
>>721662112I don't care if they are not "real" reflections, I don't care if they simulate how real reflections work in real life as long as it looks good. If it looks like a reflection and looks good it can be a fucking jpeg for all I care. Not like any other visuals work 1:1 to real life.
>>721662085Its a cutscene you fucking idiot
>>721662360Yes it does. Since the PS3 days Yakuza games have had DLC bundles and stuff sold after the fact in Japan, but when they come to America, they're complete games because it's years after the fact.Now that the releases happen at the same time, we get to deal with the same bullshit Japan has been dealing with for almost 20 years.
For Haruka's part in Yakuza 5, can I just rush the story jobs or do I have to farm to increase my stats because it's impossible to compensate by playing the rhythm mini game well?
>>721662548You can just rush the story.
>>721662548if im not mistaken you dont even need to win the idol showdown thing to progress with the story as there's no gameover or nothing
>>721662548you can just rush the story, but then you miss out on the idol job where you can have her say she likes older men and would have sex with one
>>721662396I think good visual design in games died along with film set design, when it was replaced by much cheaper CG solutions and color filters. If you think about it, both movies and games used a lot of clever tricks to pull off amazing optical illusions.
>>721661881>>721662010The reflections there are sort of faked. It looks like Screen Space Reflections combine with a pre-rendered cube map. Basically, what they did is that they first plopped down a real time reflection plane, like you would use for mirrors, rendered it to a 2D texture cube map then applied it to the ground so that it reflects said texture. The Screen Space Reflections were then applied for things that move in real time like the NPCs and items like that sing on the right you can normally interact with during fight and pick up. The things that are static were likely rendered together with the cube map texture.The rain on the ground itself is not a real 3D thing with geometry and whatnot like modern games might like to brag about how it forms puddles in real time or whatever. It looks like a somewhat simplistic shader where you just crank the roughness of the texture down, to tell the engine how crystal clear the reflection should be, like, for example, you want it closer to what water reflects like, or what plastic reflects like? Then they added a simple Normal Map with a Noise modifier to it that let them add and fake all those water ripples in a modular fashion. Then all that's left is to tell the game engine to have said Noise modifier slowly move to cause the ripples to wrap around as needed.
>>721662458>Yes it does. Since the PS3 days Yakuza games have had DLC bundles and stuff sold after the fact in Japan, but when they come to America, they're complete games because it's years after the fact.I still don't understand what you're saying here.Yakuza's PS3 DLC in Japan were free. That free DLC was either a pre-order DLC or full paid DLC for American version released years later.And going back to your previous post, having exclusive shop DLC wasn't really a thing outside of shit like MGS or MonHun on PSP with in-game T-shirts collab bullshit. It usually was only a small physical bonus like a pin or A3 poster.But going back to the topic at hand, simultaneous release doesn't matter, because Yakuza 6 and 7 already had the same bullshit DLC practice while those were release exclusively in Japan first.
>>721662439it's done in real time you handicapped faggot
>>721662458Nothing's as bad as Ishin's Deluxe Edition including DLC that you can only use on a single playthrough. I think they got the message on that one, but they still sell that bullshit.
>>721662823>The reflections there are sort of fakedWho cares? They look good, which is better than having no reflections at all like every game made in the past 15 years does.
>>721663078Sega is doing damage control hard right now. The reaction to K3 has not been good.
So is Dark Ties a separate game taking place at the same time, or something packed into Kiwami 3?
>>721663290packed into Kiwami 3. it is also a prequel to 3 but takes place after 2
>>721663290Packed into K3. It's like Majima Saga in K2.
>>721663290packed into the game same way that majima game for kiwami 2 was.
>>721663374>>721663393If it's Horii or Takeuchi writing then it's ogre.
>>721662823again why would we care if the game look good and if we don't loose half of our fps due of it
>>721662886https://youtu.be/AQJw_KzB9u4?si=EnDTKxqte3xC8KWK&t=2028If you have a humiliation fetish, I assume this got you really hard and you can go ahead and masturbate to this reply.
>>721663356I hope I can play it all from the start and don't have to finish kiwami 3 like the majima saga in kiwami 2
>>721662761True, never really connected both movies and games losing visual sauce at the same time. Both mediums looked a lot more interesting before too.
>>721662063I'm simply saying K1/2 focused on other "source material" more than the material they were remaking. Really not that hard to understand.
>>721662823Why would it matter if the polygons on my screen have "fake" reflections. Less demanding solution that looks just as good = can be used more freely for better visuals.
>>721663070>>721663586>someone gives you wisdom and insight on how shit works>"duhhhhhh!! who cares!! bleurueurheu!! who caress!! not me! not mee! eeehahhehha"you are so fucking retarded beyond description, you 100% deserve the morbid fate this series heads down towards. if you have literally nothing good to say other than to graze your own ass in a reply, don't say anything at all.
>>721663763see >>721663849and fuck off.
>>721663517>or TakeuchiDark Ties was entirely written by him
>>721663921You know what maybe I am too hateful, gomennasorry explanation anon.
>>721663990>entirely writtennot entirely but he is the main writer if i'm not mistaken.
>>721663849They're not completely wrong, even if they can't articulate it better. These older solutions are still perfectly adequate for games that don't feature modifiable environments (like Minecraft) or a full day-night cycle.>>721663990Shieeet, then they're recycling the mobile RGGO stories, those were written by Takeuchi as well.
>>721653890>>721654054Holy fuck they ruined him. What the fuck is wrong with devs?!
>game immediately overlays ugly green filter on the second the dynamic intro endsholy shit they didn't even try
>>721664256They want the female audience.
>>721663374>>721663393Gdi. I really didn't want a third copy of Y3 in my collection.
>>721664350Is that supposed to be Mine? What the fuck?
>>721664350The fuck is going on, even Mine has grayish hobo hair now.
>>721653890why does modern rgg has this problem of taking characters and turning them into supermodels? Rikiya used to be just some guy and now he's this thing. same with other characters like Majima and even Kiryu to some degree. Majima used to look all fucked up and ugly and now he's looks younger and handsome for some reason
>Mine story is written by the new writer they had on for Infinite Wealthall hope is lost
>>721664359I doubt any female audience cares for remake Rikiya.
>>721664572IW was KINO
>>721664479he changes his style after meeting the Nishikiyama family thankfully
>>721664479It's Mine before he got his Dark Tie
>>721664359anon they already HAVE the female audience. all they wanna do is pander to people who dont even play the games by putting well-known actors in their games
>>721664479it makes no sense to me. Mine before joining the Yakuza was some up and coming businessman big shot. Why would he look like some boy band emo dude?
>>721664572Before real games, he was writing the mobile fanfic for women. If it really is Takeuchi doing it, but it seems weird to me because he's already confirmed to be the main writer of Stranger Than Heaven, he should be busy with a different project.
>>721664824Rikiya's new actor is a literal who in Japan. Very few people recognize him.
>>721664824>>721664591They want the gay audience
>>721664828Date was even showing his pre-yakuza photos to Kiryu, he looked the same, just wearing a proper business suit.
>>721664628Hawaii is pure dog shit
>>721664828now his company is made up of newgen young entrepreneurs, so it kinda makes sense of him to dress like a wimp
>>721664992Hawaii was better than Yokohama by a country mile.
