And it’s all because RGG refuses to remove this piece of shit, but oh no, Pierre Taki took drugs? remove him ASAP!
gaiden wasn't very good, pirate yakuza was actively horrible and this looks like more of the same. that might affect sales. no one actually cares about blue sky boycotts. they probably work as free advertising if anything.
>>724693070Why the fuck is NG4 catching strays bro
>>724693012>mine>flopNo
>>724693115What's the big deal about minnie mouse?
>>724693012I think you overestimate the amount of people who care. It's not even the sexual assault that people care about, it's the recasts in general, this just gives them an excuse to act morally superior about it
>>724693012>Molesting hostessNo biggie and she deserved it>DrugsAiiieeee cancel himThat's nipland for you
>>724693070>gaiden>not goodwhat are you on about? it’s critically well received.Majima’s pirate game is very fun, the characters are also good, but I’d say the story isn’t that interesting. The post-credit scene was fantastic, though.
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/
>>724693197Rikiya recast wouldn’t be an issue if RGG got an actual Ryukyuan actor.
>>724693012>Assetfliping with an accent on shovelware content might backfireOh no
>>724693197yeah this is basically just a way to make not being against the remake socially acceptable outside of 4chan where game remakes are loved by default
>>724693012>mack cut>revelations cut>hostesses cut>hostess maker cut>country club golf cut>bikini bar likely cut>rikiya done GIGA dirty>nakahara done VERY dirty>hamazaki done EXTREMELY dirtynow you know why mine gaiden is included with it
>>724694368>hostesses cut>hostess maker cut>country club golf cutdon’t act like you’d miss any of these
>Yoshi in 20th century boysI stand with this man.
>>724694368Hostess Maker wasn't in 3 and I'd cheer if hostesses were gone. Holy fuck they were the worst part of doing all substories.
>>724694838>Hostess Maker wasn't in 3Hostess Maker literally debuted in 3 and then came back in 4 with Akiyama's side.
>>724693012I bought ishin for $10.Played like 5 chapters and couldnt bother to keep playing.For a story heavy game, that game has way too much bullshit plot holes for me to care and stay motivated.
>>724695321The story was always the worst part of Ishin regardless if it's the original or Ishin Kiwami. It just has some okay moments and good performances in the original.
>>724694368It's pretty funny to me that there's already confirmation that the Mine side game isn't getting a standalone release. I'd buy it if I didn't have to touch this wretched remake.
>>724693012>wait for a good sale/key price>wait for mods to restore original faces/VAI care more about the Mine prequel anyways though desu
>>724694838>>724694946And it was fucking dogshit. This better be like how 0 and Kiwami 2 was.
>>724695494I feel like that overexposes the minigame a bit. They should probably save it for Kiwami 4, that way it's every second game, rather than appearing 3 games in a row.
>>724693070Pirates is pretty fun, the problem is the story is terrible. Was more palatable when played while drinking.
>>724695536>rather than appearing 3 games in a row.Bro the last time it was ingame was in Kiwami 2 which was like 10 years ago. Rather have that than them do whatever the flying fuck that was the hostess system for 3 and 4 for how horrible it was.
>>724695601He's saying do it in K4 because a new player will play it in 0, then K2, then K3.
>>724695536>I feel like that overexposes the minigame a bitYou can say the same thing about the dating the hostess minigame which was in almost every game.
Pirate Yakuza seemed rough besides combat and even though Kiwami 3 will be better to play everything else seems neutered. Mine game is cool but I think RGG needs a serious break from the series instead of pumping out entries so fast. Hopefully we get a sizable gap while they work on VF6 and STH (which looks fantastic).
>>724695601I'm talking about the series order (well the current one at least). So 0, K1, K2, K3 and probably more kiwami's to come.The K3 trailer seems to show Kiryu as a host, so hopefully that's a full minigame (the one which was cut in K2), so that would fill the gap.>>724695651The cabaret club is a full on main minigame (which usually don't tend to return at all), the hostess dates are basically substory tier
>>724695713Host is very likely a substory instead of a minigame like Club Adam as both Japanese sites and the English trailer put it under the "Substory" banner.
>>724695494>>724695601>Looks up the Hostess club for Yakuza 3 and 4>It's literally just walking back and forth the show room as the gameplay and then walk back to the backroom>Video in question of 100 percent completion is 5 hoursI thought you were being a larper, but jesus christ people enjoyed this?
>>724695713>The cabaret club is a full on main minigame (which usually don't tend to return at all), the hostess dates are basically substory tierThing is in 3 and 4, you run a cabaret club, and go to a different hostess bar to date the girls there. In 0 and K2, it was merged to both.
>>724695771No. No one enjoyed Hostess Maker. It's basically just a step above The Marietta as a minigame and that was already bad enough since both minigames mandate guide usage or you're outright going to go bankrupt due to it not telling you what your girl's equip stats are until after you start the session and get told they're hideous. The point of contention is they're removing content and no one's sure if they're replacing it with anything. Even so, they're cutting content in general which is what pisses people off more.
>>724695771That was hostess maker, starting with Yakuza 0, they changed it to an actual engaging and somewhat fun minigame system where you battle other hostess cabaret clubs. I was hoping that would come back here as a direct upgrade that was the god awful hostess maker.>>724695857Yeah the fact you pretty much need a fucking guide to play it just shows how bad it was, and wouldn't mind if it was on the chopping block for Kiwami 3.
>>724695946>I was hoping that would come back here as a direct upgrade that was the god awful hostess maker.I'd rather something new, the cabaret club has been in too many games already. Even if Hostess Maker sucked it doesn't excuse all the other cut content like revelations
>>724696025Revelations being removed sucks I agree, but wouldn't mind at all of hostess maker or the running minigame was also axed too.
I don't know why they would cut revelations. They're just cutscenes, they can be copy pasted
>>724696092Only thing can say is if they keep the cutscenes and turn them to substories or something.
>>724694946watHostess Maker was in Yakuza 2, my PS3 version of Yakuza 3 didn't have hostesses and I platinum'd it.
>>724694368chinks would never pull this shit holy shit
>>724696207The Marietta is not Hostess Maker, it's The Marietta. It's the proto version of Hostess Maker. You didn't actually see the girls on the floor from what I recall, you had to stop them from being suicidal with gifts and pep talks, and you had to purchase things for The Marietta to keep it upgrading all of which does not happen with Hostess Maker whatsoever. Yes, it has the same outfit system but that's pretty much it.>my PS3 version of Yakuza 3 didn't have hostesses and I platinum'd it.Because it was cut from the western PS3 version. The Japanese PS3 version had it as does the remaster, and also the restoration patch for the PC and PS3 versions.
>>724695758Oh god, I hope not. It would be doubly disappointing if the host side job isn’t returning.
>>724696408>if the host side job isn’t returning.Hope it doesn't come back. That or completely rework it to something more than just being a walkathon rng simulator when you are without a guide.
>>724696482Host, not hostess, big difference.
>>724693301WOW the absolute weebcore prime Japan simulator series just has a moderately sized dedicated following and some internet memes in the west instead of broad normalfag appeal?!?
>>724693012This shit's already insulting.
>>724697586you don’t understand, it’s a flop if it doesn’t sell sixty bajillion copies!
>>724698303Wait what? Also isn't that already a dude in another Yakuza game?!
>>724699408They're re-casting ALL the characters with IRL uggos. Kiwameh keep raping the originals.
Anything after Lost Judgment is non-canon, sucks and doesn't exist
>>724699526Look how they butchered my boy
>Get jailed for atleast 10 years and written out of history for smoking weed >Have to drink beer with your boss every night or you get accused of undermining the efforts of your companyWhat a funny place this Japan is
>>724699563Nah 8 and Gaiden were preddy gud and fun, haven't played Pirate yet.
>>724699594>sexually assault 3 women>no arrests, just mild cancellation before returning to the spotlight>take drugs by your lonesome>jail time and life literally ruined beyond repairJapan isn’t a 1st world country
>>724693012Genuinely hope they go fucking bankrupt.
>>724700004In the original Yakuza 4, Akiyama refers to drag queens as “okama”, which is considered offensive, and then redubbed his line by referring to them with a more “accepting” term I can’t recall. You fags didn’t bitch about it back then.
>>724694368>You can now fight Amon without suffering through the abysmal controls for Presidential Golfer>You can now fight Amon without reading CyricZ's hostess guideI'm supposed to be upset about this?
>>724700161>Akiyama refers to drag queens as “okama”, which is considered offensive,Cool good to know.Okamas will never be women.
>>724701402One day I need to send CyricZ flowers.
>>724693012no, its gonna sell a decent amount despite being perfectly playable in the remaster.the average RGGer doesn't care about some rapist, they just want le wacky cuh-razy game
