Was Kiryu always that based?
he was, until he became a little faggot
>>729524065Y8 final boss scene was MUCH worse.
>>729524238EBINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!YOU MUST BE BETTER THAN THIS, EBINAAAAA!!FORGIVE THE CRIMINIAL ORGANIZATION, EBINAAAAAAAAAA!!
>>729524437AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND FORGIVE ME TOO WHILE AT ITEBINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
dame da
>>729524437>>729524509Kino...True masculinity on the display
>>729523628BETTERMAN.
>Daigo, apologize for misgendering Goromi right now! We must be better Yakuza.I felt so valid during this scene
>>729524437>>729524509Fucking hell kiryu. Does this really happen? RGG studio has fucking lost it.
>>729524437>>729524509Did no one speak up or decide to step in and say something against raping his character like with this awful script?This was clearly made to appeal to retarded women who just want a telenovela shit with feelings and emotions first and logic second, or not even that, logic just gets thrown out the window, cause if they did use that, they would know not to have Kiryu end up in this position.But seriously, not even his VA had any form of say in this? He just went along with this garbage? Does he just not actually care about his character or what?
>>729524437>>729524509I don't even care about his outburst, this faggot should have never been the final boss, the hawai side ended like shit too... what a letdown since it was actually an enticing story till then.

He had "terminal" cancer be a bit nice to him
It's crazy how fast this series has gone from being GTA for weeb hipsters to becoming the gold standard for low effort, westoid pandering, Reddit slop
>>729524802>>729524917It's clear as day that Ichiban was supposed to be fighting that guy, especially since they went out their way to create a whole narrative around how he's his half brother and everything... Yet nothing actually comes from it.They made Ichiban fight the one boss which Kiryu was supposed to be fighting cause Kiryu's mission was to actually investigating the whole nuclear waste business and deal with whoever is in charge of it, and Ichiban was supposed to go fight his half brother. Even the dialogue itself and emotional meltdown with the crying and all that looks exactly like what Ichiban would have done and said in the moment there... But the retards likely change it last minute just cause they still don't have any faith or confidence in Ichiban being able to carry anything, so they had to go out with a bang and end the game with Kiryu on the main screen yet again.
>>729525210It all went downhill from the final cutscene of Y5, where Haruka throws away the player's effort of making her an idol just so she can fuck off and get preggers by Chang in Y6
>>729525210The worst possible people you couldn't think of got attached to this series. Genuinely how the fuck are you supposed to even gatekeep them out?
>>729525491>this ugly Japanese mad who was made to look ugly to signify that he is "evil" kind of looks like Ben Shapiro (Jewish American man who has nothing whatsoever to do with Japan)How the fuck are they so mentally fried?
>>729525479>where Haruka throws away the player's effort of making her an idol just so she can fuck off and get preggers by Chang in Y6I still can't believe it's actually canon.
Fuck this im dropping infinite wealth if that's what happens to kiryu.
Infinite wealth really hurt Ichiban's rep since it shoved him aside to push Kiryu again.
>>729525479>>729525762you don't understand. it's meta commentary on how awful the idol industry actually is, and they try to show you that throughout the game as well. you're meant to agree with Haruka leaving cause the devs wants you to agree the climate of said industry is garbage that shouldn't be engaged with or have your life wasted on it.
>>729525875He ends up in the hospital after his final boss fight and the game makes it so all his old buddies, Saejima, Majima and Daigo just stay behind and look as he gets transported away via chopper instead of going with him.Yokoyama instead has the new cast of fuckboys and whores be with him at hospital instead in a petty attempt to emotionally manipulate you with the tension of the moment into thinking this new crew is actually Kiryu's bestest and most closest confidants ever... Despite the fact you only spend like one game with them, and the fact they are actually Ichiban's group, not Kiryu's.Kiryu's old friends are just relegate to the background basically and made to act as if they don't actually care he's about to die and that they should be there with him in what they believe might be his last moments.
>>729525920 It’s the most baffling part. Ichiban was set up to carry the torch, had actual character growth, a full emotional arc, and strong supporting cast… only for them to shove him into the background like a sidekick while terminal Kiryu takes the wheel again. It’s like they got cold feet mid-development and went full nostalgia bait. Feels like a betrayal to both characters in the end.
>>729525920>>729526201Don't forget the part where they're too afraid to commit to his relationship with Saeko so they just make it so he fumbles the bag and turns the whole scene into a humiliation where he's a jester and the butt of the joke that you're supposed to laugh at.
>>729523628I hate this dumb trope so much. Why can't women be evil and get punched in the face too?
Pirate Yakuza really was the last straw for me. Just that game existing tells you all you need to know about the state of this studio. Where their heads are at.>b-but Dead SoulsWas clearly supposed to be an Undead Nightmare scenario. Pirate Yakuza is not only canon but it's also boring as shit and does nothing inteeresting with its redarded premise. I honestly don't know how you pull off making a Pirate Majima game fucking boring.
>>729526119Fucking hell, man...
>>729526304I wish they would have let Saejima just beat the shit out of Majima in their boss fight.Like, even if you did win it in-game, you'd just lose in the cutscene, same as they did in 7 with Ichiban VS Kiryu. It just makes no sense that Saejima would go along with Majima's demented pirate story thing. He'd just try to beat sense into him, both physically and metaphorically and then just tell him to stop being a fucking retard.Also, they make that tiger cub literally piss on him, which is supposed to be a "joke". But it feels like nothing but major disrespect for the character, especially when it's in a cutscene of the main story and not relegate to some side story.
>>729525927Then she should have quitted when they "suicide" her manger, not after hyping up the fucking concert all game, also, she quits because her relationship with Kiryu would be a scandal, not because idoling sucks
>>729526454Saejima has completely been cucked beyond comprehension. He goes from being the guy Majima is shitting his pants over at the thought of him getting out of prison to being his cucked sidelick. He's not even the strong one anymore after Yokoyama's latest oc Shishido overpowered him with one arm in Gaiden.
>>729526679Shishido is fucking great though
>>729526597 (samefagging)Also, her revealing the scandal (which she knew would) makes paparazzi start swarming her and Morning Glory, and that's why she leaves to fuck ChangFuck, I'm mad now
>>729526679I haven't actually give this much of a thought, but now that I think back to it, you're right. Comparing what he is now to what he used to be like in the older games, there's definitely been a huge change, especially since he used to be this big scary guy like you said while he still had the whole thing going for him related to homicide and prison time.I don't mind the idea of him mellowing out a bit for somehow becoming "softer" as he gets accustomed to society again instead of prison, but the way they went about it is just garbage that ended up doing nothing but castrating him.
>>729526679>Shishido overpowered him with one arm in Gaiden.Saejima is 50+ dude. Shishido is young Yakuza BVLL. There is no reason why new generation should be always weaker than the old one.
>>729526201Part of me kind of gets it, they wanted a proper send off for Kiryu, but they did it in the worst way possible.
>>729526902>Yakuza BVLLHe got fucked in the ass by a twink looking faggot, lol.
>>729526751He's ok. Underdeveloped as fuck. His actor carries hard. Doesn't change the fact that they make him unrealistically overpowered for no reason. Remember that the series power level based on fights has been Kyriu = Saejima > Majima. Saejima and Kyriu are about equal. Majima is slightly weaker. So how does he completely cuck Majima and Saejima at the same time but get btfo by Kyriu?
i stopped giving a fuck about this story after even first kiwami due to >what if there's someone out there being relatable to the character from previous game!!!!!!Just fuckin stop man, even 0 and first kiwami already laid out all gangs, names and all of that story and suddenly they wanna expand that shit even more for god no reason
>>729526679he's a terrible character and shouldn't have been a thing at all. a downgraded kiryu for whatever reason.
>>729527071His trauma from getting implied raped in the ass by a homosexual and used as his sex slave gave him superpowers.
>>729527214Nah, he's cool. Rhe writing just severely lets him down after 4.
>>729527329yeah cause he's one dimensional(well maybe two) and he has nothing over kiryu again a downgraded kiryu. the prison shit is shameless. i have no clue why they made him.
>>729527378Saejima is based af in 4. Sybau.
>>729527452shut the fuck up you waste space. go help your mom and do your chores
>>729527514NTA but Saejima in 4 is the best MC, but suffers from Samson syndrome, cut his hair and he becomes a weakling fag
Unc probably hates SaejiGOD because he feels like less of a man when he looks at him
>>729525875If you played "The man who erased his name" that is the best ending. Kiryu goes on a two-year vaction trip, then visits Hawaii and dies falling from an electric scooter
>>729523628>>729524065>>729524248
>>729526751No he's not lmao can't believe people are still getting fooled by a boss fight into believing he's well written.
>>729527965He's great ≠ He's well written.
>>729528082Even less of a reason for him to be "great" then when he makes zero fucking sense and you can't tell whether his voice acting is good or not because you don't understand moonrunes. What's left? "He's great because... I like his tattoo and one song associated with him"? Yeah amazing qualities for a *character*.
Anyone else get woke vibes from Kaito files?
>>729527883jfc this was supposed to be the end of entire yakuza series but fucking hell they are milking it nonstop.
>>729528234Welcome to the post-Yakuza 0 fanbase, kyōdai.
>>729523628There already was a Yakuza thread you idiot.>>729512207
i have played 1 or 2 yakuza games but not for long. i was enjoying Gaiden despite knowing barely any series lore at all. i dont like the turn based ones i prefer real time combat.
>yoooo there already was a Yakuza thread, bakadoru
>retard can't even spell bakayarou and instead types the name of a Y8 song Oh no no no no no no no...
>>729528704idk who the fuck gave an idea to turn yakuza game into another generic turn based slop back then
>he thinks I'm weeb>he thinks I have a small dickKEKYPOO BADARORUUUU!!!
you will never be japanese lol
Eat my Japanese shit!
>>729525920>Ichiban fights the guy Kiryu was after and Kiryu fights Ichiban's half-brother.Dumb.
>>729524437>>729524509Does Ichiban even know Ebinus is his brother? Also him carrying Eiji to the police station is retarded when he'd just be shanked in prison by one of the ex-yakuza he fucked over anyway. 8's story completely falls apart the more you think about it
>>729528704Imagine someone going through Gaiden as their first game lol
>>729529741>Does Ichiban even know Ebinus is his brother?No. lol. It's only revealed to the Kiryu that he is Ichiban's half brother then nothing happens with that information.
I know its his entire shtick but Ichiban forgiving that dude at the end was fucking stupid.
>>729529741>>729529909They're trying to write him as some kind of Christ-like figure but they're Japanese who don't actually know what Christianity entails or how it functions so the way they go about writing it falls flat.
>>729529762its technically not my first. i tried some of the previous games but never got more than like 30 minutes in. im one of those people that believes you should start something from the start it'd be like starting jojo at part 7 i understand . but i just cant be assed man. maybe ill play them someday but if i were to play one again i would just go back to gaiden. the gameplay was fun.
>>729529252And that's a good thing, Japan is the only country actively fighting against islamization
>>729528912TBC RPGs have not been common in a long time. And Y7 was fucking fun, breath of fresh air.>>729530057Gaiden quite literally plays like most of the Yakuza games in general. You should give Y0, the original version, a shot.
>>729526902>There is no reason why new generation should be always weaker than the old oneReminder that Kazama shot up changs solo at 50+ to save kiryuThe worst part about this franchise not retiring characters is that none of them will ever have any growth. TV soap opera writing is fun for video games as long as you don't fall into the trap of endlessly recycling the same characters.
>>729530267idk anon gaiden is looking bretty good right now . . .
>>729530732LMAAAOOOOOOOOO
>>729525491>>729525685Yakuza 7 is entirely about how right wing nationalism is bad and that makes you mad five years later. Cope.
Ichiban has been in more games as DLC than he has games of his own. I am firmly convinced 9 will be his last game
>>729531105>Ichiban Fatsuga>>>729531154>Gordo Majima
>>729531191
>make friends with younger weeb>he loves Wan Piss, is a Sanjifag>says he wants to go to nipland>show him my Yakuza irl folder from my trips>wants to play them, opens Steam in front of me, asks me which one should he start with>since he loves OP, I tell him that the first MC in Y4 is just like Sanji>buys it right then and thereI should have said Kiwami or Y0, but at least he will enjoy it
>>729531394>show him my Yakuza irl folder from my trips>not posting pics in this threadwhy are u gae
>>729531478There's one here >>729526815 already, can post mere
Are they making a return?
>>729531564Derp, meant more
I wish I could post the videos
>>729530732That's because Yakuza 0 is delisted so they can sell the inferior Definitive Edition no one likes
