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

>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
>>729530304>Reminder that Kazama shot up changs solo at 50+ to save kiryu Not to mention the only reason Joji exists is to glaze Kazama without having resurrecting him, so you can confidently assume Shintaro fought just like him and Kiryu ends that fight all out of breath admitting if Beautiful Eyes was younger he'd kick his ass.
>>729531564ah i didnt check. it turns out i am the faggot. dont mind me
>>729531720>>729531654Their skills were crap
>>729531810Y7 MASSIVELY improoved the lighting
>>729531805Nah, we cool, bro
I'm playing through the original PS2 release now and I'm surprised I didn't hear about this series until maybe 4 or 5, with 0 being when it finally hit the mainstream. It's rough around the edges but incredibly solid.
>>729531858>nice, comfy and warm orange light replaced with ugly LED phosphor garbage that doesn't make anything stand out
>>729531946>BJ Group BJNot very subtle are they
>>729531858JER was when the lighting got worse, are you kidding? 7G is when it got better again but it doesn't work at all in the mornings which is why 8G looks so bad compared to 8 in Hawaii.
>>729532104I have nothing against orange lamposts, but 7 is more accurate
>>729525927Nope it was just that Haruka didnt want to live having to deny connection to Kiryu she only left the idol industry cause she values Kiryu more than fame and money
>>729532237do they get paid to put these in-game?
>>729528912Yakuza 8 literally has the best turn based gameplay ever made anon, nothing generic about that
Can I emulate PS2 Yakuza titles with Japanese voice acting and English subs easily?
>>729532315We don't know, we just know there's some sort of licensing agreement that they seemingly have to renew which is why Don Quijote's music was removed from the remasters but the building is still there and 7 has no Don Quijote in Sotenbori yet it's fine in Ishin Kiwami. The food/drink licenses are probably way cheaper than actual buildings since I don't think they've ever removed any of the food/drinks from the games unless they were tied to real life restaurants.
>>729532153Nipland illegalized prostitution, but handjobs and blowwjobs aren't technically "sex", so you have "pinsaros" like this fine establishment in Kabukicho.Also, for some reason, gay prostitution is a-ok, Club Diamond wasn't hiding on their ads
>>729531946nice pics anon>tfw went to south korea earlier this year>despite being a weeaboo, not a koreabooit was nice dont get me wrong but i want nippon
What the FUCK did Kiryu mean by this?
>>729532407Yes, just grab the Restored versions. Just make sure when emulating them you play at native resolution, the lighting breaks across the board if you go higher than native resolution causing incorrect visuals, it affects how the cities look in general, and they have no plans on ever fixing it.1&2 HD lets you past native resolution easily with no issues at all but they're Japanese-only and the Restored guy has only tinkered with them and has no date at all for when he even plans on starting work on them due to how much effort it will take to get English into those games.
>>729532482Finally, a place where I can get my ham handled for half off!
>>729532315They have to
>>729531858What? 7 looks incredibly washed out.
>>729532237>Trash on groundGRIM GRIM GRIM SAD EVEN
>>72953258445$ for 15 minutes in the center of Shinjuku? It's a fucking steal!
>>729532482>handjobs and blowwjobs aren't technically "sex"will they swallow ?>>729531775ok so pirate or emulate?
>>729532692The colours are washed, true, but the blinding light of the streets at night is spot-on in 7
>>729532773Will you pay the extra? (Still probably not due to STDs
>>729532773What, 0? If you emulate 0 on the only English version available (PS3) you get access to the Walkman but it's 30 FPS only. If you pirate 0 on PC or PS4 it's 60 FPS and PC has mods but no Walkman on either.
>>729532664>drinking canned cold coffeeJesus
>>729531720>>729531810judgment's coloring is closer to the irl one.
>>729533134wdym? it heats up instantly the moment you pop it open. starts to fizz out like those military packets you open and then it's warm to drink.
>>729533134I liked it. Also, some machines also had hot cans
>>729533134Cold coffee is great. I used to make my own cold brew at home before I realized it was fucking with my sleep no matter how early in the day I drank it
>>729524065KWAB
Even the New Serena backstairs are in the same spot IRL, and probably a lot of autists tried going up for a rooftop fight, because it was the first CCTV I saw in my trip>>729533259I still need to play it enought to compare, the blue APA and lack of Don Quijote really hurt my autism. I even stayed in that same hotel because of Y6 (there's 13 different APAs just in Kabukicho))
>>729533631Shit, forgot the pic
>>729523628That's Ryōma thoughever.
>>729533293No, they discontinued that heating system a long time ago, now the vending machine has both cold and hot storages
>>729532728
>>729534018BlackRock paid them to put this in

>>729534373They all look 5 feet tall. As a 6'6 dude I'd look like fucking Godzilla in that crowd.

>>729534379>>dies before she gives you pussyhe's already got pussy
>>729528912I've read they were having a hard time getting team combat to work. They finally do have it down since The Man Who Erased His Name. I just hope Ichiban's story draws to a close with Y9. I'm not even sure what they're doing with him. He got reset at the beginning of Y8 and then again at the end of Y8; so are we just going to rehash everything for another game? The worst part of 8 was how Yokoyama just forgot about the CIA agent shit that had no resolution and makes no sense. Kiryu can just go back to Okinawa now because.
>>729534445Why not all the pussy? Yagami is a confirmed polygamist Chad by lore.
>>729534440No, that was my biggest cultural shock. I'm 1'84m (6 foot tall) and I was normal amongst the crowd. I do have long arms and lifted the phone as high as I could for that photo. Pic related is at my normal perspective

Not to turn this into a /trv/ thread but what's Japan like for tourists? I have 0% interest in traveling with Japan being my one exception. Probably just too much anime/vidya influence but if I were to visit I wouldn't want to visit with this idea that Japan is like some themepark for tourists to fuck around in.
>>729535180I feel the same, I want to be respectful and actually don't like anime or manga all that much. My plan if I go is to focus mainly on shrines and museums so hopefully that's not being an annoyance
>>729525491>Ichiban was raised by whores>Kiryu tells a trans woman she should follow her heart and not be ashamed>Majima crossdresses, but he's not treated like a fag by the devs>prostitutes, idols, many yakuza members, foreigners (especially Chinese and Koreans), and the poor people at the bottom of Japanese society are often portrayed in a positive light>Haruka having a child out of wedlock with a Chinese guy at a very young age (basically taboo in Japan) isn't criticized at all>Kiryu still refuses to punch women to this day, and Nagoshi even said he could never become part of Smash because of thatThese people are not completely wrong. It's clear the team always had some precise values in mind, and this kind of fans automatically blew them out of proportion, but they are part of the main core of the series.
>>729535606Having these Western liberal values in a country as socially conservative in Japan is considered edgy, and Nagoshi/Yokoyama have always tried to be edgy.
>>729535180Just be respectful to their customs (look up some videos) and you'll be fine. Every single sign is written both in nip and burger. Also, as a basic rule of thumb, if an establishment has a sign or poster outside in english is gaijin-friendly, if it's full moonrunes, they'll probably tell you to kindly fuck off in the most educated way possible
#KEEPKAGAWAYakuza is so based for keeping him
>>729535316You can go to a temple and be a massive piece of shit, or spend an entire day in akihabara and just behave like a normal person, anon
>>729523628>>729531654You don't hate Ishin Kiwami enough.
>>729535986lower on looks like some kind of 3D printed plastic figurine at first place,,, wtf...
>>729535970>Korean did itMany such cases
>>729535316Exactly. I'd definitely want to visit some more historical places but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't visiting because the media I consume hasn't heavily romanticized it when I know it's just a place like any other, people go to work, come home, don't want to be bothered. And I'm including hentai in this, like smiling at a pretty woman will make her want to drag me to the nearest love hotel because I'm some foreign candy. Are those still a thing? No idea.Plus, unlike other countries I've visited, I'd stand out like a sore thumb.>>729535970Weren't they shutting down on tourism to some extent? I saw videos of some tourists bothering a bunch of locals and traditionally dressed geishas like they were mascots in Disneyland and more than anything I'd want to avoid being seen in the same category as those fucks.
>walk past batting cages irl, hear the exact same noises as in-game>inmediate goosebumps
>>729536259I remember seeing a video of tourists trying to fuck with actual yakuza just walking down a street and I'm amazed they survived it
STANDING HERE I REALIZE
>>729535180>>729535316I went before Covid, so I'm probably talking about a completely different world, but here's my two cents.Japanese people are polite, but don't mistake their politeness and helpfulness for kindness, because sometimes it isn't (although I met some genuinely caring Japanese who loved interacting with foreigners). If you can learn a bit of Japanese to smoothen things during your visit, they will be grateful to you, because most of them can't speak English and are terribly embarrassed when they have to deal with foreigners who can't understand them and cannot be understood in return. Observe and "do like the Romans do". It may sound silly, but it's important to follow their social conventions, like standing on the right side of the escalators or using the benches outside restaurants not to rest your legs, but to signal your waiting your turn to enter. They will always see you as a foreigner, but at least you will be the thoughtful, respectful kind, so they will respect you a little more and you will feel more comfortable during your visit. I never met a rude Japanese (a policeman in the subway gave me a weird look when he heard my Japanese, but nothing more) and I have always been treated well, so I can say my experience was pretty good and would love to repeat it soon.Again, Japan before Covid was much different from what it is now, from what I heard. People in Kyoto and Tokyo are completely fed up with tourists, but it seems things are improving a little now that the number of Chinese visitors is drastically lower due to political tensions.
>>729536452That says it all, doesn't it? Even their honest to god criminals are treated like fucking Mickey Mouse during the 10 o'clock parade.
>>729536452OMG HI KIRYU!!! HI ICHIBAN!!!! KONNICHIWA!!!
>>729536452I saw one dude dressed in a red suit like Ichiban with golden tipped shoes like Majima, and a scar on his face, but I failed the QTE and didn't make eye contact, missing the optional bossfight
I really enjoyed the Yakuza IRL pictures in this thread. Thanks anon(s)
>>729536712>but I failed the QTE and didn't make eye contact, missing the optional bossfight>He missed out on the special golden Miku plushie from beating him.
>>729536568Thanks for the advice but also >like standing on the right side of the escalators Isn't that normal in every country? Right side if you're standing still, left is for those in a hurry.
I was gifted Yakuza 0 Directors Cut by my GF and it's been a tough couple of days trudging through this slog trying to pretend it's fun. I can't wait until it's over
>>729536968>Isn't that normal in every country?It's not like that here in the US at all. Everyone just stands where they want on it. I didn't even know this was a thing until a few years back myself.
