Are you going to play Nagoshi's new game?
>>733713945I would like to Yakuza is really cool.
>>733713945>Korean MCNah
>>733713945why'd this gook in literally everything these days
this game is going to flop so hard that nagoshi will beg to return to sega.
yes
>>733713945How are they getting away with stealing Yakuza's setting?
>>733713945I don't play games on PC.
>>733714059cause he's badass
>>733713945The screenshots look really bad
I'm not that impressed by what I've seen and everything Yakuza after Nagoshi left with a bunch of other vets has ranged between "shit" and "fucking shit". Yakuza is dead
>>733714962I didn't know Like a Dragon invented Japan.
im actually pretty excited for this but it also seems too good to be true
>>733713945what's new about Yakuza fat
>>733714059It's the first time I see him
Dame dane guy but fat
>>733714059DEI hire
>>733714962It's a real place in Japan. That's like asking why Spider-Man can get away with being set in New York City.
>>733714962It's a common setting in media because it is the biggest irl redlight district in Japan.
>>733713945Fat
>>733713945>Play as a chiseled, hadsome Japanese gigachad that every men want to be, and every women want to be with.>Play as some old, fat, ugly, lazy eyed fuck that serves as a mid tier goon boss in the above guy's game.Lmao, who the fuck looks at OP's pic and says "man, I see myself as that ugly fuck."?
>>733716405>I need to see myself as the characterNPC. Also, I've seen some of the Korean dude's movies and he is pretty likeable in them
>>733714059one gook movie series, a cameo in hideo kojima shit, and one game by Nagoshi>in literally everything
>>733713945Sure.Yakuza is dogshit now so there's nothing else to play unless Suzuki makes another masterpiece.
>>733716750>anotherthat implies he made a masterpiece to begin with
>>733713945If it's good yeah sure why not. It does kinda look like shit though not gonna lie but i'll reserve judgment until its actually out.
>>733715024
1. Gang of Dragon is just a dumb title.2. Fat Korean Steven Seagal MC isn't exactly lighting the world on fire.3. The screenshots on the store page look awful.4. The UI look AI-generated at best.I hope I'm wrong but this looks like it's going to be to Yakuza what Mindseye was to GTA.
>>733713945Oh yes gang of dragonqueens
>>733717064https://youtu.be/VO0n0-3ZKrc?si=4VqhCXHtV7j8K3s8Nagoshi should have gotten Squid Game man
>>733716916based knower. nigga used to do MMA and train others in MMA he ain't no bitch
>>733717609https://youtu.be/AcqtJkX1iuk?si=ElYSg_UEy4pMF2s7The movie is an okay popcorn flick. Recommend.
>>733716405>don't kill killing is bad>be selflessly available for women because "that's what a man does" (dies a virgin without children)>raise another man's spawn>weird idiotic sense of honor that just makes him a doormat for everyoneKiryu only has the face, otherwise he's a massive cuck faggot. NuKratos gets a lot of shit yet Kiryu is much worse. He's the idea of a "honourable badass man" written by a naive millennial who learned what a "honourable badass man" is supposed to be by an even more naive boomer.
>>733713945I'd sure rather play that than a modern Yakuza game.
YawnCall me when Sleeping Dogs 2
>>733713945Of courseUnless it has denuvo
Nagoshi was still responsible for Yakuza 6 and Kiwami 2. Later RGG titles like Gaiden and Infinite Wealth have their problems when it comes to story pacing, but I’d still rather have those than trust in Nagoshi.
>>733718445>He's the idea of a "honourable badass man" written by a naive millennial who learned what a "honourable badass man" is supposed to be by an even more naive boomer.You spew so much shit. Yakuza was written by the most boomer of jap boomers. Millenials live rent free in your head.Kiryu is the stereotypical asian hero who's too dedicated to his job for any romance. He fits right at home in any John Woo movies. You're gonna tell me Solid Snake was written by a millenial because he didnt hook up with Meryl?The guy's a boomer power fantasy. All the cool shit and sex icon without the responsibility or consequences.
>>733713945probably
>>733719659>The guy's a boomer power fantasy.No it's the scrawny weeb's power fantasyThe boomer power fantasy is James Bond, you know, the guy who actually fucks hot women, and in droves
>>733714059Train to Busan was really kino
>>733719058Kiwami 2 was a Yokoyama game. Near the end of Nagoshi's time at Sega, he concerned himself with only specific entries and others hopped in to make the rest.
>>733718445>>733719659>>733720202>millenial >boomer power fantasyGuys come on. Kojingles and Nagoshi are Gen X.AKA the actual worst generation.
>>733716405Kiryu isnt a real person
>>733719058Kiwami 2 was a Yokoyama game. Near the end of his time at Sega, Nagoshi focused on certain titles and others also made Yakuza games beside him.
>>733714036A fat old Korean incel is way more likely to be a career criminal in Japan these days than a golden-hearted ideal specimen of a native Japanese guy. It fits the times way better.
>>733716405>Has 7 different girlfriends between two games>Most of them 15 years younger than himBased?
>>733720469How do you know that? You know him?
>>733720546The most common criminals nowadays are broke, disfranchised Japanese zoom zooms. But you're right, these are shitty low level degenerates, bottom feeding on drugs and racketeering. They never reach actual power.Yakuza aren't a thing anymore though. It was like skin cancer. They sliced off the skin cancer patch and the concentrated cancer cells were let loose and spread all over the body. The corruption reached the government and in turn they're neoliberalizing and selling shit off to international corrupt business class. Australia style.But that's gay and lame and you can't make a funny punch guy game about that.
>>733714962Yakuza is set in a gently fictionalized Japan, which is an artifact of them having to make compromises on the layout of the environments in the first two games because of the limitations of the PS2. Kamurocho isn't quite the same as the real life Kabukicho because of that, even though Kamurocho did trend closer to the real Kabukicho over time. (And now it's basically 15 years behind again because they've built a ton of new shit in the real Kabukicho that just doesn't exist in any version of Kamurocho because it's always an afterthought that they feel obligated to keep returning to for at least one story beat per game.)I assume Gang of Dragon is going to be set in more of Harajuku than just Kabukicho, and that version of Kabukicho is going to be a lot more accurate because they're not trying to jerk off the tourism department of some other part of Japan.
>>733713945This looks like the japanese equivalent of Steven Seagal or Stallone boomer fantasies.
>>733721173They just elected a pretty hardline conservative, xenophobic government in a landslide. Which is extremely funny from the perspective of how it totally derails the whole political intrigue narrative the Yakuza games have been trying to push for the last seven games. Really, for the whole series, if you read too much into the Secret Koreans shit going back to the second game.I'm sure Nagoshi is glad he doesn't have to figure out a way to make that shit fit together anymore. The series was on borrowed time once they went off the deep end with the secret World War II battleship that Old-ass Beat Takeshi was supposedly constantly assassinating people over.
>>733721857>pretty hardline conservative, xenophobic governmentMy goyim in Moloch... it's the same old LDP...
>>733713945only if he release it before i die
looks like its gonna be more violent than yakuza so hell yea
>>733722197when you dying bro?
>>733721857>They just elected a pretty hardline conservative, xenophobic government in a landslide.They do that every time and every time you get posts going BROS JAPAN IS FIGHTING BACK. Nothing ever happens.
>>733714962Nice b8, m8, i give u an 8
>>733713945Yes.
>>733720784I enjoyed the dating side quests in the Judgement games, but he should've just fucked Mafuyu.
>>733722331idk but from the screenshots the game looks beyond Alpha and im pretty sure we're not getting this soon
>>733713945Are we gonna pretend this isn't good slop?
I mean if it actually comes out sureAfter all, Lost Judgment was the last good yakuza game, and yakuza 4 is the best yakuza game.
>>733722358I didn't say anything about Japan going nationalist or "Anti-Woke." The point was that the story of the Yakuza games since the Daidoji shit started has been "Holy shit, the LDP are insanely corrupt, but they're losing political relevance, and we're going to write them like they've got a perfidious bureaucratic and extortionary paragovernmental arm of the party in place to keep themselves in power anyway."Yakuza 8 had a whole plot point about the Daidoji faction kind of floundering and becoming irrelevant because the LDP were getting outcompeted at the time. But now they're back in power and confidently so. They were obviously counting on the political landscape changing in a different way so they could write a story about the Daidoji faction being the bad guys and Ichiban and Kiryu would stop whatever they were planning so Ichiban's Korean and Chinese friends could operate their new Korean-led Robin Hood criminal organization in the shadows to shape Japan's future to fill the country with misunderstood immigrant prostitutes and foreign spies, but it's a good thing somehow.I don't actually give a shit about Japan's politics. But the fact that the LDP has the mandate again, pretty decisively, and the biggest issue of this election has been specifically about controlling disrespectful transplants and foreign tourists, that angle is just totally dead. Everything they planned is totally fucked, and that's the funny part. They're going to have to pivot back to the story about cultish nationalists obsessed with the letter of the law.
>>733716916damn those are some pretty good graphics
>>733716405Nattychads demolish Fitlanklets like Kiryu irl
>>733713945Yes, man i see myself as a fat ugly fuck
>>733716405I'm glad it's a fat ugly bastard. Natural woman repellent.You have no idea what's happening on jap social media. It's all 50 years old wine aunts calling Kiryu a teddy bear, dressing him up in Kiwami 3 and taking selfies with the blinged out phone. Then you have fujos who constantly ship Kiryu and Majima in a drag. It's these women who attend live events in Japan, that funerals and weddings one in January was almost 90% female paypigs. They buy 70% of the merchandise, they run more twitch, youtube and niconico channels about RGG than men ever did. They are the current target audience, since they're retarded enough to drop fat amounts of money on various game-adjacent things.Nagoshi is dodging a bullet here.
>>733725676I would've accepted a young retard mc but fat ugly bastard is good too
>>733713945
>>733726580Playable Daigo never ever because he killed people in cutscenes on more than one occasion.
>>733713945>fat KiryuNope
>>733716405>i'm literally kiryu!shut up faggot
