>As of April 23rd, 2026, 'Gang of Dragon' developer Nagoshi Studios has deleted their YouTube account.>NetEase recently announced they would stop all funding for the game by May 2026dame danny... dame yo... dame nanena yo...
>>737506404>*crickets*
>>737506404actually sad news
>>737506404Thesnakerer will be really bummed out
those were my niggas dawggang of dragon street
RGG bros we won...
Any info as to why? Seems obvious but I'd like to hear the official word on it out of morbid curiosity.
>>737506758Ding Lei (CEO of NetEase) is fucking retarded. He almost canceled Marvel Rivals because he didn't want to license the Marvel IP and thought it would make the same amount of money without.
>>737506404>dame danny... dame yo... dame nanena yo...I gotchu OPhttps://youtu.be/EINdenYzM-E?si=H8VkgMKvmDGR-CmH
>>737506758China has been cracking down on adult rated games. Look at Snowbreak, its been down for like 6 weeks as they redo the game to be more age 12.
>>737506720oh yeah, we won rubber asphalt and alternative timelines, c-cool...
>>737506404Damn, I liked the MC. Would've been much better than that gay afro dude
>>737506909>>737506919Interesting, not at all what I was thinking.
>>737506404Holy shit, chigyus fucking wonWill Nagoshi come crawling back to Sega so he can keep paying for his plastic surgeries?
>go woke by appealing to sjw with an unappealing fat protagonist>go.. broke?
>>737506404It became a Concord instead of a Mindseye. Sad.
>>737506404> I made Yakuza.. again but this time you're fatNo thanks
>>737507152In recent years CERO, PEGI, and the Chinese rating have become more strict. For instance any game with fictional gambling is automatic 18+ with PEGI. Doesn't mean gacha is 18+, it's fictional gambling like the casino from Tales of Xillia 2 or Pokemon or the poker game from Mario DS. These games are getting their stuff removed in future releases.
>>737506404Was it jeeted?
>>737506720We all lost anon
>>737506758The only actual info we've heard is they kept asking for more money to finish the game. I assume it's a similar situation to how Bobby Kotick saw Tim Schafer's Brutal Legend when it was originally going to be published by Activision.>He's late, he's missed every milestone, he's overspent the budget and it doesn't seem like a good game. We're going to cancel it.EA ended up picking it up and releasing Brutal Legend instead. Nagoshi *might* be able to shop it around to other publishers?
Gang of dragon bros... how could this happen? This was supposed to be our serious Yakuza by the og creator after regular Yakuza went full Reddit
>>737507669Yeah I can see the game being stuck in dev hell and all they have to show for are a couple of Unreal Engine snippets like Perfect Dark that a college team can crank out not some studio.
>>737507669The Game Awards trailer probably had two purposes. One was to show Netease that there was interest. Two if Netease wasn't going to keep funding then maybe Nagoshi could find a private investor, but I don't think that worked out.
The man who erased his own game.
>>737506758As the other anon said, Nagoshi said they needed more money to finish it and that was the end of it. They probably weren't expecting that much profit so the prospect of the budget inflating was enough to kill it.
>>737507920kek
>>737506404>the man who erased his game
>>737507920based>>737508082too slow retard
>>737507920FUCK YOU ACEMAN I JUST MADE THE SAME JOKE AND THOUGHT I WAS VERY CLEVER FOR COMING UP WITH IT FUCK YOU AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I'll spare you because you post in Tales threads.
Was this supposed to be live service always online? If it was singleplayer then no wonder it got cancelled. Netease wants mtx not some solo project.
>>737507920
>>737506758This dumbass wanted like 40 millions budget when yakuza games are just single million sellers, lol.
He really thought he could scam the Chinese like he did to the Japanese with exorbitant budgets. What a fucking retard.
Shame. Would have been cool to have a Yakuza game with an actually hard protagonist and none of the cringe wholesome chungus shit.
>>737508171>Was this supposed to be live service always online?I don't think so? I think it was just going to be "not-Yakuza" starring Fat Korean Steven Seagal and apparently taking some cues from third-person shooters maybe?
>>737508190Embrace Extend ExtinguishCommon corporate tactic
Nagoshi really has no one to blame but himself. Nagoshi left Sega in 2021 and it is now 2026 and he still has no game out. Kojima left Konami in 2015 and had a studio and full game out by 2019. Nagoshi fucked around and found out. He should have been getting his ass in gear a while ago since Netease made it very clear they were going to do this.
>Grok, generate me footage of an open world video game set in Kabukicho
>>737507503>Fake in-game Casino is 18+>Real in-game Casino isn't
>>737506404Sega always wins.
>>737508434>Yes, this is a screenshot that surely will make people interested in my game!
>>737506404Haha get fucked S*nygger
>>737506404We have been saved from Yakuzaslop becoming an official genre
>>737507916>spend two million dollars on a VGA trailer spotlight so netease can give you more money to finish the gameBrilliant...
>>737508636Nobody said Nagoshi was a smart man. The dude got to coast for years due to Sega being the publisher. The man also blew money on stupid marketing events for Yakuza, so it isn't hard to understand his train of thought.
>>737507920lol
>>737506720But at what cost?
oh dang I can't believe puyo puyo won
>>737508354really easy to say when you don't know jack shit about what happened behind the scenes he seems like a cool dude and has pumped out great games, give him a break
>No, its okay Mr. NetEase CEO, i only need $40 million MORE to finish the game. Everything is going fine!>>737507920fucking JEJ
>>737507920I don't get it plz explain the funi
>>737506404Such a shame. That game and AC8 were the only games announced I was hyped for during the VGAs>>737507920Kek. He should have bowed to the Chigyus after all.
>>737506404Fuck, I was actually looking forward this....
>>737509072Gang of Dragon was being made by Yakuza's creator.
>>737506404Asians just aren't intimidating enough unless they're mongols.
If you need more than 10 million to make a game, its a shit game not worth playing.
>>737509251But how is he going to pay all those jav and J drama actors to facescan?
>40 million for a shitty beatem up with one locationLel
>>737506404>no one wants to play as the fatty dragon of obesity landKEK fatsos BTFO

>>737506404Oh yeah. This game was a thing.
Now what
>>737509438
>>737509391She got BOGGED and it's not even funny.She looks like a skeleton now.
>>737509438Like with most auteurs who fail miserably, he can either come crawling back to daddy Sega or start an NFT scam.
>>737506404>what if we make Yakuza but with a fat kiryu that maybe 5% of our audience will recognize. let's also announce it while my old studio announces a new game that looks to blow ours out of the water!ol toshi really thought he was bigger than his creation and has to learn the hard way. it's like he's been in a steady downward spiral ever since the cheesy beef bowl controversy.
>>737509380he's not fat, he's pure muscle. yknow like a bear.watch his movies.
>>737509587Bullshit.
>>737509438more Yakuza remakes
I was hoping we wouldn’t be stuck with WACKKKKKY “Yakuza” aka like a faggot. Why can’t we have serious crime kino?
>>737506758Last year NetEase announced that they will stop their investments on their non-Chinese game studios and gave them some time to wrap up their projects.

>>737506758Net Ease and Nagoshi not being Sega bankrolled. Similar to how Hackafune learned the hard-way nobody cares about his "Rockstar" creds when he doesn't own the Megaman (formerly: Rockman) I.P.
>>737506404LMFAOAOOOFOOAOFO this nigga Nagoshi really just done did use 50m in funds for cosmetic surgery LMFAOOFOAOFOFOAOFO
>>737509734I forgot about that
>>737509878>herro, I need mo money tank yu
>>737506758NetEase had been cutting resources due to poor performance. Nagoshi went over budget for his game and petitioned for more money and NetEase said no. So his game is 80% complete and can't find funding
>>737509840Actually Kiryu did. Unable to move past the man himself, they became stale,
>>737506404kek, get fucked
>>737509969>I'm so hard, a real yakuza>look at my teen gangbanger shoesFucking hack
>>737509969Only Mexicans buy Jordans now
now he can go back to sega and make found judgment
>>737507669>Nagoshi *might* be able to shop it around to other publishers?That's what he's been TRYING to do since March when funding was pulled. It's just who is going to pay NetEase for the I.P. rights? It's an unknown I.P. an RGG (formerly: Yakuza) clone from the Yakuza (formerly: RGG) former boss-head. So why invest when Sega is continuing THEIR series?
>>737510145That's not how Japanese businesses work.
This is where we, the 4chan Army, come in and help fund Nagoshi's life dream!Come on, gays! Let's all donate!
>>737506919That has nothing to do with NetEase. In Snowbreak's case, the problem was that some rabid feminists reported them to the CCP only out of spite because they decided to collab with a brand that mostly markets towards women rather than man so they felt their space invaded by incels.
>>737510208no
Sony should give him a studio. Hes better than Hackjima
>>737510275>first they pay for his expensive dinners>now he should get a studiowhat is sony going to pay for next, his hostesses ?

>>737509438Stranger than heaven showcase may 6
The truth is 90% of all auteurs aren't worth shit without being backed by top tier developers.We have seen this time and time again.Turns out its not a one man operation but people tend to just jerkoff titles OH BOY IT SAYS DIRECTOR IT MEANS HE DID EVERYTHING!
>>737510524>FedEx Simulator and Metal GearBinary Domain is better than those movies games
>>737509840>make a franchise>eventually replace main character>and change genreit should have sold 0 copies. fuck people

>>737510141nagoshi's face identifies as a Mexican
>>737506404This fucking sucks. Yakuza is awful now (inb4 >now) so this game would’ve actually been cool.I have no hope of RGG turning things around as their last decent game was LJ.
>>737506404Uhhhh, oh noes, not fat Kyriu's game, anyways.
>>737510816;_;
>>737510813Finally somebody that’s not retarded.
>>737510078they could have tried kickstarter.I am sure people would have paid for it and more.
beef bowl eaters won
>>737510948kickstarter can give like a million or two if unusually successful but they probably needed a lot more than that
>>737509479How is that dude alive after cutting both his legs off?
>>737511272lol
>>737506720>wins the fight>Nagoshi game dies>Yakuza series dies in the process tooCan't wait for Kiwami 4lternative: Saejima Gaiden, starring Teruyuki Kagawa.
>>737506404what the fuck lol
>>737508434The UI is fucking absurd.Why is your car on the weapon wheel?
>>737506404The Chigyus got Nagoshi
>>737509205kek thanks
This game was probably gonna be some 6 hour cobbled together Xbox 360 game. If you played other Netease owned JP studios games you'd know what I mean. There was no way this was matching Yakuza's feature set. I bet all that ballooned budget was from the actors they hired too.
>>737506404Probably for the best. There's too many of those stupid games already.
>>737512662*And the fact that this latest one has a fucking korean as the lead in it can't be a good sign.
>>737510463It's not just that they wrote 8 before Gaiden, it's that Gaiden was originally supposed to be a DLC for 8. So you would have played through all of 8 and Hanawa would have just been some random fag in charge of Kiryu who gets unceremoniously killed because he's just an irrelevant Daidoji side character that you don't care about, then you would play the DLC after finishing the game and they'd expand his character there. Since Gaiden became a standalone game and released first, that backstory expansion ended up feeling like setup and made him seem like he'd be more important. The whole situation is still incompetent as fuck though.
>Browns dont know who Ma Dong-seok is.That fat guy could break your skull with one punch.
>>737506404That doesn't mean "officially cancelled", but it means development hell.
>>737506720Press F to Spit on Yokoyama.
>>737512715I genuinely wonder if Nagoshi wishes he was Korean with how prominent they are in Yakuza and then making a Korean guy the MC for his Yakuza clone. Considering how he image changed from a chigyu looking guy to a chinpira lookalike, I'm starting to think he was using Yakuza to vicariously live out the life he wanted to live instead of being a video game guy.
I can't believe the Chigyus fucking won
>>737506404>creates a studio>doesn't release a single game
>>737511852He's just that much of a unit that he wields cars for weapons. Basedryu could never.
>>737506404im lowkey sad fr i wanted to play masculine japanese game again not this faggot shit they keep pushing because they were ordered to by the judeo-american empire
>>737512932I remember the rumor of him getting paid by Sony for lavish dinners and gifts in exchange of not porting the series to Nintendo while he was a SEGA bigwig. Dude's all about that life it seems.
Yo Nagoshi...give those veneers back...
>fat old ugly gook yakuzait was doomed from the start
>>737512806OP is obviously baiting a little for replies but he needs another $44 mil with no backer and it might be a tough sell to find another one since Yakuza isn't even a high selling franchise, so there's a high chance the clone won't sell well amazingly either. Anyone that tries picking it up will have to negotiate to get the IP from NetEase, so they'd need to spend however much to get it from them and then also give Nagoshi his $44 mil to actually finish the game. It's just not a good business decision when the best selling Yakuza game only sold 2.8 mil and that was slowly over 5 years with the game constantly going on sale for $10. There's no way a company would get a return from this, the only way I could see it is if they decide to take a hit to pretty much acquire Nagoshi himself but he is not a talented enough developer to be worth that money kek. The game is effectively dead and only people that really want this game and are coping doesn't see that.
>>737506404Surprised a Korean dev studio never thought to make a Roundup game that was a True Crimes/Sleeping Dog clone with Dong but I guess they just can't stop making gacha and mmo slop.
>>737512765Oh no, not Gookity McGook's game.
>>737506404That's not an official cancellation, you're just making inferences.
>>737512806cope. dev hell is usually the opposite problem when a game has access to funding for years on end because it's considered a really important title, but the work isn't getting done. this is not dev hell, this is failing to secure the funding that was already in the pipe because you didn't meet the milestone requirements and nobody wants to increase their bet on you. the consequences of this will be a studio shutdown. no point "officially canceling" the game until then.
>>737511272Some say death is the greatest freedom
>>737507416I hate you retarded faggotsif the sopranos came out today would you be saying this retarded shit too I wonderPS: I know nothing about this game but the protag is excellent for a mafia game
Judgementbros! Is it happening?
>>737510724I don't get it. This is a new RPG franchise called Like A Dragon. Yakuza are the bad guys.
HOLY FUARK BROS IS THIS THE NEW EBIN TORTANIC
>>737514059It's not an official cancellation but it's still worrying. Why close the social media without making announcement? It makes it look like they got caught up in actual yakuza shit.
>>737506404This will join Overstrike as one of the worst outcomes for a game with only a reveal trailer.
>>737508862Based, but why is that relevant in this thread?
>>737509380>no one wants to play as the fattyEverybody's got to have an opinion.
>>737513035I can. Cheese is a white man's food after all.
>>737514895>Based, but why is that relevant in this thread?It's a major part of why Nagoshi "left" (read: was fired) from RGG Studios in the first place. He publicly mocked Puyo Puyo fans for being "cheesy beef bowl lovers", which is the Japanese slag version of calling someone a neckbeard incel. Sega had to issue a professional apology and Nagoshi wasn't with the company much longer afterwards.
>>737514770I wasn't saying it was wrong or incorrect, just using "official" is the wrong word choice.The reality of situation is bleak.
>>737506404>All that moneyLmao
>>737506404kwab what a mess
>>737510078>80%
>>737515151Yeah well I don't expect OP to not be sensationalist on 4chan. Nice doubletrips.
>>737508475That's why Balatro was temporary 18+
>>737515160Those JAV whore cameos (and additional services for Nagoshi) aren't cheap

>the guy responsible for the massive fuck up that's the Sakura Wars reboot can't manage a budgetChinks were retarded in the first place giving money to Nagoshi.There was also him calling puyo puyo players with a slur from what I remember.
>>737506404Source?
He's just rebranding. Trust the plan.
>>737515658How do you look at yourself in the mirror and think those teeth look okay
>>737506404>removes a universally liked original version of the game to push a shitty remake>the remake removes more features it adds>it bombs>gets firedWhat are the downsides of this?
>>737510208sure thing, i'll donate $69.99 +tax cold hard United States currency in exchange for the game when it launches
No one wants to finance a Shenmue-level project these days...
>>737514431I'm pretty sure you are just another bunkertranny pretending that's not bunkertranny bait
>lazy asset-flip : the series somehow needed massive funding to shit out another lazy asset flipWhat did they do? Blow off all their money on diamond-encrusting the toilet paper at their studio restrooms?
>>737506404rip chinese tony soprano
>>737506404Was it actually?But, i can't help but feel bad for Nagoshi since things aren't looking exactly bright
>>737506404Hurray! Lets Celebrate!
>>737508475This world is a joke
>Hack asked for 40 million more.LMAO. Yea no wonder they axed it.If he asked for more then that obviously means they already spent more than that. There is no way the game would sell more than 1 mil copies. 1.5 if we're being generous. It would get Judgement numbers at best.Let's be generous and assume that he already spent 40 mil and asked for that much more. If the game costs 60-70$ per copy, it wouldn't even break it even.
>>737506917Upvoted
>>737516397They don't have any assets to flip, that's the problem. It's not like Nagoshi was allowed to take any assets with him when he left RGG Studios.
>>737506404LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
>>737516397Forgetting the Nagoshi got his ass booted from Sega, Gang of Dragon was a scam game that floundered, probably because they couldn't just flip assets like Slopkuza has been doing since 3
>>737516397Nagoshi didn't realize what it would cost to make a game when you don't have decades worth of assets to reuse. It's also hard to say how much the celebs that were probably in the game since even the lead dude probably was a few million. It isn't like Nagoshi is Kojimbo who had celebrity connections.
>>737508434KEK
>>737506404Was there even any gameplay shown? He'll, was there any details about the game besides the implication it would be like yakuza?
Part of me wonders if Nagoshi was dumb enough to pay licensing so there could be proper brands or the actual locations in the game.
>>737511272suda actually finished his game and put out a complete product on short notice doe
>>737516938i thought he left on his own accord, was he sega's kojima or some shit?
>>737506404ChigyuBROS we fucking WON
>>737517068You could answer those questions yourself in 10 seconds by going to Youtube, you dumb nigger.
>>737517271He left of his own accord, but he left because he got demoted. Nagoshi was essentially soft-locked after being demoted and would never see a promotion again.
>>737515658How can I trust the man when he gave up on himself?
>>737517417lil nip really thought he was a real yakuza leaderhe's the japanese equivelent of a studio gangsta
>>737517532>he's the japanese equivelent of a studio gangstaWell he did make propaganda whitewashing his yakuza bosses.
>>737506550>actually sad news
>>737517271His peers ratted him out for taking bribes from Sony, he was soft-fired. Essentially, bullied into stepping down. Nobody around Nagoshi actually liked him.
>>737510213If Seasun weren't retards who refused to learn after being forced to censor several times to not add obscene material in their game feminists would have no ammo to use against Snowbreak. Stop pretending they're faultless.
I was looking forward to it.
>>737506404
>>737507503All their kids are addicted to mobile games where you gamble real money to win a png of anime boobies.
>>737518448she looks like she smells so good
>>737510595Anyone else not care about StH? I dunno why, but I have negative hype for the game. Maybe Snoop did it, I dunno.
>>737506404This is what China just does. They poach industry legends away from their functioning roles in larger established corpos, weakening them. Then they make them waste 2-4 years on making something under their funding, and then they pull the rug.Anything "capitalist" the CCP is doing is to mess up our foothold. Once they have the power they're not going to have any capitalism.
>>737515341That probably would've been 18+ forever if it wasn't for PEGI catching so much heat over it, even a 12+ sounds like a weak compromise when scummy lootbox games are 3+
>>737507479>>737507416Wait, he was the protagonist? I thought he was a boss or something. I mean, he has a Lunchables face and looks like an asshole just like Awano so I assumed he was a bad guy.
>>737509587Depending on the season bears can have a lot of fat.
>>737515135iirc he wasn't fired-fired, but he did get demoted because of that and him screwing up the Sakura Wars reboot. Afterwards he basically ragequit and left the company, but shortly after went to the press erroneously claiming it was because "he didn’t want to become CEO" and that they were gonna promote him. Chigyu has a massive ego.>>737518816This is one of the rare instances where it's mostly the oldhead's fault. I think if you casually asked for another $45 million from any company they would tell you no.
>>737510463Its clearly they have abandoned sense and reason when they found out that the series can sell in the west, if not spectacularly, then enough to rerererelease the giant backlog of games they made over the years.
>>737515750He's animorphing into a super monkey ball™
>>737517337I thought that was mock gameplay.

>>737506404Disappointing.But i also wish that the the Chinese and Korean development scene would stop teasing non existent games. They got me interested over another fake one which they only showed off to drum up hype at an xbox event and then quickly scrapped it after.
>>737508475Gambling industry can easily throw some money at the right people to keep people from interfering with their business. Similar to what Isreal does.
>>737509581>cheesy bowl beefHuh
why the fuck. i was actually looking forward to that.
>>737516454CHIGYU COULD YOU PLEASE SHUT THE DOOOOOOOR
Stranger Than Heaven will make Yakuza-likes respectable again. Trust the plan.
>>737506404The Steam page and the header image in particular looks like it was AI-generated using a Yakuza LoRA. The game would probably have been soulless, derivative and disappointing with a 65% average score.
>>737526397nagoshi said competitive puyo puyo players look like they eat cheesy beef bowls. he was referencing the japanese "chigyu" meme which is like their version of the chud meme. he was basically mocking them calling them uncool nerds. consider yourself spoonfed, faggot.
Based news
>>737519209Those budget numbers are so obviously made up. The studio had like 60 people
>>737514431MMMMM boy are you fat.
>>737506404train to busan guy...
>>737518816I'm not defending the CCP but this is too copey. Nagoshi and Suda and Ouka Studios and whatever the fuck do not have that much value. Visions of Mana flopped. Romeo is a Dead Man probably flopped. Gang of Dragon was in development for maybe 5 years and still needs $44 million? And that's covering salary in Japan, which is low as shit. It's like a Californian company saying they need 150 million more bucks to (probably) finish their game. What kind of retarded VC or company would invest that much more in a project unless they have an unlimited source of money (Microsoft, Sony, etc.) At best, I could see Sony picking up GoD but who knows.
>>737517603Nah, the rural Yakuza are the good ones in like a dragon. The city Yakuza are all mostly trash people with a few exceptions.
REMINDER: Nagoshi WILL take out a loan from the Yakuza.And it WILL ruin his life.
>>737527020kino
>>737515750I would so much have my yellowish fucked up teeth than veneers. At least my teeth are made of teeth
>>737527020I think he's already fucked. Probably black-listed in Japan due to what happened with Sega so he ran over to the Chinese and both sides took advantage of each other until it blew up in Nagoshi's face.
>>737506404he got done dirty by the chinks on this one
>>737507669>a similar situation to how Bobby Kotick saw Tim Schafer's Brutal Legendand he was right. it was also a game that no one knew what it was about that blew a ton of money on celebrities and sold poorly.
>>737506404I dont understand why Nagoshi left Sega. He was still getting his pet projects greenlit and clearly he was fine just making Yakuza-likes forever
>>737527489The word was that he didn't want to be in the position of the company he was promoted to because it meant less ability for him to actually be hands-on with the development and more in a managerial role. That paired with the chigyus getting mad and that's likely what pushed him out.
>>737507416>fatHes a strongman build
Chigyus won
>>737526950How many more flops can snoy fund though?
Gang of SNEEDSNEED of Dragon
Time to go back to your roots and make more Daytona USA, Nagoshi....
>>737506404It's been 5 years I'm surprised they don't have enough done to just shit out an 8 hour linear game with all the side content cut
>>737511852I can't believe Gang of Dragons was secretly a Transformers game this whole time.
>>737506404The gook on the cover is successful enough to have his own vanity action movie series where he is one punch cop. Why couldn't he fund it?
>>737519703*ahem*Phew*breathes in deeply**exhales slowly**takes an even deeper breath*N I G G E RIGGER
>>737518816>Once they have the power they're not going to have any capitalism.Based Chinks dismantling Western-aligned capitalism and ushering in the new century of Chinese prosperity.
>>737511073made me chuckle, fuck you
>>737510707DelusionalMGS3 alone decimates everything Nagoshi has made.
>>737517417Am I allowed to clown on this photo now? I used to and /v/ would get so fucking mad
>>737516617I've never eaten chigyu.Also, cheese with rice sounds weird.
>>737528328Because they need $40 million and Don Lee movies have like $10 million budgets and his company only funds a small part of them
>>737506404Anyone here even remembers Whore of the Orient? A similar game that died without ever seeing the light of day. The game that killed Team Bondi. Kinda reminds me of what happened to that one.
>>737529013That one hurt
>>737528867I havent had it myself either but it sounds like it will be similar to risotto
I don't know much about the game but for the retards here who call Don "fat"... Dude is fucking solid. He's pure power lifter build and has been ripped pretty much his entire life.
>>737529935
>>737529935He's a tank but also he is a bit fat nowadays, since he's old and all
>>737530131Yeah but this board acts like he's some kinda Walmart blob. He's pretty much the perfect picture of an older gang boss. Living the comfortable life but still a monster.
>>737529935He's kinda fat it's the kind of fat that you can tell is more of pure muscle rather than being a blob
>>737530131
>>737506404I really wish Nagoshi hadn't fucked this up. I wad really looking forward to it
>>737514431>akshually gooks goodyes it is woke, especially since we're seeing the chaebols' backdoor dicksuckings result today>if the sopranos came out today yeah we saw what happened when the creator tried to make nu-sopranos, it was embarrassing.
>>737506404He's likely burned his bridge with Sega so now Nagoshi's gotta find a new company to fund his wannabe playboy life-style.
>>737515750When your whole head is mutilated, you don't see the tiny problems.
>>737518448if they're not jav actress then I don't care about your stupid grift chaebolbots
>>737506404I knew the game was fake, it looked like Mafia City
>>737506758Nagoshi was promising GTA like freedom on top of Yakuza gameplay, instead of doing their best with limited budget like Yakuza.Funding he was asking for must've been unrealistic for nips, especially by a newly built independent studio with zero portfolio aside from boss man being ex-sega.
>>737506404Chud lostWokeGODS won
actual sad news for once
>>737518816>Once they have the power they're not going to have any capitalism.Truth but westerners are so stupid that they didn't and still don't understand that the CCP implemented an NEP like policy on dengs "reforms" to give them a pro free market appearance to make it look like they genuinely curtailed state ownership. Which is true at face value. They're decidedly pro free market now but at the same time still on a state capitalist model because the economics of the political system at any given time does not matter. The deeper lore is so did Gorbachev-Yeltsin agree on something similar but that discussion is for another time.
>>737517271>promoted to sega COO>focus exclusively on your baby (Yakuza)>openly shit talk nintendo>openly insult your companies fanbases>reboot segas most beloved ip as a pa4 only game (it bombed)>sakura wars gacha was an ultra bomb>the company is literally dying because of youPeople saying he might go back to sega are really funny.
She fucking won.
>>737509354It's not 40 million for the game, it's 40 million EXTRA after 4 years of development.
LOL>>737519209>him screwing up the Sakura Wars rebootNo wonder it was so fucking awful. Ever since that nigger went spraytan poseur-yakuza mode everything he touched turned to shit.
>puts actors in games>burns through all his moneygood riddance, stop movifying gameskojima has ruined my hobby
Sugma Dong
>>737533348He also oversaw that Sakura Wars gacha that cost 3 billion yen and bombed.
>>737506404Why would you do business with China as a Japanese? Let alone the worst chinese company. Chinese are the jews and niggers of Asia
>>737506720nowe lostand we have now entered the slop and delisting timeline
>>737528867>>737529146I had it few times in Japan.There's better foods there, sure, but the balance of price to food to taste is pretty great. If you're into cheese with meat, I can definitely see somebody preferring it to other stuff in gyudon joints.
>>737513035chigyuman crashed and burned, everybody lost
>be a jap>having a korean as the protagonist for a game about japanese criminals that are notorious for being anti-foreigners>funded by the chinesesurely this would work
>>737506404Nothing good ever happens....
>>737506404>many yakuza series later>still none with custom yakuza creatorI just want to make my yakuza bald and shorty...
>>737513035You don't fuck with the chigyus
>>737534664>still none with custom yakuza creatorBlack Panthers 1 and 2 both had one but it's for the multiplayer mode. 2 let you use it in this open world multiplayer mode you could do in singleplayer.
>>737506720The last good game RGG made is the first Judgment. Even before that their record was spotty at best. Now they make actual dogshite.
>>737533820I thought that was the guy from the Tales of studio.
>>737535756Wait i played kurohyou 1 and 2 when it got tl-ed but i dont know both of them has multiplayer mode...
>>737536472BP1's is just PvP against another player (It takes the stats from Tatsuya) and an Ultimate Mission-esque mode where you fight increasingly difficult enemies and unless you're level 50 it's extremely unfair to get high ranks on it because it expects two level 50 players in Extreme Man to beat it.BP2's has a fully fledged "Roam around Kamurocho fighting" mode and then you could LAN with your friends.BP1's are super awful because you had to do things like 100 PvP matches and a few other things for Titles and it was a pain. BP2's is mostly just to roam around. I can't remember if Tatsuya could call up the OC in singleplayer or not.
>>737506404Chinks were winning? AM I RIGHT!?!?!? LOL.
Shit I thought this looked goodThat sucks
>>737536732you're literally the reason it got cancelled btw
>>737536536Ah fuck. There goes my hope for custom yakuza maker in single player mode.
Oh well, at least i've got some hopes for stranger than heaven since like judgement it's not stuck into the bog that yakuza became.
>>737515160Unlike a Dragon: Limited Wealth
>>737513504You know who has a habit of funding dead game series just for shit and giggles? Nintendo I wonder if Nagoshi would kneel if Nintendo was the only one to offer to fund him
>>737537556>muh serious yakuza game funded by bingtendoI don't see it
>>737537612>Bayonetta funded by Nintendo >Devil's third funded by Nintendo
>>737517898>If they just censored their game then the heckin wholesome femitrannies wouldn't have had a melty, it's their fault for not creating goyslop in the first place!
>>737537678I always get a giggle whenever I remember that Devil's Third is a Nintendo IP. Like literally, entirely owned by Nintendo. Not like Bayonetta, which is owned by SEGA but developed by Platinum and later published by Nintendo. If anyone asks what's the worst Nintendo IP, there is a correct answer. It's Devil's Third.
