Thoughts on the new Stranger Than Heaven trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngsGt-IKxvo&t
>adogood>snoop doggit's shit>lots of other niggersin 1920s tokyo? really?
Kino
is the theme song released yet
Damn, I didn't know this covered so many time periods. Also the song is fucking great
is this a Yakuza prequel
>>738396894Yeah, literally the first part of the trailer is the founding of the Tojo clan
>>738396317No Daidoji no buy
woke than heaven
>set game in kino time periods>ruin it with shit hop / crap musicI don't give a fuck that Kenzan had hip hop either. Kenzan is shit.
>>738396317Don't care about the game. When is the song releasing?
>>738396317kino the consensus seems to be that it's kino also
>>738396317It's 2026, all games must have black representation. Loocalizers must've pestered the devs to put blacks in.
>>738398275it's snoop dogg you dumbfuck
>>738396317I really need to get into the Yakuza series.
>>7383982752 black dudes from America who go with you to Japan.
>>738398338who fucking cares
>>738398338he's from the third world so he doesn't care
>>738398469?
>>738396317It looks fucking Great
>>738396894Obviously.
Huge potential let's see if they don't shit the bed
>>738398469only third-worlders care about washed up rappers so your post makes zero sense
It looks like just another Yakuza game as far as I'm concerned. Perfect.
>>738398682It's Yokoyama so..
>>738396317GTA6 got real quiet since this dropped
>>738398985Just you wait, in a month they're gonna blow up the internet with another delay.
>>738398338Snoop Dogg is cool, but black people in 1920's Japan? The shogun kicked the portuguese and their slaves, black people were segregated in the US, so almost none of them would be in Japan at that time.
>>738398757He was literally put into a Jap game so you post makes zero sense
>>738399224snoop dogg and the 1 other black guy are from American and leave California along with the protagonists to travel to Japan.
I feel like I'll like it but also there is no way this is the same game it was when it was initially revealed.
>>738399292?
>>738396317Too many Gaijin, I want to see JAPANESE people in a JAPANESE game
>>738399309the reveal from 2024 looks identical to the current version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hihuPFku9I
>>738398275I sincerely hope you get your /pol/rot checked out soon.
why is the game so ugly? the graphics already look outdated and they jacked up the saturation like crazy.
>>738396317Looks great. Wish it was coming out sooner
>>738399653looks good to me
>>738396317If it was just the trailer I would've bought it on release, really good trailer, spectacular evenUnfortunately the presentation brought it down to a "maybe eventually"
>>738399576Looks like it. Guess I'm wrong. Damn, Yakuza studio being free from Yakuza must be cathartic.
>>738399653It's very obviously the best looking game RGG has ever madr
I don't hate it but Snoop being there is so insanely random.
>>738396317Yeah, I'm thinking ludokino is back on the menu
Is that anime Ado?
At least the black guys are explained realistically. Ubisoft would go all out and say Snoop is descended from Yasuke or some shit.
>>738400085it's too bad one of them sounds like he's from modern times (snoop dogg)really takes me out of the game/setting
>>738400080She self-doxxed herself a while ago. It's her, yes.
>>738396317I can't believe they'll reveal Ado to be Kiryu's mom
>>738399224>Snoop Dogg is cool, but black people in 1920's Japan?Would you believe it if you were told the brother to Marshall Piłsudski, the leader of post-WW1 Poland, was a Japanese spy and a massive weeb who settled in Japan and became a linguist and an expert on the Ainu?
>>738396317>Adoslop
>>738396317>Adokino
>>738396317I love Ado and her wide jaw
I FOUND A PLAAAAAAACE WHERE I'M NOT ALOOOOOONETORE DOWN THE GAAAAAAATE, TOOK ALL MY PAIN AND MADE A WEAPOOOOOOON
>>738396317I have Ado and yoasobi fatigue.
>>738400465Whites in Japan really existed back then, the Dutch had a port city, and some britbong became a samurai.
>>738396317I wonder if MacArthur is in.
>>738396317>likely 9 months awayFUCK
Have we ever seen Makoto Tojo in a Yakuza game?
Japanese women look like that? I love japanese women now
>>738400465Apparently white people are now black. Also Japanese have been surprisingly friendly with Poland even during WW2 so this is way more realistic than a nigga in japan.
this'll be my first rgg game on steam (i was a console-only physicalfag for their entire catalog previously), how are their pc ports typically?
>>738398275
>>738401114I'm not talking about a seafaring nation that had colonies all over, but a Slav from the middle of Europe who became a spy for a government on the other side of the world just because they didn't like Russians; got a massive cultural hard-on for the Ainu; became pals with a bunch of famous Japanese scholars, married a Japanese himself and had a family whose ancestors still live in Japan.
Preordered>but you should vote with your wal-ACKdon't care buying for Ado
>>738401616>Also Japanese have been surprisingly friendly with Poland even during WW2This actually started with the guy I'm talking about at >>738401714 >>738400465 and a few of his pals, who became spies for the Japanese because they hated Russia so much they were willing to travel to the other side of the globe.There was a period around 1900-1920 when Japan had a bunch of Poles pouring in.
>>738396317Buying it on sale as usual since I can wait with my immense unplayed Yakuza library
Ado is too Yayoi for my tastes
>>738401630all great ports
>>738401015I did too for years, until the face reveal
i have ado fatigue
Who the fuck is Ado?
>>738401630The terminal tripfaggot will type you up a schizo essay on how they're less than ideal and you have to download a mod unplug your controller five times and set fps to 37.5 but you won't really notice a thing
i buy for she
>>738402640my queen
>>738402640I think she's like Aimer but for zoomers
>>738402723Who?
>>738402723>Part Irish, German, Puerto Rican, and Jamaican.Her character might be mixed as well.
>>738401630newer games are alright but for those games that were previously 30fps on console 60fps can be a bit wonky but only annoying in harder difficulty since the enemy block rate gets crazy at times, despite of that i beat every game on PC at 60fps no problem lol.
Sex with Ado
>>738399224>but black people in 1920's Japan?Meiji restoration. Things got better for people until shit hit the fan again in the late 20s.
>>738396478>lots of otherslike?
>>738396317Is that goddamn Admiral Akainu? Like, the actor he's based on?
>>738402723Angelic voice
>celeb niggersand dropped
>>738403443Basado
>>738396317japanese women owe me sex
>>738400465For some reason that story reminded me of this guy.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Epstein
>Tojo was known for his love of Japanese gardens, and is rumored to have executed several men in the gardens at Tojo Clan Headquarters. Many officers state the ghosts of those executed haunt the area.I guess that explains why the game is so violent kek
>>738398275>i have never played a yakuza game before
are they actually gonna speak both jap and englando tho
>>738408553Official website only lists subtitles instead of audio languages, so yeah, only one track.
>>738408701neat
>>738407630just buy a ticket to japan and look for those sex sites anon
bix nood/10
>>738402640vocaloid cover artist that most of the time hides her face like a vtubermostly sings in a japanese punk rocker voice instead of high pitched uwu sounds
>>738396317sounds......good
Genuinely who the fuck is Ado it feels like she appeared out of nowhere a couple of months ago. I've been following youtubers since 2020.
>>738405126racism aside I do think Snoop was an odd choiceluckily he is barely in the game
>>738400925I FOUND A PLACE WHERE I CAN COME HOOOOMEliterally don't know what the next line is/spoiler]
>>738396317more like Adon't
>>738409539TORE DOWN THE GATETOOK ALL MY PAIN AND MADE A WEAPON
They keep pushing western stuff into the game when the reason people like them is because they are super Japanese
>>738396317ADO SEX
>>738409335She discovered the internet between 2014-2016 on the 3DS, found about niconico, youtube, and vocaloid in 2017, began covering vocaloid songs as a 2view on youtube in 2018-2019, launched a single to colossal success during the pandemic, and here we are, Japan's most popular female singer.
>>738403730>blacks in japan >better for people
>>738409397the role feels like it was written to be an old fu manchu chinese man but then they cast snoop
>>738410050the game is set in 40sand americans are heavily involved during that time, especially in post-war japan
>>738410125Idk if that's depressing or inspiring.I guess it explains why she didn't come into my vtuber radar until recently though idgaf about music generally.
Why are these fags acting like blacks are new to RGG games?
>>738410309they don't even play the games
>>738400195huh?when did that happen? i dont really follow social media.
>>738410309yes every RGG game has Snoop Dogg voice acting in it you disingenuous fag
>>738410219Cover (not that one) singers in Japan hide their faces, especially vocaloid ones. They're not vtubers.
>>738410159it is
>>738399576I hope the song from this trailer is still in the game.
>>738396317I thought that was Anne Frank from the thumbnail
>>738399224>but black people in 1920's Japan?He's a smuggler. He's an American taking an American and smuggling him into Japan. He's not presented as a good man doing a good thing, he doesn't speak Japanese, and he's clearly a means to an end because he seems to be only in the very introduction of the game with Makoto setting up the music business and then at best his son sticks around.
>>738410424>ignores all the seething because there are blacks in the game
Did 1920-50s Japan have that many black people?
>>738396317I have no idea who this bitch is. Yakuza has outgrown me
>>738410412The face in the trailers is made up by RGG. Ado partially revealed her face, but the face in the game isn't her.
>Japanese-American protagonist Isn't this just blatant pandering?
which part did ado sing in the trailer?i cant tell with tori kelly's singing
>>738410721Considering he's treated like garbage and feels like has no place to belong due to the Japanese not considering him Japanese, no? It's also clearly building on something introduced in 3G where Daigo (and now Makoto) wanted the Tojo Clan to be a place where outcasts could feel like they belong.
>>738409397yeah his voice takes me out of the time period>das your japan right der ya feel methat and his son who is also in the game can't act for shit
>it's another "re-writing history to include black people" episode
>>738409335She's the most popular japanese singer of this decade bar none and on the way to become the most popular japanese music artist probably in history.She oscillates between the industry plant and legitimate popular artist somehow.She was first discovered by a visionnary vocaloid producer called Kujira back in 2019 at 17 years old when she had like 10k subs on youtube and he gave her the opportunity to feature a vocaloid song he released simultaneously on his channel.This gave her enough exposure to reach the ears of other producers like Jon Yakitory (who she'll do the theme of lost judgement a year later) but also biz.Her cover of Bocca dela Verita back in 2020 was a huge hit on niconico and probably convinced Universal music japan to sign her.Prior to her debut she made 2 covers of renowned Vocaloid producers Syudou (last resort and baka) both of which might have lead Syudou to compose and write her debut song, and Wooma, renowned vocaloid MV director, to do the MV of her debut song.Her debut song Useewa sits now at like the 6th or 7th place of the most viewed japanese song on youtube and launched her career into the stratosphere.t. utaite autist since 2017
>>738410735The female rap at like 1:38 is likely her, no? Don't think Tori Kelly performs in japanese. Then our sidekick's singing starts, Tori Kelly returns and duets with him, Ado joins both of them for a 3 way chorus, then Snoop's rap.
>>738410916nta but it doesn't really bother me that muchbesides rgg games are not known for realism, anyway
>>738410721yeah
>>738396317good song but snoop being in the game set in the early 1900s sounding like he normally does it jarring to say the least
>>738410589....2? yeah probably
>>738411051I fucking hate this mentality
>>738411036oh yeah i hear it nowdidnt noticed before because of the dialogue
>>738411129what fanboyism does to a nigga
>>738410704oh, ok.is she butt ugly or not?
>>738411129why tho?it's just a game, don't know why you're so bothered by itbesides we'll probably have some silly mini-games throughout the whole thing
>>738411140true
>>738411240>it's just a game
>it's just a game brofuck off and dieyou are the reason shit gets worse
>>738411001>Useewaoh ok, now that I've listened to this I definitely heard someone in hololive cover this without knowing the original lolidk though she sounds cool but I don't get that level of popularity
>>738411001>and on the way to become the most popular japanese music artist probably in historydamn Japan really is cooked
>>738398275>>738399224It's a fucking Yakuza game in current year. Stop with the /his/ and /pol/autism and just enjoy the game for what it is, or realistically, hate it for actual reasons outside le black weed man is in it.
>>738411386that's why Korea is currently dominating them
>>738411185Maybe
>>738410721Usually I would complain about AMWF stuff because that's not as realistic as WMAF, but I would've preferred if the protagonists were Japs with American moms, we don't need more non-Japs as protagonists in games that take place in Japan.
>>738411317>>738411321eh? so snoop's voice acting is your main concern in the game??like at all?
>>738411469honestly it's the most jarring thing so far first take to really take me out of the setting
Wait has Ado face revealed? That's mega gay if so.
>black worship from the previous thread bleeding into this one
https://youtu.be/86FNwysc110
>>738411540noOP is made a up face
>>738402723>>738403201Just call it "Breen"
>>738410916>his voice takes me out of the time periodKenzan and Ishin both didn't care to adhere to the time period strictly. They used modern slang, ways of speaking, and mindsets so they're very clearly using the time period to utilize specific visuals or mechanics rather than strictly adhere to how it was.
>>738411447I don't get how AMWF would make them more jap than the opposite, explain, I'm stupid.
>>738411395the whole "black people" thing is stupid but people saying it's mainly snoop's voice taking them out of the time period are fair imo
>>738411628they didn't have snoop dogg in themstop with this lame fucking deflection
>>738411340NTA but sometimes it just happens, things will blow up. It's a matter of both luck and right amount of exposure, plus boosted by her unique style even if i don't like her.
>>738411508well, you do you i guess but he's probably only in the 1915s part of the game
>>738411628yes because that's the same as having an international rapper who won't even change is way of speaking to fit the role
>>738410412>>738411540https://youtu.be/YvYii6dluM8
>>738411418kpop is brown tier garbage
>>738411709what is with this desperate cope to defend snoop this hard?
>>738396317>"Oh wow, old Japan, kino story about friendship, Snoop Dogg, it's literally all I wa—">over-the-shoulder cameraFUCK.
>>738411682why you overreacting?sure his voice acting is weird but i guess that's the gimmickdoubt it'll overstay
seriously why are people defending snoop's inclusion this hard?
>>738411751>>738411796why so against it tho?
Holy samefagging
>>738411796why are /pol/tards so triggered to see his inclusion ?
>>738411793>overreactingI think you're the one overreacting here. You seem really triggered some people find him jarring. Then you always brush it off with "well he may only be in the game for a short time" or "well ishin and kenzan had people speak japanese weird - that's tonally the same haha"
This is the best trailer I've seen for a game
>foshizzle my nizzleis this really how they sounded in Japan 100 years ago?
the fanbase has always been super defensivecombine that with how reddit it has become
>>738411632Lineage is more often passed down from the patrilineal link. Surnames, titles, property, etc. Historically the emphasis of family is usually placed on the father's side and thus everything cultural as well. Them having a nip dad would make them more Japanese since they are more likely to have a nip name and so on. I'd rather play a nip in a setting defined by nips being only ones there.
>>738411925OMG STOP OVERREACTING AND ACCEPT IT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
what's your favorite Ado song ?for me it's Readymade
>>738411884>I think you're the one overreacting here.huh?i just said i'm never really bothered by his addition and rgg games are never that much realisticand i got replied by>>738411317>>738411321
Did rap music exist in the early 20th century?
>>738411940yeah all I said is that he is the most jarring part of the game so far and people got mad and are telling me to just accept itfucking weird
>>738411990I didn't know who Ado was before this presentation.
>>738411992yes because you're just brushing off criticism like a typical fanboy - not everyone has to accept or like it just because it doesn't bother you
Nago must be seething so hard.
>hurr you have to like itwtf lol
>>738411682>they didn't have snoop dogg in themDoesn't matter. At the end of the day they've never once tried to adhere strictly to the time period. It's primarily set dressing unless they get super autistic about it like in Ishin Kiwami with Satow and his memoirs. This also isn't a Mack-in-Ishin-Kiwami situation here, Snoop isn't Japanese nor would it make sense for Mack to have been around in that time period. Snoop is presented as an American, smuggling an American, and can't speak Japanese. I don't see how it's unbelievable for an American man who can't even really get a proper job due to his skin in his own country to do illegal stuff like smuggling another American-Japanese into Japan.>>738411721>who won't even change is way of speaking to fit the roleAgain, they do not and have never cared about fitting the time period. We had people here a few years back bitching about the OG Ishin having modern slang in the original translation (This was a guy who could read Japanese). If it bothers you then fine, you do you, but they've never once cared about this nor expected you to care.
>>738412075nuh uh you have to accept snoop's jarring inclusion otherwise you're racist
The raped
>>738411990Favourite original https://youtu.be/BMb5IetESGE favourite cover aishite aishite aishite, unravel or crime and punishment
>>738412153I don't give a fuck if "it's happened before". I can still criticize it. Fucking fabnoy faggot.
>this meltdownSeek help.
>>738412153swallow that Yokoyama cum
UE5?
>>738412250I know, it's hilarious. One mention of not liking Snoop's inclusion has led to comedy gold.
>>738412287Dragon Engine
>>738412075>yes because you're just brushing off criticism like a typical fanboywell i'm just saying rgg isn't really known for 100% serious realismi think it's still a valid reply for the snoop's VA gimmick
>it's okay that they refuse to improve because they've done it beforeno wonder this franchise is in the gutter
kekstop with the bullshit, this is just plain vpol shitposting
>>738412353I never said they were. I just said Snoop is very jarring. Why did this trigger you?
>>738412412this is exactly my point
>>738412204finner
>>738412153Ishin shit isn't canon, this is a Tojo clan story
>>738412442because I love black people
>>738412442>Why did this trigger you?im not even triggered, hecki was replied by >>738411129anon, i'm just saying my thoughts on your issue with snoop's VA gimmickif that's your issue, then so be it
>trying to liken a few inflection inaccuracies in the Japanese language in Kenzan and Ishin to Snoop Dogg coming straight out of Compton into 1915 JapanAgain, I know Kenzan had hip hop. That's not my problem. Snoop's voice acting is. I'll also include his son's terrible acting too.
>>738412204Chigyu Victory
>>738396317Ado is LOVE, Ado is LIFE.>Sign In...Nah. Reading that it's filled with quota people also doesn't sound particularly interesting in the first place.
I'm black myself, and the big push for black people showing up everywhere, including stuff like raceswapping characters like Mary Jane and Ariel is really forced. It just makes people hate us more. When I point this out, I get mockingly called white boi.
>>738412597>im not even triggered, heck>heckwell then why are you still replying redditoryou simply cannot accept differing opinions
>>738412249>I can still criticize it.Yeah, you can. I think it's jarring that he speaks like he does right now too and they should try to adhere more to the time period. But his inclusion as a person makes complete sense. You guys are acting like this is a Yasuke situation when he's literally an American, the MC is an American, and the entire story starts with him being smuggled into Japan. I'm not against trying to adhere to the time period's mannerism or speech at all.>>738412287Dragon Engine.>>738412507>Ishin shit isn't canonKenzan and Ishin are both canon, Kiryu in 8 says they were memories of a past life. Dead Souls is an alternate timeline. Kenzan also has to be canon because the Houzoin family is not only in every game after Kenzan, but Shinada literally fights a descendant in the Champion Road.
the reddit spacing makes the samefagging too obvious, mix it up, nigger
>mindbreaks your threadKEK
>The majority of the comments are BEGGING for the songHoly fucking rap cringe
>>738412106Nago loves Snoop Dogg, he's probably pissed as fuck that he should have done it much sooner.
>tripfag fanboy says just accept itI'm shocked
>>738412238hearing aishite live was pretty incredible
>>738412639uh okay?if you disagree with my thoughts, then okayi'm just saying you're taking it way too seriously
>>738412648>you can >but here's why you can't
>>738412693>poltards hate him>redditfags hate himhow does he do it?
>>738396317>ado>actual rolethats... unexpected
>>738412762>i'm just saying you're taking it way too seriouslyAll I said was he's jarring and you've been crying at me all this time. I think you're the one taking it too seriously.
>snoop ruins my immersion>WOW FUCKING RACIST
>>738399224how about Yasuke's descendants
>>738411990asura chan is kino
>>738412834the mental gymnastics in this thread have given me a decent chuckle
>>738411796Because it's funny
>>738412763Where did I say you can't criticize it? I said they don't care. They've spent two games in time periods where they used modern ways of speech without caring so why would they care the third time?As a character he fits their exact world and setup so what's the issue? If it's that he's a face you know then that's fine, but then that same issue should be about literally everyone they've ever face scanned.
>>738412632I don't hate (You). I hate the people trying to force your likes on us to finally realize their dreams of a socialist utopia, that supposedly has only failed so far, because Europe and America simply hadn't been """"""diverse""""" enough, yet.
>>738412770By actually beinf a hood nigga, as in, black and proud but also casually homophobic.
>>738411796Seeing the couple of autists have a meltdown over him and spamming the same shit every minute is funny.
>>738412770he's just too based
>>738412834There is no such thing as immersion in Yakuza games, they're serious until they're very suddenly and explicitly not
>>738412795>All I said was he's jarringyeah i hear youi'm just saying rgg games aren't really that much realistic
I don't have any issues with Snoop DoggI have issue with the fact that Snoop Dogg got his Nepo-baby of a son Cordell a role in the game too.
>>738412995He also betrayed the spirit of george floyd when he performed for MAGA. Shamefur dispray.
Majima get weed
It's just Snoop's marketing team at work.
>>738412747Yeah I had goosebumps start to finish hearing it live crazy performance
>>738412412>>738412482>refuse to improve???
>they've fucked up in the past so you should let them keep doing itliteral fanboy mentality
>>738412834More like>i don't like him and think he's a shit pick>that's fine>nigger nigger nigger! there were no black people in yakuza before!>but there was>fuck off, you're triggered!
>>738413190imo the nigger posts are from people trying to falseflag
>>738413073i had never heard of this guy before but he was shockingly talentless in the interview
>>738413118fo shizzle
>AdoWho?
>>738413317unc
>>738411321>>738412115>>738412412>>738412721>>738413189Who are you quoting, vagueboy?
>>738413293Because he's not a musician or an actor, he's a fashion designer.
>>738413189Okay, so then send them e-mails complaining about this hoping you get heard. If they didn't do it in Ishin after Kenzan, and then Ishin Kiwami after Ishin, what makes you think they're going to care here? I'd like to see some adherence to the time period since doing everything but the ways of speaking seems kind of counterproductive, but they've shown this does not matter to them in any way, shape, or form.

>>738396317Did she just reveal her face in this game ?? She usually sings under an Avatar, even in her concert
>>738413385Fucking brat she needs correction
What is even the point of disbanding the yakuza if they are going to do a prequel with more yakuza right after?And what became of the Judgment series? Was it canned after Nagoshi left? Lost Judgement is easily the best RGG game and arguably one of the all time GOATs.

>>738413527Wasn't that one in the fridge because of the main actor? Probably figured they would try something else with actors in an easier to work with agency instead of insisting on Kimutaku, bringing us to this game.

hopefully they are not retarded enough to put children in this game now that they have a chance to start fresh
>>738413841you'll have infant kiryu in the near end of the game
>>738413643I vaguely recall something about the game not being allowed on PC because of the rights to the guy's image or something. But PC ports did happen so I thought the issue was settled.
>>738396317Why /v/ gets so triggered with Snoop Dogg ? I like Snoop dogg.
>>738413527>What is even the point of disbanding the yakuza if they are going to do a prequel with more yakuza right after?The Yakuza in real life got the book thrown at them to such a degree they're more akin to what Someya wanted them to be (White collar scammers) instead of the traditional "Fights on top of Millennium Tower" Yakuza and they're much smaller than they used to be. They just decided to do the disbanding thing to adhere to real life since these games more or less followed the general trends and reality of Japan at the time. I personally don't think they really know how to go from here with the Triads either because Yuta's dad explicitly said they won't come after him and Ichiban is friends with Zhou and Seonhee so there's no real reason to fight against them short of someone trying to take over the Goemijul and Liumang.>And what became of the Judgment series? Was it canned after Nagoshi left?Nagoshi was the one pushing it as a series. Kimura had issues with Johnny's (His talent agency) because of a scandal with it (He didn't do anything) and their draconian licensing nature, but they cleared that up since JER and LJ are on PC and Kimura has had no issues getting high-tier gigs in the entertainment industry despite the scandal and talent agency rebranding.We've seen with 7G and 8G Kaito, Sugiura, and Higashi are being used as major minigame characters while Sugiura and Tsukumo were hired by Zhao in 8, but I think that's where they want to leave them. I don't think Yokoyama cares about a third game, just leaving them to substories or cameos now.>>738413643>Wasn't that one in the fridge because of the main actor?No, that cleared up years ago. The fact you can buy JER and LJ on PC means that has stopped being an issue.

>>738396317Fake news that's not Ado's square jaw
>>738413947So do I. He just doesn't belong in a game set in the early 1900s. It's not a big deal though, just an odd choice.
>>738413583neat song->those comments
i have zero knowledge of RGG gameswhat's the main difference with nagoshi being in the team vs it's just yokoyama?
so are they trying to make this a new franchise?is that why they got someone as big as Snoop?
>>738414250>he doesn't belong
>>738414336noit's literally a yakuza game
Snoop will fuck Ado
It is extremely retarded to liken people saying snoop is jarring to people yelling gamer words

>>738414360kek thanks for reminding me of this
>>738396478This. Brought down the seriousness and prestige when they introduced fucking snoop dogg. blacks have never and will never be cool, the fact that the Japanese follow mutt culture to a t says a lot.

>>738414609I'm one of the people who were posting about him almost a whole year ago, when /v/edditors were coping that surely he won't be in the game, that Yokoyama just mailed him the company jacket because he's a fan of the games or some shit. You shit fucking eaters didn't listen to the canaries way back when, you kept hyping up the game.
>>738411796Why are you melting down over it this hard?

>>738414250Yes but its just cool
>>738414861fair enough
Setting wise Snoop pick is gay but you know it was one of his sons who told him to take the gig. Reminder that one of his sons has own vidya studio and works on some game,obviously 100% Snoop funds that shit but yeah thats a thing. They announced during gameawards when both were on stage giving some award so im not suprised people memoryholed that.
>>738412721>>738412412>>738411321>>738412115>>738413189why do you keep posting the same thing over and over?
>>738415028play 0 first
>>738414904NTA but that's probably my biggest gripe with it. We knew Daito was a hapa since the first teaser, but I wasn't expecting him to be born and raised outside of Japan on top of that. Making the founder of the second largest criminal organization in Japan a foreigner is a completely subversive move. It just demolishes the foundation of the series and completely shits on the early days, when they still had a yakuza researcher trying to keep the criminal backdrop at least somewhat accurate. 22 years later Yokoyama is still asshurt about Seishu.
>>738415028emulate with patches
>>738414317Games Nagoshi worked with Yokoyama on (1 until Lost Judgment) tended to be relatively more grounded in the main story, balanced sad, comedic, and serious substories more or less equally, and tended to not tread old ground more than a few times in the side content without changing stuff up after a while.Games Yokoyama has been in charge of (7G to K3) have started to add really stupid things to the main story like building-sized animals or Ichiban's schizophrenia being given to Kiryu, have pushed the Daidoji (A government cabal) significantly and started hamfisting their involvement into older games, force major minigames as required progression for the main story, are constantly retconning older games, and the substories tend to lean more towards comedic now with way more repeated jokes like the Obatarian or babies.Nagoshi was, for the most part, Yokoyama's tard wrangler. He was still in charge of some stupid things like the golden Osaka Castle in 2 but for the most part he prevented Yokoyama from pulling stupid stories like an amnesia plot for Yakuza 3 (Something Yokoyama later reused for 8G and it was basically just a plot device to get Majima a shit and otherwise offered nothing to the story) and was a check and balance for Yokoyama to rein certain things in. 7G onward is Yokoyama being allowed to do whatever he wants and for the most part he's been all over the place and generally been making the games worse.>>738415028Release. Chronological gives you the wrong ideas, starts you with over a decade of writing refinement, and now forces you to play K3 which doesn't work with 4 at all. K3 fundamentally cannot have happened in order for 4's story to work, the ending contradicts it.
>no hot women>every woman so far is basically wearing a hijab>no big boobsSo this game is censored deicuck wokeslop? Boycotted.
>>738396317>4:28
>>738396317It's pozzed, woke BS>Race mixed mutt protagonist from America>More retarded Western celebrities (about 2 years ago, RGG Studio expressed interest in adding more Hollywood celebrities such as "Keanu Reeves, Mark Hamill, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and more in upcoming games")>Forced Magical Negro trope with Snoop Dogg in pre WWII Japan>Instead of being a new IP, it's what I worst feared, a game about the Tojo clan's origins>Yokoyama, whom I already have zero trust in, will probably introduce more retarded bullshit into the Yakuza lore and backstory that fucks up with the timelineFuck this gay game. It was fun while it lasted, but after being disappointed with Yakuza 8, I think I can just retire from this once great franchise.
Never played Yakuza games because they looked like reddit quirk chungus slop for cattle but this one looks actually kino and has Ado. Preordered
>>738415348And yet here you'll be in every single thread
>>738415206https://www.thoughtco.com/the-yakuza-organized-crime-195571The Yakuza in real life were formed by outcasts. Daito himself is an outcast.
I went to Japan recently and was surprised Sotenbori was more accurate then Kamuracho. Landmarks were there but locations weren't 1:1 with the game like Sotenbori. Yes I did eat crab sushi purely because I recognized the big crab.
>>738396317more of this girl
>>738415239oh yikesi guess this is the reason why my first impression of ichiban's game looked more comedic than usualso i assume all kiwami games are also yokoyama's work? or is it just K3?
>This much seething from /pol/ babbies over the Boss Dogg4chan really is just inflammatory glowie bots and retards with nowhere else to go. God I hope Yokoyama doesn't fuck up AGAIN. This could be genuinely be RGG's magnum opus if they don't lean in to all the shit that made IW / Pirates / Kiwami 3 so bad.
>>738415464Okay, and? Does that mean they'll get my money? No
>>738415484Daito is an outcast amongst outcasts.
>>738415527Ishin Kiwami (Like a Dragon: Ishin) and Kiwami 3 are his work. K1 and K2 are when Nagoshi was still around.
>>738415028Depends, have you already decided on playing the whole series no matter what? Then release order and skip the Kiwamis.Just want to try the series to see if it's for you first? Start with 0 and work from there.>0 was trashCut your losses, series isn't for you>0 was great, I need more KiryuPlay Kiwami and keep going in order>0 was great, I want more, but I don't necessarily need more of the same protagPlay Judgment and then Stranger than Heaven.Shinzo Abe said that this is the official method of experiencing Yakuza.
>>738398773/vpol/ literally shitting and pissing their diapies because a black dude is on the screen for 7.3 seconds, absolutely pathetic.
>>738396317The color filters are fucking obnoxious, will consider playing the game once there's a mod out that removes that shit
>>738414886was it the battlefield show?
>>738415348>bitching about yokoyamaYour precious nagoshi failed to produce a game with 44 million dollars. And its a game about a gook celeb in Japan lmao. Dont throw rocks from a glass house
>>738415484They were Japanese outcasts, a fully domestic issue. None of the pre-WW2 groups was founded by fresh off the boat creaturas de las americas. And for American-founded criminal and gray area enterprises, look no further than Sega itself.
Did they release the theme song anywhere or we just on trailer snippets?
Preordered.
>>738415936not yet
>>738415749>why isn't it a bright grey mush!?
>>738396317ado is overrated as fuck
>>738415686thanksso I guess playing in release order is good enough?i probably won't play ichiban's games just because it's rpg, not really my thingso with that, i should probably stop at 6?
>>738415975YOU ARE SHITTING YOURSELF
>>738414904>>738415206>foreign protagonist tries to find a footing in another country by joining organized crimeYou can tell RGG got the inspiration from mafia and gta. Its not a yakuza game, its modeled after a mafia game.
>this many people seething over Snoop DogNuchan is so fucking lame.
>>738396317>Ado>A who?
>>738415994never said that. as it is it's just 5 palette swaps for piss filter
>>738416004Ado is cool as fuck
>>738416215I have no qualms with the celebrities themselves my problem with nuRGG is bringing these type of cancer into the fanbase
>>738416207You're just repeating random terms you saw on here
>>738416020>so I guess playing in release order is good enough?Yeah, pretty much. Like I said earlier use the restored patches for 1 and 2 and don't go above native resolution or the lighting breaks if you're emulating. 3 (With the restoration patch), 4, and 5 on PS3 are objectively better than 3, 4, and 5 on the Remastered Collection due to the 60 FPS breaking stuff and even if you lock it to 30 on PC it's still internally 60 so you can't fix it.I would still give Ichiban's games a try if you're jonesing for more because, while 7 is an underwhelming JRPG 8 fixed basically every issue outside of the EXP balance.>so with that, i should probably stop at 6?If you're adamant on not playing Ichiban games then stop at 6, and you can play Kenzan (Not translated yet, after 2 before 3), Dead Souls (After 4, before 5, non-canon AU), Ishin (The original, after 5 before 0, it has a translation patch for PS3, don't use the 60 FPS hack it breaks the game), Black Panthers 1 and 2 (PSP games, both have translation patches, in canon limbo but nothing contradicts 4 or 5), Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, Judgment, and Lost Judgment. 7G's (The Man Who Erased His Name) major parts of the story take place during the finale of 7 and you meet up with Ichiban, 8 obviously builds off of 7 (Not 7G since it was made after 8), and 8G (Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii) is a direct sequel to 8 taking place six months after the fact.
>>738416357iirc ado already had a song in judgement
>>738412204Why did he do it?
>>738416464is there a fps mod fix for 3, 4, 5, ishin in the pc?or is it playable enough with rpcs3
>>738415786You're repeating a clickbait rumor spun up by Nakaido - a youtube engagement farmer who reports mostly on AI, blockchain and gachas, and Yoshiki Okamoto - a former game dev turned blockchain and mobileshit scammer who had to flee from Japan to Malaysia. This shit was debunked by Kamiya and Ichiro Mihara (former Capcom and Square producer).
Ado is shit the same as Yoasobi and those others animeslop musicians Listen to real japanese artists (elephant kashimashi, zazen boys, Syrup16g, eastern youth, etc)
>>738416468yes and it's a really good song toohttps://youtu.be/aVt90Q2o-Zw
>>738416749>slopslopslopslopslopslopslopslopslopslop
>>738416749>if i don't like it it's slopkys seriously
>>738416438He isn't completely wrong. Later on in the RyuSta TV interview Yokoyama directly said that he plans to use different color filters for different locations and eras to emphasize the different moods.
Ado is nice but my fucking slave/wife Fuji is in the game
>>738416438well if you prefer the filter on the left good for you
Sega won.
it's always that haircut
>>738416725No. As I said the Remastered Collection on PC can be set to 30 but internally the game views it permanently at 60 so even though you're visually playing it at 30 you still have all the 60 FPS issues present. 3R can fix the dodge issues and the Heat drain issues but it can't fix the constant blocking. 4R can fix the dodge issue but can't fix the constant grabbing, the sniper that fires twice as fast as he's supposed to, or the boat sequence. 5R can't fix the translation or the Shinada gauntlet.>IshinIshin's 60 FPS issues are because the game is not supposed to be played at 60 FPS. None of these games really are. They specifically addressed the 60 FPS issues when they ported it to PS4 and even that has Heat draining issues and timing issues in fan dancing and karaoke so they didn't fix everything even when officially porting it. Just stick to the normal 30 FPS and you will have a better experience than playing it on an actual PS3 becaue an actual PS3 has screen tearing and plays at like 20 FPS.>is it playable enough with rpcs3Depends how old your CPU is. The main issue with RPCS3 is you can't save state so you're stuck with manual saves, and Dead Souls specifically is crash-prone. Restoration patch 3 is also crash-prone if you touch Answerxanswer in the arcade and sometimes mahjong or shogi.If you stay at native resolution or at max 1080p, use the game patches (Right-click the game) to fix the anti-aliasing performance drops, and have a CPU made within the past 6 years or so you should be fine.On my Ryzen 5 3600 Kenzan and 1&2 HD are the best performing out of all of them. Dead Souls ran the best after that as long as I didn't go to 1440p or 4K and ran on Nakamichi specifically (Non-Nakamichi roads are fine). 3 ran okay, 4 only ran poorly in the intro when it rains, and 5's main issue is just the constant shader compilation which I'm sure would be addressed with a better CPU since it mostly stayed at 60.
>>738417016>looks like she's in the 1951 part of the storyshe'll definitely die

>>738417183ah shit didnt know the ports has alot of issuesguess i'll deal with it once i finished 1, 2but anyway, thanks anon
>>738417183>The main issue with RPCS3 is you can't save stateYou can in the more recent builds. But it's not nearly as nice and practical as PCSX2 save states. You need to stop the game and boot from a save state.
>>738396317>that trailerYup, it's kino>b-b-but GTA 6?I don't care.
>>738413583God, that sucked.
>>738417414Oh cool, I haven't booted it up in a few months so I didn't know. That will address a lot of the issues Dead Souls had then since we had some guys here who didn't own PS3s and played it and said they got a crash every hour or so. I personally only had one crash during Karaoke in like 10 hours of play, but my play has been exclusively in PA over several years of my PS3 save primarily to do karaoke or screenshots for people.
>>738417374>1915 era...is....sepia tinged!?
>>738417551it's green, zoom zoom
>>738417532Dead Souls is IIRC the only game that has a mission replay feature instead of full chapter replay. I don't know why those slant-eyed niggers never implemented it in any of the later games, despite japs frequently requesting it.

>>738418057No, they made a fictional face for her. Yokoyama claims that they started working on the character's face before they even decided to cast Ado.
Why the fuck are you still willing to fund anything RGG makes after the recent blunders and dogshit it kept putting out?They should be going bankrupt.
>>738418057She wishes
same old boring hip hoppety nigga rap shit (that had 0% presence in Japan in the 50s or 60s) and niggers? what the fuck were they thinking?

>>738418413>what were they thinking"Snoop Dogg-san is so cool!"
1960s makoto
>>738413990They need to make the story about the government, either foreign or their own flooding the country with violent migrant browns and blacks a like who become hyper violent and start raping people and destroying public property so Kiryu now, or whoever else they decided to make a protagonist has to uncover the source of this corruption which allows such evil and destruction to flood their country and endanger their local zone they live in at least (because that will be the jumpstart to it, from small annoyance with that's going on to high stakes stuff after they decided to dig further into it).This would all go hand in hand with the currents trends of Japan and what's going on in it during current times (in which they love to set these games in).But obviously they're not going to do that because it's "offensive" to portray shit like that and because they're clearly progressive fucking faggots, especially since Yokoyama took helm, who is apparently a retarded male feminist.
>>738418712She's not even a vtuber

>>738418843why are you white

I'd like to have RGG win me over again, and Stranger Than Heaven does look better than their more recent outings, but even so they've lost some trust with me and I don't know if I'll give this a shot.
>>738419296Don't worry. Today Yokoyama announced that there will be many more presentations and interviews gradually spoiling the whole game. Between this and leaks you'll know if it's worth it by the time it comes out.
>>738413603>rags to riches yakuza story>old man Daito looks like a homeless bum in that picture>Kamurocho gameplay is being kept under wraps because they don't want to spoiler somethingthe Kamurocho section being a homeless simulator would be fucking hilarious
>>738419391They already spoiled too much in this event, if you watch anything else it's on you. Anyone should know if this is for them by now. Marketing is meant to sell games, if you're sold stop looking.
>>738419431I'm almost completely sure that he'll end up regretting the creation of Tojo, walk away from it even if it means he'll be a nobody for the rest of his life.
>>738419431old man Daito stops hiding his eyes with glasses too
>>738418413The zeitgeist is that zoomers love niggers so that's who they try to appeal to, it's not about making a coherent setting. The whole thing is more or less a cashgrab for 19 year old americans who "love japanese retro aesthetic" because they grew up with lo fi hip hop beats on youtube. They also love cool american blacks who say cool things like "crashing out" and "bruh" and "lil bro" so they want one of them in this for that. Janny warned me for posting a similar sentiment in a different thread btw. Can't freely share your opinion on 4chan anymore if some faggot power trip janny decides you did a wrongthink

>>738419463There's plenty of people curious about the new combat system, which will get more coverage closer to release.
>>738396478will never understand how you alt-right weebs see Japanese people as "honorary whites," to the point of crying over a fictional setting having "too many blacks."
>>738416357We literally cannot get worse than what 0 brought
>>738419508>noooo you can't play as a criminal who actually enjoys what he's doing>you MUST play as someone who isn't "evil" and actually a misunderstood guy who had to do what he did because of reasons he now regrets very bad and cries over it like a melodramatic little bitchgay ass feminized storytelling.
>>738419786>japan >fictionallolit's literally meant to be a historic setting and they just shoehorn niggers and gangster rap into it. It's literally a repeat of the latest trash assassins creed game where yasuke kills japanese farmers while gangster rap plays. It's one of those things where they already invested the money so they do the mistake 2-3 times. It's the same dynamic that made devs chase down concord with 3 more concords. The industry is sluggish and can not change course just because the first one failed hardAlso these threads feel astroturfed as fuck
I saw ado live it was amazing
>mixed race, America born Japonic-American goblin is the one who creates one of the biggest Yakuza clans that the main protagonist of the Yakuza series is part of and has ties to>couldn't even be an actual native Japanese man>HAS to be a mutted up foreign born one because... uhhh.... reasons???They moment Yokoyama said they are trying to cater more towards Western audiences (aka America) , it's all been going downhill.This is just a further reflection of that. They're going all in to fellate America now with this story.
>>738419786fuck off back to redit you nasty cuck. nobody likes you.
>>738420114The yakuza was mostly founded by outcasts and poor people (Koreans and chinks)
>>738420114You're putting more thought into it than they were. If you change Tojo to any other name and cut all ties with RGG, literally nothing changes about the story.This is a story about a hafu who isn't accepted in either reality carving out his own place, and the story covers his entire life. These are the core concepts, tying it to RGG is just their "we can get at least 100k more sales by doing this with no extra effort whatsoever"
>>738415348I can't wait for you to find out that Daito is actually Kiryu's father.
And now... THE YAKUZA GAME you have all been waiting on...featuringWILL SMITH AMY SCHUMER
>>738420370>will smith>like a cuckold
>>738420068>Also these threads feel astroturfed as fuckThey are. Same thing happening on 5ch all of a sudden. Before the showcase it's mostly chigyus despairing over the current state of RGG. After the showcase the long running generals are suddenly sanitized, full of polite posting and optimism. Geha is better at resisting it but it's also a slower board.
>>738415348Popping back in, have they released the song on its own yet? That shit's the best thing out of the trailer.
>>738396478>>738399224>>738405126god, how are racists this autistic?>>738398275>reee localization DEI forced them>regular celeb casting like the several others in the trailer
>>738420370It's not a Kojima game
>Nagoshi is finished>RGG sucks it's over
>>738420578Karinto is loaded after being a CCO and taking fat bribes from Sony for around 20 years. I he has any integrity left, he'll fund the rest of GOD out of his own pocket.
>>738420114>They're going all in to fellate America now with this story.This game says that America treated the main protagonist so badly, that he felt he was forced to go to another country, to try to avoid more of it. Some fellating.
>>738420068>It's literally a repeat of the latest trash assassins creed game where yasuke kills japanese farmers while gangster rap playsYou are fucking retarded because the protagonist is a half white guy like Nioh. At least watch the trailer before bitching about muh niggers killing japanese
>autists actually losing their shit over 2 black dudes in the supporting castsand L for white power indians
>>738420080sex with this cute poster
>>738420708I didn't think that in that sentence it would be very important what kind of foreigner is killing japanese people while nigger rap plays
>>738420706>muh racism badGarbage story and writing.Overdone to all hell and back to the point people don't even want to see it be written, especially when it's by retards who don't know how to tackle the theme, which RGG are known for not knowing how to do it, especially as of late with their writing being horrendous and subpar.
>>738418773If they were going to focus on anything it would primarily be the Muslims as they are the primary talking point in Japan as far as I can tell. The Nigerians are about as bad as the Chinese and Koreans but the Nigerians are mostly contained to specific places like Kabukicho as scammers while the Chinese and Koreans are primarily involved in white collar Yakuza stuff. That's if they wanted to follow any sort of real-life parallels.Realistically 9 will be about taking down the Daidoji, and then after that it has to pivot to the Chinese/Korean Yakuza, the Triads breaking down with the Goemijul's Liumang, or the Jingweon taking control of parts of Japan and Goemijul kicking them out.
GOTY if I can romance Ado
>>738420864Nobody gets killed by the protagonist in a nu yakuza game lol.
>AAAAAAAA I NEEEEEEEED THE SONG DUUUUUUDE
>>738420969You're just pretending to not get the point on purpose, as you shill faggots usually do. It's a yakuza game where nigger rap plays and you play as a hafu. It's retarded even if the deaths arent diegetic, you stupid faggot.
>>738420969At the same time a lot of people get tragicomically shot and die when Kiryu shows up.
>>738396317they made her cute af
>>738420068The game leans heavily into Jazz. Guess which community invented Jazz, you fucking retard?
>>738421019why are you this autistic?
>>738421112Concession accepted faggot
>>738396317The singer Ado? Is Phantom Siita in with her?
>>738420886But they already did? Did you forget about tachibana? He was a half Jap half chink rapebaby that was hated everywhere he went and forced his way in the Japanese criminal/real state market by being an evil son of a bitch, they'll probably do that again but with a friends to enemies arc with the other guy that came with Makoto on the boat
>>738421247That's not me but based, I'll go post in there too
>>738420068>actual autismDid I stutter, short-bus? Kamurocho doesn't exist; the Tojo clan was never a thing. You can base a game in/on L.A, but it will always be an artist's reinterpretation. You can't use "period piece" as an excuse to throw an autistic tantrum over how much you hate black people existing
>>738421234Wasn't niggers who exported it to Japan. Jews were hugely into spreading it. Jews also owned the ships and international trade routes.
>>738420308>If you change Tojo to any other name and cut all ties with RGG, literally nothing changes about the story.How the fuck would you know if you haven't even played it?
Unless Snoop does one of his moves from those Def Jam games I'll continue to think he's a retarded choice to put in the game. He's a 54 year old man and his acting skills are dogshit, not to mention he probably cost an arm and a leg so why the fuck would they do this?
>>738421564>De JoozBack to /pol/, scat eater.
>>738421663>not to mention he probably cost an arm and a legHe's a D-lister. He takes virtually any job or advertising opportunity handed to him. I sincerely doubt he cost anything more than hiring any of the other singers.
>>738420886>person who is intolerant of others>hates stories about tolerating others
>>738421264>strawman>get told what the actual argument is>YOU MOVED THE GOALPOSTS!!lmao
Anyone who's against Snoop in a video game is a newfag, he's literally /v/ culture people used to joke about SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY with him and all that.
>>738420521kys
>>738421693Sega was founded by a jew, David Rosen, who remained the chairman until 1996.
>>738421861I'm very racist but Snoop is a legend so I will support his endeavours.
>>738421619I played it in my dreams
>>738421321If Snoop can have his son in the game so can Ado have her daughters in it as well
>>738421354So not only are they recycling assets for these games over and over again, but now they're also recycling the writing and character arcs?
>>738421861there's a thing called time and placeit was funny in CoD, it's not funny in a yakuza game and just ruins the entire theme. Obvious pandering decision
>>738421861If you wanna know why there is always a few poster bitching about snoop dogg besides muh nigger look no further
>>738422008gb2r
can someone not retarded make a webm of the last 5 seconds of the trailer, with all the fast transitions of the dude walking putting on his hatvery cool looking
>>738421861Memes older than 90% of the newfaggots that post here that I thought were funny when I was younger don't mean I want some dude that can't fucking act in a game that has parts where the VAs need to act well.
>>738422085

>>738422191Start doing this.
>>738422191>>738422085This is the most organic marketing material release i've ever seen, good job
>these two black men ruined muh immersion! >REEEEE why is the protag half white American?It's like a parody at this point, you sharty kids need to do better
>>738420114Japan wants that Japanese-American alliance
>>738422293I wish I got paid to post webms I made yesterday in 3 minutes, sounds like a nice job.
>>738422341Who are you quoting?
Screaming sex with Ado
>>738422085Why not 1080p? Why make the ending last multiple seconds? Why leave those transition frames in too?
>>738422410Meant to also reply to >>738422191, had a brain fart. Seriously though, we have VP9 now and there's a 4MB limit. No need to skimp anymore.
>>738422405this thread
>>738413317this is how I feel right now, fucking hell it finally happened
>>738422341>>these two black men ruined muh immersion!Snoop Dogg DOES ruin immersion, actually. He can't fucking act. He's not different than when they put fucking Megan Foxx in mortal kombat.
>>738422410kino
>>738422002Always have been. 10 billion to 100 billion yen. Children of foreign crime moguls fucking shit up in 2 and 6. Haruka had similar story arcs and endings in Kenzan and 5. Someya was supposed to be another Mine and Hirose family was another Ryudo family kind of gig. Jingu and Munakata fights were pretty similar. Yasuko and Makoto (Makimura) causing the same kind of trouble by running away from the men who put their lives on the line to protect them.
It's interesting seeing the difference in audiences, english chats always react to the control system with "It's a Soulslike?" but japanese chats hear the "buttons for each side of his body" and start posting "IT'S ARMORED CORE">>738422410>Why not 1080p?Too big, I have a 1080p monitor, looks bad>Why make the ending last multiple seconds?>Why leave those transition frames in too?I thought it looked cool.
what are some essential yakuza kinos?
>>738411990Based and baseballpilledCrime and Punishment is also great, even if it's a cover.
>>738422604Judgment
>>738422548>Too big, I have a 1080p monitor, looks badNah, we have hover-over-image to automatically make it smaller unless you inline it. There's no reason to go smaller on these things outside of trying to save on filesize to make the quality better and you're not even close to 4MB.>I thought it looked cool.Fair enough. I personally think it lasts way too long and just awkwardly hangs there and the transition right at the end doesn't really flow that well into the transition at the start.
>>738396317omg omg omg it's that guy we used to like when we were kids omg omg omg i'm busting out his funko pop i'm so freaking happy

>>738411990I'm a Controversy is pretty good.
>>738422809>I have no clue who this is.mp4Seriously am I only supposed to know this bitch if I'm a woman or something?
Seeing this part reminds me of Jackie Chan's Miracle.
>>738422971Probably. Women are the new target audience after all.
>>738422971Apparently she was in an animation that was popular in Japan, because this japanese lady watching it didn't know her either but her chat said "she voices a character in SING" and she reacted like that was a really big deal.
>>738421861yeah but he doesn't belong in a game set in the turn of the centuryalso that SMOK WEEB is newfag shit
>literally just spamming screencaps from the videoastroturfing is getting incredibly sad. There is no universe in which anyone thinks this kind of shit is organic. absolute waste of money hiring you retards
>>738422809>more mystery meatI'm tired bossu
The only thing that upsets me about this is that it will have denuvo. Otherwise cool looking game
>winterwhy the fuck is it so far awaythey used to release game so quickly
>>738423183They've been doing Q1 releases for a while, this year's slot is taken by Kiwami 3.

>>738423248>Kiwami 3I'm vomit
>>738423094>SING????
>>738423178Do they even add Denuvo to the gamepass versions?
>>738422781I can't imagine browsing the site without 4chan X or XT. I've been using X since the guy released the script. It's nothing but quality of life.
>>738422543To be fair, the execution of the "sons fucking up everything for their dads directly because of their shitty parenting" was executed excellently in yakuza 6 and the payoff of the letter to daigo is one of the greatest moments in the medium.
>>738423123How tf is this astroturfing?
>>738423132Why do you use terms you don't understand?
>>738423312Never heard of it either, which is why I'm assuming it was popular in Japan.
>>738423336elaborate
>>738423334Do you know what astroturfing is to be asking this question
this reminds me of Pittbull rapping during the end credits of Gottitone deaf attempt to appeal to the masses
>>738423336What's her ethnicity?
>>738396317can I smoke weed in the game?
>>738423336she is basically mystery meat you retard
Why are they doing "cast reveals" for video games as if it's some kind of fucking movie or tv show that is meant to soar through based on celebrity recognition and appearance alone?It's a fucking video game... Celebrity / Actor cameos shouldn't be the focus nor the selling point for them.If anything, you could at the very least do a "cast reveal" of the main fucking characters that will play a role in the story without having to list who plays them.
>>738422604Battle without honor and humanity is the yakuza godfather
>>738423418no but you can smoke weebs
>>738423326Yeah, I'd say it was done better than Ryuji's story.
>>738423123>people posting images on an imageboardYou dipshits get more retarded every year.
>>738423443>Why are they doing "cast reveals" for video games as if it's some kind of fucking movie or tv show that is meant to soar through based on celebrity recognition and appearance alone?first RGG game?
>>738423443I don't disagree with you in essence but how is it different from a movie or TV show? Shouldn't the characters and writing speak for themselves in those too?Celebrity culture is a warped perception of what matters in art no matter the medium, of course gaming wouldn't be immune to it.
is the MC white or mixed race?
>>738423443Because the face actors have been one of the main appeals for the Yakuza series since Kenzan. It's free advertising and gets people interested. 6's entire existence was predicated on the fact that they got Kitano for it on top of Tatsuro Yamashita to do the music.
>>738423443Yakuaza series is pretty much Movie Game: Japan.
>>738423443RRG has casted pretty much every major Japanese actor/seiyuu and they're a HUGE selling point for these games. Hell when they got beat takeshi he was almost as big on the cover of the game as the MC, the entire judgement series started because they got one of the biggests stars in japan to be the main character of the game
>>738423549Probably Chinese or Korean mixed with Japanese. Be for real they'd never put a white guy in a main cast role for a Yakuza game unless he was a bad guy like the fed from 3.
>>738423542There are video games out there who don't put much focus on story or characters and are just pure gameplay, so they advertise based on that entirely.
>>738423557truth nuke
>>738423123I posted the women from the trailer because I believe in displaying such qualities to the board for their preference. Are you some sort of invalid?
>>738423549White yankee father, Japanese mother>>738423649He's confirmed half White, where do you think the blue eyes come from
>>738423617Not to mention every single game prominently features every major face actor on their boxart. 7 is a great example because Nanba is as important to the box as Arakawa and Sawashiro due to who he is.
>>738396317What exactly do you do in this game
>>738423724rise to the top
>>738423617They already had so many actors appear that now they're resorting to licensing the faces of deceased actors, starting with Bunta Sugawara getting whored out by his wife and daughter.
>>738423708>where do you think the blue eyes come fromNuclear waste induced eye coloration.
>>738423706you even talk like a marketter lol
>>738423708>where do you think the blue eyes come fromAD-9 obviously
>>738423708>where do you think the blue eyes come fromHe's Sans.
>>738423782No, I do not, in fact a marketer would never speak as stodgily as I default to. Once again, are you an invalid?
>>738423708BEWTOFURR EYES
>>738423782what fuckin marketer has ever talked like that in history
>>738423809>Makoto was the only successful candidate for AD-9.
>>738423718>Remembering how much of a fucking slog the end of 7 wasGod damn, I'm glad I haven't played any of the new games since they seem to just be the same shit.
>>738423668I know you're using this to compare it to god of onions but they couldn't be more different, one is meaningless padding for exposition and boring introductions while the other is setting up in less than 10 minutes these two are inseparable brothers, 0 was my first yakuza game and I immediatly bought kiryu and nishiki were bros thanks to watching them walk around and talk shit on kamurocho
>Snoop Doogawesome>in the early 1900sahahahaha NO
>>738396317>All of those time skipsIs it going to be more of a linear narrative game? Couldn't imagine the logistics of making a hub world set up work.
>>738423909>0 was my first yakuza gameopninion discardeddon't make me post the Y6 intro
>>738423549He's the internet is serious business guy.
>>738423907>slog The fuck? The ending of 7 has the yakuza dissolution, kiryu fight, arrival at kamurocho and the raid of the millenium tower. Its one of the best in the whole series
>>738424007holy fuck that takes me back
>>7384239595 eras5 citiesOne protagonist
>>738423959Dw anon they will find a way to use the sad substory song
>western movie game: =(>eastern movie game: =)
>>738423959Probably one hub for each time period, and then at the final or second to last hub they introduce a feature of you talking to a friend about your memories, which lets you hop back to a previous time period to mop up sidequests you left behind.
Let me guess.... This Makoto Daitou guy is going to be Kiryu's father, huh? I swear to fuck, if they pull this retarded shit...
What was the last Japanese game that didn't trigger the fuck out of southeast asians?
>>738423959We'll clearly go in a linear fashion and then in the last chapter right before the final boss they'll offer us the ability to do the time warp again. Since there's five separate towns (So five hubs) there's gotta be exclusive content to each that's going to be easy to miss.
>>738423874They're getting replaced by AI so they only have the retarded dogshit ones left that work for 5 cents an hour
>>738424254I thought his parents were korean
>>738424285pragmata
>>738423969The 6 intro was good, you see the fallout of haruka's retarded decision, how she inherited kiryu's worst impulses (like every child of the story, because thats the theme of the game) and the setup of the mystery, the only yakuza game with a weak beginning is probably 2 and maybe infinite wealth
>>738424069It just went on for way too long for how much substance it had, especially since I was overleveled to shit so nothing mattered at that point and I just wanted to get to Ichiban and Masato confronting each other.
>>738413583Ugly
>>738424254Impossible, Yokohama confirmed kazama won't show up and he's the one who kills his parents
>>738423782>stop talkin' dem fancy words like them school fellas
