Punished Makotohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avpTgTNadh4
this is their next 5 and 0
How's 3 Kiwami now? Have they patched the shit bits or is it still trash?
>>738445886No idea, I don't play remakes.
>>738444675Failure. This will have to sell 10m to be a success. No one in the west cares.
>>738446651>SEA pulling fake numbers out of their dirty ass it's a day that ends in y
>snopp dogg I think casuals will buy it just for him alone
>>738446974>hating on snoopfag
>>738446974I think another big factor is how Makoto is being marketed as more of a rising Italian mafia kind of figurehead instead of how RGG traditionally just depicts the yakuza as slightly different flavors of honor bound crooks, and his appearances especially in the middle to late eras invoke both the Godfather and Scarface. They're setting him up to come off like a run-down Kiryu in 1965 but this being the first RGG game where you play as someone that starts from nothing, accumulates years of yakuza experience while aiming for something legitimate that he then achieves, but inevitably sees corrupt overtime is a lot more of a classic crime story than what RGG normally does.
>>738445886>Have they patched the shit bitswhy would theyyokoyama is hellbent on re-writing everything with his daidoji time jannies
Is there any point in playing the first 3 Yakuza games now that there are remakes?
>>738444675>shown at a microsoft event>both sony and microsoft age restricted the video >sony still 2x-ed the views kek there's way too many different uploads of this trailer though, it's got around 2 million views in total on youtube which is p. good seeing how no one watches shit on youtube anymore
>>738447727i dont watch trailers period because they're pointless. games, especially aaa games, always change far too drastically by the time they're actually released.
lmao the fucking nepotism of putting snoop doggs kid in as well.
>>738447168>nips happy to see snoop dogg in the game >SEAs malding
Looks like an amazing return to the gritty vibe of earlier yakuza games. I hope they don't lean away from the fact that the Tojo family is a crime syndicate.
>>738446905>yAy
>snoop for the boomers>Ado for the zoomers RGG going for mass appeal tactics
>>738446905See>>738447168Financial success
>>738447915im hoping they do something new with action combat. they have kind of just been rehashing the same gameplay for over a decade, maybe with nagoshi gone they can do something actually interesting.
>>738448215They already made pretty clear that they're doing something pretty much completely different with the combat Having to stop mid fight to collect sounds from enemies is something they can do s lot of fun stuff with
>>738447915You fucking know they are gonna make them dindus who are just mean and tough and the later chairmen lead the clan to real despicable crime
>>738448005lmao
>>738448014>35>I like bothwhat am I?besides a massive faggot, I mean
>>738448487>later chairmenonly the second chairman (Makoto's successor) would be able to properly pull that off since every other chairman has been covered by the series already. Unless Makoto becomes truly despicable after founding the Tojo Clan.Third was Sera, Fourth was Kiryu, Fifth was Terada (hidden Korean), Sixth and final chairman was Daigo.
>>738447450Makoto will probably be kicked out from Tojo not long after he built it, remember they don't do actual mafia protagonist
>>738448691Was the founder ever mentioned/shown?
>>738448927They'll go mafia brawler and yakuza 9/0. Form there they will try to ship out aaa titles.
>>738448959First and second chairman was never shown, they probably planned to do a game about tojo origin early on. Kind of obvious what will happen.
>>738449129YeahI'm just unhappy that we won't see kazama, kuze and the marketing guy. And least not for long. Strongly dislike the community leveraging with snoop, but this shit works. Look how grrm made er to a massive success.
where is the asmongold video complaining about blacks in 1930s japan
>>738444675I'm pretty confident that this will be RGG's best game
>>738449313The masses have declared it a good trailer which means Asmong will like it now.
>>738448959English version of Yakuza 6 mentions the Tojo Clan founder by name. His name is Makoto Tojo.
>>738449261It's actually a good thing yokoyama didn't just do the low hanging fruit fanservice. Maybe he's self aware enough about IW's bad points.
>>738449334I fucking hope so. I can't stand another release of quirk chungus the game from rgg.
>>738449261They can still make a game covering the early days of the Tojo and ending it sometime before December 1988 which is when Yakuza 0 begins. Same for a 0 sequel with Nishiki as the main character, (and covering his fall to darkness in greater detail) taking place during the 10 years Kiryu was in jail.
>>738444675>introduced cool new protagonist >he'll already be elderly by the end of his first gameWhy do they keep doing this
>>738449651This is obviously a one off thing since Makoto is 100% dead in the ending
>>738449360>>738449313Y'all do know Asmongold doesn't care about historical accuracy, right?
>>738449793How will they reuse the cities then?
Adork
>>738450859CUTE AF
>>738447168Snoop Dogg is always an antagonist in the games he's in. During the trailer, we see a few seconds of the Snoop boss. He is the main enemy of the first arc.
>>738450215Kazama sequel
Find the secret antagonist who's close to the protagonist
>watch reaction videos to reveal>literally nobody is reacting to Bunta>everyone is losing their shit to AdoSo I guess everyone is just a fucking fraud huh? Like how can you be a fan of Yakuza and not watch THE yakuza film
this game looks like shit to me. the fact snoop dog is in it makes me 100% never going to buy or play it.
>daiTO>shinJOok I see how it works
>>738449517It's is a good thing, I did hope for a kazama kuze game set in the 60s. >Maybe he's self aware enough about IW's bad points.He certainly is. They lost a lot of cash there. Lost as in could've had tons more.>>738449459>Yakuza 6Basically yakuza 3 2
>not yakuza>it's actually yakuza againThis series is cursed and should have ended with 2The worst part is that Amusement Vision used to make absolutely great games in diverse genres
>>738449641>Same for a 0 sequel with Nishiki as the main characterThat would be something. Could be the best yakuza. Would need a second protag. Majima ofc
>>738450859Did they face scan her? Cute!!
>>738450215They haven't reused the towns from 5 as far as I know. Non Kamurocho and Sotenbori area could've been just a small area.
>>738451959>This series is cursedAnd gone, ye
>>738450859She's in.
>>738452083they didn't
why is the song so damn good
>>738446905
>>738453325>SEA>Indians
>>738444675>snoop dogYeah, that's a no from me and my lot, lol
>>738453325Nobody says SEA when referring to India, you stupid jeetoid.
>>738448661lmao get out of here, grandpaI'm 31 also like both, tho Ado more
>>738450859my beloved
>>738452996they did
>>738444675>Snoop dog>Random v-tuber singerLonely millennials are going eat this shit up
>>738454193no, they only scanned her feet.
>>738454252you can't just say that and not show any proof
>>738444675>nips are happily putting browns in their games nowlmao looks like the kikes finally got to them
>>738447652>kiwami 1Its okay, even if its a shame the original atmosphere is gone>Kiwami 2playable only if you mod in the original music because the new one actually ruins entire scenes, imagine if Michael jackson started playing when Michael killed fredo in the godfather its THAT bad>kiwami 3 looks worse than the original, has shit retcons, shit recasts and cuts a lot of content. Play the original with the rising dragon mod to make the combat fun
>>738444675>MakotoIs this Makoto Tojo, the Tojo founder? Or some other Makoto? God there's too many Makotos in Yakuza already.
>>738454402Yeah. The tojo was founded by a hapa
>>738444675This guy is a WW2 hafu rape baby from USA's occupation apparently
>>738454193Yokoyama said they didn't, it's an original character design.
>>738454487>Born 1895-1897>WW2 rape baby???
>>738444675Have they released the song stand-alone yet?
>>738454460How are they gonna work in that little snippet about him being famous for owning mean dogs?
>>738454568there's nothing to scanshe has been completely AI this whole time
>>738453325>this image hash been posted almost 200 timeslol..
>>738447168>i fucking LOVE ugly niggers in historical japanese settingsliterally another Debra Wilson situation
>>738454487No, his dad just liked to travel.
>>738450859I've never heard of this chick until this trailer, and apparently she's one of the most popular up-and-comers in Nipland who can headline whole concerts."It" has truly left me behind.
I FOUND A PLACEEEEWHERE I'M NOT ALOOOONEE
>>738447652Yeah every Kiwami remake is much worse than the original version
>>738455086Same "literal who" untill I googled "her" today, "her" music isn't to my taste so no wonder
>>738451340it's just his likeness, it's cool but the real deal is unfortunately dead
>>738454938Snoop Dog is just Debra Wilson after transitioning
>>738451340>BuntaQRD?
>>738454568source?
>>738448927thisthey're so careful on not putting more makoto scenes during the 60s
>>738455348>QRDJapanese Clint Eastwood
do you think yokoyama can pull of a serious story this time?
>>738455492>Serious storyHalf of Makoto's dialogue in the trailer is about music.
>>738455492>do you think yokoyama can pull of a serious story this time?Dude, the trailer mf snoop dog in it. What do you think?
>>738455194it's a acquired taste for me. I don't really like her the first time I hear her either.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khplMpm4ctcthis one is my turnpoint.
>>738448927The fact that they refer to Yu Shinjo as Makoto rival kind of hints where it will all go. Others have pointed out that if you take the "To" from Daito and the "Jo" from Shinjo that you get Tojo. Yu will probably betray Makoto at the end of the 1951 arc and take the reigns of the Tojo clan completely leading to the state of Makoto being back to rags by the 60s.

>>738454345Japs loved blacked porn before it even was a thing in the West. But white man/jap woman pairing makes them seethe furiously
>>7384554927 can be pretty serious if you cherry-pick certain cutscenes. Of course even the "serious" plotline fell flat on its face. Aoki/Masato didn't know? That would've been the best explanation for his behavior towards Ichiban, Arakawa and Sawashiro and he had to have found out when he did all those medical tests for his surgery, but he didn't know?
>>738444675so not to get all cutural war or anything but why is Snoop chinese?
>>738455806just a silly gimmickhe's supposed to be a smuggler fu manchu martial artist
>>738455806He's a smuggler, the presentation calls him Orpheus.
>>738455568Eh, I prefer the male vocals in the original better
>>738455903>>738455958i just think they should have cast a chinese person to play a chinese characteri don't like blackwashing
>>738455771>But white man/jap woman pairing makes them seethe furiouslyThe protagonist in this one has blue eyes, btw
>>738455492Yeah, but if you expect the game to be 100% then that is going to be wrong.I do expect the end of the 1951 era and the 1965 arc to be nothing but misery porn likely ending with Makoto's death. The thing is at least his hopes for the Tojo clan do come true in the future once Daigo takes over.
>>738450859I kinda want to kiss her on the lips?
Do you want the game to play through the eras chronologically or have you jumping between them?
>>738455993i wouldnt worry too much about ithe's only relevant during the 1915s
Why do people romanticize the yakuza and the mafia? There's nothing glamorous about extortion, peddling drugs and forcing women into prostitution.
>>738455771>Japs loved blacked porn before it even was a thing in the WestAll in his mind?
>>738455771>Japs loved blacked porn before it even was a thing in the WestIndian hands typed this post
>>738456158you havent watch any mafia/yakuza films?
>>738456158because people get bored with cop, doctor, fireman, soldier stories and want something else
>>738456158>There's nothing glamorous about extortion, peddling drugs and forcing women into prostitution.but enough talking about the jews
>>738456158The same reason the USA worships nigger's rapping about all the crimes they've commited
>>738455969I listened to ado version first and it ruined the original for me.
>>738456209 Yeah anon it’s the secret cabal of JAV producers beaming BBC mind control rays straight into Tokyo. Definitely not just supply/demand and dudes clicking whatever’s novel that week.People on here act like entire countries have some unified fetish brain. It’s porn. Trends happen. Then something else trends. That’s it.
>>738456578Why don't we see any BWC JAVs though?
>>738456158One Piece glorifies piracyBreaking Bad glorifies drug dealingWe are attracted to bad things.
>>738456838Not as "aesthetic" because asian skin is already white-ish.

>reach 1943 era>save game and never progress to not lose the fit
>>738457118holy fuck thats pimped outim hoping u can go back into memories or some shit tho
>>738457001I've always found it puzzling why "yellow" was ever used for east asians when they they don't look any more yellow or less white than europeans do.
>>738455492It will probably be more serious than most RGG games, but I don’t think they will ever treat it 100% serious. It’ll be like Cowboy Bebop or Samurai Champloo in which it’ll be serious when it needs to be and the overall plot won’t be treated as a joke
>>738456838>Why don't we see any BWC JAVs though?Japs are too insecure about the white men stealing their women they call 'em "Pocahontas Joshi" a derogatory term for Nip women who've been with White men, but with blacks it's equivelent to beastiality to them so they aren't as insecure about it
This is the most ambitious Yakuza yet
>>738450859NOT dorkyNOT a sperg
>>738457214"yellow skin" is more directed towards chinks, i believe? See picrel.
>>738457118This game more than any of the others really warrants a premium adventure mode
>>738456158all the ideals of brotherhood, strength, loyalty and honor are always attractive, this is something the games constantly comment on and deconstruct, with the man who erased his name ending basically saying either it's all bullshit or not near enough to offset the harm they cause
>>738457236>Japs are too insecure about the white men stealing their womenThat's all asians, not just nips, lol
>>738455791why would they do a dna test with his father when he had surgery on america? besides. Him not knowing just adds to the tragedy of all 4 of them. I doubt it would have changed anything but you can't help but dream of a world where masato wasn't such an insecure little bitch that killed everyone in his life. Ichiban proved at the very end it could have been possible, that masato wasn't a complete monster, it's so fucking sad
>>738456158People like companionship and belonging. It’s why dudes like war movies, or lord of the rings. Some of the best scenes in crime films is when the MC and his buddies are shooting shit or shooting the shit
>>738457214>>738457379Asiatic skin does actually have yellow undertones, so it looks more yellowish than actual "white" skin.
I don't exactly expect the protagonist to go around raping and torturing, but they did go out of their way to make it extremely clear that you're killing niggas left and right in combat. I don't get the fear of it being too sanitized and him being an innocent little angel or whatever.Judged by the same standard that considers Kiryu to be the normal, this guy is a mass murderer from trailers alone.
>>738457981He's gonna be another Arthur Morgan type another "We must be better men" character. Not very original.
>>738457789So it's a matter of complexion rather than skin tone?
>>738447168redditor
The only game I thought Snoop was great in was Def Jam Fight for NY.
Having a timeskip from 1943 to 1951 feels just long enough that they can avoid having to deal with the nuking. Japan was well on its way with restoration by that point.
>>738458293Yeah, they both have "fair" skin, but one is a warm pink and the other a pale yellow.
>>738458369snoop is 4ch af tourist
>>738458492>Having a timeskip from 1943 to 1951 feels just long enough that they can avoid having to deal with the nuking.Pussies. We don't call them yellow bellied for nothing, lol. Say what you want about Germany but at least they own up to both WW1 and 2.
>>738458492I want to see yakuza deal with american occupation and how they felt about the country being raped, gaped and reshaped by america. I imagine it must have been humiliating as fuck for the so called "last samurai"
>>738458543Not any more Unc
>>738458630You could specifically call these devs pussies for not wanting to deal with it but there are so many stories from Japan about the direct impact of ww2 on the country
>>738458689
>>738444675S-shinada? Is that your dad
>>738458492It's possible, but one of the eras takes place in Hiroshima, seems like a weird choice if they want to completely avoid it being a part of the story. His american heritage too could have been anything else if they didn't want to approach this topic, like Portuguese since they have a long history with Japan.I think it's more likely that it'll come up in the story, just not in a political way, maybe something like him getting a girlfriend or making a friend for life during his time in Hiroshima and that person no longer being a part of his life in 51.>>738458684This I think is already kind of confirmed to be a topic, in the Osaka era. The narration says that "people praised Japan on the surface, but engaged with foreign culture for entertainment, which reshaped japanese culture"Will probably have both the ideological conflict side and the making money side. Also the Yakuza vs Mafia conflict, and how refusing to adapt could mean a loss in influence.
>>738453325rangeban india and SEA immidiately
why is he so hot bros
>>738458970I guess it also adds to the theme of being a complete outsider. Not accepted in America, not accepted in Japan, but at the same time carving out a place for yourself in Japan, and then seeing it transform, the newfound western influence will also feel foreign for someone living in Japan for his whole adult life when as a child american culture was already foreign to him.He'll never be japanese, but this american wave taking over the country both by culture and by force is just as alien to him as it is to japanese people. It's not his culture.
>>738458684It is weird that the story takes place when it does and is literally centered around a half american protagonist but they haven't shown a single american occupying soldier yet. I hope they dont pussyfoot around the topic
>>738459149He definitely feels like the most handsome RGG protagonist with Akiyama 2nd
>>738459240I hope there won't be anything gay like "War is le bad", "I have no enemies" etc, in the game. I've seen that enough in Japanese media.
>>738459329Akiyama is ugly as shit
>>738459329eurasian genesme n marki knowand eddie van halen RIPbut man all the women in this were 10/10

Too many fujoshis in this fanbase
>738459928how many times now
>>738459943When the games are attractive older men fighting eachother shirtless while trying to protect children, you really should be surprised
>"You play as Makoto, son to an American dad and Japanese mother"Yokoyama almost seemed proud saying that. Are all nip men genuine cucks? Most of their renowned IPs feature white men as protagonists with asian love interests too (see Resident Evil, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Final Fantasy 7, Attack on Titan, Chainsaw Man, Kaguya Sama)
I recently saw a video about Yakuza 5 and I couldn't help but notice how some characters have disproportionately large hands in the animated cutscenes, like their hands could cover their entire face from chin to hairline.
>>738460153Clearly he isn’t proud of his American heritage or he wouldn’t have left for Japan
>>738454345Mack says Hi
>>738459943I thought it was more about yumes that want Kiriyu as their husbando. Most anyone in Yakuza is too old for fujo shit and is firmly in the old men bara territory.
>>738460153>goku>whitejirensissy...
>>738460153Anon use your brain a little bit. He follows up by talking about the prejudice at the time, and that he flew to Japan, where people should look just like him.He has bright blue eyes that would stand out even next to other blue eyed people. The trailer shows an NPC telling him they don't like his kind. It's obviously a story setup to him finding out he doesn't belong in his promised dream land either.Do you also browse your phone while watching movies?
Thoughts?

>>738459240They've shown almost nothing from eras 4 and 5 in general and Era 4 is the only one that would really have occupying soldiers
Trying to piece things from the trailer. I think Makoto is going to become a Yakuza at the end of 1915, but due to his status as a half-Japanese he never gets to move up the chain which is why he seems to be the equivalent of a debt collector even 14 years after joining. I guess Makoto develops an even bigger complex about being half which is why ue dons glasses covering his eyes starting in 1929. Shit happens between Makoto and his boss and he gets shipped off to Sontenbori, like Majima when he was punished, and Makoto goes all in on being a showman from 1929 to 1943
>>738460347Ichiban's grandma looking fine
>>738460347100 yen an hour take it or leave it
>>738460439>acting like they're not going to pull off a "woah, japan just as bad to hafus actually"Yeah, but notice how he stays in Japan for the next 50 years
>>738460347Cute, but likely going to die. She's likely going to be Makoto's Yumi equivalent but with at least something showcasing what their relationship was.
this game feels like it is aimed more at western weebs than actual japanese people
>>738460347fat face
>>738460624It’s because japan is more interested in games like pokopia and other comfy game stuff
>>738460347Fuck the foreign girl.Marry this girl.Kill Ado.
>>738459928>trailer is sub onlywhat did they mean by this?
>>738460624Japs are always getting cucked, lol
>>738460335I just acknowledged that >>738460439unless you meant to reply to other anon>>738460557Clearly more of a "has to" than want to situation. I don't see how place of residence is relevant here anyway
>>738459928>The sales tell a different story and are tepid and worse entry after entryJust like the games. This could be a turning point for them IF they switch their business model. But that will depend entirely on the sales of this.If this is another Yakuza 0 moment for them and they want to keep the global momentum going, they need to drop the asset flips and focus entirely on the big budget sequel. You will lose your good will if you keep releasing your Kiwami 3s and Pirates in Hawaii after Stranger than Heaven.
>>738460705Did the dubs even do anything other than fill the pockets of North American chinks sales-wise? You can't even say "now you don't have to read!" because there's so much unvoiced shit in these games.
>bro kino
I hope you get to actually get to kill people in this game. Kiryu using guns and blades is retarded when all of his enemies live
>>738461147>I hope you get to actually get to kill people in this gamehave you not watched the gameplay?
>>738460705Makoto being bilingual is supposed to be a plot point so it wouldn't make sense if it was dubbed.Frankly, I think that's just an excuse to not hire american VAs since dubbing was always for convenience regardless. I'm fine with it since the dubfags are buying it lmao.
>>738460863Shame Gang of Fat Gook is dead. I'm not sure if I was going to play it at all, but it would've given Sega a reason to try a little harder, plus maybe some well-received mechanic from it they could've copied.
>>738460705It’s bilingual which is better because a japanese dude doing rough english is more compelling acting then fucking Yongyea anime dub shit
>>738461421he shoulda cast Snoop Dogg, maybe then he would have got the rest of his funding
>>738461209Kiryu is just as brutal yet his opponets survive having their necks broken and their spines shattered
>>738461551this is not kiyru
>>738461626He's saying gameplay animations don't reflect the character
Getting on the topic of gameplay. Apparently you don’t pick up weapons from the environment and instead it’s inventory. Why would you use fists over something like a dagger that you can pull out any time
>>738461724Durability maybe
is there a release date/window? do you think this has a chance to come out this year? there is NOTHING TO FUCKING PLAY right now
>>738461551when has kiyru driven knife into dudes while blood spews outmaybe i forgtot
>>738461782I think they said it's later this year
>>738461313it looks like all the main dialogue between the main characters is in english and the rest in japanese. seems to be a novel approach, wonder how the japanese will like it
>>738461782winter, so probably early next year. i doubt they will release it in december
>>738461848They say his japanese gets better over the years so it might be that the english parts are front loaded
>>738461782It's this winter. Aka they will find out when GTA6 is releasing and plan around that
>>738461827You can stab and shoot people in gameplay. Majima uses a dagger as his main weapon. Even in ishin ryoma cuts through hundreds of people and only a few die canonically
>>738461839good, i'm not fond of the fact that mr. sellout himself is a major part of the game, but if the reviews are good i might get it close to launch>>738461897winter does sound more like early next year, yea. they will also probably want to give some time for people to stop playing GTA6 like the other anon said
>>738461848I doubt they'll be speaking english between just the japanese cast, and the game is still mainly japanese cast
>>738454938Debra wilson is /our/girl
>>738460624Its more like they played mafia recently. What more yakuza stories can you write about the japanese only domestic issues? It gets tiresome after 8 games talking about the same shit
>>738461848it's like inglorious basterds, characters will speak in the language that they would actually speak, when makoto is speaking with random Japanese people it will be Japanese, when he's with other hapas/americans it will be english, when the italians are among themselves they'll speak italian and on and so forth
>>738462161they kinda ran out of road with the whole yakuzas getting disbanded thing so it makes sense they have to go back in time

>>738444675Give it to me straight, GTAVI or STH? https://youtu.be/xaN83gVwJ60
>>738468750No PC port for GTA for a year or so, so STH it is.
This might be the first RGG game I'm willing to fork over 80 dollarinos or whatever retarded price tag it will have day one

>>738470402It's been a staple of the Yakuza series since it started, you just didn't recongnize any of them because they weren't American.
>>738470402>>738470465Kiwami 3 only has like 25 substories and several of them involve this random boomer. She is also the best character for the raid battle minigame that is not DLC. You get a golden statue of her and she has a version of Baka Mitai for some reason.
>>738470674She's a famous Japanese singer, Wada Akiko.
>Tori Kelly is in Girl is the lead singer of the theme song, yet she got mentioned the least
>>738470758It was a bit much to focus so much on her. Kiryu fanboys about her every time he sees her.
>>738470674https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akiko_WadaAko san is big over there.
>>738470402Celebs in Yakuza games have never been even proper side characters, just optional side content, Kson was the first one to have a bit more screen time, Ado will probably be just another singer in the producer mechanicSnoop and his son are proper characters in the story
>>738470851She's got a nice voice, makes me think maybe I should listen to music newer than the 80s once in a while.
>>738450859I'll buy for she
>>738470851i've never heard of her
>>738470851Who is she? Like burger Ado?
>>738468708>not liking Japanese hagsNgmi.
>>738445886>Have they patched the shit bitsWhy would they? The "shit bits" are most of the changes. The story changes directly make it impossible for 4 to have happened after it, some of the story changes like forcing Bad Boy Dragon into the main story make the pacing significantly worse than just having Morning Glory interruptions because you have to do huge chunks of the minigame to even progress, and random changes like Tamiya arriving near the start of the game to apologize to Kiryu now makes the reveal that he wasn't working against him pointless. The combat also won't be addressed so everything has crazy super armor, and the PS4 version is still the only one with the correct lighting so if you're not on PC enjoy the bloom.>>738447652K1 is worse than the original due to Majima Everywhere ruining the exploration, a worse Amon fight, and the addition of the 0 styles to take away from DoD. Its only positives are the added minigames, no missable substories or wrong substory choices, and the added Nishiki scenes that make him a character instead of a literal who.K2 is worse than the original for a myriad of reasons be it cut content like Shinseicho, Club Adam, or The Marietta, lack of attention to detail they had in the original, Takashima's age up ruins his character motivation, the new OST is just worse than the original gameK3 is significantly worse than the original for every reason I stated above and because it cut a huge amount of content for little to no reason. Mikio has no character building at all, there's no Riki Mask, there's no Mame backstory, a few of the kids have different stories to what 3 showed, Morning Glory is a slog of a minigame even if they did shed light on more of the kids and their backstories, Bad Boy Dragon is mostly forgettable yet shoved at you (Dokuzawa best girl) and fairly grindy, etc. 3G is all it's good for.Ishin Kiwami is objectively a downgrade in every way to the original. Visuals, gameplay, content. It's all worse.
>>738472821K2 is worse than y2, but ultimately k2 is an ok game.
>>738460670That’s what makes her so breedable.
>>738472821>The combat also won't be addressed so everything has crazy super armor, and the PS4 version is still the only one with the correct lighting so if you're not on PC enjoy the bloom.I just started playing on PC and I've downloaded the first mod I could find that removes all the blue.
>Judgment 3 neverOwari da
>lad7>supposed to be a soft reboot >it's about tojo>sth>supposed to not be lad>it's about tojoAre we ever going to see an actual new IP, or storyline?
>>738472915Yeah, I won't deny that. In a vacuum K2 is fine, I have no real problem with it. It's just that when you compare it to 2 it's not great.K1 in a vacuum would still be frustrating due to Majima Everywhere being obnoxious and gatekeeping you from basic functions of DoD.K3 in a vacuum is mostly underwhelming or annoying due to how pacing-killing BBD is, how grindy Morning Glory is, and how enemies constantly super armor so you can't really do anything in combat outside of play around that. Again, 3G is great even if the Kanda Damage Control GDQs give extremely conflicting character to Mine since he's clearly not pretending to be a good guy and constantly acts tsundere, it's just K3 itself that's bad.IK in a vacuum is terrible due to the Seal system, how the card system breaks combat entirely, and how significantly unbalanced the combat is. Like, the original was unbalanced because of Pistol, but in IK Wild Dancer is so obscenely broken because they removed the Dharma Tumbler from it so now you just have infinite iframes and your swords can proc elemental effects in 35% of the hits without Elements so you just infinitely stunlock everything and infinitely dodge the rest. You can also do that from the start of the game, you don't even need to wait until you get anything special.>>738473150It's not the filter. PC should still look the same as PS5, Xbox, and S2 unless they patched it recently which I haven't heard anyone say they did.
>>738473260You'll need to wait for Gang of Dragon oh wait lmao get fuck Nagoshi
>>738473150>>738473316Whoops, I didn't realize I said "if you're not on PC enjoy the bloom". I meant "If you're not on PS4 enjoy the bloom". PC can remove the filter the game has but not fix the shading that is only present on PS4. PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, and PC all look worse than the PS4 version unless someone can provide proof they patched the other versions because I haven't seen it.
>>738473378That game looked like LAD but with a worse color palette... and machine guns.
>>738470674i hope the 1965 section has similar vibes to the film she was in
>>738460347Cute. I hope we get to see her feet.
>Protag is the son of WMAFElliot Rodger's spirit lives on
>>738461724You likely have to repair them, that's what the gameplay trailer seemed to imply. There probably won't be a lucrative way to make money until later in the band management either since you seem to hire people for roughly 1-2 yen (So 5-10 yen per session), have to then do the marketing which might cost you a couple yen, and then who knows how much you earn early on since you'll probably end up reinvesting that into the band.
>>738473316>PicrelCan't stop to puke>comparing k2 to y2>k3Shit game and grotesque demake >mine Ruined for meTorture, really y2 is the better game, by far.
>>738473612They should have made him AMWF so that he could have kept a Japanese last name. But I guess they realized that it’s too unbelievable. Especially during that time period.
>>738473380I'm still in Kamurocho but it looks like this.
>blacksHard pass.
>>738451170I dont really see him being maincharacter character type that shows up in all time periodsmaybe JUST the first one, then barely showing up in the next, then fucking off because of WW2 being replaced in by his son afterwards
i hope sth is good but rgg's game design hasn't appealed to me in forever. Way too much filler, obviously even old yakuza games had filler but recent ones are just insane (especially IW). That and yokoyama admitting they make the games piss easy on purpose just ruins my interest. And even though sth is going to be mostly separate from the plot of the yakuza games I dunno if they're willing to change on these design tenants
>>738450859
>>738473781Try to get a picture like in mine at Ryukyu when you get there. Obviously on PS4 you have a filter so it's blue on mine in Kamurocho, but here's what it looks like in cutscenes (Where there is no filter) which looks mostly similar to what you have right now.
>>738473970sadly they need to appeal to the JAPHAG who is addicted to SOAPdrama bullshit who cant play games for shit
>>7384739707 and 8 are bound to have filler because they're JRPGs. They by definition need to have expansive content so people feel like they got their money's worth. That's also why they're like double to even triple the 100% times than any other game.
I was bobbing along to the song :)
you know what, i might actually be done with this IP.eh Maybe I'll see what the reviews and /v/ opinions are, but I'm not preordering it.
What will be the most kino era though
>>738456158The sopranos did the exact opposite and made the mob look like fat retards and people still think they're alpha males in that show.
>>7384744297 sure didn't feel like it was long or had expansive content, but now that I think of it it's just that the side content in 7 was terrible.
>>738456158because if you make something look tough and manly in fiction it doesn't matter what it is, people will end up liking it. it's like 'anti' war movies. minbo is possibly the only anti-yakuza film ever made for that reason.
>please stop forcing shitty pointless western celebs into your game for no reason>hey check it out it's snoop diggity dogg my nizzles!gee I wonder why this franchise is no longer for me
>>738472821Yak0 styles are probably thematically inappropriate, but they at least make for fun gameplay
>>738474560https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/stranger-than-heaven-guide/Going from this 1929 and 1951.1915 will be just being Snoop Dogg's lapdog and being bullied for being a mutt.1943 will be too much "muh music"1965 will be trying too hard to be "LOOK GOY KAMUROCHO"
>>738462031Only if it's kinda hot MadTV-era Debra Wilson
>song probably won't be out for monthssad
>>738474000It's like this
>>738475581Opposite end of the bridge, but that does look like they haven't changed anything. Do a screenshot like I have facing the building so you see the yellow sign. If it has the black shadows around it it's PS4 shadows, if it doesn't it's non-PS4.
>>738474560I have a feeling the first and last eras will be very short and most of the game will take place in Shibuya
>>738444675I thought he was White but he's actually wasian. Have these chinks ever seen a hapa? None of them have blue eyes and they're ugly with round faces, only foids can compensate with makeup
>>738475651Here?
Forgot to mention, for anyone who got screwed over by the European steelbook collection of 0 DC, PS5 K1, and PS5 K2 the PS5 0 DC and PS5 K1+K2 physicals are $30 each now on Amazon. Obviously this will appeal to virtually no one but if you want the physical copies they're there now instead of the ridiculous full price.>>738475164I kinda disagree. Brawler is fine even if it feels like discount DoD but Rush has webm related as a constant issue and Beast was heavily nerfed so now you get knocked down constantly and need to play into specific ways of using it just to make it worth it. I personally only used Beast when I wanted to swing a street item because I was so sick of being knocked down.>>738475880Do a 180. Look at how I have it >>738473316. The top screenshot of each side. See the giant yellow rectangular sign on the top-left? I think removing the filter actually made it look worse in Ryukyu based on those two screenshots.
>>738476009
I FOUND A PLAAAAAACEWHERE I'M NOT ALOOOOOONE
>>738476118The sign looks the same as the PS4 so maybe they patched it, but I think the filter removal is really harming how Ryukyu looks. Can you flick it off in SMM quickly and take the same screenshot? I personally think if there's a variant where it removes the filter from Kamurocho but keeps it in Ryukyu that's how you should play because that looks extremely dreary and dreadful.
>>738456158Because it's just feudal relationships with a modern coat of paint and those relationships always make for some interesting drama.
>>738476409
>>738444675Oh it's Snoop Dogiii
>>738468750I have never given a single shit about GTA.
>>738475361It was okay, but tori kellys nasal voice puts me off
>>738476570Thanks for the proof now because no one would bother. So it looks like we can assume all the versions are in parity now after the patches, it wasn't like this earlier on that I know of.
>>738476806Glad I could help
