Hey kid, I heard you like The Daidoji.
If Yu ends up founding them, I'm gonna drop the game.
this will have to do for nowhttps://youtu.be/CgtxtzvaAgY
>>738677692This guy is going to end up being Kiryu's dad or something, isn't he?
>>738678940It is nagoshi's prime directive to turn this franchise into capeshit, so you know it
Snoop Dogg's gonna get killed by Mako's own boss isn't he
>>738679329>nagoshi's
>>738678940I don't think even Yokoyama is that retarded, but who knows considering the stupid shit in K3.
>>738679329Nagoshi is too busy getting KWAB'd by china to care about LaD
>last era>finds the magical life forever shit>milks him for endless games that take place around the time yakuza games doHe'll see the explosion at the top of the Millennium Tower in Yakuza 1 and just as he's finished fighting the REAL secret bad guy that was actually behind Yakuza 1.
>>738680097it's annoying how plausible this is
>>738678296Unless he changes his name, or they retcon that, he can't be the founder. Minoru Daidoji founded it.
>>738680243it's cool, he's just another Man Who Erased His Name
>>738677692Infinite Wealth flopped for sure lmao

please explain to me the hype behind ado
>>738681570she yells and zoomers think louder = better or funnier
why is Tojo Clan being the very first line in the trailer so fucking funny
>>738681773I burst out laughing too
>>738681773>>738682129they had to know, rightlike that time the egypt asscreed opened with WE
>>738682257kek
over mil views is nuts for rgg
>>738682680over 900k for the PS channel now and 1.3 for SEGA's
>>738682680Remember when we weren't sure we'd ever get Yakuza 5?
>>738682680Damn the new trailer passed the views of the first reveal trailer in 4 days.
I'm actually not getting the game until Moose confirms there is 0 daidoji bullshit in the story 2-3 days after launch
>>738682798Before normies ruined it and gave Sega more money for worse localization.
>>738682798that wait for agonizing
>>738683208crack that whip, anon
>>738681091fuck yeah
>>738682680that is pretty good yeah
>>738682680>game pass title>xbox's upload hasn't even reached 300k yetWhy do they keep throwing money at sega?
>>738681463He's cold turkey fool
Why the FUCK won't they release the song?
>>738686361They wanna see who's the first to clean the trailer version completely, or just outright cover it.
>>738686304Retard, people can't ever be forgiven, we need to remember everything they did for the rest of history. Like that guy in Kiwami 3 who did a bad one time, we can't accept that he's repaid his debt to society, we can't forgive him, fuck that! I need to be angry about stuff on the internet.Snoop Dogg smoked a plant and that's outrageous.
>>738681463>>738686304It weirded me out how...sober(?) he was, and how clear his voice was while talking.Snoop Dogg and his son Cordell seemed actually interested in what they were saying, tho Cordell just sounds like a naturally monotonous person so it wasn't as noticeable as his dad.
ado sexo
>>738681283How is that a monkeys paw
Why does everyone hate the daidoji so much? They're barely even relevant to the plot of the games. They were literally nothing in IW and the sum of their activity in the Gaidens is recruiting a couple villains
>>738687648>Why does everyone hate the daidoji so much?Having the jap illuminati forced into every game just makes every story feel contrived around that one element. I wouldn't be surprised if they retcon the older games and make Nishiki and Goda puppets of the daidoji, they already did it with Mine, might as well.
I can't wait to see Kazama
I dont trust them at all. Also why is everyone losing their shit about the song? its mediocre
>>738677692Isn't the mc a vampire? I thought there was no supernatural stuff in Yakuza games?
>>738689557>Isn't the mc a vampire?NoHe's just half-white.
>>738689557No. He's just a Half-Nip with ridiculously blue eyes.
>>738681283That makes me more curious how exactly 1965 will play, Makoto would be like 70 years old by then, how would he still be able to fight at that age? inb4 fucking whale sperm from pirate yakuza
>>738689026You aren't cool because you dislike something.
>>738687229Based
To that guy who recommended Yakuza and the Family earlier in the day: It was okay. I think you oversold it a bit since it felt like the Yakuza becoming shadows of their former selves was a bit rushed, same deal with everything unraveling compared to what we just experienced. It was also funny to see the Spider Orphnoc and Alain be buddies. Plus Alain pretty much getting together with his daughter mirroring him and his wife over their connection to him.
>>738689026the song is great you contrariant. metalhead
>>738690001Isn't Majima pushing 70?>>738690387I had no idea who Ado was until this trailer and now I love her?
>>738690708He's 60 in 8G but we have Komaki farting around stronger than most people and dude has been looking like he's perpetually 80 years old ever since he was introduced.
>>738690554You watching movies? Go watch Battles Without Honor and Humanity.
>>738689026Agree, and the whole Kiwami 3 left a bad taste in my mouth about the entire series.Hey if its good I'll get it, if it's bullshit I'm okay with the life of the series, I have my fav games and my not so fav games and that'll be it
>>738690794The reason 3 is bad is because it was outsourced to pajeets to make a quick buck and fund STH
>>738690843>quick buck and fund STH>Worst selling and least played modern Yakuza game, even Ishin sold/was played moreGrim
>>738681091Ironmouse can go eat shit. Kson is the Yakuza queen and she reacted to the Xbox stream livehttps://www.youtube.com/live/n6ySU-p18mM
>>738690884If it sold anything, they made money.All the hard work was done 20 years ago, it's free money.
>>738690248Im not trying to be cool, just genuinely think its a really generic song>>738690648happy for you mister metalhead, I listen to whatever and it doesnt click at all>>738690794For me it started going downhill way before kiwami 3, they should have stopped with 6 at best. I havent played 7th yet so not sure about that one, but seen enough of other games from demos and stuff online
>>738677692Is Makoto Daito a WMAF offspring or an AMWF mutt? I much prefer WMAF, but maybe for his character it doesn't matter?
That's nice and all bug Judgement 3 when
>>738691101>just genuinely think its a really generic songName 3 other songs like it, I'd fucking love to hear your playlist friend.
>>738691107WMAF, his dad was an explorer who picked up a cute Jap wife and brought her home to America.The idea of a woman being the breadwinner in 19th century America is kind of absurd.
>>738691107WMAF you gooner His father is a traveling businessman who passed away in an accident or sth and his mother soon followed due to american racism aids
I think this game looks cool but I’m not playing 7 yakuza games to get the most out of it since we all know it will be filled with member berries
>>738690554That was me. I just think the movie is very good considering it's a modern Japanese movie about the Yakuza, those are usually very shit (like the Yakuza live action show) and focus only on the fighting, this movie has an actual story and character development This is another good modern movie that features Yakuza, however in this one they're from a more rural place and they're shown more like the pieces of shit they are instead of the romantic version from the Yakuza games
>>738690001Changing the gameplay to reflect it would be interesting. Alternatively they could just have Makoto be a 70yo badass, which is maybe acceptable by Yakuza standards. Could add little touches like having him catch his breath sometimes after street fights.
>>738691229>>738691303Thanks. For his story it probably doesn't matter but I prefer WMAF, even if AMWF would be ok. I do feel bad for those nips though, they never seem to make actual Japanese protagonists in single player games. If this guy turns out to be Kiryu's dad, Japan will have no iconic protagonist besides maybe Ryu Hayabusa or a mystery meat in a JRPG.
>>738691156I dont have a single playlist, thats too much work. But I swear Ive heard songs like this one at least 3 times :^) I just dont see the appeal
>>738691775i seeyou're one of those guys
>>738691564I think it will be the kind of game where you can still enjoy it even if you don't get all the references. The references likely won't even come in super hard until 1965.
>>738691775>I heard so many songs just like this but I can't name a single one
>>738691942I bet you meant it in the best way possible>>738692039I dont even remember names of songs I like so of course I cant name a single one
>>738691959They said in the showcase that they're not connecting it to Kiryu or other characters like that.The most you'll get out of prior knowledge is "Oh Kamurocho I've heard that name before."
>>738689026shit taste
>>738692147Don't trust anything Yokoyama says, he lies more blatantly than Todd Howard
kiwami 3 was awful0 "dc" was really stupidi miss my nigga nagoshi
>>738692147I feel like it's inevitable that Kazama or someone like that will get a cameo considering he will be 20 during the 1965 portion of the game.
>>738692147>>738692207Didn't he explicitly say "X will never happen" and then just do it?
>>738689026>>738691101>mediocre>genericbuzzwords people use when they don't have an actual criticismsyou just want to hate popular thing to feel like a special snowflake
>>738692262Dunno, can you provide an example?
Makoto Journey to the East
>>738692284didn't mean to pluralize criticism there
Not that guy but Ado already has a few songs that are somewhat similar to the STH themehttps://youtu.be/jg09lNupc1shttps://youtu.be/l0WArCNh6G0
Just say that song isn't for you, retard.
>>738692252>the man who erased his game…
>>738692350these sound nothing like itshe also barely contributes to the themeshut the fuck up
>>738692198seeing how everyones drooling over this song in youtube comments, Im starting to believe that Im the one with a good taste here>>738692284>everything is a buzzwordwell sucks to be me then, the song is nothing special in my honest opinion and thats all, dont see what to be so hyped about
Yakuza flopped in the West>Yakuza blew up as memes on the internet for western audiences.>The sales tell a different story and are tepid and worse entry after entry, Japan and Asia are indeed the majority of sales and that share seems to increase game after game (despite overall sales being lower overall)https://www.installbaseforum.com/forums/threads/bloomberg-netease-to-stop-funding-nagoshi-studio-as-it-cuts-back-on-gaming.4452/page-2#post-406650>sales in Japan and Asia seem to have made up a big part of this momentum, as Yokoyama notes, “The game is incredibly strong in Japan.

>trailer is well recieved>shitposters start flooding to the threadsMental illness
>>738692481come up with some actual criticisms then instead of broadstroke terms like mediocre and generic
>>738686598Snoop likes video games, and the Yakuza franchise is like a cool crime drama. I could see why he'd take it seriously.
>>738692481yes.. you're very enlightenedshut the fuck up already autist
Jack Black expressed his love for the franchise.Yakuza gonna get BLACK'd soon.
>>738692481>dont see what to be so hyped aboutif we can't convince you then it's a you thingthe song is just not for you, plain and simpleno need to shit this thread into multiple arguments

>>738692692>Like a dragon>yakuza>7th game is Yakuza: Like a dragon/Like a dragon: Yakuzathey're just following capcom's schtick
Why are you retards replying to the most obvious bait imaginable?
if the song doesn't hit you the moment tori starts singing then you're a soulless autist who can't into emotions and is probably why this guy thinks he's so special (another autistic trait)
>>738692802fuck off already you autistic cunt
>>738692898boredom
Will Makoto have an "I'm afraid" moment?
>>7386930411929 is set in HiroshimaAll his friends are atomizedHe probably has some trauma
>>738693041Probably. He looks pretty destitute at the start of 1965 so he could spend 14 something years in squalor.
>>738692946youre truly stranger than heaven
Crazy how everyone talks about Ado and Snoop when the song was actually composed, arranged and produced by Satoshi and Tori, though it makes sense since they're that much more famous
Yokoyama much know by now that nobody likes the daidoji bullshit right?
>>738693328All four are talented, but Satoshi and Tori are kind of boring because they're just talented.Snoop Dogg is talented and funny weed man.Ado is talented and elusive, how mysterious.The fact that all four collaborated is great but those two just stand out a bit more because of their gimmicks.
>>738692685No. 0 and 3 are your only real additions to his story with 0 adding that he was on top of a lot of things and a master planner while 3 added he has a CIA brother who he talked about Kiryu's Beautiful Eyes with. 7G had a substory revolving around another guy who had his parents killed by Kazama but he wanted to ruin his legacy and the lives of orphans because of it, but that just primarily revolved around Kiryu stating he disagrees with what he did but he was still his father.Dude was clearly made in 1 to be a means to an end and a tragic loss for Kiryu, I don't think they ever intended to expand on him as a character past being a Tojo Clan hitman with a guilty conscience.
>>738693482It's Yakuza, everything was a means to an end for the game it's introduced in.
>>738692350This one is also similar, just more upbeathttps://youtu.be/hyV1AJiFNyo
I think Yokoyama's lying and Kazama will be the protagonist in the Kamurocho section (as opposed to the 70 year old Makoto Daito). In 1965 he would be 20 which is how old Kiryu was in 0. That's the secret he's talking about which is why he can't show Kamurocho gameplay footage.
>looks exactly the same as before>apparently this is a PS5 exclusive and a major engine upgradeWhere's the upgrade? How is this even better looking than Judgment 1
>>738694112>apparently this is a PS5 exclusiveIt's not, but they very clearly use Playstation as their home platform for testing and development.>How is this even better looking than Judgment 1Are you joking? Go look at Judgment. You can already see the lighting is nothing close, the quality on clothing textures aren't even close with Kaito's jacket being the closest thing comparable, the cities are clearly more detailed, and by "Engine upgrade" they clearly mean you will be able to do things you couldn't do before like when we went to the DE for the first time and suddenly you could grab enemies on staircases, had gauntlets that didn't require a QTE interruption every five seconds to load new enemies or areas in, or could step over certain objects.
>>738694061Probably, Makoto is Kazama (who used a different name) mentor or sth
>>738677692So I'm guessing this was SEGA's "Mega game" they've been pitching all this time?
hoping they'll perform the main theme in TGA
>>738694262PS5 exclusive I mean, it's not on PS4 unlike every previous game>cities are clearly more detailedThey're just smaller lmao, that's why you can have more shit on screen.
>>738694318No that would be warhammer 40k
>>738694061I think you're onto something but I think Makoto will be playable in 1965, however in 10 years time when they release Stranger Than Heaven Kiwami there will be a 3 hour side story where you play as Kazama.
>>738694558>Whiter than Heaven: young and hopeful Kazuma>Blacker than Heaven: edgy assassin Kazuma>Grayer than Heaven: punished Kazuma
>>738677692Not playing your gay, pozzed mixed race MC with forced Magical Negro celebrity insert.
>>738692350I don't get the appeal.Sounds like screamo.
>>738695180zoomers are cooked if they think she's the best singer ever
>old good new bad you zoomers!And repeat this for every generation
>>738694061>Makoto betrays yakuza and gets rich by being a producer>gets murdered in the final section like the end of Mafia 1 from a character we know
>>738689026Sega partnered up with Mumbaisoft to have someone more competent run their overseas marketing, that and the weedlmao nigger is where almost the whole budget went. You're witnessing Excrement 33 levels of shilling now. It will stay that way until months after release.
>>738695838Snoop will sell out for basically nothing, he probably didn't cost a lot.
>>738695180She can be mellow too but she's at her best when she's being her usual unhinged self. Zoomers are cooked if they don't think she's the best singer since Sheena Ringohttps://youtu.be/I_Mr26s6Svwhttps://youtu.be/x1UsJ2Znjk0
>>738690765I hope Komaki appears in multiple time periods and looks as old in all of them.
>>738692320Just in the past few months:>hosts a series of funeral events for Mine>sells acrylic gravestones and other funeral memorabilia>revives Mine a month later>laughs at the event attendees and tells them they shouldn't believe the official statements too much>keeps selling the funeral merch anyway>after one of the earlier trailers of STH he's asked about the connection to Yakuza>completely denies that it will have any connection to Tojo or Yakuza characters>latest showcase opens with the founding of Tojo
>>738677692>previous scene to this was young Makoto first time in Japan with Yu and announcing this is his home and nothing is gonna change that>cut to older Makoto, poignantly looking towards the fireworks>next we see a small montage of times Makoto and Yu together and being bros.This game is gonna be pure suffering huh, gonna be balling my eyes out for Makoto and Yu
>>738696203>lol so unhinged xD
is there anything going for the trailer other than the song and muh feels?
>>738697149Other than a story that completely undermines the backdrop of the whole series? There's new experimental combat system that they probably developed for the new Virtua Fighter.
>>738697410>inb4 Makoto was Akira the whole time
>>738690387Noooooo! My beautiful Ado. She showed her face and now she's letting games use her as a model and she'll be used in blacked waifu videos. She should have stayed hidden and pure for eternity.
>>738681209>We WUZ Yakuza n shiet nigga not buying
>>738682680It's an RGG game with an actual budget this time, that's why.
>>738697410Oh no it undermines the series with awful shit story and a million plot holes? How dare they?
>>738681463>hires someone who consumed more than the entire country's population together.The fact that this has such a high chance of being true makes it so much hilarious than it should be.
>>7386990542025 1.5 tons of weed was confiscated in japan alone. The high ball estimate for snoop dog's lifetime consumption is 1.3 tons.
>>738698423>with an actual budget>keep rehashing shit>spend budget on snoop dogg
>>738678650>no longer available due to Sega copyrightW-what was it?
>>738696835>Protagonist reached the top.>Lost his closest friends along the way.>"We finally did it Yu, Snuppu Doggu."KINO

Cleanest version of the track so far.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpZ-DvY4Hn4
>>738699556
Today u found out snoop dogg was a gangster and went to jail for murdering a guy and wasn't just a funny weed guy. What da hell it kinda works for me now
STR will be the breaking point to see if RGGS still can make good games or they just gave up.
>>738696835>>738699556>scene switched to anon watching Stranger than Heaven trailer
>>738699779>removed by Segawe're gonna fucking throw hands Segarelease the motherfucking track already
>>738699054The guy who played Sagawa was arrested for possession during his college years. He and his buddies were chain smoking.
>>738700010I feel like it's perfectly possible for the game to be a 9/10 or 6/10.
The graphics are soooo outdated
>>738700010I'm going to have some faith in them because I think this has been brewing for quite a while and both Kiwami and Pirate Yakuza were throw away games. Infinite Wealth had issues, but that was more because it was trying to balance being a Ichiban game and a Kiryu game while STH is just about Makoto.
>>738700212who fucking careshang graphicsfags
>>738700272this
This is the best thing about the game.
>>738680606>>738699524>gets betrayed by Yu>lost everything and lost the will to live>become hobo life by the end>probably die in a ditch somewhere, completely forgotten by the world
>Yu asks Makoto to meet him atop the Century Tower
>>738700440He will get his shit together and then die.
I FOUND A PLACETHAT I CAN CALL HOMETESTING MY FATETOOK ALL MY PAIN AND MADE A WEAPON
Wait, they are going to do a Nishiki parallel? Fucking hell, zero hype now.
>>738700440>next Yakuza 0 re-release comes out>Daito is one of the hobos in west park
>>738700570Maybe the twist will be that Yu is actually a good guy and then he suddenly dies in 1951 leading to Makoto losing control of the Tojo clan.
>>738700564>snoop's son replaces his role because snoop dies a long time before this part
>>738700548>>738700564Yeah the lyrics implies he will take all the pain and get a final glory ride before kicking the bucket Kino
>>738681209it is insane how /v/ always complains about obvious dei and western influence, and then eats this upsnoop is great but he doesn't belong in a japanese game
>>738700570Nah Nishiki is a wimp This new guy seems much more based, like what Nishiki pretend to be lmao
>>738700689SD is right wing.
>>738677692>STH ending>Makoto, who still looks 60 years old, visit his son Kiryu at the hospital>Gives him the Life-Prolonging McGuffin from Pirate Yakuza to cure him from cancer and make him young like MakotoScreencap this
>>738700440>>738700512>>738700548Yeah not surprised if by the end Yu and Makoto meet up again and they end up fighting and killing each other. then they end up hugging each other, remembering the good times and dying in each other arms[\spoiler]It's gonna be kino
>>738700689Sorry fagget but all the Japanese people I saw either like him or dont give a fuckWhite bois like you have no saying in this
>>738692436This, she has like 3 lines in the whole song
>>738700010If it follows the same pattern like the Mafia series then it should be good.Both franchises have oddly similar circumstances.>Mafia 3 was the worst game in the series, Kiwami 3 is the worst latest Yakuza game released in the series.>Mafia old country released next and it's about the origins of the first game, Stranger than Heaven is about the origins of the Yakuza.>Old Country was good>Stranger than Heaven is....We'll see
>>738700735There is also the fact that we will actually get to see Makoto and Yu's relationship grow and change over decades compared to Kiryu and Nishiki having a lot of their relationship just being stated in Yakuza 1. Zero did flesh it out, but there was never all that much there.
>>738700689Some black people get a pass, Snoop is one of those people. It's not fucking hard to understand.Make your blacks cool and no one will mind, no one minded Leroy from Tekken because he was cool no one will complain for the Snoop man because he's cool.
>>738700935They seem to be still good even at their oldest "young version" so they can still pull a 20 years later Yu is a bitter faggot like Nishiki at the end.
>>738701171They already parted in the 20s then back together for the showman business in 43So shit will go wrong at the end of that section for their relationship because Makoto seems to be all alone during 50s and 60s
>>738700935Another parallel is the Young master guy and IchibanWe’re never showed much about him or his relationship with Ichiba for us to actually care The voice actor carried it so fucking hard at the endingIt seems like they finally realized how to write such a character
Serious question, can we have sex with Ado?
>>738701365The livestream that had more footage actually showed Makoto and Yu in one scene together in the 50s part. But yeah after that something definitely went wrong.
>>738701365I don't have the image saved, but someone in one of threads posted a screen shot of Yu seemingly still working with Makoto by 1951. I think it's the end of 1951 that everything falls apart. I think Yu and Makoto go their own ways after 1915, but there seems to be a possible interlude between 1915 and 1929 where Makoto seemingly dyes his hair blonde and does something with Yu.
>>738701516One of the tags for STH on steam is dating sim
so snoop dogg is only in this because his son made him do it right? yakuza 0 was prolly his first game and now he's in an rgg production dragging his dad along, that's silly as fuck.
>>738701516Yes, but only with me!
>>738689026I'm definitely not playing this until sales. Got burned hard with IW.
>>738701643Nah Sega wants big names in the music scene since this’s a game with showman theme, so they contacted the meme rapper
ado sfmwe won
>>738691564Yakuza 0 has memberberries but that was most people's first game
>>738701516As much sex as Majima had with his Cabaret girls
I really like how grounded the game is looking so far. From the combat and overall vibe of the game and story. There's been zero goofy shit shown so far that the Yakuza series is usually known for but I guess that remains to be seen in the full game.
>>738701516Far as I can tell you like fully romance the middle one but she probably dies and contributes to your overall suffering.
>>738701593Japs say that IRL Atami was the place where smaller yakuza organizations convened and allied against the dominance of Yamaguchi-gumi.
>>738701795I imagine there will be silly shit tied to the major sub-stories to each each, but even then those might remain grounded since it looks like it could be gang warfare, debt collection, producer, clan management and then I cannot even guess for 1965.
>>738699961The gangbanger lifestyle isn't a stage gimmick for rappers in that era.
>>738680097what the fuck is this live forever shit I keep seeing people talk about? I didn't play pirate yakuza because it looked like a hot mess feel free to spoil me.
What do they say in the middle in the trailer at 2:19?Obsessing over women is death?
>>738701972it's not a gimmick for the rappers in this era, either lol. in fact it's actually probably worse now.
>>738701795Yeah, I also like that you’re actually doing criminal shits Kiryu only did it in ONE scene at the beginning of Y1
>>738702048Pretty sure it's "Obsessing over one woman's death. That is no way to live a life."
>>738699961>>738701972He didn't really murder the guy, never pulled the trigger, his bodyguard did. He was charged because he was the driver.
>>738702048>>738702113It's one man's death
>>738702048Obsessing over a man’s (woman) death or sth similarMy guess is that the woman we saw in 1915 was killed by gangs or sth which is why Makoto decided to join the yakuza to get revenge, while Yu went to a different path
>>738702098I genuinely don't know, that's why I only specified that time period. All I've seen on media right now are gay faggots like lil nas.
>>738702041It predates Pirate Yakuza, and I don't mean Komaki. Bryce was like 130 years old and using whale vomit like jews use baby blood transfusions.
>>738702048>>738702113Xbox trailer has accurate captions, its "one man's death"Which I assume is gonna be snoop dogg's
>>738678296I don't think it makes sense.Tojo is To from Daito + Jo from Shinjo. So it signifies their alliance when founding the clan. And for Makoto to adopt the name that represents both of their names together, calling himself Tojo Makoto, to me that shows that Yu is not gonna make it. He dies and Makoto takes his name.Either that or he also changes his name to Tojo Yu and kicks Makoto out which explains his bum look in 1965, but either way him just fucking off to make something else doesn't make sense.
>>738702286>the kanji matchesDamn it's true
>>738700440>body gets shipped back to the US>he has nowhere he belongs to, even in death
>>738702108Yeah the interview mentioned they really try to go out their way to make sure Makoto isn't portrayed as a good guy.
ado overdoses on opium that one of her lover gives her and one of the missions is to avenge her
>>738702231I honestly thought the bryce thing was done to be weird and mysterious, didn't know they had an explanation for it. And I just thought komaki was there always because old guy kino.
>>738700915Old country was not good what the FUCK are you on about?
>>738702286It’ll be some tragic shit like Yu ‘betrays’ Makoto but for his friend’s good then dies later in a twist (sth to do with enemies killing the head of the Tojo so he takes the hit to protect Makoto?) He’ll be the ‘anti-Nishiki’
this trailer combines all the best parts of the mafia, yakuza, and gta games... first time in a long time i'm hyped
>>738702364I hope they pull it off. Makoto isn't going to be a "good" guy, but I still see it being incredibly easy to sympathize with him.
>>738702242That will be too funny if Snoop Dogg will be that relevant for the story.
>>738702449Except actually he won't die and the Daidoji will recruit him
>>738702503it's pretty obvious he will
>>738702503He'll be buried in a golden sarcophagus at the Tojo HQ and have streets named after him in Tokyo.
>>738702503Snoop will probably be very important to the 1915 section of the story acting as a father figure/mentor to Makoto.
>>738702503It's obvious he's your mentor for the game, showing you the ropes in the 1915 section. And will basically be like a father figure that you never got. That little dap and hug from him in the trailer shows the bond they're gonna have.
>>738702503He’s the mentor figure and protector of Makoto when he first reached Japan, you literally worked for him before joining the Yakuza, so pretty major
>>738677692He is going to be THE FIRST Daidoji
>>738702518Lmao surely they have learned their lesson after K3 right???
>>738702490Kiryu isn't really a good guy in the first game either, or rather there's not much outside of yakuza conflicts in that game so we don't really see how he usually is. Maybe it's a careful consideration by the first criminal novelist they consulted with. But they leaned more and more into superhero stories so kiryu just turned into a shonen jump mc somewhere down the line.
>>738701914>>738702370You're crazy if you think the female celebrities will do anything remotely sexual or controversial
>>738702719>t. Never watch Euphoria
>>738702627It's Yashima Trading Company. Yashima is played by another face-scanned actor, Akio Otsuka. He might be the one who dies. Yakuza used to whack key figures in shipping industry.
>>738702698After Y2 I thinkFrom Y3 he’s a 100% honest citizen who just got tangled with Yakuza bullshits from time to time, lecturing them about moral!
>>738702719this lmfaoyou won't be able to touch them but you'll 100% be able to romance a manthe japs are speedrunning the degradation of videogames that took the west a good 10 years to do
>>738702610>That little dap and hug from him in the trailer shows the bond they're gonna have.Ah shit, they really gonna make me cry my eyes out with snoop's death
>>738700915old country was passable lmao, it is nothing compared to stranger than heaven and you can already tell that by the trailers
IT'S OUT>Fiscal Year Ended March 2026 Results Presentationhttps://www.segasammy.co.jp/cms/wp-content/uploads/pdf/en/ir/20260512_q4_presentation_en.pdf
will yu start ice skating
>>738702048one man's death
>both Snoop Dogg's and Cordell's characters have major story relevanceNgl i don't have as much of an issue with it as some people do,but i think it's hilarious how Snoop Dogg is instrumental to the foundation of the Tojo Clan, and his son is a constant loyal companion to the founder of the Tojo Clan in his rise into one of the most powerful men in Japan(and also the main producer of the 1950s japanese music industry apparently?)
I don't know if Stranger Than Heaven is a kino video game title or not.
>>738703227I wish that scene in the gif was a bit longer, it's kino as fuck.
>>738703254it's great title. memorabl, vaguely cool, relates to the themes of the game
I FOUND A PLACE
>>738703334>relates to the themes of the game
>>738702889I wonder if they plan to dissolve tojo between 2 and 3. Kiryu's berating the evil yakuza for their crimes made more sense that way.
>>738703471You found a place stranger than heaven
>>738703349Tranny behaviour
>>738703520Some nigger village in africa where they eat humans is stranger than heaven. Not nipland in the middle of westernizing the country.
>>738703471yes, did you pay attention to the presentation
>immigrant came to japan>first thing they do is join yakuzaWhat did yokoyama mean by this
>>738703254The protagonist is essentially Big Boss, he wants to build a "heaven" for yakuza like BB built a heaven for soldiersBig Boss named this place Outer Heaven, because it's outside of the system Makoto thinks his place is "stranger than heaven" because it's a heaven that is full of gangsters and whores, that is a very strange kind of "heaven"
>>738703118Losses losses and more losses buy sega stock now I’m sure their online casino shit will be big in a few years
>>738703765Well good that Makoto played Metal Gear so he could reference it.
>>738703146CAN YOU HEAR MY HEARTBEAT?
>yakuza -1 comes out>it's filled with celebrity cameos and even more attempts to appeal to normiesY0 was a mistake
>>738703551trannies never found a place tho
>>738703846Better appealing to normies than to the redditors with the quirky reddit humor that is in every Yakuza title.
>>738703730>main character is literally a mutt hapa>game is about immigrants "finding a home" in a new country>mostly english theme song where ado and the japanese guy hardly have any lines>random american brown/black people are integral to the story (in 1910s japan, wtf?)>unlikely to have any icky male gaze sex scenes or other icky japanese culture that would drive off the fabled modern western audienceThis entire game is literally dressed up DEI and American woke-ism
>>738690765>>738690708>>738696230or maybe the RGK universe just has a weird fitnessfight culture that even random nerds can be FUCKING JACKED
>>738703624No. Please enlighten me instead of being an obtuse faggot
>>738704120>quirky reddit humor It's called soul, though I doubt you'd ever know the difference.
>>738700915STranger then heaven is still quite a loooooong life for a protagonist
>>738704305Yeah is that why Y8 with 90% reddit humor flopped? This is what yakuza was supposed to be like Y1 and Y2 (may be Y0)
>>738704121>>game is about immigrants "finding a home" in a new countryYeah because he was being treated like shit by Americans so he tought he'd live a better life in his mom's home country.>>random american brown/black people are integral to the story (in 1910s japan, wtf?)I do agree with this, Snoop Dogg's character Orpheus is a weird choice for that era, tho i guess that's the point.>unlikely to have any icky male gaze sex scenes or other icky japanese culture that would drive off the fabled modern western audienceWe already have the "Come Here" scene proving you wrong, but without counting it, why would there be sex scenes in a Yakuza game? This franchise is actually very sexless outside of minigames.
>>738704305Soul is that scene when they scream on the water tower about japan being their new home. Not about Majima doing a little reddit dance while shitting and farting.
>>738703846Appeals to normalniggers were there from the very first game, like having product placements and real life stores and restaurants. S tier voice actors since the first game (Rie Kugimiya), face scans since Kenzan. But they were appealing to a domestic audience, so this stuff flies over everyone's heads.
I want a detective game in Atami, give me Judgment 3 in the past
>>738700346I watched the first battles without honor and humanity and he was raw as fuck in it. Ill finish the pentalogy by the time STH releases
>>738704389Everything after Y0 is redditEverything before was /v/
>>738704549Good idea70s 80s Japan has all sort of fucked up crimes
>>738704595>disliking yakuza 6Faggot
>>738704595Yakuza 1 EN dub is ebaumsworld
>>738704512Appealing to eastern markets is still better than the western marketing appealing to western sensibilities. Even more true now twenty years later.
>>738704784Y6 introduced the daidoji. It was the beginning of the end.
>>738704512Yakuza predates kugimiya rie's popularity in mid 00s, kuroda was even just a literal who, yuya's va ended up being allmight 10 years later but they didn't know that. They did cast celebs though.
>>738700564This is the best part of the trailer
>>738677692This is going to destroy GTA 6 so badly, rockstar better release it in another year.
>>738690387nice ai
>>738705148Lol noGTA is mega normies coreEvery kids and their moms will play it
>>738693457Tori and Satoshi carry the song 2bhSatoshi's HEYs hit so hard
>>738704990I think Watari was the biggest name they scored in the beginning. Terajima was the next big one.
>trailer views still climbingGod Dayumn
>>738705615It's everyone listening to that song over and over.
>>738703551karaoke behavior you depressed shut in
>>738699556my sides
It's one of the best trailers I have ever seen in my life but that doesn't mean much when we have shit like the MGSV trailers.
>>738705678more reaction videos popping up too
Hello anons. Casual gamer here. Never played the Yakuzas. I see a lot of you guys are preparing to shed manly tears. Are the Yakuza games known for sovlful writing? The last game I played with outstanding writing was Phantom Liberty. It would be amazing if Yakuza can hit that level but come at things not from a sort of cold, cynical intrigue, but rather with a ton of heart and passion.
so this is your average Abo fan huh?https://youtu.be/2WAy6CLO0Mc?si=YsekFCh2X8Y2r5-A
>>738699464probably a clean version of the songSega are going copyright crazy and are too fucking stupid to release the song or music video at least
>>738705930Nooo I swear I’m not like that at all!
>>738705878It's a series about a gigacuck who regularly goes to war over his girlfriend's daughter. Along the way he butts heads (literally) with all sorts of people who range from just minding their business to larger than life assholes.
>>738705743Fuck nooo dont remind me of that I thought we’re going to get a serious game with big boss doing war crimes but we got the usual Kojima bullshits…
>>738705878Yeah, I'd say the emotional moments hit hard in a sincere way, but the build up and the moment to moment writing can be crap. It's 50:50 with this title. They also tend to have really dumb plot twists and exposition chapters.
>>738705878Only Yakuza 0 and 7 have sovlfull writing The rest is cringe J-drama with yakuza paint
>>738706123looks fake as fuck
>>738706241>locker baby neighbours >soulful
>>738705878>Are the Yakuza games known for sovlful writing?They're J-dramas. Usually the story is solid but they throw in a bunch of twists that make it ridiculous. There are a lot of good moments in the series but if you are thinking about them as if they're some high standard for writing quality, no, this is not the series. It's like if you watched a normal Japanese drama show, contrivances and all.
>>738705243Dude, even people that have never touched a game in their lives are interested in this, even my dad is curious about it because he's into yakuza movies, he's always watching some black and white shite.
>>738706134>>738706213>>738706241>>738706338So it sounds like you guys like the games for being a sort of GTA skin with Japanese paint, and because the story beats that do hit can be incredible? I was fascinated by this trailer because the story seems ambitious. It seems we follow the protagonist for decades as he experiences many human struggles, e.g., tragedy, ambition, regret, love, vengeance.
>>738706415stop being a retarded homer. the gta trailers have over half a billion views between just the main channels on youtube. you're behaving like an emotionally charged 15 year old
>>738706438Have you played Deadly Premonition? It's similar in that it jumps between serious feels and all sorts of bizarre shit. Nagoshi always argued that desperation is a great thing because it pushes people to do extraordinary things and drives drama.
>>738706805I haven't. Looks cool. I've seen like half the first season of Twin Peaks though. David Lynch had a great eye for beautiful women.
>>738706438Nah the yakuza franchise is more linear and story focus compared to GTA. It has kino moments but also stupid twists This trailer does seem ambitious though, I agree, and they can pull it off (maybe)
>>738706438It's not like gta at all, the only similarity they have is they're both about criminals. It's like saying saints row is a mafia skin.
>>738706881>>738706901Got it, thanks. I really hope the game delivers. That's a win for everyone. I'll keep following the news and these threads!
see you guys in december/january
>>738706983the woman in the bottom left is so classically beautiful and feminine. we need more girls irl to be like that
>>738706983it's usually January
>>738706983>>738707074yeah the fact they didn't even put the year in is telling.But its likely to wait and see if GTA6 will actually be released in November or will it get another delay.
>>738707032She was in Shogun and she was great in that, although her screentime is disgustingly low.
>>738707171those bangs are demonic
>>738707032She’s cute in Shogunall the major dudes in Yakazu is like>first love ended tragically >went full ‘bromance’ and stayed single for the rest of his life Only Daigo wasnt like that. Unless, Mine…
>>738707319a life without creampies sounds really sad
>>738690001He sends these goons out like marvel assists
>>738707408>gameplay suddenly switched to X-comKino
>>738707171>>738707319literal insect
>>738707319Daigo was all bros before hoes already before Kiryu beat him into becoming the next chairman.
>>738707603That’s because he was full homo with Mine
>>738707818Fujo revisionism.
>>738707896Y3 ending said it all
>>738707996It didn't. Mine in K3 even outright says he could have any woman he wanted.
Discussion around this game is gonna be annoying.>Why do people like Ado/Snoop/Whatever?It's amazing, no matter how many years pass, 4chan submentals can't understand that people like things they don't like.
>>738707996It was mistranslated and later distorted by mentally ill women and homos who effectively killed all forms of male friendship and bonding.
>>738708092Yet he didnt have a single one throughout the game Exactly what a closet homo would say
>>738708153> mistranslatedSorry but RGG approved it, it is canon
>>738708224>Yet he didnt have a single one throughout the gameHe literally had his secretary who he thought cared about him and instead only cared about his stocks.
>>738708224That game took place over the course of 2 weeks tops and he was pretty busy trying to prevent Tojo from falling apart, dealing with glowniggers, triads and cleaning up the mess left behind by Kiryu and Nishiki a few years earlier.
>>738702449WTF? I expect Yu to be the main antagonist...
>>738708424It's Yakuza 5 2.0. You can expect anything, including another "I don't know why I'm the final boss" situation.
>>738708506Y5 has many kino ideas but the delivery is just dumb Okay… maybe dumb ideas too
>>738677692I dont like games with shitty names
1965 section won't have combat until the final boss where makoto forced his old bones to work for the last time and it's a scripted loss sequence
>>738708567>geriatric Daito fights Shinjo to death on some rooftop to bring out the real villain>120 years old Snoop Dogg shows up out of nowhere and starts firing his gun sideways
>>738708567Yakuza 5 has no business being a multi protagonist game if it's just going to center around haruka and kiryu. 4 was basically proto 7 before they scrapped the idea of retiring kiryu so the multi protagonists worked.
>>738708684>heavy breathing: What’s your name, kid?>Ka… Kazama, sir> You’re strong. All my life, I have been trying to build a place, a home for the unwanted. It seems that I have failed.>Dont worry, sir. I’ll build that home for you…>Heh, for my killer to fulfill my dream, fate is truly… stranger than heaven (tm)
the musical aspect to the gameplay is interesting
>>738690648>MetalheadCringeYoure like those retards in youtube comments who say>Im a metalhead and hate rap, but I love this song xD
>>738709697>Cringeyou're like one of those faggots from redditt. raver
>>738677692>smokingHoly cringe.
the sound when he slaps the card down sounds so satisfying
can you redditors fuck off?
>>738692567>I'm allowed to like something without explanation, but YOU the HEATHEN have to justify your heresyOver nigger rap and vtuber/Vocaloid shit of all things
>AdoNo one in the civilised world knows who this is
>>738710460nobody asked
>>738708858Back, then, I think one of the reasons for having multiple protagonists was just to shake up the combat a bit. Then they realized you can just give one character multiple combat styles.
>>738710592You and the rest of /v/ are gonna be seething in a few years when nigger culture infiltrates nip games the same way it did to western games.
>>738710592don't feed the troll
Stranger than Heaven mogged Gangs of Dragon so badly that Nagoshi had to close down this entire studio and cancel his game.
>>738711492>mogged so hard china shut him down
>this shot from the 1950s right after showing him all bright-eyed as a young man absolute kino
>>738709840Listening to tranime weebtrash does not make you a raver
Nagoshi clearly wasn't expecting such an ambitious game. Still, I wonder how they'll top this. Kiwami 4 sure as shit won't be a third as impressive. I mean it's not even like the original Y4 was an ambitious game.
>Yu calling Makato a loser
>>738711945It was in a sense. It was all Kiryu up to that point, while 4 introduced 3 new protagonists.
>>738687859>Having the jap illuminatiThey're not the Jap illuminati, they're the agents of one of Japan's political parties and they don't even have much influence atp because canonically their party is out of power. The biggest flex of their power we've seen is printing death certificates
>>738711945>Nagoshi clearly wasn't expecting such an ambitious game. Still, I wonder how they'll top thisNagoshi can't top it because Netease backed out and stopped all funding. Nagoshi had to close down his studio. He broke as fuck right now.
>>738712014Well that's what they were back in 7. Then they turned into group full of secret agents that collects dead yakuza like pokemon
>>738711983Eh, that's not much at its core, it's all still just Kamurocho.
the combat system looks cool
>>738712184It's a lot at its core. 4 felt more like fresh air than 3 did
>>738712014>of one of Japan's political partiesI don't recall it being just one party in any game they're in. 6 implies it was a majority of the people who were involved in the reconstruction of Japan after the nukes. Then they directly threaten Masato in 7 since he didn't pledge his fealty to them then gloated over Ogikubo's sick body.
I'VE FOUND A PLAAAAAAAAAACE
holy fuck even eddie murphey reacted to the trailerhttps://youtube.com/shorts/U2viyXs5iFw?si=pscKsOcOWeiLqh9Z
>>738712465WHEN I’M NOT ALONE
>>738712604WHERE*
Satoishi and Tori mog Ado
>738711893wow you're really desperate you (You)s
>put out a trailer with a sick song>NOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST ISOLATE THE SONG TO LISTEN TO IT FOR FREE COPYRIGHT STRIKE COPYRIGHT STRIKE>Officially release the song? Why would we do that?
>>738713175sega are so fucking retarded it hurts
>>738711828>bright-eyedeheheheheh
>>738711828>meanwhile the song lyrics >I found a place>that i can call home>then right after a montage of Him and Yu side by side
>>738712734What songs showcase Tori well?I had a quick look and she's one of those southern religious girls who sings songs about God and stuff?
>>738712734Well they're the ones that actually worked together to compose the song and mostly sang it together, while Ado and Snoop only added to it a bit.
>>738713506iirc she won american idol or some shit
>>738713587I'm not American, I don't watch that shit.I'm asking for her good songs so I can go listen.
>>738713642look it up yourselfnot here to spoonfeed you thirdy
>>738713726I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to the guy who said she was better than Ado
>https://youtu.be/mOCLGa3cKdA?list=RDmOCLGa3cKdAThis was initially supposed to be the theme song for the game lolNot that i hate it but yeah its nothing compared to the new one they have.
>>738713832Anon your music list…
>>738713832Holy veddit list
>>738702108>>738702364>>738702490They already showing Makoto actually killing people even in gameplay. So that's already a one up from Kiryu
>>738678940The game ends well before Kiryu is born
>>738714006>So that's already a one up from Kiryuhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUnGk21cTfc
>>738713907>>738713987What? That's not my music list, i don't think i've ever made one for Youtube.
>>738714113That's still a mostly self defense thing and he's never done it in cold blood.Meanwhile pretty sure Makoto has no qualms about hurting and killing people, even some innocents too.
This game completely destroy Nagoshi. How could this be happening?
>>738714425he destroyed himselfthe man to erased his own game
>>738683149The music is a big reason for that.Ado and Snoop obviously have drawn alot of people to it.
>>738702286Makoto is the one who changes his name. The Ichidaime of the Tojo Clan was Makoto Tojo.
>>738680606JUST
>tfw been listening to the song via the original trailer on repeat >it now feels weird to listen to a clean one without the background dialogueSO LONG AMERICA
>>738687648They got rid of the florist because he was too much of a writing crutch. Then they introduced the daidoji which are the exact same crutch, except ten times worse and without any personality whatsoever to make up for it. It really all comes down to 6's ending being absolute dogshit, Kiryu should have either died or gone back to the orphanage, the cowardly "he's pretending to be dead so we can bring him back if our sales dip" shit is just pathetic. The daidoji are integrally linked to that retarded ass pull of an ending and so they will always be worthless garbage.
I hope Yu isn't just another Nishiki.
If this turns out to be kino I will forgive, even apologize to Yokoyama
>>738715929It's genuinely fanstastic editing, the dialogue is placed against the score really well to where it syncs up and elevates itself frequently.I don't even know if the game will be any good or not but it's one of the best trailers I've ever seen.
>>738716119i have a feeling this will be on of these games where the trailer is better than the gamei can just smell the daidoji
>>738711945Kiwami 3 sequel will probably an entirely new thing. No Akiyama, No Tanimura, No Saejima, just another solo Kiryu adventure. The new timeline is an excuse to do pre cancer Kiryu games.
>mixed mystery meat mutt goes around stabbing the native population>he's supposed to be the hero because they're racist Not playing this woke garbage.
>>738716119>been eating yokoyama's retarded shit writing for years>has no device to play his potentially good one since my pc exploded last month and I couldn't afford a new one in this economy
>>738680606He actually looks whiter as he grows old
the only ones who cry about Double G being in the game are spics and seamonkeys
>>738716460It's just kinda funny because RGG removed one or two people from their games due to drug usage history and Snoop was a literal human trafficker at one point in his life.
>>738677692>>738701516ado owes me sex
>>738701516My friend she literally calls (you) 社長 in the trailer you are IN there already.
>>738716359What do you mean mystery meat? He’s a Hapa.
>Music plays a major role in Stranger Than Heaven's gameplay system; as Makoto navigates the environments surrounding him, he can pick up various sounds and "save" them as "recordings"; later, Makoto may encounter composers, allowing him to use the collected sounds to create original compositions. The game also incorporates management activities, in which Makoto must take on the role of a showman and organize different musical shows, including picking out musicians to participate and recruiting them on the street.>In the game, players control Makoto's left and right sides independently using buttons on the corresponding side. Makoto utilizes hand-to-hand combat as well as a variety of weapons which can be upgraded furtherSounds kino.
>>738700689I don't want any fucking celebs in my games.
>has denuvoI shan't financially support the company that uses this malware.
Will it have the same awful combat as the other games?
>>738718120I really like that>yeah I'm kind of a murderer and criminal>but BOY do I love music!
>>738716557The guy got arrested as the game released so they had no choice to pull it from the shelves and replace him
>>738716379Pretty based
>https://nagoshistudio.com/>yokoyama and stranger than heaven completely killed him
>>738678940I'm gonna drop the third nuke on Japan personally if that happens
>>738705761I'm seeing some late reaction videos from people who only make videos about anime, others about music, it's really getting out there. The views may not look like a massive AAA game, but it's definitely breaching containment from their usual crowd, this will be BIG for RGG Studio.
>>738718120They wanted to incorporate dual wielding at some point, like having two different or identical weapons in both hands, but had no idea how to balance it, so it ended up getting scrapped. In addition to having different tiers of weapons that you can upgrade (wooden sledgehammer, iron sledgehammer, black sledgehammer), all weapons come with their own unique skills and effects unique to them, like doing more damage against scared enemies, doing a special attack on strong enemies to temporarily boost your damage, and so on.
>>738713506Explains the church choir-like part during the car fight.>>738713551Well, since they're going as far as acting with their own characters in the main story, I think we can probably assume it won't be a single song with them in it, so maybe the ending theme will be more Ado/Snoop focused with Higedan and Tori Kelly as support.
>>738713832The interesting part is that they have full performance capture for it. I think it's more that each of the singer characters you can recruit have their own theme song, maybe?
>>738696835They’re 100% gonna have a falling out that leads to Yu starting the Omi Alliance
>>738718270It's SEGA, they don't have to pay to add Denuvo to their games because they supported Denuvo when it was starting, so they got a lifetime subscription with a one time payment. Even if crackers become so effective that Denuvo games get cracked day one, they still have no reason to switch to anything else, it's the cheapest option for them.
>>738720327>the church choir-like partI know Final Fantasy 14 had a pocket singer they used with an incredible voice but she was cut off eventually when fans of the game learned she held Christian values and expressed them publicly on social media. Sung the theme song and stuff and now she's ex-communicado.
>>738722172That sounds retarded even for people who cancel others as a sport. Unless the company has an explicit "no politics/religion" policy for anyone they hire or something.
>>738677692All my niggas hate the Daidoji
>>738722724I mean they didn't rip out her existing work or anything they just distanced themselves from her after she liked some tweets by Jordan Peterson.
>>738701516We'll at least be able to date her probably
>>738713832This song is atleast still in the game, it was playing during the Xbox presentation, but without the vocals
>>7387019141930s, 1910s or 1950s?
>>738716382His dad genes are kicking the fuck out of those Japanese bastards
>>738723085Ado's in the 1943 chapter for sure, she's the headliner at the grand cabaret in Osaka.
>>738723085>>738723152>Makoto gets a different wife every decadeWhat a fucking Chad
The game looks like certified slop. I miss when Yakuza wasnt this popular.
>>738723194>every woman that Makoto sticks his dick into ends up dwad or leaving him
Nagoshi seppuku stream incoming
>>738702719Brother this is the same franchise that stars Ai Uehara
>>738723194100% he’s going to sex the girl in 1915 but refuse all the others
>>738724029>Ado outright begging Makoto to fuck her>Makoto just stands there stone-facedKino.
>>738724517It’ll be that Yakuza boss’s daughter in Y5 trying to sleep with Kiryu all over again lmao > nooo boss why dont you fuck my barely legal pussy?! It’ll be dilf kino
>>738724826Why do people insist Kiryu is a virgin when he fucks in half the sidequests?
>>73872538995% of side stories are not canon. That includes hostess stuff
>>738725456The canon isn't canon either so who cares?
>>738725563Me because he should be just like me frfr
Would be funny if makoto is actually nishiki's dad instead
>>738722904Wholesome hand holding with 1940's Ado
>>738696203I think Moka from Phantom Siita sounds better than Ado when she covers her songs
I gave up on Yakuza. Will this game bring my hope back
>>738726618The trailer did for me.>t. will never touch Quirk Chungus in Hawaii or The Man Who Erased His Death
Pumping Ado's womb full of Hafu seed
>>738727273the man who erased his name has the best final boss in RGG history, shishido is the representation of all the worst elements of the yakuza made flesh and he is the final hurdle that must be overcome to bury them in the past, while at the same time being the biggest victim of that system and it's most hardcore supporter. His battle is beyond kino. one of the best in videogames honestly
>>738727858Loved the song toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y8sGXN9duM
>>738727858It's really hard to believe that it was made by current RGG.
>>738727997I love how it's just so filled with anger and hatred, by that point shishido was just a rabid dog lashing out at anything that got close to him, and you can't really blame him. He was watching the thing he had wasted his entire life on crumbling before his eyes. All the literal anal rape and suffering he endured was for nothing
>>738727858>>738727997>when fleeting dream playsGoddamn. I feel torn, on one hand I like the Gaiden cast, but I worry about what they'd do with them in future games.
Does Gaiden make any sense if I didn't play the turn games? Skipped because I assume it's deeply connected.
>>738727858I was refering to Mine. Yes, I agree Erasure Man (real) game is kino. I'd put it near the top of the list even.
>>738728882Sort of. Some scenes of 7s plot are told from kiryu's perspective and there is a really funny part where they speedrun through some parts of 7 so the ending makes sense
>>738706335Ichiban's stupid blind optimism and devotion to his father figure is soul, even if locker babies is the the most retarded shit ever. They somehow managed to turn a retarded premise into something that had me tearing up
>>738727858Kino boss and character. The sun setting in the background while the last supporter of the yakuza fights against the man he basically wishes he was (a yakuza legend who got all the way to the top).
>>738728882Probably. It happens simultaneously with the first Like a Dragon in the timeline so playing those two in either order should be fine. The most important part is knowing Kiryu's whole journey.
>>738729340I don't understand why people disregard the whole game over that. It's no worse than the Jingweon cabal, Kazama's lost American brother, rubber bullets, I don't know why I'm the final boss, or the damn boat. If you can't stomach dramatic contrivances you just don't like Yakuza.
>>738729340Locker babies were very common in the 80s and 90s, and it was all worth it for that final shot of masato and ichiban putting down the gun inside the locker. The two of them were tied by destiny since the day they were born>>738730193The boat was fine, it makes sense if you're familiar with post ww2 japanese history, they were supposed to be americas bitch and that boat represented that the spirit of imperial japan still remained as well as billions upon billions of dollars stolen and shuffled around by the government
>>738706338Some bits of character work are masterful. Very few main characters are as nuanced and compelling as kiryu
>>738678296kek
>>738699336lmao so true
>>738726165Moka is goated out of her mind, easily Phantom Siita's best singer (Rinka is a close second). She also sings Sheena Ringo's songs amazinglyhttps://youtu.be/sVHF09PKMcYhttps://youtu.be/YDr9yMvlbVA
>>738730193I will always defend Aizawa and the boat. Only rubber bullets are too much for me because rubber bullets at close range/to the head would still kill.
Ado is severely overrated.
>>738677692No, i like trains
>>738731304You didn't know who she was until last week
>>738731304truth
>>738686598probably because fhis is snoop's first vidya role where he's not just being a shallow collab decor and have an actual meaningful story participation
welp
>>738731296Aizawa makes sense with the themes of the game, and I like kurosawa being this scared old man looking for meaning at the end of his life and dumping all his yume on a son who doesn't give a fuck about him because he never took the time to actually love him, it just comes so quickly and suddenly with the >I don't know what the fuck im doing here lmaoThat most people brush everything aside and call it shit
>>738678691?
>>738711828>50s Bro looks like he's going to slay at the Disco in the 70s.
>>738731262I hope she becomes a big star in her own right some day
>>738731796Total chigyu victory
>>738731262It's possible she doesn't quite have the singing ability Ado does (yet) but she definitely has an "it" factor. Like to me, Ado sounds like she is trying too hard to sound quirky and unhinged but with Moka it sounds much more natural and effortlesshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlXUb3qotsg&list=RDXlXUb3qotsg
Cheese gyudon sounds pretty good, I've never had it but it sounds tasty.
>>738731796brutal
I liked Snoop in the first True Crime.I hope to see him die in this game though, the blue eyed mug too.
>>738733819Everyone is pretty much dead since its a prequel to Yakuza
>>738733819t. Yu
>>738731796How mad is he, even moreso now that Stranger than Heaven is blowing up now.
>>738733819I haven't seen the trailers yet but will he attempt to speak Japanese in the game or will they make the protagonist understand English?
>>738734120Protag grew up in America so his english is already good.
>>738734120The protagonsit is bilingual, the reason Snoop becomes (your) mentor in the crime world is because he needs someone to speak Japanese for him and translate.
IT'S UPhttps://youtu.be/8Z0aWza5Gdc?si=kKnbhyUUG9neHiY9
>>738734224>>738734237Figured as much, but it would have been funny to hear Snoop speak Japanese
>>738734237>the reason Snoop becomes (your) mentor in the crime world is because he needs someone to speak Japanese for him and translatepretty sure they said Snoop's character can speak Japanese
>>738734293When is Asmongold going to react to it?
>>738734120Connie Chihuahua fo shizzle my nizzle
>>738734375hopefully never
>>738734293>new game from the developers behind both the Like a Dragon AND the Yakuza series of gamesThe rebranding was clearly a stupid move.
>>738734375Moist critical already did
>>738734548really stupid
I started playing Kiwami 3 but I'm not digging it, should I just skip ahead to Yakuza 7 and/or Judgement?
>>738682680slowly climbing
>>738735062I played the original 3 and had plenty of fun with it, it' one of my favorite games in the series
>>738735624Stop farming view counts and release the song on Spotify already you fucks.
>>738734375He already did, he watched the presentation live
>>738736052link?
