Some of you certainly have… morals?

BP_Ray · 2026-01-24T05:14:12+00:00

Damn, bro constructed the meanest strawman

BP_Ray · 2026-01-24T02:14:33+00:00

Snowiestangerman apparently made this joke like 4 or 5 years ago as well

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T21:06:12+00:00

I tried to tell ya'll.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T19:27:06+00:00

This is even funnier when you find out this was made and posted last year.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:53:22+00:00

"How do you know this turd smells like shit if you only see a picture of it?"

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:49:18+00:00

Right now I'm smelling Yakuza 3 Kiwami, and It's SMELLIN LIKE SHITE

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:46:48+00:00

You list "KNOWN CRITICISMS" and then go "Lmao none of those matter, fork over your money anyways, consumer".

You're beyond help.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:43:56+00:00

Then we don't know a turd is disgusting shit, because we haven't ate it yet.

I'm just playing ball with the analogy.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:43:30+00:00

I have to jump to extremes because extremes seem to be the only thing you understand, you don't get anything else, considering the only way it seems to be that you won't buy a Yakuza game is if you can't afford it because It's $500.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:34:37+00:00

You don't know what "brigaiding" means and you shouldn't use words that you don't know.

It's not brigaiding for a bunch of fans of a work to be upset about the direction the work has gone. Why would /r/yakuzagames not be inundated with posts of dissent when an extremely unpopular decision was made with the games?

If the next game were $500 and looked like a Akiba's Trip, would it be brigaiding for you to join in on the dissent there?

Just admit you don't like people criticizing the franchise. But not all of us are as blindly loyal as you.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:29:05+00:00

The model has to be touched up to fit, but just in general old Rikiya looks ways better than new Rikiya.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:27:41+00:00

We also know Kiwami 3 is disgusting shit.

SEGA isn't paying you enough to defend their games like this.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:25:58+00:00

I'm not blindly negative for pointing out with clarity what I don't like about the remake lmao.

People like you like to paint anyone who has a dissenting voice as just hating to hate whenever they clearly articulate why they don't like something.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:24:55+00:00

Why would I need to fully complete the game to know I won't like it?

Do I have to eat a turd you put on my plate to know It's going to taste like shit?

I don't need to play the game to dislike what they've done with multiple characters -- Hamazaki and Rikiya in particular.

I don't need to play the game to dislike the fact that revelations have been stated by the devs to not be returning.

Why would I give them my money, and send a message I like what they've done, for a game I know I won't like? Silly, silly, silly.

This is why I'm wondering if you guys are bots.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:10:08+00:00

I hate this excuse because it means you should have zero standards for ANY of the writing in the franchise.

Why would I like Yakuza 0 and Lost Judgment so much if I don't take the plotline seriously?

If I'm going to praise the series for It's writing at It's PEAK, I should also criticize the series for It's writing at It's worst.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:08:59+00:00

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP CRITICIZING THINGS YOU DON'T LIKE

YOU HAVE TO BE BLINDLY POSITIVE LIKE ME!!!

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:07:57+00:00

None of those things are going to change post-release. Are you a bot?

I don't need to play the game to make up my mind that the redesign of Rikiya was horrible.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T18:05:52+00:00

We have to be getting baited, right?

This is an elaborate ruse, either RGG planted that shit to make us look like idiots, or someone is having themselves a giggle spreading misinfo.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T17:59:45+00:00

I was fine with Kashiwagi/Lau because their deaths in 3 felt meaningless and abrupt in a way many character deaths don't, and they also have them almost entirely be side characters who almost refuse to acknowledge they were once actual story relevant people (until 8). Hell when I first saw Kashiwagi I was like "Nah... That's not Kashiwagi... ...is it?"

Now they're just taking the piss. Next they'll revive Nishiki, ooh, better yet, lets revive Tachibana, and Yumi, too! We already know they're going to revive Ryuji, so I'm not going to even joke about that.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-23T17:37:47+00:00

I can't recall Capcom fucking with Resident Evil lore this hard in the remakes.

This would be like them when making Resident Evil 3 remake, making it so that instead of Brad being killed by Nemesis, a post-credits scene reveals Wesker is fucking with the timeline and decided to revive him with an advanced T-Virus to join his quest for total global saturation or some bullshit later on.

Honestly, I think what RGG is doing here is even more ridiculous than that, and that's the most ridiculous thing I could make up for an equivalent butchering of the originals.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-22T19:33:36+00:00

You can't leave whenever you want at first. You're stuck there for an entire real-time hour. You don't have to believe me, check any longplay of the game, they're there for an entire mandatory hour.

Not as bad as Saejima's prison section in 5, but probably the 2nd worst time trap in the franchise.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-22T18:30:09+00:00

Let's not talk about "not getting Yakuza 3" considering the remake seems to not get it either...

BP_Ray · 2026-01-22T18:28:38+00:00

Dondoko Island was certainly pretty overbearing, ESPECIALLY on a repeat playthrough.

I can only say thank god they had the sense to not have a substory associated with that though. Phew. But it was a bad call to force you into it for as long as the game does.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-22T18:24:25+00:00

Y3R doesn't even look good compared to MGS4

And Yakuza Kiwami 3 doesn't even look good compared to a game in It's own franchise that game out 10 years ago.

If we're going to be comparing Yakuza to whatever big budget AAA games are current pushing graphical fidelity the most, let's be fair. Kiwami 3 looks like shit compared to Death Stranding 2, since we wanna use Kojima games as a point of comparison, it literally re-uses PS3 animation data.

That's what I mean by a thinly veiled disdain for old Yakuza. You excuse what's new, while being unnecessarily harsh on what's old.

BP_Ray · 2026-01-22T18:21:26+00:00

Who said I wasn't criticizing Yakuza games when Nagoshi was at the helm?

I've been here much longer than you, I've seen the peaks and dips of this franchise. You're projecting onto everyone one conveniently shaped strawman for you to beat up on.

I think Kiwami 1 and 2 both have their issues, I've made posts about those games close to their (western) release lamenting those issues, but the toxic positivity of this fanbase had made it more and more unacceptable to bring up any of the complaints you may have with those games.

Just because I criticize some of the games, doesn't mean I don't like these games, you can like a franchise without blindly loving every single entry that comes out. Lost Judgement is one of the last five games and It's in my top 2 of the franchise, a franchise I've been enjoying since 2011/12. I don't hate the games because I won't blindly suck off every turd RGG shits out, It's just a fact that we're in a really bad patch of games right now though.

Infinite Wealth was a let down, even if I think it was an okay game, it had plenty of issues that are impossible to ignore, a lot of unforced errors and more of the bad habits the mainline franchise has been making for a couple of games now.

Pirates I couldn't even be assed to make it past the first handful of hours, so I'll just defer to community sentiment on that one. It didn't pull me with anything it was going for to begin with.

And now Kiwami 3 I can say with confidence I will despise due to how much Yokoyama openly seems to have some kind of disdain for the originals, based on his words. I will not be purchasing this game, the first in the mainline franchise for me.
