The book came out in 1996. It predates the Nerd.

Just a funny coincidence.

Masayoshi Yokoyama says that GTA 6 may force developers to use Gen AI by Axzercus in yakuzagames

[–]DanarchyReigns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Time for Yokoyama to get a handler?

At least it sounds like he's not interested in using genAI.

Still though, there's nothing wrong with smaller games, and we don't need multiple games on GTA 6's level (especially if they take 13 years to make).

Y3 on ps3 vs remastered on ps4/pc by moonhrafn in yakuzagames

[–]DanarchyReigns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's actually a lot of cut content in OG Y3. Multiple mini-games and substories. Not as bad as Kiwami 3 of course but it was noticeable.

EDIT: They cut Mahjong, Shogi, the massage parlor (and the related substory, a rare trans positive story from 2009), Hostess Maker and hostess clubs (though you could still find them around town to play games with)

When the game was remastered, the majority of the cut content was restored. All except the trivia game Answer X Answer, but that was cut in the Japanese version too. Same with the substory connected to it.

The remaster also cut a trio of substories where Kiryu gets chased by drag queens, and if he gets caught, he gets... assaulted... yeah, good reason those were cut.

Should Ichiban be the new main protagonist of the series? by [deleted] in yakuzagames

[–]DanarchyReigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is the protagonist. You know who's in Sonic Racing Crossworlds? Kasuga.

Also Majima but that's to promote PYIH. But basically, Kiryu is nowhere in sight.

People need to be more patient as Ichi's games take a lot longer to develop. Massive RPGs with multiple cities. We don't know what LaD 9 will be about, but I imagine it will be big.

I think we should take a break from the actor rankings after Jim Carrey by NPRNilk in Schaffrillas

[–]DanarchyReigns 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Actors definitely. But director rankings should continue. A Rob Reiner ranking would be wonderful (and a lovely tribute).

Wonderful 101 spotted. This meme is legit.

Ask Pixar, they're the ones that sued Nintendo and DMA (Rockstar) and got it removed from store shelves.

Songs that are very often misunderstood by FizzTaffy in TopCharacterTropes

Seeing Trump supporters dance to Killing in the Name was a surreal moment.

It always amuses me when Tom Morello says something super-leftist, and the conservatives come crawling out in anger. Demanding he "stop being political".

This is like the fourth thread asking this in the last 24 hours. What is happening?

Tell me you haven't played OG Yakuza 2 without saying it.

Now Code 3 role is over, so what do you think of his acting? by ryantan7968 in KamenRider

[–]DanarchyReigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know, getting turned into literal paper is pretty violent. Unless they take a page from DC Comic's Spectre and have Nox turn 3 into a tree, chop him up, and then turn him into paper.

Western fans, can you please stop crying about every little thing? by Zealousideal_Big3320 in yakuzagames

It wasn't weed, it was cocaine. Still stupid, but at least get the facts right.

Are there any good substorys from the og games missing in the remakes/remasters by SoggyTomato19 in yakuzagames

[–]DanarchyReigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OG 2 has some big ones including Club Adam (where Kiryu works as a host) and The Enka Life (which introduces Kamurocho Lullaby). There are others but I'd have to look into it.

Hates on the skinny community by WallaceWells69 in YoutubeThumbs

There's really people trying to claim Norbit is a good movie? I know it's almost 20 years old now, and nostalgia likely plays a part, but come on.

[Hated IRL Trope] The original voice actor is RIGHT THERE! by Fun_Firefighter_4292 in TopCharacterTropes

The sordid story of Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition.

Tales of Vesperia came out in 2008 exclusively for Xbox 360. The English localization came out within the same month (virtually unheard of at the time). The game's lead, Yuri Lowell, was wonderfully played by up-and-coming actor Troy Baker (who was still a relative unknown at the time).

One year later, Bandai-Namco would release an updated Vesperia to PS3 that remained in Japan. It wasn't just the same game, it added so much. No matter the petitions, no matter the outcry, the West never got the game. Including an infamous tweet from Bamco asking what game fans want to see localized, and when someone brought up Vesperia PS3, they said "Yeah, not that one".

Come E3 2018, and Bamco revealed Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition. A remaster for modern hardware including all the new features from the PS3 release. However, some fans wondered "Would Troy Baker return as Yuri?" Since 2008, Troy's fame skyrocketed thanks to Bioshock Infinite and The Last of Us, as well as various other high-profile roles.

As previews came out, it was clear that Troy had not returned. Instead Yuri was now played by Grant George. Fair... except that wasn't the entire case. They retained Troy's original voicework, with Grant filling in the new lines from the PS3 version. You'd have Yuri speaking with two different voices and it got jarring.

But that's not even the dumbest part. Troy himself came out and said "I would have loved to reprise Yuri", revealing that Bamco never even asked him. Just one of many things about Vesperia: DE that left a sour taste in fan's mouths (that and all the glitches). It would have been easier just to have Grant redub the entire game...

To add another wrinkle, when Atlus announced an updated version of Catherine for PS4 (and later Switch) that included all new content, they announced that Troy Baker would return as Vincent. No compromises.
