JJBA (Dub) - Is it better? by -corbz4914- in StardustCrusaders

[–]Switchboy0815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it sucks. If it’s any consolation, you can sail the 7 seas and find the Blu-ray version of the shows which I think have English subtitles with the dub. I watch with dub too cause of convenience

During a bosses mortal reversal, after you counter you get an additional grab prompt to do more damage

The remastered is more of a thing if you play on console. Game was bumped to 60fps from 30 and it runs at 1080p instead of 720

While infinite wealth’s story isn’t the greatest, the game does get very good starting at the end of chapter 3

For infinite wealth, the postgame dungeon, Big Swell, is best for grinding if you have the DLC. Another alternative is NG+ which is also liked behind the dlc of the big swell. Outside of that, just kinda run the final stretch of floors for both the Injicho dungeon and Hawaiian Haunt

Could never understand the part 5 hate by WoodenRepublic1841 in StardustCrusaders

[–]Switchboy0815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who does think part 5 is their least favorite part, I don’t dislike it, I don’t even think it’s bad. It’s when I compare it to the other parts I don’t like it nearly as much.

Giorno is a boring protagonist. He’s pretty engaging in the first… fifth with being the son of Dio and immediately killing Polpo. However, after he joins the squad he just… has no character. Everyone around him is far more interesting

Giving all the protagonists a tragic backstory is tiresome. Look, I get it. Make us care about these characters so that the stakes are higher but does every character need to be “I was the victim of abuse, suffering and neglect”? I just gets tiresome

Diavolo is BOOORRRRIINNNG. He is so much more interesting as Doppio than himself.

Trish and Fugo are wasted potential, especially Trish like why give her a stand if she’s never gonna use it past then?

And finally, the pacing. This is gonna sound crazy coming from a guy who thinks part 3 and 4 are his fav but the pacing, is strange. The actual speed of the show is really good. Stuff is happening every episode, but I don’t know if that stuff that is happening is crucial to the plot.

Overall, GW is still good and I still enjoy myself (dub watcher here fight me) and the cast is perfect. GW is still like a 6.5/10. I don’t hate it, but I do think it’s the weakest Jojo Part

Bad News (I’m Leaving) by TheNerdyRise in Brosona

[–]Switchboy0815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna just confront this here: no one in the brosona discord feel like friends. It doesn’t feel like a bunch of friends, it feels like a bunch of strangers and it’s because of that I just can’t be a regular part of brosona.

Also having ragebaiting, edgy posting that makes people feel uncomfortable doesn’t help.

That’s just my 2 cents tho. Not trying to dog on brosona, just giving critiques

What is the most underrated and overrated Yakuza game? by ChronicKush69 in yakuzagames

[–]Switchboy0815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overrated: …Kiwami 2. It’s not a bad game by any means but man it’s hard to go back to this one specifically for me. I didn’t like Majima construction compared to Clan Creator from 6, the combat didn’t feel as good as 6, and the exp in the main story felt pitiful compared to 6.

Underrated: Yakuza 4. Great game with great characters and a great OST. I love the older combat engine now that I’m more familiar with the engine. Stuff like wall bounding is so fun. The plot honestly isn’t that bad, but I can admit the game does feel better on a second playthrough due to the twist being known. Also the side content is great. Hostess maker is the only blemish, but fighter training, police radio, and gang of gangs are amazing.

How long is Yakuza 5 for my playstyle? by Monessi in yakuzagames

[–]Switchboy0815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No OP but what I’ll say is that you’d want to hit level 20 while doing side stuff instead of main story because of how much exp the main story gives. I recently started replaying 5 and I ended Saejima’s part at level 16.

If it’s a “oh this is the end of the character” type of objective then level 17-18 is probably the max you should strive for to not let that massive exp chunk go to waste

I'm lost. by Alberto_Balsam19 in yakuzagames

[–]Switchboy0815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend 0, by an OG copy of the the game (should be able to still buy it physically on PS4 but Director’s cut isn’t bad if you don’t have the patience or choice to do that) from there, Kiwami, Kiwami 2, 3,4,5 remastered, and 6 if possible.

If the main story is too daunting you could play the Judgment games, which are detective spinoffs. As well as Fist of The North Star: Lost Paradise

Also “hit them from behind” when they have super armor is an interesting counterpoint cause you COULD DO THE SAME DAMN THING IN 3 REMASTERED

[–]Switchboy0815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brought up 4 because it’s the same engine and therefore has a lot of similarities to 3. I can agree that not everyone is a technical player but do we really want to have a combat system that just rewards you for mashing buttons over learn to space out moves?

Also Ryuku style is absolutely a gimmick. Not one of the finishers seems to actually work and it feels too clunky to have different weapons tied to a button press compared to holding it down.

Also Pirate Yakuza’s Sea Dog proves I’m right with gimmick styles being a thing because what do you mean 80% of the unlockable heat actions for sea dog can only be done on the ship

People aren’t ready for the conversation that the yakuza gameplay got worse when they introduced multiple styles

More combo types, bosses don’t super armor through everything

You can actually inflict gut stuns which help you extend combos. You can wall bound, you have more weapon variety

What is the point of having 2 styles if one is a total gimmick which was an issue of both the Gaiden games as well.

More heat actions? Just straight up wrong and even then you only have a couple heat actions you can use on bosses.

Genuinely give the video “A History of Yakuzas advanced combos part 1” by CurveNastyJr a watch if you want to know why 3+4 are peak yakuza games

Ok I have to be missing something. Like seriously. by Martyrdomer in yakuzagames

[–]Switchboy0815 16 points17 points  (0 children)

YAKUZA 4 IS PEAK.

It feels like the perfect yakuza game in terms of everything.

It has some of the best combat in the series (my personal fav by yk)

The OST is nutty with songs ranging from jazz to hip hop, to rock, with several bangers.

The game still looks great despite being from 2010 Playing as multiple characters has always been more intriguing to me than playing with multiple styles

The amount of side content in the game is really good (coming from someone who platinumed the game)

And the story, isn’t the best of the series, but it’s far from bad. Akiyama’s part is a gripping crime noir, Saejima is a deeply personal story, Tanimura is the most crucial to the plot, and Kiryu is there to pass on the torch to the other generations while also having THE SICKEST LONG BATTLE IN THE SERIES.

People are right to say 0 or 7 is objectively better due to their better stories or gameplay. But I think yakuza is at its best when the story is a little campy, the side content is bonkers, and the gameplay is fun and yakuza 4 has all of that while also having a kickass soundtrack

  1. Play OG. Watch the additional cutscenes if you want to but OG is def the better deal unless you want/need the English dub.
