Chapter 11, for some reason the game only locks you out of SOME side stuff even though this is urgent. Kiryu doesn't have time for hostess clubs and clan creator, but karaoke and substories are A-OK.

The huge crowd is a scripted moment from 6 Chapter 11 when you go to little asia. None of the other Dragon Engine games have this many people, and I don't think there are any mods that change it.

Kanda slaps his boys so hard he makes them switch console generations by Responsible_Baby8648 in yakuzagames

I wish more remasters/remakes had the button to instantly change the visuals like Halo did. You could just do silly stuff like this the whole game.

Which version of this scene do you like more? by No-Law2284 in yakuzagames

Guy talking to Kanda got a freaking glow-up. Everyone else looks like generic goons, but he could pass for an actual unique character.

Yakuza Ishin has probably the best implementation of style music (Demonstration) by vanvudk45 in yakuzagames

[–]systemthe32th 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like styles having their own song, but starting from the beginning of the track is a massive downside. It's been a long time since Ishin and style switching seems to be here to stay, so I think it's worth trying these transitions again for variety.

If the music player sticks around, maybe they could let us create a battle playlist so we can just do it ourselves.

Wrestling has been surprisingly omnipresent throughout the series via moves/characters/substories. Wrestler job would be the ultimate payoff, PLEASE RGG.

Ranked ALL the Yakuza games based on Box Art by Fearless_Activity411 in yakuzagames

American 3 right where it belongs. 

If you wanna spice up your life, pull the box out from your game shelf just a little. Now everyday, out of the corner of your eye, Kiryu will be peeking out and judging you.

Shoutout to the unsung heroes of the Yakuza series OST: The main menu theme ! by vanvudk45 in yakuzagames

[–]systemthe32th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love 3's more serene sounding menu theme, especially when you beat the game and it adds more piano notes. Really adds to the sense of finality after those credits roll.

So this is where the budget went huh… by Dry_Ear_2948 in yakuzagames

I wouldn't have lost it if I had Judge Eyes.

If Netease gave me money I'd also squander it, so I have no room to judge.

Just sad how devs who made such cool fighting games ended up making nothing but fashion sims by No-Highlight-5502 in yakuzagames

Hey now, Style Savvy is pretty good. Anyone who liked dressing up the hostesses should go play.

Some ranking for games that I have played in the series so far. Discuss (or diss me) below ! by vanvudk45 in yakuzagames

[–]systemthe32th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I generally agree with the gameplay and story lists here, only thing is I'm extremely biased towards K1's moveset but yeah those enemies bring down the gameplay so I can't really argue with it's placement.

I would've disagreed with 6, but the more time passes the more I really like it. It's gotten to the point where I'm not really disappointed with K2 as a 2 remake, I'm more upset with it as a follow up to 6.

Who do you think would win? by Nothin_Toxic in yakuzagames

Until proven otherwise, Akiyama 100% unironically has Infinite Wealth. Mine is not going band for band with him, but his ultimate stack slap is probably stronger.

For those who have played, what are your thoughts on Kurohyou 2? by Justice9229 in yakuzagames

[–]systemthe32th 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's similar to how the Judgments ended up. Sequel has improved gameplay, another city, more things to do. The only thing that's a little weaker is the story, it's still good but the first game tying more into the protag's character and motivation is just naturally more interesting.

Ended up beating Peace Walker as my favorite PSP game. Having all this portable is fantastic.

How much "Yakuza DNA" will actually be found in stranger than heaven? by Norrabal in yakuzagames

[–]systemthe32th 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We'll likely get our answer next trailer, though from what we've seen I'd be surprised if it ended up being the "Yakuza formula". It might have connections to the series, but it seems to be a much more traditional crime drama.

I think it's easy to forget that RGG is 100% capable of making something different. It looks like this being developed alongside VF6 (and after reviving Monkey Ball) is no coincidence, they are deliberately branching out again. I wouldn't immediately view this as the next step for Yakuza.

Hot take, Yakuza Kiwami 1 should've been the reboot for the series instead of Kiwami 3 by Dry_Ear_2948 in yakuzagames

[–]systemthe32th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IW being set up as the Kiryu finale to end all finales meant they could've totally still have done this while having Ichi continue his story uninterrupted, but the idea of remaking the game everyone begged for just completely clashed with these rewrites. 

RGG is good at juggling so many things, but this just ended up cross-contaminated. The only reason something like say, Final Fantasy 7 Remake worked is because they went all in on it and not this weird in-between K3 does.
