Yakuza / Like A Dragon |OT| That's Rad!

Man, part 2 of Yakuza 4 is a real slog. And that part in chapter 2 of part 2 is extremely uncomfortable. Could use a lot less of that :unamused: Leave my 13 year old daughter alone, please

Hoping the next part is more my speed, this has at least been moving fast!

Yakuza 5 is starting to drag in the

Saejima section where you have to go hunting, I feel like tapping out

It’s the slowest part of the game. It’s worth pushing through it though.

Just realized Judgement is Series XS only? That sucks for xbox one owners. Cousin has a one X and I was gonna let him borrow the game until I was done with Nier.

They probably didn’t wanna go through the effort of porting the older version to Xbox One. The X/S and PS5 version has a lot of visual changes as well as some other things like arcade games.

I felt the same way, but after levelling up a bit, I actually grew to like it. Worth persevering with imo.

Honestly I was so disgusted when Kiryu said he knew later on, yet he didn’t do anything about it. Really a low point in the game.

It’s definitely a slog yeah, even later on in his part it gets worse towards the end in terms on navigation, I won’t say much but you’ll be forced to take a lot of detours. So if you wanna do his substories it’s better to do them earlier on. Or you can do them in the final part or premium adventure, it’ll get easier then.

I hated that part so much lol. I just did 3 missions and gave up afterwards. There’s one substory where you have to visit that place a couple of times though.

I know, I feel pretty bummed out I’m not able to play it on my One S. Wish they ported the PS4 version last year and we got the remaster as well.

Oh man, totally :face_vomiting:

And thank you for the advice. I’ve been knocking out substories as much as I can and I think I just have one left for that part (that involves fishing…)

No worries. I actually didn’t do that substory lol, I just couldn’t be bothered with fishing. I did all the others as well, even for the other characters.

Judgment is so great. I can’t believe how great the cast of characters is in this game. RGG is so overlooked when it comes to their characters, some of the best in the industry. My only gripe is i can’t go do some Karaoke lol!

All of the short clips from the potential Judgment sequel so far:

Plus another one that was just found today:

It’s for reasons like that that I treat Kiryu like an inspired joke from old Yakuza films. Then he’s just a guy that doesn’t talk, and has too much dadness. Nobody ever dies… they just have trouble finding a nice plate to give to Kriyu so they can resume their lives. I don’t get too invested in the story as well, it’s too melodramatic otherwise. :P. I like it silly. But yeah, once you start taking it serious there are some really scummy moments of course :P.

I mean:

They (Producers and other creepsters) have been hitting on Haruka since Kiwami 2 :frowning:

Looks like the Judgment sequel will at least partially take place in Yokohama from Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

I wonder if we’ll see the Geomijul, Yokohama Liumang, and the Seiryu Clan once again here since Yokohama will be a location in the game.

Nice! I’d love to see that town again (and those locations you mentioned, too)

In case anybody is following the Judgement 2 teases. It seems we are 99% going back to Yokohama (LAD setting).

Here we can see the restaurant row area in Yokohama and the area near the park up north.

I impulse buyed Judgment, but now I don’t even plan to play it because I am spoiler after a marathon (from Kiwami 2 to 5 in a row) and I haven’t even begun 6 yet, lmao.

And I believe thats Tanimura from the mainline Yakuza’s in the final clip

6 is like 20 hours.

Is it? I’m pretty sure he’s just a new character.
