ChaosArgate posted:Judgment is probably the series' high point for me now, its incredible. Agreed, it's one of the best. Goddamn though, am I enjoying playing this remaster of 3. I forgot how good 3 was. Hell, all the Yakuza games are great, and it's so awesome that the entire series will now be accessible to PS4 owners, and eventually presumably PC as well.

I'm surprised more people aren't frustrated with the combat of Judgement. Getting stuck in animations constantly (getting up, after a blocked attack, finishing an attack animation, ect) makes it hard to avoid getting hit and quickstep cancel doesn't seem to do anything. It's very difficult to escape combos. R1 targeting or whatever it's called doesn't always seem to work (you can be holding R1, facing your opponent and still miss flux fusion). Don't get me wrong, I like the game a lot for the story, side content, and style, but considering the combat and trailing missions I'd rank it somewhere around the high middle.

Judgment is great but Crane style is pretty useless if you're not in EX Boost. Doesn't matter if you can strike 3 guys at once if one of those guys can block/randomly get hyper armor and make you stagger for a good 5 seconds

I think it's absolutely wild that people are calling Judgment the best game in the series considering how much of an unenjoyable creep Yagami is compared to Kazzy. Being real, I haven't finished it yet because I am so disinterested in Yagami.  Also, no karaoke.

I find it weird that Kiwami is supposed to be the first Yakuza. So much of it seems to rely on prior knowledge of Yakuza 0.

Kiwami adds a lot of scenes and some plot bits that directly tie into 0 that were not in the original.

They did a good job writing the new Kiwami stuff and 0 in a way that it's very effective regardless of which one you play first which I appreciate and they complement each other well with that.

Kazama comes across as an rear end in a top hat personally. I'm only at Chapter 12 in Kiwami but he seems to have been manipulating Nikishiyama to make way for Kiryu. He set him up to fail.

Kazama is not a good person. Y1's plot just exists to have people to fight.

There were many points where Nishiki could have exit ramped off the bullshit if only he didn't have such a hard-on for wanting to be Kiryu basically. Kazama laid a pretty good plan/trap where he could have succeeded, but he kept loving it up over and over.

Can you spell this out like I'm five because I can't imagine any outcome for Kazama's actions that don't lead to making Nishikiyama insanely bitter and Yakuza 1 playing out the way it does. mycot fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Aug 26, 2019 |

He had no right to be bitter, he was only free because of Kiryu, he basically owed him his life at that point, and he should have been setting up everything for when Kiryu was released. He then could have remained Kiryu's number 2 or started his own family, either way, things would have gone much better for him. Kazama knew what was up, he was basically punishing him, and he was supposed to take his punishment like a man. But he didn't.

I liked the combat but it can be frustrating. My biggest gripes are a) the bug where the Double Quickstep book doesn't show up when it should, which means waiting a few chapters and then having to buy it, and b) Yagami suddenly forgetting how to run or move with urgency, and how this always happens when a mortal attack is on the way.

Kazama's actions make a lot of sense if you think it was all just a very long con to punish Kiryu for wanting to join the yakuza despite his wishes. "Yeah remember that girl that you fell in love with? I did nothing to try to help her recover her memories of you because I didn't want her to be with you because your life sucks"

Yagami's weird rear end canned animations are a huge pain in the rear end on Legend. Like when you get out of the grapple where you have to mash X he does this four or five second long Ha Ha taunt and you can get hit during it. It sucks to get caught and then punished for breaking out of it so in the end I was just letting dudes throw me because I would take less damage if it happened in a group than if I had broken out. Also Yakuza 6 proves Kazama was right. Kiryu is no yakuza.

They master the fuckin’ delivery of so many things with a level of precision that is just awe inspiring in Judgement’s finale; I was blown the gently caress away how every beat hit so perfectly. My only complaint is there’s a clear and obvious setup to having the main character and the main villain ripping their shirts off, and instead there’s some non-sensical split second wardrobe changes that are a bit jarring considering the pace.

After the Yakuza games, I'm kind of surprised by how relatively restrained Judgement was in its storytelling. Relatively. I mean, skateboard escapes and refighting a boss after they inject adrenaline into their heart just to fight you harder is still loving crazy, but it's not quite "shooting down a helicopter during a freeway chase" crazy.

Akuma posted:6 absolutely spoiled me for everything being voiced, it was a bummer to go back to huge chunks of unvoiced dialogue in Kiwami 2. I disagree! 6's side stories felt compressed in scope and I suspect it was because of the voice requirement. I like the skipping between the visual novel and cutscene formats in Yakuza games and I think Judgment got the balance perfect.

The thing with Koga is that guns in this game are loving dangerous. In story they're used extremely coldly, and it's reflected fair enough in gameplay when handguns do insane knockback, mortal damage and damage. Guns are powerful, fitting for this more grounded game. And you then have to fight Bayonetta. https://twitter.com/morningmoonmeme/status/1164509275986771969 (yes i know i suck, if the poker AIs can't make me cry then neither will your comments.  )
