Yeah...I only consider Compile Heart responsible for their OWN games being bad, and the solution to that is simple.

NISA can release whatever weird nonsense they want as long as they give me a Disgaea every 3-4 years I won't give a gently caress.

Samurai Sanders posted:The theme of 5 is "dreams". Haruka wants to be an idol, Kiryu wants a life away from crime, the new guy Shinada wants back into pro baseball, and so on. It's way different than the previous ones, and has no real connection to anything else, but I really liked it. Yeah, although they start beating you over the head with the theme at the end, it was really good. I loved the variety of the different cities too, even though some of them felt rushed (like Sapporo, oh man). The end did have a certain "oh poo poo, how do we wrap this up?" feel to it, though

I recognized bits of Susukino but the red Xes in the middle of the roadway that you couldn't cross seemed to say "whoops, ran out of time."

FYI, if you are in US and looking to import, Amazon has really good pricing on Ishin and Y5. I snagged Ishin for $49 and Yakuza 5 for $33 with Prime Shipping. You could get similar pricing elsewhere but will have to wait a few weeks for shipping vs it being there in 2 days. Sega is giving me some major incentive to pick up my Kanji learning up again. RTK or Kanji Learning Course, what shall I go for this time?!

Samurai Sanders posted:If you can only get one, get Y5, not Ishin. You can't run through Y5 with a canon! Anyways, I agree, but already got both and having another game on PS4 is a plus.

It's honestly the best kanji learning tool I've used. Though I do actually have a class I go to after work once a week. I messed up and got Ishin at a local book-off, it was used, only $30 if I remember correctly. I'm gonna go back and see if they have Y5 now.

Maybe because I had just woken up but I seriously thought it was something about Y5 not being canon. Really, only time will tell if they continue all of that stuff.

But guys! XSEED just ruined any chance of Sega considering a Yakuza localization in the future! Same way Nickelback made Fallout 2 not use a Louis Armstrong song because America music sucks! Or something! As a concerned fan, I must say this is much concerning! e: also, what is the deal with Sony killing the Vita because of this game? They haven't shown anything on Gamescom or E3! I'm concerned Zoe Quinn and XSEED killed the Vita! Saoshyant fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Aug 22, 2014 |

Ok, enough of that nonsense. The new Yakuza game will be revealed in two days from now: August 24, 21:00 Japan time on this Niconico stream. And because Yakuza is a game with no pandering to lonely nerds, the studio published a "Sexy Actress Popularity Contest" full of rear end shots and whatnot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL2RqtgRl6g Mildly

Samurai Sanders posted:I am still not following you at all. lovely game is lovely = Yakuza something something? Oh Yakuza is the reason behind it all. The great Japanese game they refuse to localize because creepy poo poo that Nisa and Xseed publishes makes publishers with more money than Nisa and Xseed nervous to localize their games. So while games that improves Japan's rep overseas doesny make it here. The games that creep out and disgust reviewers do.

Welp, it looks like Nagoshi's not going to push things any further after 5 so we're going to take a trip back in time. Yakuza Zero is the next game in the series. PS3 and PS4, will probably be all about Kiryu, Nishiki, and Yumi's excellent adventures.

Wow, that means it takes place in the early 90s. It could be a somewhat different kind of game. Also, Kiryu wasn't the same person before he went to prison. I mean, he was actually a gangster rather than someone trying to get away from that life.

PS3 and PS4, will probably be all about Kiryu, Nishiki, and Yumi's excellent adventures. If that ends up being true, I wonder what that actually means from a gameplay perspective. Kazuma was a sort-of badass, but he wasn't the super-badass that we knew and have watched him grow into over the games. And it's hard to say how much of a fighter Nishiki was. I mean, yeah, they can rewrite things however they want as far as gameplay goes and have you do all kinds of awesome poo poo so the game is fun, but there will be a disconnect there when you think about it. Maybe it'll actually be a game where you play as a young Fuma/Kazama and tote around lil' Kiryu, Nishiki, and Yumi.
