They confirmed that Yakuza will stay turn based while Judgement carries on the brawling style

Drippy-goo-yay, mother-gunker!
I just finished Judgment last night and it’s probably one of my favorite game stories in several years. The different characters and their arcs were all tied together in a really satisfying way that too many open world games miss.

My only criticisms are the obvious ones: the tailing missions are too repetitive, and there isn’t enough actual detective work going on. If they have to do tailing missions in the sequel I just hope they can give them more depth and variety (switching targets, identifying in large crowds, that sort of thing) and same goes for investigations- they should something like the Sherlock Holmes games, where you go to a menu and bridge together strings of various clues to make different conclusions appear.

sega getting a sweet crazy buyout from stadia to give them time and resources to iron out the pc port of judgment is a genius move actually. yakuza ftw. all the news today has been great

Since xbox putting yakuza on gamepass in January 2020 I've played y0, k1, k2, y7, shenmue2, y3, y4, y5, and I'm in the end of y6 now lol. Played a few things in between but in conclusion- Sega rules. Oh yeah, im also buying the Judgment remaster for my next game.

I overestimated my gaming time/abilities and will absolutely not be finishing Yakuza 5 by the Nocturne release. I'll be lucky to wrap up 4 by then tbh

Wrapped up yakuza 4, ending was poo poo. The “actually I knew all along, <character> was just a pawn in an even bigger scheme!” thing works if they’re paced but having a bunch right at the end barely makes sense.

Developing three different characters along with Kiryu was neat though IMO, think they did a decent job of pulling that off.

There are shenmue references in yakuza and shenmue itself incorporates moves and influences from virtua fighter.... which you can play in yakuza.

I don't understand what Daigo was doing at any point. Or what most of the plot was doing at any point but I feel like they did my boy Daigo dirty

I played 3 and 4 back to back but taking a bit of a break before 5... already feel it calling though

oh my god the hostess club gets even better lmao. when majima starts doing the commentary. when he says "you take your eyes off this business for one second..." and yuki says "it's been 20 years" and then insults his entire affected persona. when kiryu does the loving four shine cheer. this was exactly what i needed tonight, thank you sega.

I love kiwami 2 so much. it breaks my heart a little bit that k2 and yakuza 6 are the only brawlers in this new engine.. I really feel like they have perfected the feel of combat with k2. going to have a short break and then start 3

3 is rough gameplay wise. I just put it on easy and mainlined the story. I loved the orphanage setting too. Just kiyru chilling on an island with his tropical shirt and his kiddos. I want more of that.

be interested to know what you think of the brawler combat coming off of the JRPG style, given that most people experience it the other way around.

I couldn’t figure out how to change the music in 10 seconds so I never did. I’m king of the road now though and those devil killer punks are toast. I got all the cosmetic upgrades but wound up never using them, having a plain unassuming taxi cab smoke souped up street racers is funnier
