>just can't stop thinking about 100% Yakuza 0 instead because I didn't the first time I played it

Fuck, why is this franchise so good?

Also, the demo for Y6 will be up again next week!

I'm playing through 5 for the first time right now, currently Shinada. I don't see what people were complaining about other than maybe too many characters. The Haruka section was pretty annoying.

I liked 5, but you can easily get burned out playing it because of how huge it it. I really enjoyed the hunting minigame with Saejima but didn't care much about the other except Kiryu, I am a fag for Kiryu though so that is to be expected.

Yeah, when it first took me away from Kiryu I was not thrilled but then the Haruka section was a lot worse. Not that I don't like Haruka but man, I don't want to keep doing handshake minigames, dance offs, etc.

I am pretty hyped for it, I am currently watching the stream they did recently.

Kek, the part where the fans talk about their art was pretty cringy but it is great to see how many different people the franchise has touched.

I wish I had more good screenshots from my Ishin playthrough but SEGA blocks the capture function everywhere except premium adventure mode. Game actually ran better than 0 and Kiwami on a regular PS4.

Attached: 龍が如く 維新!_20180114141205.png (1920x1080, 3.21M)

SEGA and the Ryu Ga Gotoku team are a lot more aware of how people want more Yakuza, recently their reps even joked something about "Oh I thought there would be only questions about Ishin" or something like that.

Don't lose hope, I kinda feel it is coming, I hope to GOD that Y6 does well on sales, having it released at the same time as Soy Of War - My Wife's Son was not a very good idea.

Yeah but what about Yakuza of the North Star?

Attached: yogi lucifer.jpg (640x480, 187K)

Probably early 2019. 2 yakuza games a year is pretty great so asking for more is stretching it man

This is bad. Oversaturing the market will get people tired of the series. 4 games in 2 years you know.

I have faith it'll come soon.

What a sick fucking main theme.

I actually decided to order a copy from PlayAsia because of this, the delay was fucking retarded and pointless. I'm not gonna buy a fucking Far Cry game over Yakuza.

>dont like the changes in Kiwami 2 such as combat not being similar to 1-5 or music changes to cheer rock

Anyone have the comparison of the PS2 fight with the PS4 fight? Should I get 2 for my PS2 or Kiwami for my PS4?

>Soy Of War - My Wife's Son
Oh come on you can come up with a better insult than using newfag memes. Looking at gameplay it did look very slow compared to at least GOW 1. I dont understand why people want slow, or rather why devs think people want that.

people who follow Yakuza "personalities" that aren't SEGA themselves are pathetic

>i'm trying to promote the game by talking shit about it
fuck off britfags

Its a game for Hokuto no Ken fans. I am a very big fan of that series.

Attached: ...........jpg (640x432, 23K)

I fucking loooooove the aesthetic and atmosphere of the first two games (at native PS2 resolution), especially Yakuza 2 had fantastic cinematography. Felt kind of Oshii at times and reminded me especially of Patlabor 2.

Wish they would hurry up with PS4 ports of 3-5 I want to continue playing the series and the Kiwami remakes are taking too long. Trying to sourca a PS3 and games is just way too much of a hassle, and it's going to be ages if they ever get emulatable (currently getting ~10fps in Y3 on a 4.3Ghz i5.)

I don't know about you but for some reason I'm pleasantly suprised whenever I hear Korean in a video game, albeit there's very little Korean lines in 6. Just seems so rare. Great boss theme.

Well, never watched Hokuto no Ken, might give it a try before I judge it.

doesnt matter normies are going to play it before the og ones

fuck off

I warn you though, while it has a very great plot and interesting events there is some filler as some later episodes were being made faster than the manga author could publish them. I think around episode 82 theres like 5 straight episodes of kenshiro just "reminiscing" about past events. Thats 5 episodes of flashbacks. useful in 1986 but now a days you can just skip them.

I just find it really cool that the localization team/devs use a new logo now, the "Ryu ga Gotoku Studio" logo. Maybe it's a sign of things to come.

This is the best song in Y6.

Exactly. But fanboys on Sup Forums will be bitching about it just for the sake of bitching.
>much elitists
The majority of people buying now these games are normies and they are the fuel for the sales so why you have to bitch about a couple of elitists?

So should I play 2 or just wait for Kiwami 2?

Nah, First4Figures are making a new Kiryu's figure and it looks really cool. I mean, their original one wasn't that tragic, but with the new one they nailed it.

Attached: DSuvoahXcAAjdwl.jpg large.jpg (2048x1130, 238K)

Well, I don't see the problem on that. Honestly, I don't see where Y2 is better than YK2 unless they cut a LOT of shit.

There are new girls in Kiwami 2. No more Yuma Asami.

Oh boy, you don't know the suffering that is wanting a figure from your favourite franchise when said franchise is Yakuza.

I heard they cancelled that one, only way to go is custom I guess.

Attached: kill me majima... please.jpg (1280x720, 91K)

That original one looks like a shitty prize figure. Also, is Kiwami 2 really bad or something? I haven't been hanging out in Yakuza threads much for some time now.

>go to SEGA Twitter
>look at Kiwami 2 localization announcement tweet
>99% of replies are port begging and "this would be perfect on the Switch"

Why is Yuki the only one with a regular looking face?

Has any Yakuza game even been on a Nintendo platform? Also, why the fuck do Nintendo fans beg ports, for everything

Nah, just original fags bitching.

I got the demo from the japanese psn and I had lots of fun with it even though it is pretty limited. Combat feels better than on Y6.

Attached: 1514605348724.png (850x1031, 1002K)

Kiwami 2 definitely has its flaws, and I absolutely don't think that it replaces the original 2 like a lot of fags will claim, but how far must your head be stuck up your own ass to claim the remake is "a worse game"?

Yakuza 1+2 were on Wii U only in Japan but they both looked like garbage and sold even worse than they looked.

>Kiwami 2 on the Switch

How innocent are they? It takes a huge tow on a base PS4 already.

For some weird ass reason Sega made the HD versions of the original Yakuza 1 and 2 for Wii U that's about it though.

There was the remastered version of 1+2 for the WiiU.

Anyone here imported Hokuto no Gokuto? Did it turn out good?

>why the fuck do Nintendo fans beg ports, for everything
Payback for years of "when will Nintendo go bankrupt and drop out of the console race so I can play their games on my PC/phone/Sony console?"

Alrighty kiddy. How bout you sign a petition for Yakuza series to come to Switch, I'm sure an extra 1000 will make Sega/Sony consider.

Ah fuck, she was the cutest.

It's a great game, but again, I'm a huge fan of the series and will buy anything FotNS related. The substories are great, the story reminds me of 6's in terms of the twists, and the distractions and minigames are standard Yakuza fare. Bartending game is a nice addition. Killing thugs with different techniques never gets old, and you can actually juggle in the game. Voice acting is top notch from the Yakuza cast, and the girls are cute too.

>he is different than Kiryu
>Kiryu had a lot of friends, people that supported him and a certain standing within the Yakuza
>Kasuga has nothing, no friends, no support, he is the lowest of the low in the organization
>what he does with that is what will make him different from the previous characters

What did the Ryu Ga Gotoku mean by this?

>and Kasuga's story begins right after the end of Yakuza 6

Hmm

I don't care and Japan won't care.

Nice. I just found out the game already came out because of this thread. I'm honestly buying Yakuza 6 and Kiwami 2 as a stepping stone for the HnK game.

>begins right after the end of Yakuza 6
No it won't.

tranquilo

They said it does on their latest stream where they announced Kiwami 2.

The producer even said that other characters may return to aid him in some way.

Attached: kazuma3.jpg (790x1106, 199K)

I hope they completely ditch Kamurocho desu.

Damn, they're gonna break one of these series' longest traditions? That kinda sucks, I've always thought it was a cool novelty.

The series is stale and needs a shot in the arm. Blame the developers for shoving whores and baby's at Kiryu instead of anything cool.

Is there any kind of English guide for it yet? I ordered it recently

khhsubs.com/hgg/home.html

Is Kenzanfag still working on his translation patch? He hasn't updated his tumblr in a while.

Is the steelbook edition out of stock already or is it just not up yet?

The firsst two Yakuza games look so fucking great. I hate how clean, shiny and sterile the modern ones look.
I also miss the locked Survivor Horror style camera. It gave the game and it's areas much more character.

Fuck this. I hate Kiryu being brought back every single game but Akiyama should be the new main character.

thanks to the fujos for the cool art

n-no! They removed the tower scene!!

I don't know why so many people like Akiyama, always found him pretty bland and shitty. Playing him on 4 and 5 was such a chore.

Shit, he's only on chapter 5? Oh well, I guess I will take it slow. I donated to KHH when I got Ishin

>Also, why the fuck do Nintendo fans beg ports, for everything
The Wii U had horrid third party support and with titles like Doom and LA Noire getting kinda shitty ports, they now are convinced that the Switch will be the Nintendo console with third party support and demand it

I want a west release of the hokuto no ken game
