I don't know much about Fist of the North Star but Yakuza is awesome and this looks super badass. Will definitely find a way to play it!

Combat is probably the weakest thing about yakuza games. They're great at making worlds with interesting quests and quirky shit though so I think this will be a good match for them. No interest in actually playing it tho.

They're brawlers, they're not trying to have deep character action combat and are more akin to Streets of Rage and they work as that and only really fall apart in 1 on 1 fights. Should work great here with FoTNS as well.

Me too! But they can be kinda jank control/gameplay-wise at least going by the older ones. I'm so many Yakuza games behind right now I don't even know if they've fixed any of the stuff. I'm still on Yakuza 3  :'(

I know they're brawlers. Just commenting that the combat in Yakuza games has grown weaker each entry. They're ok at that aspect and I think they'll be fine with FOTNS.

Has it grown weaker?  I mean from 1-2-4 was nothing but improvement. I'm not a huge fan of how 0 changes things, but I also haven't played as much of it.

1's combat was flawed. 2 had the sweet spot. 3 is old hat and boring. 4 had diversity so that's good. I haven't played 5. 0 is okay, and fighting styles are cool but it's hardly why I Play those games anymore, especially with random fucking battles. I'd be interested in seeing how the team takes the concept of combat outside of Yakuza's domain. My problem is probably just that Yakuza combat largely is the same shit I've played since 2006 and it's the most fucking boring part about them now. It might be good in FOTNS. Idk. Binary Domain was cool so I know they have the chops to make good games outside of more Ryu Ga Gatocrap.

I liked how they had to explain why the game doesn't run on the Dragon Engine, lol.
