Called it. It's movement-based. A hybrid :jeb

That way, you can move your character and when your heat bar is full, if you're near a wall, you can smash your enemies skull into the wall. :rejoice

Read that and saw the battle clip video and not sold right now. Hope it turns out fun & strategic though. I get they wanted to move to a team rpg with party members but maybe something like FFXII’s gambit system would’ve been a better fit.

Might as well just watch the "April Fool's" video since it's the same thing but with 8-bit music added.



If the game really is as crazy as this, I'm all for it.  :lol

Looks crazy. The girl is the biggest DQ influence in the video.

Biggest problem is speed. It’s slow as all fuck with a lot of elaborate animations and shit. Despite being like four minutes long battle there were maybe less than 10 turns taken.

Looking at the twitter gameplay footage it looks like they’ve either fixed the speed issue or the April fools video just used the most damaging, high animated attacks for show.

One thing we can confirm is that Heat is basically your Mana. It also looks based around team attacks.

Characters also have a “down” state like Xenosaga 2. Lol

Gotta love them pulling a spiked fucking bat out of their pockets. :lol

Let me put a bike in my pants lmao

You can tell DQ has a massive influence. This is basically what DQ would look like if it took place in a modern setting and had realistic graphics. This is oozing DQ charm.

Everything about the April fools thing looks cool except for the speed. And honestly the little clip looks slow af too.

A normal Yakuza game, with the same encounter rate and no other changes other than this combat system would be like 200 hours.

The April fools stuff looked sufficiently polished, but the twitter clips looks like it’s mini game tier.

They do crank these game out so quickly, it makes me wonder how good of a job
They can realistically do with what the schedules must be.

The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has new information on Yakuza: Like a Dragon (Yakuza 7: Whereabouts of Light and Darkness).

Get the tidbits below.

Characters

Saeko Mukouda (voiced by Sumire Uesaka) – Cabaret hostess.

Kouichi Adachi (voiced by Akio Ootsuka) – A former detective. He has received an unreasonable demotion by Horinouchi, the Superintendent General of the Metropolitan Police, for revolting against him. He is working with protagonist Ichiban Kasuga to get closer to Masumi Arakawa, who holds the evidence.

Live Command RPG Battle

When a battle begins, the regular people and those wearing delinquent-like outfits on the field will transform into RPG-like enemy characters with mohawks, or be half-naked, and have weapons.

Summons

By paying money on your smartphone in battle, you can summon help. A large number of characters can be summoned, including Gary Buster Holmes, Gonda Wara, a crayfish, and more. Summons can support you in battle through attack, recovery, and more.

Play Spots

Dragon Kart – A racing game set on a course in the streets of Yokosuka. Pick up boxes to obtain weapons like a rocket launcher or Gatling gun.
       
Traditional Movie Theater – Ichiban Kasuga always falls asleep in the middle of a movie. This is a button-pressing (rhythm game?) where Kasuga battles the temptation of a sheep man in order to overcome that sleepiness.

PachiSlot – PachiSlot games Million God: Kamigami no Gaisen Another God Hades: Ubowareta ZEUS Ver., PachiSlot Fist of the Blue Sky: Houyuu, and PachiSlot Moujuuou: Ouja no Houkou appear. Settings do not reset when you leave the parlor, but rather change with specific timing. Machines located closer to the entrance have higher rates, which reflect the settings of real life parlors. This is the only PachiSlot simulator running on PlayStation 4.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon is due out for PlayStation 4 on January 16, 2020 in Japan, and in 2020 in the Americas and Europe.

It just looks really dumb now. And wow do the party members look shitty.

I kind of think a one person battle system like Lightning Returns or the Last Ranker would have been better.

Finished Y0 last weekend with all substories (minus Amon), and in the finale of Kiwami with all subs done (minus Amon) right now as well. Probably gonna start Kiwami 2 tonight since I just got it on sale.

Minus the (mostly) shitty mini games, I’m loving these games far more than I ever imagined.

:jeb Where has this series been all my life? :jeb

P.S: Y7 looks fucking sick, but I’ll only day one it if I’m done with the rest of the games by then.

P.P.S: Make Binary Domain 2 already you fucking cunts :stahp

Does the main character have Majima’s voice actor?

They should have just made Y7 a Majima game.

it needs to either be faster or have less battles. can't have neither. would be sad if they fuck it up and then don't get a chance to improve it, because they'd immediately go back.

So I tried the demo for 7 and it's pretty funny. Like it plays the gag game/parody off really well and is fun and kept me laughing. I don't know if they can keep this up for an entire game, but if so this will actually be pretty great. Also, as a middle age guy with middle age friends I appreciate this rpg starring a middle age guy and his middle age friends.

I was gonna pass on it since I'm still pretty behind on the main series, but since it seems unrelated and this demo is great, I think I'll give it a shot. Just wish there was a PC version at launch.

Btw, I like that the gag in RGG7 is the main guy is delusional and thinks he's in an rpg and everything that happens is head fantasy version of reality and even the people in his "party" don't see anything he's seeing and are like "haha, you're crazy but it's all good". It's pretty funny and gives them a lot of room to do crazy ridiculous stuff. He's also like the complete opposite of Kiryu as a lead since he's a jobless late 30s or 40 something loser with mental issues. I dunno how they can make him the lead for multiple games since it seems like a one trick pony kinda lead.

I've been playing Judgement. I'm on chapter 4 and it's.....kind of boring.

I mean the gameplay is fine enough. I like how the main character feels to play. The story is interesting. Just seems like it has a lot of filler and is too long.

I'm in chapter 7 of Judgement. Pretty fun, I like how Yagami plays a lot. Love the walljumps and flipping over people's heads.

Story's slow and gets frequently bogged down with sidebars that other Yakuza games would leave as optional, but it's well told despite that. Hope it wraps up before it gets too stupid.

Edit: i do have to add though: this game has the worst encounter rates out of every one of these Yakuzas I've played barring the first one. Even utilizing taxis you run into 2-3 every time you go somewhere, and Yagami doesn't have any equipment slots to put an item that disables them. The best you have is a craftable potion that disables encounters for 5 minutes, which is a very inelegant solution to a problem that has no reason to exist.

Sega will release the paid downloadable content “Additional Challenge Expansion Pack” for Yakuza: Like a Dragon “soon” in Japan, which will add additional challenge elements such as “New Game Plus” and a “High Difficulty Mode” limited to a second playthrough, the company announced.

New game plus and higher difficulty settings are going to be PAID DLC?

Never played any of the Yakuza games. Saw Zero in Gamepass and thought I would give it a shot. Possibly the most boring opening thirty minutes of a game I have ever played. Felt like a damn Poodle on a short leach. Then the dialogue, oh fuck me running, shut up already. Even fast forwarding through he dialog and skipping cutscene after cutscene it just would not stop. Combat felt like nothing special and I estimated it would be 45 hours in before they let you have a weapon that was not a piece of furniture or lead pipe. Camera was wonky and I just gave up after playing though all the karaoke songs, which was the only thing I had found enjoyable due my love of boom boom rocket and rock band blitz. Even there, you got to do one song at the beginning and only after a couple hundred button presses to speed up conversation and roughly twenty five skipped cut scenes and loading screens I made it far enough to walk down a street without being told, "FUCK YOU mission is not this way" and was able to play more songs.

The games aren't for everyone for sure.  They are very Japanese in the heavy story element/cutscenes and somewhat obtuse control.  Once you get past the first story missions or two, the city opens up more and you can explore.  The combat does get better the more you go into the game also.

How fun you find Yakuza is highly correlated to how much you like weird Japanese shit.

The gameplay is mostly serviceable but if you laugh at grown men in diapers or mini games about fapping to cam girls, you might like it.

Iirc the intro is really low budget too. Like it has this weird graphic novel style in the beginning, and then it abandons that for bigger budget and then goes back to it in like one part later. It’s like they ran out of budget or something.

I finally started up Judgment. I’m liking the new character and the change of pace.

One thing about Kiryu is he’s such a dull cardboard cutout of a character. Tak feels much more like a real person. The English voice acting is pretty good too, except there’s one dude who sounds a lot like Dave Chapelle to me, and the scene he’s in just seems weird because of it.

0 was a fun game with some rough patches, kiwami is a shit game with a few bright spots, mostly sidequests.
