RGG Studio (Yakuza, Judgment, Binary Domain, Project Century ) Discussion Thread

Yeah it's looking like they will put it up day of like they did w/ P4G, which is odd because every other Yakuza game had pre-orders available for at least a couple weeks before hand.

Unless...

I really liked the fighting system in 0 and Kiwami, then got to Kiwami 2, which is supposed to have way better gameplay, but I liked 0 and Kiwami a lot more. Maybe I was just burned out. I'll give it another shot eventually. I still have a lot of 7 to go through, but I'm avoiding it for now because I don't really care for the management mini-game and I dread going through it to get the other party member.

i do prefer 0 and kiwami 1's combat because 2 got rid of styles. it's a new engine so developers doesn't have time/resources to include different styles like in the previous games. kiwami 2's combat gets boring after halfway trough

Dragon Engine is pretty jarring, though. First time I tried playing Kiwami 2 I just got thrown off by the enemies flying around everywhere and how Kiryu's head was kinda squished and it just didn't feel like a Yakuza game. It was like going from any Souls game except DS2 over to DS2. So Kiwami 2 was also when I burned out last time I did Yakuza, but I have played the original Yakuza 2 before and that was definitely worth it so I know there's some greatness in Kiwami 2 as well (or should be) so eventually I'll be going back, myself.

Where is my fucking Yakuza? If i don't see store page today i will start playing Atelier Ryza tomorrow until Nioh 2.

 

[Deflowerer]

Dunno, I think the weightiness of Dragon Engine action combat was nice change of pace. It's just that they didn't have experience of creating multiple games in the same engine under the belt yet to iterate it into being real good.

 

[Fishy]

I lamented the lack of the fighting styles, but boy, did it never get old to throw random mobs into restaurants and slam their head against the counter. Heck, just walking into most indoor areas without a loading screen is cool.

seems they are doing their bullshit of dropping a store page on day of like they did with P4G... P4G continues to be a blight on the industry, not only did it effectively destroy the SMT franchise by the influx of weeb coomers and *disgust* VITA FANS (pedophiles) but now it is stopping store pages to appear...

I didn't think I could hate P4G any more but here we are.. Thanks SEGA!

Persona 4's legacy is impossible to destroy. A game, an anime, an updated release of the game, a new game plus version of the anime, an OVA about the bad end, dancing game spinoffs, fighting game spinoffs, whatever Persona Q was, and an appearance of his outfit and music from the game in Smash Ultimate, Yu Narukami is the cockroach of JRPG protagonists.

Installing Ryza.

 

[Deadass]

it's not coming out.

it's not coming out.

Suggested plot twist: it's coming out, but as an Epic exclusive.

I personally prefer the Dragon Engine combat. To me it also feels more fluid when playing, while also doing more to stick to character.

Some of the mechanics used in Dragon Engine like Burst Heat are also much more improved versions of earlier iterations, ie in case of Burst Heat it's a way better take on Dragon Spirit from Yakuza 5.

Any reason not to get this on the PS4? As far as i've gathered the difference is mainly 60 fps, which should be negilible for a turnbased game?

I'd prefer the ease of use of just planting my ass on the couch and push the start button in that case.

Anything else i'm missing?

I guess you're missing a hdmi cable.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Couch and a big screen are really the best way for games with long cutscenes like Yakuza IMO. But to each their own.

My PC is in my workroom. I would need a 30 meter hdmi cable at least and drill a whole lot of holes into walls in order to connect it to my TV in my living room.

No thanks.

Just move the couch and TV to the workroom. Problem solved.

And as a bonus, no more sharing the couch with wife and kids.

I have it on PS4 and I'm very happy with it. There's no reason not to get it.
