Damn they did Nagoshi dirty
Greater exposure inevitably brings drama. I think for Yakuza it began all the way back with the first model replacements because of some drug scandal or another, I forget. Then Yakuza 0 brought entirely new audiences into the fold.
With how much celebrity bullshit they've always had in these games, it's no big surprise. Y5 especially had all that shilling for the Watami group, a black company that worked employees to literal death. It's just that this kind of stuff goes unnoticed by western players.
Shinsengumi/10 will play strip rock paper scissors again.
I'm playing righ now. 10 hours in. For me, it's a great game, with all the ingredients of a Yakuza game, but during the Edo period. Combat is fun, with the different styles. Substories and minigames galore.
From what I've seen, it's the best of the Kiwamis so far because it just copy and pastes the combat from the original. However, it is still far inferior to the original for many of the same reasons as the previous remakes, like gaudy special effects, unnecessary cast changes altering characters, and new content that seems shoehorned in and unnecessary. It also adds those retarded health bars floating over every enemy, which I fucking hate, it looks so bad. The HUD is disgusting in general with those gaudy trading cards taking up such a big portion of the screen.
These next two games are make-or-break for me regarding RGG. All this weird shit involving random western ecelebs and removing peoples’ names from credits… I don’t like it.
I posted it somewhere but I was like 30 hours in before I even got the cards. Just running around crossing things off my completion list.
Guy's cadence reminds me of William Shatner.
