Just finished Yakuza Zero

why is majima such a cuck

What a fucking ignorant and childish view on it. There are constant themes throughout the game regarding the psychological impact on directly contributing to peoples' deaths, especially on Majima's side. Sagawa specifically told Majima how murder effects you for the rest of your life, no matter how fucking shitty the person you killed is. Majima was extending that wisdom to Makoto. You're not very good at understanding gambits or underlying concepts. Stick to Mass Effect to deliver you the superior narrative you crave, it'll be much easier for you to understand.

If you mean the assassion or Awano then no, they were made up for Zero. IIRC, the only leader types not new to 0 are Shimano, Dojima, and Sera.

you're right, if majima had killed someone, he might have gone crazy and started attacking people with knives. thank god that didn't happen

If you're talking about this boy you're in for a wild ride

It's easier to just say he was always like that but he had to act like how he did in 0 until he didn't have to anymore.
Started with 0 and went to Kiwami recently. It did have an emotional impact, no idea what you're on about.

Yeah he's a character from Yakuza 4
Pretty interesting how the two posters who replied had no idea what you were referring to

yes. you even get to play as him in 4 and 5. his a fucking beast.

RUBBER.BULLETS!

Isn't this due to the Japanese game rating system where if the protagonist kills people it would be for higher age category or something? At least that's what I read somewhere before.

>Pretty interesting how the two posters who replied had no idea what you were referring to
That's how 0babbies usually works

I always wonder why people have such problems with "affect" and "effect". Is this some native thing?

God I fucking hate Zero babbies, bringing Yakuza to PC was a mistake.

what, don't you love all caps karaoke lyrics and le funni faceapp threads?

I'm a zero babby and I even I knew that Saejima appears later on in the timeline, mainly because somebody will always posts that webm with him and Haruka.

This. I'm not sure I agree that it should have focused on Kiryu and Nishiki more. They even set Majima's boiling point perfectly, it's just that they undo the damage before he goes crazy. He gets a little speech not to go over the edge, regains his humanity, then becomes a mad man anyway.

kind of doubt that they would be able to get a lower rating just because of that. there's still plenty of violence, sex, drugs/alcohol, et cetera. regardless, it has nothing to do with the game's themes, or whatever that other guy is thinking. each character had already crossed the line and was mentally prepared to kill. they just whipped up a bullshit explanation to prevent it from actually happening at the very last second, and fell for it. makes me wonder if it's his first yakuza game, because it's not the first time it's happened in this series, at this point it's just something you roll your eyes at

maybe if majima actually had killed someone, it would have been an adequate explanation for why he's so unhinged. or if makoto had really died, maybe that would have pushed him over the edge. instead they do stupid shit like give awano a hero's death, someone who clearly didn't deserve it. the story has some blatant flaws, but 0 babbies won't hear of it

The stuff they added to Kiryu and Nishiki's relationship added a lot to 1. They should have just made Yumi not shit too and then maybe Yakuza 1's story wouldn't be such a snore anymore.

Depends what you mean. He gave up any hope of being his own person, and decided that he should live indebted to the crazy/flamboyant people that gave their lives for him to live.

He was right in that instant though, but the game's do suffer from batman syndrome. Saejima pouring his heart out about how traumatized he was over killing those people only to find out it was rubber bullets is a much worse example of that.

what the fuck, yuki

I see his craziness as more of a mask to who he really is. Even in later games Majima will act more series. As for why he does it. I dunno really because people who were fuckin nuts gave their lives so he could live and hes kinda broken anyway by the end.

To be fair, Saejima is barely mentioned after Majima's conversation with Sagawa where Majima talks about why he wants to get back into the Yakuza, so I wouldn't expect him to be one of the first characters to come to mind for someone who's only played 0 and maybe one or two other games in the series so far. That said, you'd expect they would have at least gotten around to playing 4 by now if they're really such big fans of the games, assuming they played 0 in 2017.

Too lazy to make thread. Should i pre order judgement or wait for the Yea Forumserdict?

I've heard good things about it, I don't know if I'll buy it on release though. I'm not entirely in the mood for more Yakuza right now and I could use the money, but if you're in the mood, I say you may as well go for it.

the trailer looks cool, the english voices are kinda cringe

Nah.

>don't want ties with the yakuza because once you're in, it's almost impossible to go back
Bad writing lol

Japan says the game is pretty good but only retards pre-order.

>Even mentally registering the english option for a Jap cultural sim.

Make a japanese account and try the demo, see if you like the gameplay

the trailer had english voices, who the hell even uses them when they play?

Majima told her basically she hit the wall after 20 years

He wanted her to have a better life you dumbfuck, which is why he has that chat with the doctor. Going back into the yakuza with her at his side would've just been careless, as he would've put her in danger once again. Letting go of her was the only way she could've lived the life she deserved.

Rubber rockets, rubber helicopter, rubber ground

>never mentions her even after her death
5's story is a big mess

rubber bullets duh

>lets her go so she will be safe
>she almost gets kidnapped and raped by random yakuza
oof

It's very easy at the start. Once you start getting into Chono's domain onward it starts getting ridiculous with you having to split up your teams, boss level enemies being thrown at you constantly, and your guys running away from their designated positions because that's how they did in 6 so they can chase one guy across the map running away even if you tell them to go run somewhere else. You only really need two gun users though, just make sure they have rockets, pistol users are worthless.

They really really didn't like what happened to Haruka, how the game was missing a lot of staple characters, and how a lot of content was removed with the new engine. Plus the new engine just felt rushed in general so it's understandable to see it from their point of view.

>Haruka
Wasn't she a shit character to begin with though?
Nah honestly I get it, even Kiwami 2 feels like a step down in a lot of ways so 6 must've felt super shitty

Don't bitch about a story if you aren't willing to play the fucking conclusion. Everything is wrapped up in Kiwami 2 you retard.

3.0 is the most appropriate score for Yakuza 6/10 though. Kiwami should be lower, but its quality is made easier to stomach by it not being a fully-priced game.

>don't bitch about the poor writing in this game, because this entirely separate game fixes the bad writing retroactively
wow you sure shut me up. shame on me for judging a game on its own merits. and maybe yakuza 7 will fix the bad writing in y5 too!

You have to keep in mind that the character of Majima had been around for quite some time before zero was released. You also have to factor in that Yakuza is an ongoing series that the original Majima is a part of. So this basically left the developers with two options: Remake the whole series to canonically change Majima as a character, or simply make him act the way he was originally intended. Heck you even get a cutscene and some dialouge that blatantly tells you that the way Majima acts in zero is just a persona. He was a crazy asshole who got put in the torture pit and due to the threat of being sent back, he assumed a more subservient personality until that threat no longer existed. I greatly enjoyed playing as a different take on Majima’s character, but I also knew that his return to form was inevitable.

People still liked Haruka because "muh daughteru" so seeing that the newest game was about how Haruka got jizzed inside by some rando chink, people weren't too happy about that

Tatsuya and the not kiryu from the samurai games are the only protagonists that have killed people in their games

Attached: Tatsuya kills shimano with hair.png (2560x1440, 2.04M)

he's one of the best playable characters in the series.

gameplay sequences are basically not canon.

amazon uses a 5 star rating system

What is that guys fucking problem?

>Wasn't she a shit character to begin with though?
Nah, she really came into her own in 3 by standing up to Mine at the orphanage and trying to be a mature person, and then in 5 she also is trying her best for both Kiryu and the orphanage until she goes full retard. She even had some great substories in 5. People viewed her

Wait, what? Tatsuya thought he killed the guys in the Tojo Clan but I don't recall anyone else dying to him in 1 or 2. Kakizaki didn't die during the fight because Tatsuya went outside and talked to Ryo immediately after. Or did he die later on and I just missed it in passing.

>arrested show up in any later games?
Yes, he's a playable protagonist in 4 and 5, and my absolute favorite because he's an absolute fucking tank.

Didn't really seem like that to me considering he would have been chased immediately by Asura considering when Akita (Okita?) got shot Tatsuya was chased by literally everyone.
Speaking of which, that segment was hilarious.
>Run away with your buddies.
>Steal a truck.
>Battle begins with Asura.
>The other truck has spectators and random civilians cheering you on.
Laughed quite a bit during that fight, it was like if the segment during 2 just had another truck filled with people to cheer Kiryu on in beating up the Jingweon guys.

Where I can find the BP series?

Search up BlueDiskHaven or BDH and start looking around, I think D-Addicts had them last. The subs are crabsticks taken off of a Chinese bootleg if I remember right, they're not timed perfectly, some lines don't even have subs, and finding the Asura season wasn't something I could find myself since those links were taken down.
Also keep in mind that the story of the show isn't even close to the story in the game, even from the beginning picture related never happened in the game at all and Tatsuya is way too nice compared to the game considering he was essentially a dick to everyone and until chapter 9 he was a complete asshole to everyone but cute doctor girl.

Loaded up Yakuza 0 on a CRT screen for shits and giggles.
Would never ever play this way seriously, but it's interesting that the engine still supports 4:3. I know it's technically the same engine as Yakuza 3 and 4, but I wouldn't have expected 4:3 to still be supported to any degree.

Nah. This turning point isn't displayed properly, sufficiently or interestingly. It just doesn't happen on-screen and it's not supported by surrounding circumstances sufficiently if you care about the quality of writing. I don't like finishing plotlines in my head and that's what his arc was asking me to do. Fuck headcanon shit.

>buff sadistic protag
Can't wait for the pc remaster in 10 years

Ishin where you and Okita raid Tokugawa's castle and then there's that one where you go into the one inn and fight your way up to Katsura.
Kenzan's Tsuruya one would be great if it wasn't for the dumb burning logs everywhere slowing the area down, Shishido Baiken's gauntlet is fun, and that one temple was great, I love that area and I'm so happy a bunch of Ultimate Missions take place there.
5's first gauntlet as Kiryu is fun but I can't remember what you were there for and Shinada near the end of his story was fun. I think there was also one near the end with the Saejima/Kiryu split and you get to fight up the entire Millennium Tower.
4's gauntlet with Akiyama on the roofs is fun since you're hopping around a bunch of them, and Tanimura wielding the briefcase is fun just because it's a different way to handle the gauntlets.
2's Osaka Castle was fun outside of the traps every five feet and the Kamuro Hills gauntlet in 2, not K2, was great.
0's got the great Kuze one at the start and I seem to recall one other one but I'm blanking right now.

If I had to pick just one out of all of those great ones I'd probably pick either the Tokugawa Castle from Ishin because it's just run, especially when you get to the cannon part and end on the fight with Daigo or I'd pick the Kenzan one in the temple because I seriously enjoy that temple's layout and all the bombs you use.

0 is the best game in the series and karaoke lyrics are great
that doesn't mean that the other games aren't great too, and 4 is probably the 2nd best

Is Kiwami 2 good?

I hope he's more kick oriented than punch oriented. He just feels like he should be doing that more than punching (Though I guess Akiyama kind of makes me feel that way due to the red suit).

The answer is on their backs.

Kiryu is a dragon. An incomplete dragon at this point. He is a prolific force with a high moral standard but he is not yet a full dragon.

Majima is a demon lady. He is vicious and unrelenting. Agonizing. Deep down he is a monster but he is unpredictable so you can't predict him.

Basically he is a crazy little bitch.

Attached: tenor.gif (498x278, 898K)

that's what happens when idiots prop up something clearly incredibly faulty as 'no best Yakuza ever' and react with qq at anyone who points out Y0's flaws
combine that with a bunch of newfags coming in and going 'my insert_first_Yakuza best ever' and you've got poison
can't have an honest discussion when all people want to do is drive by shitpost Y0's story being great/all other games aren't as good

his appearance makes him feel like an outright thug with a heavy handed fighting style.
we'll have to see what they give him though, since characters fight way different in the cutscenes compared to the actual gameplay.

Yea, mostly better than kiwami 1 but the new engine makes combat worse

you have it backwards, 0 says the Majima you know is a persona, a mishmash of Nishitani/Godhand/whoelse and that Y4-style non-Kiryu protag is true Majima
the idea of a facade is fine, but he ends up being Kiryu-light like every other Yakuza protag you control, their personality really only manifests once they're outside of your control

still not as character annihilating as Kiryu joining the Yakuza cause he wanted to be cool like his foster daddy, and the getting booted having never done any shady Yakuza shit, really makes him turning his life around in Y1-2 culminating in 3's intro a giant fucking farce

I love how the game ended with Kiryu and Majima meeting, doing y'know, the Kiryu-chan thing, which is a relationship not established by 0 at all, so it's completely meaningless to everyone who didn't play other games to begin with
it's this horrible George Lucas poetry it rhymes shit, and yeah Y0 does have SW prequelitis in it a fair bit

>really makes him turning his life around in Y1-2 culminating in 3's intro a giant fucking farce
from the word go kiryu is a saint who can do no wrong I don't know what you're talking about

His appearance definitely gives off a "rough thug" sort of look for sure, but at the same time I don't see him as rough as Saejima for example. I expect him to hit more like Tatsuya than Kiryu, but not as restrained as Akiyama, Tamiura, or Shinada feel when they fight people. I want to see him be rough but very unrefined. I really hope they take a look at Yagami's styles a bit because the leg sweeps feel like something Ichiban would be doing.

I wonder if they'll declare him to be a dragon at the end of Shin or wait until Shin 2 or 3.

Considering Kiryu became 4th chairman in his very first game Shin will probably revolve around him maturing into the role of a Dragon. That's what I'd expect at least.

The main protagonist will probably have a dragon tattoo too and once Ichiban beats him he’ll be known as the Dragon of [insert Patriarch here] from there on like in Yakuza 0

They really shouldn't have made Y0 Kiryu a saint like all of the other games. I had high hopes when he beat the dude in the intro but it ended up disappointing me. I've always found Kiryu to be cheesy endearing but it does kinda flatten his redemption arc that his personality in 0 was essentially the same. I liked the story of Y0 as a whole though.

He has a Koi turning into a Dragon already. Maybe they'll go full fan service and make him the Dragon of Majima.

0 was more Majima's story with Kiryu there as an obligation.

He wasn’t portrayed as a saint at all. He fucks up a ton, gets two people’s pinkies chopped off and then nearly kills Shibusawa

it's okay when those people are giant scumbags.

Because they change the karaoke songs every few instalments

baka mitai isn't a series staple. it's only in 5, 0, and kiwami.

>The one guy blazed out of his mind joins the thread
I enjoy that this is the reason you find the game to off-putting.

Just realized being drunk in Kiwami 2 fucks up your movement. I thought it was my controller.

It does it in the new engine but only when you're completely drunk. If you get into one fight or just run around for like three minutes it'll drop one tick lower and you're back to regular movement.

To be fair I was pretty annoyed when 5 didn’t have Pure Love in Kamurocho

>Take these guns and bullets

saejima is a big dumb meathead. if it was literally any other character, even a faceless mook, i wouldn't believe it. but saejima is just that stupid

I'm pretty sure there have been entire libraries worth of sentences explaining how retarded this plan was and why it would and should never have worked. It was so batshit that I honestly refuse to believe it exists and that somehow it's bad translation. I know in my heart it's not true but how can one writer be so retarded.

>Don't look too closely at them though
How many guns and bullets do you think he would have seen in his life?
He's a fucking Jap, before that day the answer was likely fucking ZERO. How would he be able to tell the difference?

>And after you shoot, run away and don't inspect any of the bodies at all
Dude just finished a hit on 18 fucking people, in what world do you stick around to inspect bodies after that? He wasn't a professional hitman, he was an over-ambitious grunt way in over his head.

in y0 i remember that kiryu said something about he will never kill someone but just knock them out but in 1 he faked a murder scene and u have bunch of guns and stuff as secondaries

pretty sure that rubber bullets can't actually knock a person out, unless they made up some retarded super rubber bullets that can.

It's hard to get guns in Japan even for gokudou

>He's a fucking Jap,

he's in the yakuza, a gun would've passed him here adn there. and there are civvies that are gun nuts in japan despite how hard it is to get them.

>in what world do you stick around to inspect bodies after that?

If you have a clear target you're probably gonna double check the bullet at least killed your target, especially in the yakuza, if you go for a high profile hit like that and come back with your mark still alive you're either doing a lot of talking or a lot of punishing

>reading comprehension

In the cutscene they're all scrambling for their guns and he shoots them as they're reaching for the guns. He even tackles one or two of them as they're doing it. He was also expecting Majima to be there with him which would have lessened the burden and worry AND keep in mind he planned to more or less go out anyway for his boss.

Don't forget that Majima was also a newbie at the time so it probably passed by him as well.

saejima's trigger finger is so strong, it makes guns more powerful

But they’re bodyguards for a Clan patriarch, some of them would definitely have guns especially Katsuragi

Isn't there a scene in Yakuza 4 where the police chief is shot with a rubber bullet at point blank range and the shooter doesn't realize he fired a rubber bullet? I remember that happening but it also seems so stupid that I feel like I'm misremembering.

That’s not how prison fucking works, you can’t just escape and go back in to finish off your sentence with no extra time. Why did the writers make him escape prison yet again in 5 when he had a few months left of his sentence anyway

Yeah but with how many people were holding him back at the beginning of the shootout someone further back easily could’ve reached for their gun and unloaded into him though I suppose he would’ve just shrugged off the bullets

Arai shot Munakata in his office, yeah.

because of all the shit that was going down in the story,
also, saejima promised the warden he'd finish his sentence.

Because then he wouldn't have to go to prison anymore and not being on the run is not his Yakuza way.

I want to say that he wore a vest, but you're probably right.

4's plot is such a mess that all I can remember is Kiryu's fights with the other 3 charactes and the roof top right.

Like I know the excuse they come up with ingame for him escaping I just don’t get why the writers made him escape again, just let him do his time or don’t send him to jail at all

>That’s not how prison fucking works, you can’t just escape and go back in to finish off your sentence with no extra time. Why did the writers make him escape prison yet again in 5 when he had a few months left of his sentence anyway

Thread is a perfect example of why you don't start with 0. Majimas character arc was lost on every single 0fag, not to mention all the misconceptions regarding the rest of the cast and games.

I wonder if they'll follow up on that if they bring Tanimura back now that his face/VA got changed.

>pirated Yakuza 0 since everyone says it's good
>get bored within 15 hours
>uninstall

The fucked up the perfect setup to explain why he was batshit in 1.

I really hope he comes back in some way, maybe owning a chain of batting cages or coming back for some substories. There’s so many great characters that they hate to reuse, it kinda sucks

I really doubt it. If they were gonna bring him back it’d be in 6 when Little Asia burns down

They did, he just wanted to have fun and live his own way. Fuck, even 3 said that he’s basically just putting on a persona

>he's in the yakuza, a gun would've passed him here adn there.
You think he would know the ins and outs of a gun just from seeing his boss have one? Just seeing a gun or even holding a gun once or twice doesn't mean you're gonna know the difference between a real thing and riot control equipment.

I don't think you're understanding the 'it was his first time killing' thing. He's not a professional hit man, hell, as he describes later he was fucking terrified when he pulled it off.
He wasn't cold and calculated in the hit, he was just trying to get shit done and fucking bounce.

so all this time, majima was really just cyndi lauper?

>That’s not how prison fucking works, you can’t just escape and go back in to finish off your sentence with no extra time.
It is if you have significant enough control/sway over the jail or government

why is it that all the other games you’re rasing another man’s daughter, and later on her chink baby, except for 0, which is considered the best.
doesn’t feel like a coincidence

>except for 0, which is considered the best.
You're protecting someone's sister in that.
All of the ones that are good are the ones where you're protecting a girl

you’re not expected to raise someone’s sister as opposed to a daughter

General Yakuza thread?

How the fuck do I run in Kiwami 2? I can either walk or sprint. Where's the middle ground like in the other games?

Isn't running just holding down the stick? I don't remember

>Isn't running just holding down the stick?
That just makes me walk

they changed it in the dragon engine, so you can't run just by tilting the stick all the way.

You have to very slightly move the control stick to jog.

you're barely ever raising the kids outside of 3. whenever they do appear, you're just protecting them

Playing this on PC makes me realize how shitty Judgement looks.

What JAV actress is this hostess based on?

Drag Daigo is cuter.

the dark souls community tried to warn you of what would happen

Putting games on PC was a mistake. PCs should just stick to being glorified document machines.

Yeah man no one ever complained about zero fans before the PC version. The fanbase was in complete harmony.

Reminder that Kaldaien released Special K for Kiwami 2. The port is a mess under the hood and this gave me almost 10fps boost in Kamurocho streets.

Hate the guy all you want but he knows what he's talking about. The game has two threads constantly running checking for DS4 controllers even if you don't have one which reduces performance. You can suspend these threads using special k. He kinda fixed the Z render path thing and that's probably what gave me an fps boost.

Just when he thought he was out out, they pulled him back in.

I started from Zero, but I've always preferred Kiryu over Majima.

Plus, its not like Zero doesn't have problems, the real estate minigame is shit. Most of the time you have to stay afk if you want to progress.

Even though I am playing Kiwami 2 atm and the clan creator minigame is even worse compared to the Real Estate from 0.

>malware

No thanks.

>Plus, its not like Zero doesn't have problems, the real estate minigame is shit. Most of the time you have to stay afk if you want to progress.
That's "bad" but you can very easily just do it normally if you go and play the game normally inbetween collecting shit.
If you want to get it naturally/in one go you have to afk but you can do it outside of that fairly normally
also Y0 is the best cabaret, K2 has worse music and theming and FOTNS is just kind of bad

I liked the cabaret from Kiwami 2. At least they balenced out a lot of the customizations for your Platinums and the Cabaret Grand Prix is better, I wish they expanded the leagues in some way. But still I found it fun like it was in 0.

Plus they nailed Aika in Kiwami 2. Best personality.

i thought of it more as putting on a mask to hide the pain of something he could never have

That has literally happened before though.
