    Wonder is it going to be linked to any other media, since the capture is so perfect. I feel like there's a Quantum Break element to it too!

    Hard to tell without seeing hands on but I'm hoping it's not just all QTE's (like the fight scene in the trailer).

    It looks like Yakuza x Ace Attorney, nice to see Ryu ga Gotoku branching out though into other genres.

    I'm gonna be all over this like a bad rash! That looks like a blast to be fair.

    It's starring some fairly famous actors, so did the last few yakuza games, nothing to do with other media of it.

    It isnt remotely like a QTE game, it's a mix of beat 'em up and RPG

    I'll pick it up eventually, but probably not right away. Too much else to play.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,916 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    I'm mad to play it but same as Penn, I've a good few things on the go at the moment, will pick it up during the summer though.

    Interesting interview snippet https://nichegamer.com/2019/06/19/yakuza-creator-we-make-games-for-japan-and-asia-first-catering-too-much-lessens-our-appeal/

    So the reason why these games are so good is because they don't get diluted for mass appeal. Sweet.

    Yes! Make the game YOU want to play and the people will follow. When devs start pandering to what the PEOPLE want, it can get very messy, especially as majority of people are idiots.

    Didn't this game get taken off shelves when someone in it was busted for drugs??

    He was taken out of game, hence the delay releasing in the west.

    Any ideas on the length of the story? I know it's already been out in Japan for a while but I'm trying to look at as little info until I get to play it myself.

    45 - 70 hrs according to HLTB, which is similar to yakuza games if you do everything.

    "Buy for sure. A few dodgy stealth sections and missing some activities like Karaoke but the game is fun as hell"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,916 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    There is a character called Ass Catchum who goes around grabbing people's arses and you have to chase him down. Might just have to buy this on physical launch.



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,506 ✭✭✭✭Xenji


    Amazon have shipped my copy, should have it by Tuesday and may need to take a day or two off work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,122 ✭✭✭BeerWolf


    Phoenix Wright, non-Anime version.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,916 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Judgment is in Argos for 50 euro. The 2 closest ones to me don't have it in stock but you can order for the weekend ffs!

    I checked Gamestop website and its not available anywhere in Ireland, hope that's just a slow map update though. Anyone getting a physical copy today?

    I knew you would cave and get it :pac:

    Cruises st is a pain in the hole to get to for me. The Gamestop deliveries seemed to be late, most shops have copies now and i was able to trade a game to make up the price between them and Argos.

    Gonna put everything on the back burner now to play this.

    Edit: if you are asking someone in a shop for this, spell the name for them Judgment. They had been looking for Judgement and said no sign of it.

    Amazon still haven't shipped mine. I ordered it with a book, both are meant to be out today but the book doesn't shipping for a month so I cancelled that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,916 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    No day one patch, what kind of witchcraft is this?

    Only on chapter 1 but really liking it so far. Kamurocho is looking lovely, you only have to tap x once to sprint (no more holding it down) and you don't seem to get tired.

    Tailing sucks bit I've seen abilities you can unlock to make that easier/faster. Actually i can already see a ton of abilities that i want to unlock, gonna be hard to decide how to level up.

    Biggest gripe so far is the minimap. It's static and you can't seem to be able to change it to rotation like the Yakuza games. Very strange that they'd leave that option now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,388 ✭✭✭Cina


    I loved Yakuza 0, so I got Kiwumi and found it very samey and boring after doing 50 hours of 0.

    I assume this is more of the same and as such the same thing will happen?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,916 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Patch 1.05 released today. Fixes a crash people were getting if they played certain mini games before the game fully installed. Also added a detective package of items like the Yakuza games did with every patch. Always liked that, nice touch.

    Cina, I played Kiwami 1 after 0 as well and felt the same. Good game but I definitely felt the burn. I ended up just blowing through the main missions, no side stuff and quite enjoyed it. I then played Yakuza 6 which I loved, different, more relaxing pace and location compared to 0 and 1. Played Kiwami 2 after that and again felt the burn but it was definitely a better game than 1.

    As for this, I haven't unlocked any side stuff yet but it's familiar yet fresh. The world, controls, combat, all feel right at home but it's nice not being a gruff Yakuza for a change and the detective side (looking for clues at a crime scene, asking the right questions, etc) is really interesting. No idea if I'm gonna feel any burn as it's too early for me but definitely like what I've seen so far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 591 ✭✭✭Sieghardt


    Despite being a huge SEGA fan my whole life, I've never even heard of Motor Raid, one of the arcade games, really cool to play a SEGA game from that ERA that's new to me and I'd really love to see more obscure arcade ports as minigames in the series. Give me SCUD RACE!

    I'm near the end of chapter 2 i think but finding it hard to focus on it. I....I don't think I'm enjoying it and i don't know why. Finished a long tailing mission, put on a different game, put back on judgment anther night and it/I had never saved. I couldn't go through the tailing mission again so turned it off. Think I'll need to push through the early chapter missions maybe.

    The tailing missions seem to have been a point of criticism in nearly every review I read of it. Had planned to pick this up for a week off I have but something was just not ticking with me in what I saw of it - ended up getting Odyssey, FC New Dawn and Stellaris instead for the same price. Shame this doesn’t sound too exciting, will play it at some stage but probably not until a price drop later in year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 228 ✭✭hellsing101


    The tailing missions are very tedious, luckily enough they don't come up too much during the game. Im about 50% through and while im enjoying the game the story isnt as compelling as some of the Yakuza games. The side missions and friend missions are fun though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,230 ✭✭✭Gyan84


    Finished this a few days ago and enjoyed it. Overall I'd give it an 8/10 with the main story being a 9 and the side cases being a 7.

    The side cases have a few good ones with similar humor to the other yakuza games but are way, way too reliant on boring tailing missions and generic accept case > go to location > watch cut scene > report case to pad out their length.

    The frequency of the tailing segments is also just bizarre. There was one sidecase where I just needed to talk to a guy but for some reason Yagami decides to tail him until he's alone. He walks to the end of the street to an empty car park but that doesn't count so it continues until he reaches an alley on the other side of the map :rolleyes:

    The main story starts off slow but by chapter 4 it picks up and only gets better. It doesn't suffer as much from the tailing missions apart from one near the end that is insanely long because the character just walks in circles for ten minutes.

    The game does a good job of developing the side characters though. In the other games I usually only care about Kiryu and Majima but here everyone important.

    I'd prefer a traditional yakuza game but would definitely play a sequel. Also the game has a distinct lack of karaoke :pac:

    This is on sale at the moment, 38 on the store, worth it at that price?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,916 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    This is on sale at the moment, 38 on the store, worth it at that price?

    I ended up trading it to GS (42 credit). I just couldn't get into it at all. Not sure if it was too familiar, tailing missions, boring main character or if i just missed hearing someone scream KIRRRYYYUUUUUUU

    I might pick it up again down the line as i don't think i gave it a proper chance bit i wasn't enjoying it :(
