Wasn't planning on importing Y6 but I am now.

Nakamura missed being in Yakuza 6 by a few months
So close and yet so far.

Absolutely amazing.
That main theme is fantastic. Tatsuro hasn't lost his step.

noice OP

LA LA LA LA LA LA LAAAAAAA LA LA

Damn. 0 is so far away...

Four months.
We've been waiting for years, we can make it.
Right?

You're right.

favorite end boss fight? it still goes to 2 for me, that ending theme is so good. if it was remade it'd probably be the best boss fight in the series for me, up there with kiwami's and 3's. 3 isn't as cool in terms of plot though since mine was a shit character

Just let Kiryu die already, god damn it.

just show me the Anri Okita scene
that's the only reason why this game is still noticable
>that's not what the game is
BULL-FUCKING-SHIT

Even if the drama is garbage like usual now hope the final fights are as good or better than 5, shit was dope

3 was god-tier in terms of gameplay/soundtrack, you right. I love 1's.
I hope so.

The first boss fight in 0 is better than half the boss fights in 5 tbqh. And this you fight this guy a couple times.

>final fights are as good or better than 5
>"I have to beat you because of baseball and dreams"

I've seen this boss fight over 50 times and I still love that QTE.

And the man himself.

why is a general thread on Cred Forums instead of /vg/?

It's because it gets bumped down in 5 minutes in /vg/, a new batch of info came out because of TGS, and these threads rarely appear until release date for a new game comes near.

Y3
>secret twin CIA brother
Y4
>rubber bullets
Y5
>nobody knows how boss of Omi and his son look like
Y6
>secret Haruka's baby

The ride never ends.

Is this some DLC/Pre-order bonus bullshit, or are they just in the base game itself by default? Never played a Yakuza game before, but this would make me.

Nope. It's in there. There's always been little to no DLC for these games. Every game can easily take 100+ hours or more for a completionist.

Thank fuck. When's it coming out in the west?

I honestly did not see 6's twist coming. Like, what the fuck?

Did they actually have him do the motion capture for Kiryu this time? Kiryu is looking more like him now.

6 won't be coming here any time soon, if previous games are to go by. 0 is coming to the west in January, but it took 2 years after the initial release date. 5 took 3 years to come to the west.
Maybe.

I think he plays better in 5, however you get better sajima for worse akiyama.

Never got around to 5. Did it end up being worth it or should I just watch an LP and wait for Y6?

>Anri Okita in 6

I wonder how she found time, she's constantly busy with her work in China.

Yes, it's definitely worth it for the ridiculous story and fun gameplay. There a shitload of things to do in 5.

In terms of gameplay and variety, 5 is the best game in the series behind 0.

I dont know why 3 puts off so many people. It still has some of the best fights and soundtracks of the series. It even has subtitles for kareoke in english. Honestly the only peoplem I have with 3(and by extension 4 and deadsouls) is that its not fully 720p like 5, zero, and kiwami was on ps3.

>Harukas baby

>dat main theme

This really is the end.

Shit could fit into an 80s romance movie tbqh.

The beginning is REALLY slow

I've always wanted to get into these games how do i start??

>>We've gone through this journey together...but the wind has changed direction...and you are slowly drifting past me.

Why does Tatsuro gotta make us feel like this
Read the OP god damn it. That's what it's there for.

I've heard it's a japanese GTA. Where do I start?

3 new trailers fresh from TGS! Love the Ghost photos. Reminds me of Metal Gear lmao

Xperia Phone taking photos of ghosts!

Yakuza thread nice, how's dead souls ? I'm almost done with 5 and i've been thinking about picking it up.

HYPE

It would be a much better game if the framerate wasn't terrible

1st game ps2 and its not gta at all, the main characters can barely be called a criminal. Think of it as a open hub world where you can progress at the story when you want but its linear.

We don't have enough autists to keep these threads alive on /vg/.

The main theme for 6 is not an original song made for the game, FYI. But it's still great.

A pretty popular karaoke song. My dad used to sing it all the time.

youtube.com/watch?v=CnPeQgi9py4

>it was originally relased in 1988

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

How do I git gud as Shinada? Not a weapon user desu.

square triangle combo

that's it

tatsuro yamashita shiiit i hope downtown is in the game

MIDNIGHT SHADOW

KINI SAKU

AKUSERU

KISHI NO HIGHWAY CITY

I hope that before that, there is a sequence were Kiryu has to travel to an island on a hang glider (with bad controls), to look for a treasure that an old man told him about, after he impressed him with his karaoke skills.

>dat freeze frame

So good.

youtube.com/watch?v=0ti8tKjuByo

JOOOOOOODY

That QTE with Mine is still one of my favorites in the whole series. That moment of "wait what the fuck, how did I mess up!?" turning into unbelievable hype really got me going.

That Main Theme, though. Feels sad. I don't want Kiryu to die.

Fly is such a godlike final boss theme. My favorite alongside

youtube.com/watch?v=UONHPUcJsV0

Is there an actual english patch for this and Kenzan yet?

Holy shit. That fucking Combat video and Hiroshima looks so awesome. I need this game, can't wait until we may get a western reelase.

There is not. Only a guide on khhsubs.

>the game gets an english dub
>instead of Takeshi's Castle it's MXC

>combat
Its physics looks awkward honestly, these is no improvement from 5.
0 combat is smooth as fuck, I don't know why they went backward

They're the main antagonists of the Clan Warfare substory.

Shinada is based don't h8.

The problem with Shinada is that his story finished when he finished his chapter.

That's not even the twist.
Thats the hook.
The twist will be something like the baby is an alien

KASHIWAGI

I WILL AVENGE YOU

I just beat Yakuza 1 and I'm going to start two in a couple of weeks. What can I expect?

Not yet for both. I won't even try to make Ishin patch unless someone will agree to translate whole 100% game. Using pretty vague translation to replace text that you don't understand is a really painful task.

One of the best games. Ever. And the one of the best entries in the series for many people, including me

Kaoru best girl. She will be missed

I bet you were hoping for some yous

It is such a shame i never got to play Yakuza 1 and 2. Hopefully they will get PS4 releases at some point.

They should put em as ps2 classics on the store at least. Easy money sega. Easy money.

Shinada's okay but the reason for fighting his final boss was weird

We may get Kiwami for ps4 some day. It's a remake.

If 0 will sell well, they'll localize 1 remake and 6

Not sure about remake, but 6 will surely come out.
