AndyKurosaki Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Certainly glad it’s cross gen, as a PS5 isn’t on the agenda just yet. Hopefully they’ll scale back the “follow a person for ages without being seen” sections, as that’s just massively tedious. Especially when you have two back to back, leading to almost 10 minutes of the bloody thing. I’ll just be glad if the combat isn’t anything similar to Like A Dragon. The switch to RPG mechanics ruined that game for me. And I absolutely do not want to see it return ever again. Some people liked it, and fair enough. I drastically didn’t, and I’d rather they kept it as a one-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Excited for this, I enjoyed the Story of the First though it did hit while I was suffering Yakuza Burnout. So excited to play a second title and put a bit more time into it. I also see they have confirmed Yakuza is sticking with turn based, which I am in 2 minds about, While it makes sence to have 2 different franchises covering different genres , Im slightly disapointed that Yakuza is going the RPG route and Judgmenent sticking with the Yakuza mechanics, given that I was a Yakuza fan fromDay 1 ( yeah I know im so hipster) feel like a bit of a kick in the teeth, but also get that it makes sense after the franchise reboot and new characters. Guess Judgement may become my new favorite, cant see myself abandoning Yakuza as I did enjoy the story in Like a Dragon, but I just felt detached from it, felt more intimate smashing through hordes as one of the sol protagonists. Maybe Sega need to make more franchises in the series, afterall there is plenty of characters from the Yakuza franchise they could use. Hell Bring Kiryu back in his new civilian life arc, where I can be a Taxi Driver, or a Samurai Farmer ? Could even make a Sega Cinematic Universe which eventually comes together as the Sega Avengers. Just leave that wanky blue hedgehog out of it. Going back to the trailer though, think looks like its shaping up too be a good story again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfnick Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 ? I actually played 1 and 2 on PS2 and played 3 on PS3. Then stopped for some reason. Like a Dragon brought me back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Where did it say they’re making Yakuza stick to turn based? As I’ve only one word for that: Fuck. It ruined Like A Dragon for me. The heat combat of the previous games is just so much better. I cannot be arsed with grinding RPG style, it’s a total chore. If that’s true, they’re going to ruin my favourite franchise. Fucks sake.

AndyKurosaki Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Well that absolutely sucks. I’ve nothing against changing things up. But the Heat combat was absolutely perfect. Like A Dragon is the only one I’ve never finished, and won’t go back to. So that is just awful news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 I think it is actually quite clever keeping the Turn-Based Combat for Yakuza going forward but reserving the action combat for the Judgement series. It creates a clear differentiation between the two series. With Ichiban’s character it would be pretty weird if they abandoned the Turn-Based Combat now, it’s a part of his character, being into Dragon Quest etc. It’s the way he ‘sees’ battles play out in his mind. It’s kind of weird a lot of RPGs are stepping away from turn-based systems and RGG Studio are doing the opposite lol. It sucks for you guys who didn’t enjoy it though ? and I feel for you.
