And people say that SOUL is a meme when it in fact is a very real thing. I hated Yakuza Kiwami but the original is damn near perfect.
Play Yakuza Kiwami

What was better with the original compared to Kiwami? Kiwami is literally a straight up upgrade with the combat, graphics, and side missions.
That's not soul, that's better pacing and animation.
Yeah, but Kiwami lacks soul.
More =/= better. Kiwami starts you off on the wrong foot with that awful flashback sequence to get Yumi's ring.
Majima everywhere is total ass
The extra content that got forced into the main story does hurt it from being out of place desu
>go from kiwami to the original
>he thinks its amazing
The original game is so insanely clunky if you compare it to kiwami that I refuse to believe this. The only thing it has over kiwami is superior pacing and storytelling because it's not interrupted by extraneous shit and majima everywhere.
Both are among the worst Yakuza games in my eyes, but I'd still rather play Kiwami.
How are the mechanics clunky exactly? I am not baiting when I say that I went from Kiwami to the original. I think the combat is just fine. The only thing that can be mildly annoying is the camera, but you get used to it.
no superior dub
>complaining about muh clunkiness
Couldn’t expose yourself as a zoomer faggot harder than that
Yakuza 0 finally got me into the series. Kiwami almost got me back out.
poor man's shenmue
Kiwami has:
Boss health regeneration
Boss AI that spams dodge, only attacks to punish
Kiryu is knocked down by any attack
Majima everywhere gets out of control quick
Awkward disparity between graphics and cutscene animations
No clunkiness ever was an issue to any game, you’re just using a buzzword here to fit in.
He’s an underage faggot, definitely doesn’t know what he’s talking about
>Those random guys who shout "Come on fucker"
>When the fat guys say it they use the exact same clip slowed down
Also Date sounding like goofy was hilarious
I bet you think Onimusha is bad and the analog control option was a good thing you fag.
You forgot your reaction image OP.
trash, avoiding confrontations is a pain in he ass in kiwami.
in the ps2 title its almost unavoidable.
>Also Date sounding like goofy was hilarious
I still say NAYSHIKI whenever I see Date in the game, it stuck forever
also lass boss music is so much better in kiwami
>Majima everywhere gets out of control quick
no it doesnt, at best you have to hunt him
i had to postpone beating thr game so i could have max rank on the achievement or whatever it was
They ruined the combat in 0, Kiwami all the newer ones. Yakuza didn't have the best combat ever, but it presented a FAIR challenge not "Lol hard difficulty? Well we're too faggoty and lazy to make the AI smarter, lets just have Majima regain health if you do well against him" Original Yakuza did not do lazy cop out bullshit like they developers should be literally fired for
The camera and the combat specifically
>Clunkiness isn't a problem
Of course it is. Kiryu is heavy and difficult to control in combat and his fighting style is very simple in comparison to Kiwami which gives you so many toys to play around with during battle. You have almost no capability to attack in other directions - you attack ONCE with a punch or kick (which you have to unlock) to the side and that's it, Kiryu is very static. Not only that, it does that dumb shit where it logs you button presses so if you press square, square, square, you'll be locked into the combo and unable to cancel out of it even if you mash other buttons. Very big problem when enemies dodge your first hit so you're stuck doing a combo on the fucking air in front of you.
I love Onimusha actually, I only recently played through warlords when it came to steam but 3 will always be my favourite
It adds unnecessary baggage to an otherwise amazing introduction to a really good series. Majima Everywhere was funny at first, but becomes bloated and just downright annoying before long. But for me, the worst aspect of the remake was how they mutilated Kiryu's original style, just to shoehorn in the 3 garbage styles he used in Zero. They turned the legendary style, that he starts with in the original first game, into a goddamn gimmick like they did in Zero. With Zero, they throw it in as a secret style that you have to sink hours into maxing out after you beat the game, then never actually explain when or how he learns it canonically from the hobo master. And just when you think they're going to, they skip it, then rehash it as a broken style after the prison timeskip? Dumb. Kiwami was a mistake.
Kiwami gameplay was much better. The OG fucking sucks there and the load times.
I like the dub.
Faggot nostalgiacucks
yakuza kiwami was good in fact lot of stuff to keep you entertained.
>lets just have Majima regain health if you do well against him
do you know how to use the kiwami?
Tiger drop is broken.
Good for you, OP, it's not as bad as people say it is, although I do like Kiwami myself. If you ask me, the original 2 shits all over Kiwami 2 as well, even in terms of combat. I didn't really like the Dragon Engine combat until Judgment.
Same. Then I played Kiwami 2 and I will never touch the series again.
Any Boomer here who played 0 after Yakuza 1?
Knowing Sera better and fighting him
Fighting Kashiwagi
Fighting Nishki before his downfall and knowing him better.
Yakuza 3’s combat gets a lot of deserved hate but it balancing tiger drop by making it really hard to avoid tanking damage was a decent step towards balancing it. It’s still too strong but you’ll slowly whittle yourself down to nothin if spammed.
tfw no Mark Hamill as Majima ever again
new game bad
speaking of.
Playing Yakuza 3 right now
Unlocking Tiger Drop!
FUCK YEAH RIP Half of Enemy Health Bar
Do Tiger Drop
It does Shit Damage
NANI?!
Do you guys think they are they going to dub yakuza 7 because of the mostly new cast
Receive You on acquiring 4th style
>FUMA OYABOON!
>HEY YOU!
>DON'T BE TALKING THAT SHIT UNLESS YOU CAN BACK THAT SHIT UP!
Every time a character emphasized the word "fuck" it would put a smile on my face
Also this entire scene with the back alley boys
>yakuza 0 and kiwami dirt cheap on pc
>but kiwami 2 still over €20
nani?
Thank god, he literally has 1 voice.
Damage in general is really low in yakuza 3 before you get the equips that boost you for doing a low health build. I dont really mind it too much compared to the future games that let you increase your attack to the point of ending bosses in a minute. Some of the bosses will feel like sponges though.
I would love that, just for how dumb it would hopefuly end up being. But with how Sega operates, they'd rather save the money because Yakoozer fans are going to eat it up and just be glad it got ported at all
they dubbed Judgment and its not even a Multiplat for wider Audience.
I don't think the PC port of Kiwami 2 is even a year old yet.
Oh yeah the Low Health Buffs.
I like that in this game series.
In other Game franchises only the Bosses gets a Buff/New Skill in Crit Situations.
