it's ok when the japanese do it
Interactive movie
Logan Hill
Daniel Ward
The interactive moments are fun, it doesn't take itself too seriously, and there are lots of optional minigames so you can effectively set the pacing yourself
Leo Barnes
>Has actual gameplay
That's the difference
Isaiah Cooper
Maybe because it also has fuck load of gameplay to go with the fuck load of cutscenes it has? And gameplay is actually fun instead of being "press one button to advance story"
Michael Stewart

Love to see it. Good job guys.
Jack Cox
>has actual gameplay
>tons of side content
>really polished cutscenes
Lucas Nelson
>All the fights in the story missions
>Colosseum fights
>Playing chess / mahjong etc etc etc
>The Cabernet clubs / Clan building / real estate sub stories
bunch of other shit to minor to mention
How is it just a movie?
Oliver Jones
tfw want to play through all the games but 3 is incredibly fucking boring
Dominic Ortiz
>actual gameplay
do people really think yakuza has good gameplay?
Thomas Myers
have you actually played ANY yakuza game? the combat isn't good by any stretch of the imagination but calling it a moviegame is just pure bait
Gabriel Smith
Most important is that the movie sections are actually entertaining. Same reason why you don't see people shitting on MGS3 long ass cutscenes for example.
The problem with most movie games is that being "cinematic" is all they have going for, and can't even do that well
Jacob Morales
Yes? I'll admit there are allways 1-2 absolute garbage bosses in each game but every other part feels good to play.
Brayden Rogers
for me moviegames are shit where the movie part never stops, every part of the game goes for that cinematic feeling even to the detriment of gameplay
yakuza is literally just watch a long-ass cutscene, and then run around for a while beating people up and doing minigames and side stories, and then you go to the next plot location and watch a long-ass cutscene
Jonathan Howard
It's not a "set-piece action" style game like what movie games are associated with (TLOU, Uncharted, God of War, etc), and neither is it an interactive story game (Life is strange, Heavy Rain, Detroit: Become Human)
It may have LOTS of cutscenes, but that doesn't make it a movie game
Brayden Bailey
>gameplay is actually fun
Yeah spamming flashy heat moves is god tier combat, it's definitely not style over substance
Funny how you people shit on Batman all the time when Yakuza has one of the worst, most barebones, clunky, and unsatisfying combat systems in the entire industry
Ethan Wright
Easton Scott
>barebones
yes
>clunky
yes
>unsatisfying
absolutely not
Jose Mitchell
>M-Muh style over substance!
On the contrary user, sometimes style IS substance
Asher Rogers
Why do weebs defend shit games just because they are made in their precious discount china?
Logan Hall
Only played Yakuza 0 so far and had a fucking blast. Do the other games have sidequest where people ask for help on the dumbest shit possible?
Charles Perez
LOL
Thomas Sanchez
Yes. Yakuza Kiwami's sidequests are very boring since they were lifted straight from the first game, but the other ones have the same kind of wacky nonsense.
Jaxson Campbell
Yes
Brandon Torres
>absolutely not
Heat moves get old very quickly once you've seen all of them dozens of times, hitting a button to watch a flashy animation play is not satisfying
Jack Stewart
Yes, even the spinoffs like Judgment
Kayden King
>sometimes style IS substance
That's exactly something someone who would defend those movie games you hate so much would say
Angel Foster
What the fuck? Of course. If anything you should be complaining that there's so much gameplay that it's trying to be too many things at once.
Charles Moore
Yes, but the Kiwami games lift a majority of the substories from the original games which were primarily scam ones or filler with the occasional pretty good one. Both of them do have some more modern-written substories thrown in there though, it's not all just returning content so there's more of the serious ones and ridiculous ones scattered about.
Carson Cooper
I never said I hated movie games, user. Detroit Become Human is pretty fun and entertaining, but there's a unique difference between it and Yakuza
Carter Bennett
Dude did you know this game copied TLOU2? All the enemies have names so when you beat the everloving shit out of them you'll feel sorry about it, that's a Niel Druckmann invention!
Kevin Long
wrong, stomping someones face into the pavement literally never gets old
Easton Bailey
Name games that have better gameplay than Yakuza? Note that Yakuza is a beat'em up.
Josiah Martin
Wrecking absolute havoc on punks over and over is satisfying as fuck and never gets old unless you are sort of onions
Jason Flores
>localization never
why am I such an EOP
Cameron Adams
Sleeping Dogs
Thomas Taylor
