Just bought this game based on the title alone. I love mafia and criminal stories...

I think you're trying to phrase this as a bad thing, but so far all it's doing is making me want to play the game more.

He asked if it's "accurate to the Japan's criminal underworld". It is not.
Does it make it bad? Not at all.

I still don't like this Yakuza because I hate jrpg "combat"

Possibly the most realistic Yakuza simulation ever

Yeah, it's so much less involved.

>How accurate is this game to the Japan's criminal underworld?
>An area of Japan is controlled by a single Yakuza family, and mafia groups consisting of two non-Japanese races
>After having their most successful business/counterfeiting operation burned to the ground, a Chinese mafia boss has the group tied with chains, with a table full of torture items...then he just leaves after recording video evidence of himself with the group. He later orders two random rival gang members to be shot dead in front of the public, but shooting the team in a secured underground area was never a consideration.
>Taking on a backhoe
100% accurate.

Dude, you can like putting dragon dildoes up your ass, I'm not stopping you.
I hate JRPG shit, it's a slog to play, special moves look ridiculous, summon system is stupid and characters wearing stupid clothes is jarring.

realer than real life

its very realistic depiction of mafia world in japan

A bottom tier Yakuza member is left for dead, and becomes homeless in a system designed to keep the poor and non-connected from getting jobs (just like in America) he goes on to run the biggest corporation (He's the face of the company in commercials) in Japan. Yet he also remains a complete unknown that beats up gang members all day.

>it's a slog to play
Literally makes for faster battles than the old system.
>special moves look ridiculous
Heat moves have been wacky for a decade.
>summon system is stupid
You never have to use it and you benefit from ignoring it. You can also skip the animation if you feel you need it.
>and characters wearing stupid clothes is jarring
This is a series where the protagonist adopts a chicken named Nugget he won in a bowling alley and has it manage real estate, and you're mad that the (optional) jobs have funny outfits?

>Literally makes for faster battles than the old system.
Doesn't mean that they are less boring to me.

>Heat moves have been wacky for a decade.
Not "running down the building"-tier or "stabbing a dude with a sword and letting a fucking lightning hit it so enemy would fry"-tier wacky.

>This is a series where the protagonist adopts a chicken named Nugget he won in a bowling alley and has it manage real estate
In a fucking side content. There always has been a distinction between main story content with more serious tone and silly stuff in side quests.

Yakuza 7 is not Yakuza. You can enjoy it, I don't give a shit, but it's not Yakuza.

Let me guess. You're a pctard?

No, I've been buying Sony's paperweights solely for Yakuza games for years. Barely played anything else on them.
What does it have to do with anything?

I dislike turn-based combat but from what I've seen it's about just as good as the other Yakuza games in all other aspects. I think I'll buy it after Sega decided to port 3-6 to PC.

Somebody else has problems streaming this game?
On discord it runs like shit on OBS it doesn't even capture aside from the mouse coursor.
Really just for my bros to watch, I don't want to be the next twitch star.

>There always has been a distinction between main story content with more serious tone and silly stuff in side quests.
Rubber Bullets destroyed this distinction long time ago

>Doesn't mean that they are less boring to me.
It's the same shit as every other game but more complex. You are still mashing square and triangle. You don't get to call it boring when you haven't played it.

>Not "running down the building"-tier or "stabbing a dude with a sword and letting a fucking lightning hit it so enemy would fry"-tier wacky.
Those are late game huge mp cost moves whose animations you can skip. Also Kiryu shot down helicopters and shit but whatever.

>In a fucking side content. There always has been a distinction between main story content with more serious tone and silly stuff in side quests.
Every single job except the defaults are optional side content, and the default jobs have the characters wearing-- wait for it-- normal clothes. You would know this if you actually played the game.

Your argument is paper thin.

Sega are mega autistic about spoilers because they don't seem to realize that youtube exists.

>There always has been a distinction between main story content with more serious tone and silly stuff in side quests.

The main story of Yakuza 1 takes you to the homeless society which takes you to the underground sex city which takes you to the cyber security hub.
Yakuza 2 has a palace rise from the fucking ground and Kiryu punches fucking tigers in the face.
Yakuza 3 has ANDRE RICHARDSON.

Shut the fuck up.

>How accurate is this game to the Japan's criminal underworld?
100%. Everything in this game is based on actual events/crimes committed by actual Yakuza members. Yes, even the gang of baby fetishists

>You can enjoy it! I don't care!
>That's why I'm going to make several angry responses reaffirming to myself I'm correct, I don't care, really!
you're an npc
you are a parody character
you exist to make actual people with thoughts laugh and you do your job well

watched some of the game out of curiosity and made me actually want to get into the series. how does it fair compared to 0? bro just lended me 0-6 with fist of the norf star and judgement

I've played the demo and didn't enjoy that combat.
Shooting down helicopters is not equal to KH-like cutscenes.
Again, Nugget is never brought up in the main story. Stupid costumes appear in every battle. Not only on party members, but all of enemies look like caricatures.

Stupid doesn't mean silly and wacky.
There's a difference between fighting a tiger and hiring a chicken as a manager.

the gameplay is great
betee than spam square then pres triangle to awesome and pause the game entirely ruining the flow of combat top heal

>Palace rising from the ground is not wacky
>Secret Koreans didn't get wacky
>YAKUZA 3 IS NOT WACKY
Shut the absolute fuck up.

I love Ichiban. Has a personality unlike flawless Kiryu the untouchable killing machine.

>Ad hominem

I don't know if you just completely missed the part where a bunch of people jumped down his throat telling him he's wrong for not liking the game but either way this post is extremely ironic.

>menu navigation combat is considered better than having direct control over your character
cringe, last thing we need is more turn based shit

enemies actually attack now instead of standing around which is ironic

0 is the best standalone game because it's competent and compact, polished from many prior iterations.
7 is rougher and longer, but it's unique and also mostly self-contained. I would personally save it for when you're burnt out on beat em up, because the gameplay and Yokohama are a good shakeup.

Everytime you see an Italian you tell them that they support and idealize their mafia, and it's a bad thing.

No one say this often to the Japanese, because they reached a point of denial and idealization that cover up their crimes with shit and giggles

>the part where a bunch of people jumped down his throat telling him he's wrong for not liking the game
The part that didn't happen?
An user pointed out that mocking the gameplay is silly because it's pretty fucking similar anyway, arguably more engaging. Then he made a fucking ass of himself and people pointed out his other statements were retarded.

I love boomer Persona.

>menus are inherently bad
>me no like reading ook ook
Cringe fucking normalfag over here. We didn't have your kind back in the day. Video games are a nerd hobby.

Just FYI, once you get to chapter 12 youre gonna need to Grind a good bit. I just went into a boss battle (mind you the previous enemies were a cake walk) and spent 10 minutes just healing and not being able to attack before dying. The game doesn't do dificility spiking very well

Having to actually engage with the enemies, having more than five kinds of enemies, and not being stuck waiting for enemies you've encountered a million times to just die already (because the level system means you stomp them) is great.

But he didn't mock the gameplay, he literally said he doesn't like it and it's fine if other people do. Then he was told he should like it for reasons x y and z and he explained why he doesn't. I don't know why this makes you so mad.
