Can we all talk about the way English dub Hayashi says motherfucker in this cutscene?

Can we all talk about the way English dub Hayashi says motherfucker in this cutscene?

"GO! Kill this arrogant muh-ther-fuc-ker!"

The fact he has the same voice actor as Decoy Octopus makes it even better.

Also, I guess this is what happens when SEGA doesn't give two flying fucks about spending a few extra bucks to re-lipsync the dialogue to match the English voices.

Name a character who had better development than the inventory system. I'll wait.

The thing went from having only 20 item slots in the PS3 games to Yakuza 6 & Kiwami 2 letting you carry 5 full shops worth of items.

To the Hawaiian fans on here, how'd you all react upon seeing ABC Stores & Waikiki Trolley in the more recent games?

I believe SEGA partnered up with Waikiki Trolley to promote Pirate Yakuza.

I love how Akiyama, Kiryu & Tanimura's final boss dynamic intros in Yakuza 4 feature the characters flying through the air whereas Saejima's is just headbutt.

Me after hearing people say that Yakuza is going through a downfall cuz of 1 bad game for the millionth time:

Yeah, Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties were bad cuz of them being unfinished, the bad retcons & Hamazaki's actor sticking his hands in places they shouldn't be in, but a slight bump in the road isn't enough to make the wheels go flying off.

The Japan PS3-exclusive Yakuza multiplayer DLC for Binary Domain is still the closest we've gotten to officially seeing a shirtless Akiyama.

ICYDK: The Japanese PS3 version of Binary Domain got a multiplayer DLC pack that added the Dead Souls versions of Kiryu, Majima, Akiyama & Ryuji as playable characters.

Ngl, Akiyama's body is perfect. Especially when he's wearing Russian military gear.

What are some of the less talked about instances of RGG asset reuse have you noticed?

The breaker job in Yakuza: Like A Dragon & Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth reuses about 80% of Majima's breaker animations from Yakuza 0.

The board room meeting area in LAD's business management is just a reskin of the area in that Judgment side case where you have to open a safe.

In Binary Domain, two of the set pieces are just a reskinned Stardust & Purgatory and one of the characters reuses that Yakuza substory animation where they hold their face in shame.

Not an RGG game, but the Sonic 3 Tokyo DLC for Shadow Generations is mostly made up of reused Yakuza 5, 6 & Kiwami 2 assets.

This year marks 8 years since RGG introduced their iconic current logo.

It made it's debut with the western release of Yakuza Kiwami 2 on August 28th, 2018.

Let that sink in.

Which one are you?

I included the games that RGG made when they were called Amusement Vision & I excluded Virtua Fighter cuz I only wanted to include IPs that were actually created by them. I also excluded Stranger Than Heaven since it's not out yet.

Also, the inclusion of Yakuza/Like A Dragon on here also includes the Judgment & Kurohyou games since they're all connected.

Yakuza brawler combat fans when the combat forces them to use actual skill instead of letting them do endless spamming or juggling:

Though, Yakuza 3 did lean way to far in the skill direction to the point where the early game combat just became outright annoying with thon hard & legend with the constant blocking and Kiryu having piss all ways to do decent damage.

I think Yakuza 4 is the best game in the series when it comes to striking a balance between accessibility & skill though.

Not ashamed to admit that I have this Yakuza 0 Xbox achievement in both the vanilla & Director's Cut.

Yeah, I'm a lonely, dirty & horny 26 year old male bastard. How can you tell?

Also, I've just noticed that the Director's Cut uses a slightly different achievement icon & the description was changed from "Watch a racy video" to "Watch a sexy video".

Do you all agree that Shimano was just a plain, old, horrible piece of shit?

I'd say yes because he was one of the people who knowingly set Saejima up, he screwed over the Sasai family, he tortured Majima for a whole year and he relentlessly bullied, harassed & manipulated Nishiki, which led to his mental downfall.

Thank god Kiryu beats the shit out of him twice.

I now can't unnotice just how much Kume from Yakuza LAD looks like the Japanese version of that chud from that Ring doorbell video that's been going around.

Just give him some specs & thicker Millhouse eyebrows.

Do you all listen to Yakuza music when doing daily activities?

I do as I was listening to "Koi No Disco Queen" when brushing my teeth earlier since you're supposed to spend at least 2 minutes brushing & the song is 2 minutes & 1 second long.

It's also an absolute banger too.

Yakuza 2 Kazuya Amon be looking like a generic thug enemy from one of the 2000s Activision Spider-Man games compared to how he looks in later games.
