Yakuza 0 Director’s cut has English dub

English dub

lmfao

Yakuza

dub

Do people really?
I've heard eng karaoke songs and almost all of them use auto-tune.

YOOOOOOOOONG YEAH

Snaked Sony for Microsoft

Now they’re snaking Microsoft for Nintendo

Has RGG gone too far?

I always thought that Nagoshi has a grudge against Nintendo because one of the bosses is Tendo who looks like Warrio

RGG went too far when they decided it was a good idea to make e-celebs and lolsorandumb humor the face of their series as well as milk characters forever rather than give them satisfying arcs.

The fuck is Yokoyama smoking?

definitive edition

Just what i want in my japanese video game, set in real life japanese locations, starring japanese characters, heavily influenced by 1970s japanese yakuza movies.... AMERICAN AND/OR BRITISH VOICES

yakuza deal finally ends on game pass

announce this for switch

okay

kys 0fag

Still no fps boost for Kiwami 2

JUST

Guarantee you didn’t say a damn thing when Chernobyl did it

Here’s the thing, Japanese is an objectively inferior language.

NYAAAAAAAHHH ONIII CHAAAAN!

Fucking SEGA man for every good thing they do they gotta fuck up another 10

this proves that western culture is more superior

Yong Yay is in it

I will now buy your game.

CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER

Brawler Kiryu, duh

Snaked Sony for Microsoft

No, RGG was just one of the last Japanese devs to realize that Sony wasn't doing anything positive for them anymore, and realized it was time to go multiplat. They were just quietly putting away at porting some games to PC when MS offered to fund PC and Xbox ports for a while if they put them on Gamepass.
RGG didn't snake Sony, they just finally realized that Sony was snaking them by doing essentially nothing to promote games that weren't modeled off of TLOU.

MEEEEEOOW BIIIIG BROTHER

Ok, that's better?

as well as milk characters forever rather than give them satisfying arcs.

So when was that? 2010? Pretty much every game since 2 has tried to end Kiryu's story.

let it all hang out

Don't mind if I do

4 gave you new protagonists, and ended with Kiryu taking responsibility for the Tojo Clan and helping to guide it into better days... only for the next game to send him in a completely different direction so he could still be playable. The only present day Kiryu games post-3 that didn't really try to give him an ending were 5 with the cliffhanger, and 7G for obvious reasons.

I just started playing this for the first time a couple days ago. Absolute kino game. Is the whole series worth playing as well?

Sure if you don't get burned out

Yeah, but pace yourself. Take a month or two between games to refresh yourself.

That's open-ended enough to leave him as an NPC with another Morning Glory plot thread. Regardless, it's everyone that doesn't instantly die, not just him. 6 culled or wrapped up a lot of characters conclusively, only for them to follow up with a bunch of dick teasing and non-sensical cliffhangers. While the problem has existed for a long time, the past and present aren't comparable in severity.

Yes

lmao can't wait for the 0fags to piss and shit their pants trying to do the mental gymnastics on how 0 is still the best place to start the series but why this version "ruins the soul" or some other nonsense

Legend Kiryu aka DoD Kiryu, dunno about the rest of locked character except there's Mad Dog Majima

I doubt anything like that will happen, but the additions to this version are so minuscule that people will just tell you to get OG Zero for cheaper instead, unless Sega just never puts a discount on it again so you'll buy the DC instead.

Need more Kiryu and Majima to turn this into a Dragonball roster. Need to add Pocket Racer, too

Am I blind, or are there no trainers? I want to play as Bacchus, god damn it.

wasted time and money for the english dub

really?

Not enough Kiryu/10

you realize this is the same game as 0 right? it will have the same ending. sounds like youre the one who needs to dilate.

No Daryl Kurylo as Kiryu

No Mark Hammill as Majima

Pass.

siegedrake.jpg - 700x602, 65.07K

No Bacchus, from the silhoutte all i can guess is it might be Kiwami nishiki, Garry Buster Holmes, and both Kiryu and Majima with Legend Style. Also they done shibusawa dirty by not separating him into 3 variants, gonna bet he's locked either in his brawler or rush variant

Hammil's busy charging the price of a Switch 2 for a scribble on a piece of paper.

Director's Cut but with no Nagoshi anymore at RGG.

implying people care about it

Maybe Kazuki Hosokawa went back to RGG for this now that we know Nagoshi Studio is getting flushed down the chink toilet.

the cope has already begun

you love to see it

He's right though
Shitch isn't the only platform to play Yakuza 0, and the story is still the same, just with optional faggy dub

It's the same as it is on PC, the only difference is you hear YONG OUT if you play the shitty dub

Don't worry, Sega is swimming in money now with how much they saved by moving the production of most of their physical releases exclusively to Limited Run

this:implies that there is new exclusive story content

based on that as well as the previously accepted claim that 0 is the definitive best entry point for newcomers to the series, are you or are you not going to admit that the switch 2 version is now the new definitive starting point?

The Dragon of Kojima...

Just realized this is gonna come back lol wonder if Ichi's English va will also voice Nishiki

YongYea gets to leech off easy money from Yakuza 0's popularity as Kiryu while everyone still uses JP audio

Why does the english on this game sound so weird and unnatural? Even though the hawaii characters are supposed to be native speakers they sound really odd.

file.png - 480x270, 209.68K

This is gonna be the best vacation ever!

yakuza 0 isn't the best entry point i-it's yakuza 0!!! (with 5 more cutscenes with nishiki!)

Listen to yourself. Nishiki is still going to die. nothing changes by adding a couple cutscenes

You already know what time it is!

The game isn't even out, faggot. We don't know what new story content that's added to the game
And your logic is also retarded. If the "director's cut" turned out to be shit, people will just recommend to play the vanilla version. It's much easier to do that than recommend people to play PS2 Yakuza 1 and 2 over Kiwami 1 and 2

retards still think this is a switch 2 exclusive

It is objectively the best version of the game, yes.

It's weird that they didn't just reuse the dub actors speaking lines for the parts where the characters are actually speaking English. Instead you've got a bunch of guys who've supposedly been speaking English since birth talking like an ESL because they're voiced by a Japanese guy that barely knows English.

Yakuza 0

English dub

Switch

Lmao they're not even hiding it at this point. It's pretty much like they're saying "we're embracing the secondary Westoid audience."
I fucking hate nu-kuza so much.

nice PS3 game

it is a nice ps3 game i agree

Director's Cut

does this mean it'll be less than 80% cutscenes? how the hell is this series so popular

Believe it or not, that's what the Japanese audience likes. A huge number of Japanese people kinda sorta understand English, but only if it's constrained to the Japanese inventory of sounds. If you speak English with all the extra sounds it doesn't share with Japanese, they'll have a harder time understanding you than if you put on what sounds like a derogatory racist accent.

Here’s the thing, the Japanese are stupid and don’t know what good writing or directing is.

I'd get it but I know I'm getting fucked on every qte just like with Kiwami on the regular switch.

is this going to be $80 too? for a 10 year old game?

There are native Japanese actors who speak completely flawless English who are nonetheless instructed to speak Nihonglish instead, just because people prefer that. Just about the only people they have speaking perfect English are the white guys they hire to play a character intentionally speaking English in a way that's meant to be unintelligible to the Japanese ear for effect.

They were meant to understand Bryce, so they had a JP voice actor deliver his lines that way for clarity. But they weren't meant to understand Andre in Yakuza 3, so he was voiced by a real white guy.
That's the way it works. And yes, that's their school system's fault for literally Peggy Hilling their entire country in terms of general English education despite its utility and ubiquity.

it has online mode and new cutscene so pay me eighty dorrar you gaijin scum!

RGG was just one of the last Japanese devs to realize that Sony wasn't doing anything positive for them anymore, and realized it was time to go multiplat

What? They literally only created the Remasters because of how high 0, K1, 6, and K2 sold in the west because of the PS4. That entire interview Yokoyama does where he talks about how they "first realized the series was big was when it released on PC" directly contradicts everything they were doing once 0 exploded on PS4 and even interviews they gave talking about how the brand new influx of players was the reason for the 3-5 Remasters.

The reality is that they decided to gamble on a port for PC (Which is why only 0 was done for an entire year) and it turns out people on PC wanted the series that for the past two years has been highly talked about by the Playstation side of gaming. Then they finally started slowly porting K1 and K2 with Microsoft specifically paying for funding to get stuff like 7 released on Xbox at all and did all the advertising for it.

You can even see that what Yokoyama says isn't true because they even demo the games with Playstation controls in footage that is not paid for by Microsoft or Nintendo. The RGG Summits even use Playstation controls in their footage showing that they still consider Playstation their "main" system.

Tendies will gleefully pay for it. Wait a second, I remember a substory about this...

Shill

He earned Kiryu!

god why did this series have to be done by the japs first
imagine a game like yakuza with a western budget and western writing
it would be soooooo fucking peak

People keep saying this, but I honestly don't think Saejima, Akiyama and the cop could have carried any sequels on their own. You can easily tell due to how they were treated in Y5. Saejima's overall journey in Y5 was basically a rehash of Y4. Akiyama, after losing all his money in Y4, is right back to being a rich as fuck money lender in Y5. When you have to undo everything that happened in the previous story and put them back to square run, then that alone proves that you didn't actually think anything through the first time around.

Ultimately, both Saejima and Akiyama were designed only with Y4 in mind. No thought was put into how they might be able to carry the series going forward.

Hamills majima was always overrated as fuck and sounded lile absolute shit even compared to tge random mooks in the same dub.
I agree on Darryl though. Especially considering pe9ple have campaigned to return him in 7 only for him to be YONG'D in 8.

I felt Tanimura had some potential for some interesting stories since he's a cop. With how crime ridden Kamurocho is, you can easily have a new story/plotline that isn't "The Tojo is in trouble! Quick, get Kiryu!" I mean, that's what they kinda did with the Judgment series.

I am curious on that Project Century. I'm guessing that's probably about the Tojo founding or early days.

SoC was literally developed with English as the primary language, lol

I guarantee western writers would have the balls to keep the characters that they kill off dead. How many resurrections have we had now?
