You're a great person Ray. Learning and choosing to grow for others' sake is about the most responsible thing any of us can do nowadays, so good on you.
59:50 Ray's reaction lmao 2:15:16 Ray is really good at guessing for these games lol 3:32:34 Ray, welcome to anime 4:17:14 Ray beats up kids 4:31:28 Ray is still traumatized 5:23:00 Ray beats up kid some more 7:35:29 most awkward shit ever
Kaito does have a point about the detective agency being famous they were instrumental in uncovering the super huge AD9 conspiracy and that *should* get them notoriety
I'd be shocked too if someone from the city haven't heard of it lol the whole AD9 debacle most definitely ended up on the news and it's not like yagami and kaito wouldn't get any credit since they and sugiura and everyone else helped with it
Ray saying it's almost been a year since he played like a dragon is insane to think about. My family and I had covid at that time and I was in my room almost 24/7 and I never saw any gameplay of Yakuza or knew much about it at all, but I watched rays streams live when I could and watched the YT videos all the way through and that got me hooked on the series which got me to binge watch his playthroughs of 0-6 within a month or 2 and then later judgment which got me to love the series having 7 be like a comfort game for me. Now here I am playing through Lost Judgment as my first ever Yakuza franchise game blindly and I am loving it! Thank you for the amazing playthroughs and for helping me escape the horrible time of having covid Ray
5:46:38 We may not have karaoke (what with Kimutaku being super expensive and Johnny's and Associates probably asking for a LOT more money to get him to sing), but at least we have this...
4:51:07 Wow, I was actually flabbergasted by this. They actually took the LIPS system (or at least parts) from Sakura Wars to use in this game. That's all around amazing.
Watching Ray get his shit rinsed by Espio was pretty funny honestly, with the knowledge Sonic the Fighters basically runs on difficulty spikes, and anything past Bark will basically rip your soul in half if you aren’t prepared for it.
7:20:35 first time I played this, I thought I had to go first person and see the letter over their shoulders, when I did, the letter is a blank piece of paper (on PS4 for context, don’t know if there’s actually something on the PS5 or the Series X) after I saw that, I was laughing my ass off
that's like most games though.. rarely is there ever legible writings on in game paper unless viewed from the inventory screen. Although i can see how it's funny.
I like how Ray can play this and realize that 1000 yen is roughly the same as 10$, but still gets amazed at the amount of money you get in Pokémon despite it being pretty much the same
I am SO excited to watch this and my favorite part already is when he turned off the blood and said, "Not in MY christian stream you don't!" I am so hyped to enjoy this with the rest of you frogs.
He was jamming out to it and remembering characters from the last game and called mafuyu a prosecutor then a lawyer only to realize they're the same thing lol along with him freaking out about pausing for yt and screaming. I do wish he kept it somehow but too bad yt has their jank copyright system 😕
Sooo... Professor + delinquents + Yokohama = Sujimon? possibly... I'm not sure, I've just started playing Like a Dragon the other day and it popped in my head
Don't really want to watch this one cuz I want to play this fucker myself on the 24th and not get too spoiled, I'm super hyped!! But still wanted to leave my support. You bet your ass I'm gonna come back and watch them as soon as I catch up though.
@@seka1nix A ton of useless characters that the game WASTES its time on (Baba mostly), terrible gameplay/story for Saejima and Shinada (although people argue that it's fun when you level up his weapons skills...weapons really aren't super fun except for heat moves in Yakuza games since you only have 1 button you can press and no combinations of that 1 button....also as someone who loved Baseball growing.....TOO MUCH GOD DAMN BASEBALL). He did like the parts with Kiryu and Haruka/Daddy Akiyama so he liked about 12 hours out of the 40 hour story lol
About the time when Lost Judgment takes place: The game multiple times states that it takes place about 6 months after the events of the first game, so everything going on is still pre-pandemic in the yakuza universe. Heck, the producers even stated once that when they make a Yakuza and/or Judgment Sequel that takes place post pandemic that it will have to adress it somehow, so it won't get ignored once it happens, whenever that is.
The game is 3 years after the first, there is specific dialogue that says 3 years. It's just been 6 months since Yagami/Sugiura have talked. I believe a side case involving a past character mentions it. Also the Tojo Clan is still around in the first, while they're disbanded in the second. The government cracking down on yakuza took much longer than 6 months.
Not to mention that in the beginning it says it's December 2021 so definitely in the pandemic times, it would be interesting to see how they would handle that besides having everyone wear masks and vaccinations which could nod to the first game!
Ray didn't realize you can go straight to the high school with the taxi by scrolling past it lol While also not realizing you can use the taxi from your phone lol. I was shocked how he paid the janitor 1,000 yen when he's clearly smoking and you can investigate the cigarette he's clearly hiding behind his back lmao. His arm is awkwardly behind as if he's hiding something. Ray Ray Ray you are so funny my man. I love all the yakuza videos and am a hardcore fan by perfecting each one but was so surprised how he missed these lol
I love Ray's Yakuza series and watched all of them, but I think I'm going to skip this one. The topic of bullying is giving me PTSD of my own past bullies. Love the contents Ray keep up the good work.
Am I the only one bothered by the fact that the two Judgment games are supposed to be 3 years apart, but the characters look exactly the same? I mean, in the other games it was pretty much the same, but they had at least a little change now and then. This time they are exactly the same, clothes and all. It's putting me off tbh.
three years isn't a long enough time for an adult to look significantly different, though. I would be bothered if they did look significantly different, including if their fashion changed. if the games were ten years apart, that would require some appearance changes, sure. maybe some more wrinkles and facial lines, maybe someone starts going grey early, etc. but three years isn't really a long enough time for that imo
@@sethescope I look completely different compared to 3 years ago. So much that on the last family gathering some aunts didn't recognize me. It's actually too much time to NOT have any changes, especially the clothes. Bc nowadays clothes that you wear on a daily basis won't last 3 years. But then again, it's a videogame and stuff like that doesn't really mean anything.
@@VanitasTheBest true, "it's a video game" applies to most things we find annoying about games lol but still, I can at least see your point I do disagree but it's because what you described hasn't been my experience overall. I say overall because, due to taking hormones because I'm trans and hopefully getting top surgery soon, I look pretty fucking different than I did three years ago lmao in my experience, once people hit their 30s, they've settled into themselves. they tend to know what clothes they like to wear and how they like to have their hair. so while, as you rightly said, the exact clothes might change, I do think the overall style wouldn't change much, if at all. I'm 30 and aside from two freaks who dare to be 25, everyone else in my immediate, closest circle is 29-31, so this is the trend I have personally seen. but like you said, it's a video game and video games only portray reality to the extent it's beneficial to the story or for gameplay mechanics, etc. it's like how Kiryu always wears the same suit in Kamurocho, aside from 0, iirc. his suit is iconic. realistically, he would probably change the color pallette as he gets older, but it's an iconic part of his character, it's part of what makes him recognizable. and his clothes change in 3, 4, and 6 to show he's in a different physical and mental place. he wears a Hawaiian dad shirt in Okinawa and ditches the jacket in Onomichi because he's Different ™️ in those places. basically, the clothes are an intentional choice and if it's not realistic, it's not supposed to mimic reality because clothes often serve a symbolic purpose in games, movies, etc thank you for coming to my ted talk about visual symbolism in the Yakuza franchise
@@sethescope that's true, clothes often serve a symbolic purpose. Like in Kingdom Hearts for example, the clothes are very recognizable, even tho the characters change too. But they're in the midst of puberty I think, lol. It was just a bit off putting in Judgment because so many things in the game seem so hyper realistic. But then again, it's basically a yakuza game. It's a mixture of pure wackiness and serious crime drama. I'm sure if they want to portray them in a different state they will do so in the future. And I can see that people of a certain age settle into a certain style. At least the idea seems very pleasing to me. I hope I get there someday. And I wish you good luck with that surgery too.
@@VanitasTheBest to be fair, it's either "settling into a certain style" or "getting old and boring and not having the energy to care" and honestly I'm not entirely sure which it is. my answer depends on however I'm feeling that day probably 😂 and if my back hurt when I got out of bed yeah, I can understand being a bit put off by it. tbh the thing that puts me off the most visually is Yamagi's fucking hair lol the design and rendering of it looks good but it's so messy and yet also floofy? Ichi's hair is messy too but it's messy in a way that's a clear visual cue that he's a Mess™️ and it's a bit comedic too Yamagi's hair just looks....... I'm sure there's a reason why they designed it like this and maybe it's to draw a contrast between his really buttoned up lawyer look, and I know this is such a dumb complaint but oh my god you know, the more I think about it, the more I see your point. I feel like Kaito's shirt definitely should have changed because to me, the shiny orange shirt doesn't have the same impact as it did when we first get introduced to him. a statement piece should make a statement, and this one doesn't anymore, at least to me, but then again, I started watching this directly after finishing Ray's Judgment playthrough, so maybe it's fine if you've taken a break between playing/watching the two games but I will say, I'm so glad they have thus far kept Saori's style and clothes the same. I love that. it would have been too easy for the game to make her """hot""" like how the Yakuza devs made Hana skinny for literally no justifiable reason at the end of yakuza 4
People getting upset over a fucking upset frog noise... REEEing the "REEE". Guess we gotta cancel frogs now! (Which is called extinction.) Oh that made my week! HA! Thank you Ray for that hilarity of people getting upset over something that's highly trivial.
Times have changed, and a lot of people are using that noise now to mock people with nonverbal autism. It's a shame that it's happening, but that's the internet for you.

Hey guys. At around 2:20:38 into the stream I make a noise that some people might be upset by. I'd like to apologize about that. I was ignorant about what that noise is sometimes used for and I'll be mindful about it in the future so it doesn't happen again.

If you don't understand why some people might be hurt you can google it and read about the different uses. I've talked to people about it and have chosen to remove this reference from my vocab.

That was a weird moment to me, cuz he's always saying how Zero is his favorits
@@56bturn he actually likes the dubs for the newer games and goes dub for his replays. he just prefers going OG voices for his first time playthroughs
I never knew how much I missed the Yakuza series after it being almost a monthly ritual last year. 2020 truly was the year of Yakuza.
I can't even remember what the channel was like before honestly
Beating up those bullies over and over again is like "How many times and I going to teach you this lesson, young man?"
7:35:35 The moment Ray and chat experienced PAIN together.
Now that I saw that part, I felt that pain as well.
2:19:30 Tsukumo was buying NCAA 14 and is a huge fan of the Mascot Tournament. It's been confirmed.
Kaito does have a point about the detective agency being famous
they were instrumental in uncovering the super huge AD9 conspiracy and that *should* get them notoriety
I'd be shocked too if someone from the city haven't heard of it lol the whole AD9 debacle most definitely ended up on the news and it's not like yagami and kaito wouldn't get any credit since they and sugiura and everyone else helped with it
I fell asleep around the school part so I woke up to Ray doing dance numbers and I was confused but wasn’t surprised
I also joined late to Ray playing Sonic Fighters or some arcade game and thought well this probably still Judgment
43:07 that face is my new profile picture.

They definitely changed the physics in the UFO catcher lol seems more busted just like some machines in real life
Oh yeah, HERE WE GO! I'm ready for a full week of this! Even if it does tank Ray's channel.
Ray not knowing Espio broke my soul
2:51:41 this has some trailer park boys energy right here “I’ll give you a 100 bucks to fuck off”
"first order of business as MRC club advisor, can you stop calling me a fuckin pervert already?"
Hana of the Dead should have used the DualSense's motion controls, I know it's still gimmicky but I think it would have been fun
Ogikubo, the kid at the end, kinda looks like a younger Genda.
(See: 7:26:55)
Did Ray ever go back and finish the side missions in Judgment?
FUCK. I wanted to see his reaction to the intro. But thanks to deleted twitch vods and it being cut out of this that's gone for eternity.

but I will say, I'm so glad they have thus far kept Saori's style and clothes the same. I love that. it would have been too easy for the game to make her """hot""" like how the Yakuza devs made Hana skinny for literally no justifiable reason at the end of yakuza 4
People getting upset over a fucking upset frog noise... REEEing the "REEE". Guess we gotta cancel frogs now! (Which is called extinction.)
Oh that made my week! HA! Thank you Ray for that hilarity of people getting upset over something that's highly trivial.
Times have changed, and a lot of people are using that noise now to mock people with nonverbal autism. It's a shame that it's happening, but that's the internet for you.
@@googleaccount221 You kidding? I was having a laughing fit more than the character REEing and Ray mocking the character REEing XD.
@@SlyBluepaw i hope youve grown up since this comment was made
Reeeeeeee
