  • When you go back and forth between all of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon games like I constantly do there are so many little itty bitty changes. I often forget about those subtle differences and it rather unsubtly annoys me. But seriously M for pause??? M for monkey because that's who decided that.

    Edit: OKAY EVERYONE CAN STOP TALKING ABOUT THE YAKUZA 3 TIME OF DAY THING I’M SORRY :’(
    Part 3? I guess? Anyway, you may notice there are some times where it sounds like I was running out of breath and dying and it's because I was :) but hopefully you enjoy the video regardless.

    Speaking of Taxi fare, in Yakuza 0, the taxi near Tenkaichi street costs 10,000 Yen at night because it's too busy. This is likely to reflect on real-life Japan at that time.

      @@SnowiestAngeman That's what I thought too. Then I realized (as a Premium Adventure Enjoyer) that I can switch to day and everything is back to normal.
      Also a bonus detail: You'll often see people lining up for taxi, yelling "takshi..." and if you wait some time, a taxi will come, one of the dudes will bid others farewell and get into the cab. This little unnecessary detail made me appreciate the game a bit more (especially for a company famous for over-recycling assets).

      I'm pretty sure you can do that at Serena as well by talking to the Mama. Also, in Okinawa, you can talk to Mikio at the Ryudo family office for the same if you don't want to walk all the way to the orphanage. I, for one, make it a point to rest at Mikio's from time to time because if you talk to him and refuse to rest, he'll get upset and tell you that he gets lonely sometimes being all alone there. Every other safehouse has several people hanging around, even Nishida has Mack and the creepy fortune-teller lady in the postgame, except poor Mikio who only has Kiryu and a bunch of mangas.

    12:23 I grinded most of the SP points I needed for the entire game in Lost Judgment on Ijin Street because it will constantly spawn mobs at both ends of the street, so by the time you finish one encounter, you’ve already entered the next one lmao.

    • @JosephJoeseph
      @JosephJoeseph 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I have a strange compulsion to beat up any man I possibly can in these games so sometimes I literally got stuck on Ijin street until I got instakilled by one of the annoying super high-damage attacks of the miniboss with the gold suit and had all the XP and items I got erased because for some reason you can't just press retry and start the fight again or get respawned at the same point like in all the other games but it throws you all the way back to the last autosave and it's really annoying. I mean it wasn't so bad because SP is really easy to rack up in Lost Judgement and it's not like you ever get any super rare or valuable items from street fights, even the gold suited minibosses only give you 50k which isn't terrible but it's also really not a whole lot but still, it's just annoying.

      I don't know if this is because people aren't aware of this incredibly odd design decision or something else, but in the options screen on a couple of them, you need to turn on the ability to skip cutscenes. This seems to be because that option was originally just for pausing them but in the remasters they added an option to said pause screen, which is to skip the currently playing cutscene. I guess...that was easier to do than just making the remasters pausable by default?

    Ohh I just thought of an interesting topic for a video. Talking about some of the city stories I guess you could call them. You know all the small stories about the people of kamerocho that happen across the games that aren't usually part of the main story but always really cool. I mean stuff like the park with homeless people in 1 and 0 getting turned into the kamerocho hill's construction site in 2. Which is then slowly being constructed in the background until being completed in 5. Another example, that's actually related, is all the homeless people who had to relocate from west park because of the construction and the new places they have to call home like the dragon palace, the sewers, or underneath kamero theater.
    It could also just be substory characters that get to continue their story across Multiple games. An obvious example of this komaki in basically every game teaching you new moves and furthering his Dojo a little bit each time. Then there's the couple from 1, 2, 3 who are just the worst. For a more recent example we also have pocket circuit and the Order of Munan Chohept Onast. Which both tell three part stories that led these side characters interact with the protagonists at various stages of their life.
    I don't know all of this lore about the city of kamerocho is probably one of my favorite things about the series, it really makes the world feel real and lived in because it actually evolves and changes as time goes by. and I would love to see a video going through some of it.

    I just remembered something else, also specific to console versions. It’s the lack of separate volume sliders for music, sound effects and voices. I don’t remember if there were any at all before Ishin remake (that’s where the sliders finally showed up), but they are definitely not there in all of Dragon Engine games on consoles. Usually it doesn’t bother me, because I find the default levels of volume acceptable, but there is an exception. In the first Judgment game you just can’t hear the music, because the voices and sound effects during the fights are SO LOUD and you can’t do anything about it. Fuck this. I can’t come up with a single reason behind it, given that there ARE separate volume sliders in these games on PC. I hope that in Gaiden they won’t randomly disappear for some reason again

However, I never got the second one, as by that time, I sold my PS2 for 360 games back in 2008. The following year, I got a PS3 Slim & picked up 3 & 4 years later. For my PS4, I got 0 ( already finished ) Kiwami ( already finished ) Kiwami 2 ( already finished ) & 6 ( currently playing ) I also have one of the Judgment games. So yeah, I'm pretty big into the franchise.

    An annoying thing I’ve encountered recently is that in the original Yakuza 1 and 2, the button to exit the inventory is TRIANGLE for some reason instead of circle, so I had to get used to that. Then when I went back to one of the newer games I kept accidentally pressing triangle trying to exit the inventory

    • @Hezzadude12
      @Hezzadude12 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      That’s actually quite a common thing with all games of that era. Back in the PS2 days, it was extremely common to back out of menus, inventories etc. with triangle, and it was more so from the PS3 generation onwards that we started seeing circle as the button used for that (and X in Japan, because their circle and X prompts are reversed generally).

    • @SnowiestAngeman
      @SnowiestAngeman  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah older PS2 games in the west had triangle be the back button for whatever reason. It wasn't until Xbox games made it the B button that developers just made the back button in the same spot across Xbox and PlayStation 'cause it was easier lol. So B and Circle

  • @McNibbler

  • @AtomicArtumas
    @AtomicArtumas ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So, really dumb workaround for Ishin's pause button.
    Use Autohotkey to reassign escape to whatever you have the menu keybind set to.
    So when you press escape it thinks you're pressing M, for example.
    Legitimately, if you play games on PC frequently, learn how to use Autohotkey. It's like the easiest way to fix weird control issues.
    It also allows you to multi-bind stuff, which is also nice. Like you could set, say, ctrl + alt + middle mouse all to fighting stance, so you can use any of them whenever you wanted to.
    This is particularly useful for games that ask you to mash buttons frequently, as you can set multiple keys to the same input and basically just double mash to really cheese stuff lol (or just set up a full-on autoclicker type thing for the mash button, but eh.)
    The reason I say use autohotkey is that it's extremely easy to utilize just for one specific game, as it's just a script you run and the script can even include it's own quit function keybind.

      Indeed. I always hold the fighting stance button anyway but it was because Judgment added the choice between sprinting and walking in combat, so pressing the dodge button without locking on makes you sprint. Although, I dunno if it's in Judgment, but I'm pretty sure in Lost Judgment you can evade by pressing the sprint button without holding a direction or the lock on button and you'll still dodge
