What I absolutely love and realized about the ending on my second playthrough is that when Kuwana walked away to the end of the hallway was complete darkness. However the later scene with Kuwana after the “anonymous” tip scene, you can see the now dark hallway now lit with light. The revelation of Kuwana slowly changing was brilliantly done. These tend to fly over my head sometimes but I was so invested that I just happened to notice. Lost Judgement is good.
I agree that the first one was weaker because it felt like it was a pilot of a tv show and this sequel feels more realized. Also I’d argue that the way Jin’s story ended feels like they’re setting up his own spin off
Lost Judgment might just be my favorite game in the Yakuza series. It's combat is phenomenal, it's full of stuff to do and it's a lot of fun. It's an incredible game in general
How the hell is it possible for you to pump out videos like these so frequently? Other channels upload once a month at most. It's crazy. Appreciate you though!
I'm saying! I was like okay we will see judgement 1 in a couple weeks.. and I was like whoa okay..that was fast...then BOOM LOST JUDGEMENT 2 I'm like bruh I can't I can't lol
I'd assume he played them all in succession and once he had all his footage then started editing. Still takes time but since editing is the last deed is easier to edit video per game and getting it done weekly. Or that's what I think
I just finished the main game the other day, and although it was just mentioned in one sentence by the previous Nikkyo Consortium leader, he did mention a "new business" that Daigo started with some tojo members. I wonder if that will be expanded on in 8, would be nice to see
I just recently discovered your channel and have been loving your Yakuza retrospective videos. I'm glad that you also made one for both of the Judgment games. They're really underrated and I hope that this PC release will bring the series the glory that it deserves. I absolutely love these games, probably even more than Yakuza. It's about time the community talks about something other than Yakuza 0 (e.g Kuze and Disco).
I LOVE Lost Judgement so much. I haven't finished the school stuff yet. But the Main Story starts of "YAWN BULLYING" but by the end WOOOOOOOOOW. I though RK was a hint at where Yakuza might go, could still be. But what put it over the top for me was the Kaito Files/Tales DLC. It made Kaito one of my favorite characters in the series and had probably the biggest scumbag in the entire series as the Villain.
I find it hilarious that Yagami doesn't tell Amasawa "I uncovered one of the biggest scandals in the medical space of Japan history, look it up for your proof". Could've ended the whole argument right there
Not only is Lost Judgment an incredibly polished game, but it somehow managed to be leagues better than its predecessor (which was already a good game itself). Most series (of any medium) struggle exceptionally hard just to make their sequels come close to the game before it, but here you have LJ both meeting and surpassing the game before it. It's kind of amazing. While I prefer playing my Yakuza franchise games as Kiryu I'll be damned if LJ isn't the best game in the franchise. It basically perfected the general formula. The best thing about this is that the games in this franchise tend to carry over all of a previous entry's improvements onto the next one, so when we finally get our hands on the next Yakuza game we can probably expect one seriously polished chunk of gold.
Lost Judgment is also one of my favorite games in the RGG canon, and definitely trumps Judgment in terms of narrative/gameplay. Unwavering Belief is also hands down my favorite boss battle music across every Yakuza/Judgment game, beating out the previous top contender Destiny from Yakuza 6. There's just so so so much to love about this game (which feels weird to say, considering the subject matter). Yagami and Co. have such a fantastic dynamic that isn't really replicated anywhere else, though Yakuza 7 comes close. It's really hard not to gush about this game, it's just that good.
I'm currently playing through Lost Judgement, so I haven't watched the whole video, but as someone who was bullied for about 3 years growing up, I really like how the story explains and explores how and why bullying happens and how it affects the victims
Lost Judgment was a great sequel, but I preferred the first overall. Liked the story more. And this may seem a weird thing to complain about, but I thought there was waaaaay too much to do. Don't get me wrong, Lost Judgment is great value for money when it comes to content, but after a couple months playing it I was like "oh God it's still going." Must have been doing something right though because I did it all
I love how Judgment universe antagonists can be absolute monsters. Kuroiwa, Soma and Sadamoto are pure evil just for the sake of it. It's fitting for a detective thriller and RGG really made it work.
*the first 4 Chapters are AMAZZZIINNNGGGG, i loved everything about the school and wished the entire game was centered around it directly. i feel like Yakuza 7 and Judgment were the perfect laid groundwork for us to get this game and it just does so many things well. 2nd best game in the series, right behind Yakuza 0.*
You know, if you are being bullied, endure. Silently record everything that happened to you. Bullies usually do things with some habits. Maybe they will bully you in the bathroom, in class, sports field, etc. Notice it and plan your recording accordingly. If you can't record video, record audio is fine too. Take the pictures of all your wounds. Record the days and time of your bully if you can. While you are doing this, start training your body. Just some simple stamina training and pushups daily is fine. After you collect a decent amount of evidence, I say you have two choices. First, you can simply upload everything on the internet along with your school and the teachers that didn't do anything even if they knew you are being bullied. Then simply watch the chaos unfold. Second, you can upload all the evidence online with a timer (say, make it upload during the time for recess). Then you can FINALLY retaliate when the bullies start to bully you again. Physically retaliate that is. Whether you win or lose, that doesn't matter really. All that matters is that you release all of your pent up frustrations at them. Don't do anything too violent though. You don't want to be a criminal. Then, watch the chaos unfold as your evidence went up. That's what I'd do if I was bullied in this modern days. In the past I could only do the violent thing lol. The bully stopped bullying altogether for me, so it works fine. I'm lucky I guess.
fantastic video son. i looking forward the day when we get more judgement, lost finsihed in such a good note what will Jin do next and how the shady goverment side will respond to all these revelations.
Not done with the video, it's been an excellent analysis so far and is making me consider replaying Lost Judgement since I only played it once when it first came out BUT the line "Jun ate the card like a fucking Chad" actually made me laugh out loud at the office so, big kudos for that. Im replaying those 10 seconds over and over for the same adrenaline rush
How far had you come, son, I remember starting following this channel with the 3 hours long Legacy of Kain video, thinking "great work, hope this guy does fine", and now that video has over 1 million views, and you are close to covering the entire Yakuza series, all in the span of less than a year, really curious about what retrospectives are you working on, and the future of this channel. Anyway, would like to know your thoughs on the future of the Yakuza series, if maybe RGG might be milking the series too much, considering in less than two years they are releasing a remake, another spin-off, and a mainline title, without mentioning bringing Kiryu back, and whatever they are planning for the 20th anniversary of the franchise in 2025.
I finally finished lost judgment and though I loved the game, I don’t entirely share your sentiment on the school stories. I did like a lot of the mini game aspect of it (minus robotics), but in a future entry if they do large side content like this can they be centered around adult characters? I feel like the “how do you do fellow kids” meme is like the underlying feeling of so many of these stories.
Fist of The North Star: Lost Paradise and the Judgment game were my first real introduction into the Yakuza franchise as a whole. Lost Judgment alone is not only my favorite of the two games, but also quite easily one of my favorite games of all time. I've only now just started to play Yakuza proper because of the Judgment games, and am currently starting with 0. The moral dilemma between Yagami and Kuwana is excellently executed, and Kuwana is easily one of my favorite antagonists in fiction because of how sympathetic I found him to be. I will say that you missed out on one big factor coming out of the School Stories: that Boxing is the fourth style for Yagami and is not just for the Boxing portion of the Stories. I found it especially useful when I fought Kuwana in the finale boss fight since Kuwana's style is essentially an amalgamation of Yagami's Crane, Tiger, and Snake styles. So beating Kuwana with "The Sweet Science" was quite the advantage. Overall, this was a great retrospective into quite possibly one of the best games made in the last 10 years. Hopefully this is not the end for Yagami and company and that we can get at least one more game in the future.
I know I don’t say this as often as a father probably should… The thing is… Yeah, the thing… It’s just that.. Damn, I didn’t think it would be this difficult. This was always YourFavoriteMothers field of expertise! But she’s gone now… For at least another hour. Said she’ll pick up some Micky’D’ on the way ba- NOOOO! DARNIT! … Look, son, what I’m sayi- what I’m trying to say is… … That… … I’m proud of you, son.
When Judgment 3 gets made, I think it’d be cool is they made it like Yakuza 4 and 5: multiple characters (hopefully with Yakuza 0 style character switching). Obviously, you’d play as Yagami and more than likely Kaito. And seeing as how Gaiden allowed a playable Higashi and Sugiura, that’d be cool as well. It might be difficult considering Yagami and Kaito have multiple fighting styles, but it’d be cool.
School stories is one of my favourites in this game. They put alot of effort into it like voice acting in some parts making it more interesting than the usual side stories. I do understand some parts are abit boring or annoying for me like the Biker gang or the Robotics club, since it is hard to get through and such. But in the end it does give a sense of achievement after you completed it. One thing I might be nitpicky about it is the ending. After you finish the the main story, Amasawa and the MRC club were never mentioned again. I wonder what happened to Yagami as being an advisor. I kinda wish they could give some sort of ending to include it if you finish the school stories before you finish the main one or a separate type of ending for it.
I'm gonna have to strongly disagree with that one. It's basically a super limited Tiger style. It can set up juggles but so can Crane and Tiger, it does nothing that Yagami can't already do
@@cryguy0000 I'll have to disagree, todoroki blow, especially as an uppercut can be done off of nothing or a dodge, without needing to counter or anything. The basic combo can turn a basic juggle into an infinite without even needing the other styles. There's also the instant ko ex action, as well as the style looking really cool once fully upgraded.
I wish I could love the school stories but I'm stuck in the crappy robot fights so who knows if I'll ever get to see the other clubs and play through this whole storyline.
Just finished the main story today. Had a great time and I’m looking forward to getting the rest of the achievements. I prefer the turn based Like A Dragon games but this was a great experience.
Honestly, even if it just the surface of it, and the ending of that subject is hella cliche, bullying is a serious issue, not taken seriously by a lot of people. Sure, most places have basic "no bullying" type of rules, but that is mostly on theory/symbolic.
Hi son, I'm proud of you - Dad. This game is almost perfect, in many ways easily the best RGG game to date, but it's marred by some *bafflingly* asinine UI decisions. The move to permanently lock the controls display to the bottom right, in a game where immersion in a meticulously detailed world is THE main draw, is damn near unforgivable. Then for good measure, the baby-mode "Tips" popups never stop coming. Then there are the glowing items cluttering the world, which were never necessary in Yakuza for some reason. Oh yeah, do you want to roam the beautiful simulated cities in first-person like in the other Dragon Engine games? Well guess what, there is no first person view without a busy 'gadget' HUD. Taken together, these do almost fatal damage to the core immersive-Japan-simulator experience, making the game feel more video-gamey than any other RGG game while essentially insulting the player. I don't think my take on this is an overreaction, honestly. These would have been SO easy to address, but through some tragic anti-miracle were either not caught in playtesting or were somehow thought to be good ideas. This is without getting into the shamefully undercooked and tedious PS2-level 'stealth' and 'parkour' mechanics, which thankfully only comprise a small % of gameplay. I actually really liked the tailing and chase missions btw.
Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise next or waiting for another installment of either the Judge or Yakuza Like A Dragon franchise or Binary Domain or Ishin?
My biggest issue with Judgment was that they stripped nearly all the rpg elements. No armor, no weapons, and you can't change costumes at will. Felt like all I got was parts for the drone racing which I just did not get into even though it was a neat idea. I also just have so little patience for stealth mechanics so that caused me some trouble. I keep hearing Lost Judgment is pretty good though so I'm excited to check it out. I
You said boxing skill unlocks don't have use but they do tho. You can use boxing style in normal game. (Unless I understood the video wrong cause I'm watching every vid in like 5 sessions xd)
I still probably like yakuza 0 distractions more because of 3 main reasons, the sega arcade feels like an actual arcade... Doing the distractions reward you for doing them... And do i even need to justify stock racing?
I like the first Judgment story better. Probably because it me by surprise that it would be that good and I had a lot expectations for lost Judgment. Not to say lost Judgment's story wasn't good. It was kinda slow to start.
Great game, Im loving it, but the beginning is soooo slow, even more than other yakuza, you fight the same group of guys like 6 times and you have to help the same person from the exact same situation a bunch of times in the same place, while being looked from other content, I think the first couple episodes from part 1 were much better.
I played through LJ for the first time and my god, Sawa was so annoying! And when she gets unalive'd the game wants us to feel sad and shocked and has Yagami constantly going "Sawa-sensei was a victim!" like... yeah, but she also did nothing and kept information hidden just because when she spoke out she got silenced and instead of getting evidence or doing more for the students she supposedly cared for so much, she just kept quiet, hid information and was an annoying twat to Yagami at every chance she got, not sayjng she wasn't a victim, but the game wants us to feel bad for a coward who constantly antagonized Yagami
I see her more as wasted potential. I agree that her death lacked impact, you never get to know her enough to feel it and her arc gets cut short. I think they should have had her survive. Her redemption arc would be her regreting her inaction then gaining the confidence to speak out and also have her warm up to Yagami.
@@cryguy0000 yeah ofc it would. That's why I joked about it. There's only Lost Paradise and Dead Souls left for western releases so I'm hoping he covers them.
Loving these retrospectives but tiny nitpick, how are you pronouncing so many names so wrong when the game literally says them to you hundreds of times?
What's your favorite thing about Lost Judgment Dad?
What I absolutely love and realized about the ending on my second playthrough is that when Kuwana walked away to the end of the hallway was complete darkness. However the later scene with Kuwana after the “anonymous” tip scene, you can see the now dark hallway now lit with light. The revelation of Kuwana slowly changing was brilliantly done. These tend to fly over my head sometimes but I was so invested that I just happened to notice. Lost Judgement is good.
I don't think the paintball gun was the biggest fakeout in Yakuza. The rubber bullets from Y4 is way more egregious.
I agree that the first one was weaker because it felt like it was a pilot of a tv show and this sequel feels more realized. Also I’d argue that the way Jin’s story ended feels like they’re setting up his own spin off
Dance club, obviously.
That it's actually on Xbox one lol I did get the first one PS4 though
23:02
"In what other game can you investigate a murder, walk a dog, and skateboard around the city?"
Deadly Premonition 2.
Lost judgement has the best combat in the whole series, the amount of tricks you can pull off is pretty insane and I especially love the snake style
Lost Judgment might just be my favorite game in the Yakuza series. It's combat is phenomenal, it's full of stuff to do and it's a lot of fun. It's an incredible game in general
It's certainly pretty high up there

I'm saying! I was like okay we will see judgement 1 in a couple weeks.. and I was like whoa okay..that was fast...then BOOM LOST JUDGEMENT 2 I'm like bruh I can't I can't lol
Definitely one of the best video game retrospective channels
I'd assume he played them all in succession and once he had all his footage then started editing. Still takes time but since editing is the last deed is easier to edit video per game and getting it done weekly. Or that's what I think
I second that, this is mind boggling
Adderall
Considering that Lost Judgment takes place in a post Tojo Clan environment, I am really looking forward to what Yakuza 8 has in store.
Counting the days
I just finished the main game the other day, and although it was just mentioned in one sentence by the previous Nikkyo Consortium leader, he did mention a "new business" that Daigo started with some tojo members. I wonder if that will be expanded on in 8, would be nice to see
it baffles me the Gaiden takes place whilst judgment, yakuza 7 and lost judgment are happening
I am looking forward to more lost judgement
The kaito files dlc has gotta be some of the best dlc I’ve ever played although yes pricey the whole experience was a 10/10
Agreeed
hell I'd rather pay more for a DLC that's worth it then less and be pissed I paid for it at all

Hey Son, it's me, your favorite Dad. Just wanted to tell you I look forward to your videos every Sunday. See you at 1mil subscribers.
See you there Dad!
Do you plan on doing videos on Ishin, Gaiden, and Infinite Wealth? I'd love to see you cover them

Lmao

23:02 Deadly Premonition 2 may have done the murder solving/skateboard riding/ dog walking detective first, but this game does it way better.
Hey son, just wanna say your videos always bring a smile to my face.
Thanks Dad
I was waiting for this one, I cant wait to see your retrospective on Lost Judgement
Huge thanks for using the dub for the video specifically, I mostly listen to this kind of videos so it's a huge help
Lost judgement is such a great game.
The music at 43:10 is so bad ass. It's not long, and I can't find it expect that in this chapter, but it sounds epic
Thank you SO much for playing with English dubs, as someone who listens to these while studying or sleeping I find it so much better.
Lost Judgment was a great sequel, but I preferred the first overall. Liked the story more. And this may seem a weird thing to complain about, but I thought there was waaaaay too much to do.

Also the part where all 4 are fighting the massive group was great. Took me a few tried to get past that
I love how Judgment universe antagonists can be absolute monsters. Kuroiwa, Soma and Sadamoto are pure evil just for the sake of it. It's fitting for a detective thriller and RGG really made it work.

Watched every retrospective video o f yakuza and enjoyed it. Can't wait for the Ishin one. Great job and keep going.
Finished binging the yakuza playlist, kinda curious if he’s gonna do ishin, dead souls, infinite wealth or man who erased his name.
Today is a good day, new Vid from son, LET'S GO!!!
I don't know how you keep this output son but it's impressive.
You know, if you are being bullied, endure. Silently record everything that happened to you. Bullies usually do things with some habits. Maybe they will bully you in the bathroom, in class, sports field, etc. Notice it and plan your recording accordingly. If you can't record video, record audio is fine too.

That's what I'd do if I was bullied in this modern days. In the past I could only do the violent thing lol. The bully stopped bullying altogether for me, so it works fine. I'm lucky I guess.
With this I finally finish your Yakuza series. Thanks to you I'm giving these games a shot!
I'd really love to see you do a retrospective for first of the north star lost paradise another absolutely phenomenal Yakuza style rgg game.
fantastic video son. i looking forward the day when we get more judgement, lost finsihed in such a good note what will Jin do next and how the shady goverment side will respond to all these revelations.
I initially bought Lost Judgement just to play Sonic the Fighters. God was that the best decision. And thus my Yakuza/Like A Dragon addiction began
Not done with the video, it's been an excellent analysis so far and is making me consider replaying Lost Judgement since I only played it once when it first came out BUT the line "Jun ate the card like a fucking Chad" actually made me laugh out loud at the office so, big kudos for that. Im replaying those 10 seconds over and over for the same adrenaline rush
you forgot to mention how OP boxing style is when used outside the minigame
FAX, my fav style by far. Snake isn’t even a close 2nd for me - but definitely 2nd fs.
How far had you come, son, I remember starting following this channel with the 3 hours long Legacy of Kain video, thinking "great work, hope this guy does fine", and now that video has over 1 million views, and you are close to covering the entire Yakuza series, all in the span of less than a year, really curious about what retrospectives are you working on, and the future of this channel.

I stand by the fact that the boxing minigame will be the closest we will have to an official kurohyou translation
Just finished both Judgement games and came here to say that Kaito is my favorite supporting character out of any RGG game.
I finally finished lost judgment and though I loved the game, I don’t entirely share your sentiment on the school stories. I did like a lot of the mini game aspect of it (minus robotics), but in a future entry if they do large side content like this can they be centered around adult characters? I feel like the “how do you do fellow kids” meme is like the underlying feeling of so many of these stories.
Fist of The North Star: Lost Paradise and the Judgment game were my first real introduction into the Yakuza franchise as a whole. Lost Judgment alone is not only my favorite of the two games, but also quite easily one of my favorite games of all time. I've only now just started to play Yakuza proper because of the Judgment games, and am currently starting with 0.
The moral dilemma between Yagami and Kuwana is excellently executed, and Kuwana is easily one of my favorite antagonists in fiction because of how sympathetic I found him to be.

So beating Kuwana with "The Sweet Science" was quite the advantage.
Overall, this was a great retrospective into quite possibly one of the best games made in the last 10 years. Hopefully this is not the end for Yagami and company and that we can get at least one more game in the future.
The ending is PHENOMENAL.
25:07 iirc, you didn’t *technically* have it from the beginning in Judgement, the game forces you to unlock it as part of the skill-buying tutorial
youre correct
1:31:04 not true! You have to upgrade the boxing minigame skilltree to upgrade the boxing fighting style that you use outside of battle
My personal favorite game from RGG
Kyoya sadamoto is the villain I hate the most after Iwami (Y6). Glad to see he got what he deserves after ruining everyone lives
I actually like the main antagonist, he shined a light on a unjust part of the world, even if that light came from the darkest depths of hell.
Yoo judgement time!

Do you have any thoughts about Kaito not having an irezumi? It kind of took me out of it with the 1-2 punch of the jacked doctor and inkless Kaito.
YES!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!
When Judgment 3 gets made, I think it’d be cool is they made it like Yakuza 4 and 5: multiple characters (hopefully with Yakuza 0 style character switching).

Did you ever buy the boxing style dlc? It's easily one of the best styles the entire series has seen.

Thanks for playing the English language version. I am indeed one of those people who listen to rather them watch your videos.
Honestly, even if it just the surface of it, and the ending of that subject is hella cliche, bullying is a serious issue, not taken seriously by a lot of people. Sure, most places have basic "no bullying" type of rules, but that is mostly on theory/symbolic.
My dude if you put a sponsored link to buy this game here I'd buy it right now. You need to talk to Sony.
Hi son, I'm proud of you - Dad.
This game is almost perfect, in many ways easily the best RGG game to date, but it's marred by some *bafflingly* asinine UI decisions. The move to permanently lock the controls display to the bottom right, in a game where immersion in a meticulously detailed world is THE main draw, is damn near unforgivable. Then for good measure, the baby-mode "Tips" popups never stop coming. Then there are the glowing items cluttering the world, which were never necessary in Yakuza for some reason. Oh yeah, do you want to roam the beautiful simulated cities in first-person like in the other Dragon Engine games? Well guess what, there is no first person view without a busy 'gadget' HUD. Taken together, these do almost fatal damage to the core immersive-Japan-simulator experience, making the game feel more video-gamey than any other RGG game while essentially insulting the player. I don't think my take on this is an overreaction, honestly. These would have been SO easy to address, but through some tragic anti-miracle were either not caught in playtesting or were somehow thought to be good ideas. This is without getting into the shamefully undercooked and tedious PS2-level 'stealth' and 'parkour' mechanics, which thankfully only comprise a small % of gameplay. I actually really liked the tailing and chase missions btw.
I legit am at the warehouse fight, i got to the last enemy but died because i was tryna be cool so here i am spoiling it for myself
Loved this game so much
Can you explain whether judgement series and it's characters know about kiryu and the clan?
Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise next or waiting for another installment of either the Judge or Yakuza Like A Dragon franchise or Binary Domain or Ishin?
love your vids even tho ive already finished all the yakuza games
i really liked the School Sideplott, but i have to admit: The First Judgement was a little bit more interesting, but by a small gap.
You living legend
Man, the moment the sentence " the whole system " with patriotic sad song
it reminds me MGS
Question: I know that RGG games tend to be standalone but just wanted to know if Lost Judgment can be played without playing Judgment?
Yeah i think you can. LJ's story is completely original and doesn't spoil anything from the first game and it mainly focuses on new characters.
Yeah I played lost judgment without playing the first one
This is a really good Game but ist has to many generic RK goon Fights other than that its a 10/10 game
Have you done like a dragon gaiden yet?
Have you thought about doing a retrospective Like a Dragon Ishin?
After I finish trail version and it will intro then I can't able to end
My biggest issue with Judgment was that they stripped nearly all the rpg elements. No armor, no weapons, and you can't change costumes at will. Felt like all I got was parts for the drone racing which I just did not get into even though it was a neat idea. I also just have so little patience for stealth mechanics so that caused me some trouble. I keep hearing Lost Judgment is pretty good though so I'm excited to check it out. I
Man I love your videos but them amount of ads placed in them is crazy
Wait, Johnny & Associates cause stupid problems even on this side of the pop-culture sphere? Damn, those people are deadset on being infamous.
You said boxing skill unlocks don't have use but they do tho. You can use boxing style in normal game. (Unless I understood the video wrong cause I'm watching every vid in like 5 sessions xd)
are you doing the OTHER spinnofs? the zombie shooter? the samurai games? the psp games that one cares about?
Story games needs money
I still probably like yakuza 0 distractions more because of 3 main reasons, the sega arcade feels like an actual arcade... Doing the distractions reward you for doing them... And do i even need to justify stock racing?
I like the first Judgment story better. Probably because it me by surprise that it would be that good and I had a lot expectations for lost Judgment. Not to say lost Judgment's story wasn't good. It was kinda slow to start.
I never played the lost judgment dlc…I should lol
WAIT. I never seen that Zombie shooting game
Its in both Judgment and Lost Judgment
in the arcades
@@YourFavoriteSon1 I never got to play Judgement because it's Series S|X only, and not on Xbox one
@@roshaanreddy8107 Damn, I don't think I went to the Arcades all that much
All I’m going to say is this….. I hate the robotics class…..
hey son, could you do me a favor and look into the prototype franchise?
Great game, Im loving it, but the beginning is soooo slow, even more than other yakuza, you fight the same group of guys like 6 times and you have to help the same person from the exact same situation a bunch of times in the same place, while being looked from other content, I think the first couple episodes from part 1 were much better.
Dose story gameplay needs money
really liked the story of the first one, it got me really excited for lost judgement but it's story left me disappointed imo.
I played through LJ for the first time and my god, Sawa was so annoying! And when she gets unalive'd the game wants us to feel sad and shocked and has Yagami constantly going "Sawa-sensei was a victim!" like... yeah, but she also did nothing and kept information hidden just because when she spoke out she got silenced and instead of getting evidence or doing more for the students she supposedly cared for so much, she just kept quiet, hid information and was an annoying twat to Yagami at every chance she got, not sayjng she wasn't a victim, but the game wants us to feel bad for a coward who constantly antagonized Yagami
I see her more as wasted potential. I agree that her death lacked impact, you never get to know her enough to feel it and her arc gets cut short. I think they should have had her survive. Her redemption arc would be her regreting her inaction then gaining the confidence to speak out and also have her warm up to Yagami.
2 more games to go
Wait i count 3. Dead Souls most importantly, and kenzan/ishin if our son feels brave enough.
@@williamstout8252 I feel like it'd be really hard to review two untranslated games.
@@cryguy0000 yeah ofc it would. That's why I joked about it. There's only Lost Paradise and Dead Souls left for western releases so I'm hoping he covers them.
Loving these retrospectives but tiny nitpick, how are you pronouncing so many names so wrong when the game literally says them to you hundreds of times?
Story wise I found it to be the most bland
