Takuya Kimura is a famous actor/singer in Japan, and he's acting as the main character for this game. Since it's his voice, I can see why they don't have karaoke. It'd be an expensive effort, I think.
This would make a lot of sense if Kiryu’s voice actor wasn’t also a singer
Jack Swift Sometime during the development supposedly, he wasn’t originally a singer when voicing Kiryu is all I know on that subject.
@@jackswift2152 Kiryu's voice actor is not as popular
@@jackswift2152 You're a moron, you cannot really compare Takuya Kimura to Takaya Kuroda popularity wise, one is a former member of one of THE most popular boybands in Asia of all time, is a literal Japanese idol and appears in everything in Japan, and the other is a voice actor that has a relatively small band and has been singing for Yakuza karaoke since Yakuza 3.
Its like comparing DiCaprio or fuckin Brad Pitt to Troy Baker, and even then Troy Baker is a much more famous VA in the West than Takaya Kuroda is in Japan.
@@jackswift2152 The difference is that Takaya Kuroda started his band after he did Yakuza and it's nowhere near as popular as anything Takuya has ever done.
Had a friend from Japan...he liked to be called Tak, instead of Takayama...so that is real.
Dude, I recently made a friend (in the Netherlands): his name is Takuma, but he wants to be called Tak!
Tak about it
So?
Daniel Bone go put a child in cage of something. “So?” What a brat.
Maybe, but they would never call him that in Japan, or when speaking Japanese. They might call him Taka but not Tak. Plus Takayama is a last name, Takayuki is a first name.
"Judgment - After You Buy" title. is. fixed.
alisa231 hell yea. Game is awesome
I’m the 420th like
Nice
So many of these for me can be changed to "after you buy while you wait for the game to install"
@@alec7568 lmaooooooo word
"The difference is, you are not part of the Yakuza in this" neither is Kiryu during Yakuza 1-6, he returns momentarily in 1, but for like an hour
No one cares
@@AWretchedMan you do because you replied lol
@@whysoserious4464 lol
Ya got em good 😆
True but that’s more of a technicality as he’s definitely involved with the yakuza
Isn’t kiryu in like a dragon too 😂

Violence is meaningless.
You have to see that.
So now we’re all so gracious.
But it doesn’t come to actually feel it.
The thought is raised to real world.
If you had the love somewhere
to protect and you can survive.
Selfish deed is not freedom.
Even if it falls down.
Selfish deed is not freedom.
Can’t justify.
Selfish deed is not freedom.
Even if it’s so sad.
Now walking ahead

Yakuza is slowly creeping into my top 5 franchises of all time. I am really glad this spin off has the same fun an "magic" of the core series. Thank you so much for this spotlight on this specifically now i can get it next month.
What are your top 5?
@@@fictionarch In no real order Fallout (which has gotten watered down bad fallout 4 an now utter shit fallout 76... Elder Scrolls franchise tho again will be on the down swing when the new one comes out as Skyrim was fun but so watered down compared to Oblviion or Morrowind. The Half Life Games, The Bioshock games and lastly the Yakuza games just edging out my love of the old Castlevania games (bloodstained is amazing by the way) would be my top 5. What would yours be? @Fiction Arch
@@michaelcoffey1991 Would you say a Japan and anime lover would like it? I've been intrigued by the Yakuza series for quite a long time now, but I'm afraid playing through a total of seven games that look full of all kinds of stuff (side activities, quests, NPCs) would take too much time 😭
@@luigicrisci7637 I THINK you would yea but right now you can get the first Yakuza now called Yakuza 0 for like 20$ play that so you do not waste a ton of money on Judgement and if you love it or even like it then Judgement will go down 10 to 20$ for thanksgiving an you can pick it up then :) my best advice Oh an wife and i love anime too thanks for the response :)
Magic,Magic......u mean really long ass talking scenes !!
Games crap man!!!
3:46 fun fact all the Yakuza games are set the same year and month they were released in japan. This is excluding Spin offs, Remakes and 0.
@@adistefano_ did you see I said excluding? meaning they don't follow the rule.
@@adistefano_ Kiwami is also a remake of the first game. Which was released in 2005, and 2 was released in 2006.
Yakuza Ishin came out during the Samurai period. That’s why Japan is so technically advanced. LOL
@@adistefano_ Kiwami is a remake of Yakuza 1, that was released in 2005, the year we play the most of the game in, Kiwami 2 is a remake of Yakuza 2, which was released and is set in 2006, 0 is indeed set in the 80s but OP specifically stated that 0 did not count
And for the other commenter that talked about Ishin, if you aren't being sarcastic, Ishin is consnidered a spin-off, another thing that OP stated did not apply to the rule
@@adistefano_ kiwami 2 takes place only one year after kiwami 1
Loving this game. The attention to detail they put into this and other yakuza games is stellar.
Phenomenal game, love the Yakuza games. After Yakuza 6, I was wondering what's next. I'm only in chapter 3 and I'm close to already 20 hours in of just playing the game and really enjoying it; loving side quests, darts, Sega arcades, making friends with NPCs, and a lot more! Also, a great game to pick up for anyone who hasn't played yakuza games yet.
Jonathan Robinson I’m in chapter 4 and have played for about 23 hours. Loving everything about the game. Even the tailing missions aren’t that bad (definitely better than chapter 3 in MGS4).
How good is the story out of 10 ?
Yakuza is so damn good! Just answering the phone in Yakuza 0 is better than half the games on the PS4.
Facts
LOL!!!! 🤣 THIS!
Should I play yakazu 0 before I play this game? I’ve never played any games in the yakazu series.
@@jongriffin6004 It's the same setting(the city- Kamurocho). But I doubt it would be related. May be a cameo here and there. Yakuza 0 is a starter for Yakuza Path ( criminal path). This one, you play as Cop
@@jongriffin6004 No. Different series entirely although Judgment takes place in the city that's in every Yakuza game with a story that is heavily influenced my Yakuza lifestyle. The flair is like the Yakuza games, the feel is a more fluid yakuza with detective elements. Somehow every Yakuza reuses assets heavily, yet the games always feel unique.
I like the end of the video where you just wreck stuff in the office lol
Lol Dark Souls vibes
Very Yakuza like
You always sell me in the games that i have a bit of doubt in. Out of the 10-15 games i purchased after watching the Before You Buy i have never been disappointed, cause i know what im getting into. Thanks again.
I'll but it, anyway. Sega tried really hard on reviving almost the entire yakuza series, they also brought it to the west. It is also made by the same team, so eff it. Least I can do is support them.
Judgment is an absolutely amazing game so I can't wait till we get a sequel. Definitely my game of 2019 along with MK11. I would love to see a Yakuza game where both Yakuza and Judgment characters share a same game together. How badass would it be if Kiryu, Majima, Yagami, Kaito etc all are in the same game? I'd definitely buy it day one if they ever made a game merging Yakuza and Judgment characters.
Just beat the game it was fantastic.
Loved the story and the characters and like all the games in Yakuza universe before it great side stories.
Also love seeing how the the city changed from the first Yakuza 1 which took place in 2005 all the way to Judgement in 2018 or 2019.
The studio does a great job of showing how the city changes yet stays the same through all the games.
Yeah, I knew it was kamurocho as soon as he showed a bit of the walking around, even though I haven't played the game yet
Surprised Jake isn't reviewing this because he loves his "Japanese soap opera" Yakuza games
he's on Crash Team Racing right now. That video is next.
:D
Falcon is jake with a voice modulator change my mind
Nick Rios Funny, but there are about a hundred ways that it's not possible.
They both have drastically different ways of speaking, annunciating and their vocal patterns are different too.
Most obvious though is how they each articulate things, Falcon is casual and relies on common emphasis, Jake is formal with a touch of casual and relies on explanation or elaboration.
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 thats exactly what they want you to think
How am I just finding this game and its sequel now? Only a few hours in and I can already tell that this is gonna be an amazing game.
Yakuza + Ace Attorney!!!!! Hell Yeah!!!
Damn the open world in these types of games are cool I would love to see a dialogue system in one of these games
I’m in Chapter 3 and I love all the features there are. I slowly find out something new every time I play!
Oh uncle Kaz, your pen name became a title of a game
"Judgement Kaz"
A while ago hoping that this game continued after Y6
😂 this made my day thanks for pointing this out
Um...
@@tomcruise7481 what
Thanks you Gameranx. Gonna Play this after finishing few games which piled up in my PS4.
Im just starting the Yakuza series with Yakuza 0. Have over 20 hours logged and I still have the rest to play. Gotta add this to the list now lol.
Fantastic game with a emotional roller-coaster of a story
bro. It took me 120 hrs to finish zero and that was me trying to get the platinum trophy
Yakuza 0 was fucking awesome.
You should play kiwami 2
I stumbled upon Kiwami by accident. I fell in love with it immediately. I bought Kiwami 2, 6, and 0 before I even finished. After finishing Kiwami, I started 0 and preordered the 3-5 collection. Now I have to grab Judgment. This series obviously sucks. Lol
Just bought this game from Black Friday sales. It’s been an interest of mine for ages as well as the Yakuza games. I haven’t played any and I think it’s time. I’m going to play this game and see where it takes me. As much as I loved Sleeping Dogs, it has drawn my interest to the Yakuza series.
something about seeing him run into the furniture near the end of the video caught me off guard but I love that so much
More people need to take note of this studios work got my copy early and as a yakuza fan I'm enjoying it so far
Fair review tbh 👍
How good is the story
@@lil_per_vert its great
This game is absolutely amazing. I’m on Chapter 4 and loving it.
I just beat yakuza like a dragon a couple days ago And I just got to chapter 4 of judgement and I’m finding it sooooooo boring ...does it start picking up?
@@IvanRubin 🤡
Takuya kimura is one my favorite Japanese actors😊😊😊
I’ve never played a Yakuza game before but I always meant to since I’ve heard good things about it. This game reminds me of Shenmue though, walking around a big open world while investigating, talking to people, fighting, qte’s, playing old Sega games but modern of course.
HARBRINGERZERO did you buy it!? What did you think If you did cause I’m in the same boat
Never played a Yakuza Game and I regret it after playing Judgment. This game is a masterpiece and should get more attention. Although im not a fan of a arcade like games but still this one makes up for it with the story !
The makers of these games must have great teams. They pump them out so fast yet they are all so damn good!!!
Thanks for the review. I love the yakuza series. Definitely buying this game.
Got bored and saw this free on PS Plus and grabbed it. I'm about 20 hours in and having a great time. I loved the Yakuza games and this is a great blend of those and being a detective. Great review!
Don't take a shot everytime Falcon says "Yakuza". If you do, you will end up with alcohol poisoning hahaha
I’m playing lost judgment and only just found out that it’s actually the second in a series- love the yakuza games so definitely going to go and buy this and play it after I finish lost judgment
The first game is on sale right now for like $25
Although it's a yakuza like, I wouldn't mind giving it a try.
Thanks Gameranx for the simple and objective review.
Was never a big fan of this type of genre but you made it sound super interesting and fun to play. Nice work!
Beacuse these games are really fun to play!
Ain’t nothing like a game that lets you run thru cubicles like you’re the Juggernaut.
The main guys VA is apparently a j pop star too.. sooo karaoke might've been abit costly maybe..! 😅
The only thing that keeps me from platinuming yakuza games is karaoke but for some reason I miss it
Not sure if someone already commented here but just to add the main protagonist in this game was modeled after famous Japanese actor and member of Jpop band Smap, Takuya Kimura. I believe the voice as well. So the protagonist is literally portrayed by Takuya Kimura.
This is Yakuza judgement
Bad joke btw thanks for telling about his game Falcon! And your vioce is so smooth
I don't need anyone's opinion, I'm buying this game regardless just because of Yakuza. Just came for the gameplay and info. Arigatou Gozaimasu.
I absolutely loved this game so much
Amazing game, I'm enjoying this game alot, I didn't finish it yet but I can't stop playing, the story is so good
Please do a before you buy on Bloodstained: Ritual of the night plz. :D
This game looks amazing! I am gonna buy it when my ps5 arrives, thanks for the review!
Bought the game after this video and haven't regretted it since. Also loving lost judgement
So happy that I got into judgement so late so I can jump right into lost judgement after.
Just passed it and really enjoyed it, worth playing over again. Now to start the Yakuza Series
How can you play this game over again its gets so repetitive it's a good game but it's not all that excitiing
Both just came out on steam!
Only played a bit of yakuza 3 years ago too much dialogue reading (especially when stoned 😂) and obviously the language barrier but there was still something about it especially with the fighting and mini games, I've only just found out about this game today and am over the fricking moon its English dubbed so I've downloaded it on psn 😃
This game finally game to PC after I've been wanting to play it since release. I originally wanted Lost judgement cause its newer and I was told you didn't need to play the first one, since its older I was also kind of expecting some jank Kiwami 2 ragdolls. But let me just say, the first Judgement is currently blowing me away with out good it is. Best combat in a Yakuza series game so far.
So looking forward to the sequel!
I got the the ps5 remaster and i’m loving it so far! Wished i knew about this game back in 2019
I actually play this game in japanese with sub. Makes me pay attention more
0:37 "Make you feel....(DONT DO IT GAMERANX) very at home". (Phew)
got the copy early, like 4 days ago and complete it today. Not really direct connection to Kiryu but fun and enjoyable nonetheless. 9/10 would recommend duh.
Been a fan of Yakuza since Y1 lol
This game is not even close to 9/10
@@Ccubed92 it's a 10/10
Ccubed92 it’s a 10/10
The visuals are amazing .. when playing this makes me feel like im actually in Japan, Yes you you can also play in First person.
Hey I don't mean pushy, but if you are on PS4 and if this looks like something you be into (like I am), I'd recommend playing sleeping dogs. It's not exactly similar but it's a great beat em up set in an a smaller but really pretty open world in China where you are an under cover detective. Anyone who's played both might knock me for mentioning it. But they both have great characters and story and beautiful setting. It's on sale now on PSN. I found switching between them was a great way of pacing myself through each game.
Love this channel
That thumb nail is hilarious😂😂😂😂
I just found the game today and played a bit of the demo BUT OMG THE GAME IS SOO GOOD
zhimochie so I’ve never played this type of game and it looks interesting but I’m not even sure if I would like it
Just finished on PlayStation 5. Loved this game! No English dub after having played Yakuza 0-6. Japanese voices is only way to go! Starting Lost Judgement. Looking forward to it! Love the entire series! Like a Dragon and Ishin after Lost Judgment. Will be a sad day when I run out of Yakuza games. Maybe Yakuza 8 will be released then!
Yeah, them speaking Japanese is such a big thing for feeling like you're in Japan. I don't understand why people use dubs
Can we get a Before You Buy on Trover
Saves The Universe😆
Thanks. I just finished Like a Dragon... now I need this
I definitely want to play the Yakuza games after I finish this. I’m on chapter 2 and I’m really enjoying this so far.
Reads title
Me: wow, breakin' the law
breakin' the world
I remember when you guys had 1 million subscribers
Nice, might give it a shot. I like the detective spin
Yakuza 0 was used to be so underrated. Hopefully Judgment gets the same recognition because it’s so good.
"sometimes the voices don't line up with what you expect a person to sound like" . After hearing Mike Tyson talk for the first time, nothing voicewise surprises me. Just hearing one of the KO Kings talk, I'm listening and I'm like, where did all of the intimidation go?
I'm not a big fan of beat em up games but I do enjoy this one
I simply love yakuza games. Played Zero,Kiwami and Kiwami2 on pc. Hope Judgement also comes on pc too.
It most certainly will, we just don't know when but latest in next year
I'll be double dipping for sure to show support
You gotta play 6!
@@NoobieSnake if i could i would play 3,4,5,6 all of them but as i only have access to a pc i just want those to be ported to steam.
I have all yakuza and spin off. It's good at. I love yakuza video games.
Going to the wishlist. After I finish God of War
I so want to check this out because it looks really awesome
now i just need to wait for the discounts
Question? Is he superhuman😂😂How is he running through chairs and cubicles like it's Saint's Row IV? Still a dope looking that had me hooked on the fighting and it's good to know the detective missions aren't boring. I'm going to put this on the list.
Love yakuza games so I bought this.
I just got the first game on Steam and I’m in love with it.
Yakuza?
I think you're gonna have to be more specific, because that could be both 0 and kiwami.
That opening screen is badass. I wish this was a ps4 theme
I think it is if you got it on a Japanese account
One of the most underrated games 👍
tell me why the thumbnail looks like a more cleaner version of Greekgodx
One of the best games I ever played. And the fact that it speaks in English makes it even better. At least for me.
A must buy game
Not really tho
This a stand-alone
Falcon, I would love to see your thoughts on Bloodstained that just released (maybe/please a before you buy)? Thanks for the video, too bad I sold my PS4 to get the Switch.
Why.. Why would you do that?
The mortal wounds system was interesting
I wish they would've went to another city. This is definitely a check out during a good discount.
DropSixteenTV Tv nah worth every dime unless you really can’t afford then you should wait
@@Edaf304 I just got it yesterday on the Ps store for 39$ was definitely worth it
DropSixteenTV Tv it’s 29.99 rn
@@slimeboss9440 10$
Played yakuza and sleeping 💤 dogs also I love ❤ investigating games I have both Sherlock Holmes games and sinking city I came here because this is on sale and I am interested and will get it.
My question is... Can you turn off the blue & pink lights on body parts when attacking??
Judgment 2 secret boss idea: Kazuma kiryu because that would amazing!!!
My birthday is coming up and I'm getting this I heard you can use other people and have duo fights against crime
Hopefully they'll release this for PC within a year...too many interesting games upcoming!
I would love to pick it up just waiting out a bit for hopefully a PC release
That’s gonna be awhile
Does anyone know if the Japanese bought version could be upgraded to have the English now that the western version is out ?
Thx for reviewing a more niche title like this. Gonna have to pick it up at some point
@spindletea Umm Yakuza is a niche franchise.
Just picked this up since it was on sale, even though I planned on buying it at full price regardless, since I had my eye on it ever since the announcement. So you can imagine how fucking happy I was when it was just $30 (still is, so if you don't own, pick it up fuckers lol)
But yeah, definitely glad to hear this review while I wait for it to finish downloading 👍
Is there character customization as far as changing clothes hair etc ???
When I thought what would be a good over under of how many times Yakuza got said in this video, I didn't think 100 would have been a good guess.
I love this game and yukuza and sleeping dogs
Loving it so far any yakuza fan will.
