It was ok. Less reddit than I expected.

I really don't get Expedition 33. Looks extremely generic.

>>714721678
that's my point, RGG's B-team produced a B tier Yakuza game and its probably going to be good enough to win GOTY

>>714721690
Its depressionbait which makes people think its sooo deeeeeeeeeeeep. The whole game takes place inside some dying persons mind or something like that

>>714722175
Storywise I see it as another RPG shitfest that tries to be deep like Deltarune, and so I ignore it.

>>714722239
deltarune is on another level of garbage, its the gayest video game ever made

who cares what journos think about anything???

>>714721335 (OP)
Mafia comes out in 3 weeks.

>>714722449
and? its made by the same californians who did 3.

>>714721335 (OP)
GOTY is the funny horsegirl game

>>714722553
Their remake was great.

Yakuza is the most soulless franchise in existence. I mean that with every fiber of my being. There’s more soul being eked out of every Madden or Call of Duty iteration than there is in the entire Yakuza franchise. It’s just so deeply, profoundly gay and corpo.

>>714722449
was going to say this, as long as old country is decent that it will probably win. could also put silent hill f in that category too

>>714722553
and looks like they realized they made a mistake and made it about italians again

>>714722626

stopped reading there, opinion discarded

I’m glad your ADHD didn’t prevent you from reading the entire post.

>>714722625
You're shitting yourself

>>714722626
Why? I played the first two games a while ago (OG emulated not that remake shit) and they were pretty soulful.

>>714722793
Fuck you lol

That's Eternal Sonata

They pandered to le Reddit crowd hard. Yakuza has always been a gritty crime drama game. But because you only played OG 1 and 2, that's the intended vision. The later games started to have zanier stories with more silly things sprinkled in the games. Im talking about ridiculous substories and the like. It really got the ball running with Yakuza 0 which was everyone's gateway Yakuza back then.. that game has some really wacky minigames and substories

Yakuza 7 introduced a new cast with an overhauled system to turn based which gave em way to make even MORE silly and wacky shenanigans. The crime drama is still there, but you can just tell things changed after Nagoshi left

>Pirate Yakuza GOTY
Nah. It's like a 6.5/10, I've played a number of games better than it this year (even more if you count remasters like NG2 Black and VF5 REVO). Split Fiction, Fatal Fury CotW, TMNT Tactical Takedown, Lilac 0 and Fuga 3 are all better in that 8/10 range and NG Ragebound is about to be the new frontrunner in a couple weeks assuming the demo represents its quality accurately.

Combat and OST's probably my favorite in the series.

Someone who never played Yakuza 5 which came out first, a game where zany minigames are the meat of the story's gameplay, not even optional content like Yakuza 0.

>>714728363
if you can't tell the difference that means you have autism

>>714732154
You might be retarded if you can't grasp the mind-boggling insanity of a Yakuza patriarch buying a National monument, hollowing it out into a matryoshka like shell that splits in half to reveal another, gold-plated castle rising from the earth.
And it's not even a sub-story, it's a canon story sequence.
The whole big reveal of the Yamato Mark II from 6 is nothing compared to this.

>>714732049
Blaming Yakuza 0 for the tone that was already there is what these tourist retards always do.

>>714721335 (OP)
Nah it's KCDII

>>714722597
>funny x game
reddit

>>714732530
but it's pointless, it's just there to look cool and otherwise doesn't matter

Would it still be good if Majima wasn't there?

>>714738503
These games are so story heavy it's hard to say. It's pretty standard fare RGG stuff though.

>>714721335 (OP)
>Another overpriced dlc

but by playing it safe they've made a better game than Dead Souls. That game was so bad and like, I think they sold it for $30 or $40 something like that. People shit on Gaiden but it's light years for what used to be the RGG cashgrabs

>>714740182
Pirate is better than Gaiden. Pirate at least has proper substories.

Kcd2 is the only wokeshit on the list, with the SAVE DA JOOS WHO WERE NEVER HERE HISTORICALLY BUT WE DID IT ANYWAY K.

other two are just games faggots like you never played because poor.

>>714722626
0 is motherfucking kino.
1 and 2 have soul, 4 is kino, 7 is one of the best games of all time.

Can't wait to see the unfathomable levels of SEETHE on this board when picrel wins GOTY.

>>714721335 (OP)
Game with PS3 visuals and bloated side quests is GOTY?

Clair Obscur Expedition 33
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance
Death Stranding 2
Ghost of Yotei
Grand Theft Auto 6
Fable

>>714738503
When the OG is dying of cancer, you don't have much of a choice

Theres no such thing as an official GOTY. There is no official gaming committee to decide. Theres just a handful of sponsor backed events that generally prop up thier own interests. How new r u?

>>714744924
Not likely when it looks like shit and you already have two big artsy releases in E33 and DS2.

>>714722792
But can they make a functional game in the first place? You remember how bad that was? Will see what they got.

>>714721335 (OP)
Sure
