"Kiryu has never killed anyone"

Yeah but people shot in battle sequences canonically live somehow. Kiryu shoots and stabs people in the chest in heat moves and right after they are like "wow ur so strong!" That's not the issue. My point is Ryuji CANONICALLY dies after getting beaten up by Kiryu

Kiryu has never killed a person once in his life

It's fine, he got better.

Not canon, retard. You think the main story writer also somehow designs the gameplay segments?

I don't see Kiryu pulling a trigger?

He moved him into the line of fire and held him there.

He threw a dying guy away, indirectly killing him.

He also aged 20 years by the looks of it.

shut the fuck up batman

HOLY SHIT I AM FUCKING SICK OF THIS YOU FUCKING RETARDS

HIS POINT WASN'T THAT HE NEVER KILLED ANYONE, IT WAS THAT HE NEVER *MURDERED* ANYONE

ARE YOU SO FUCKING BRAINDEAD THAT YOU REALLY CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE? YOU ABSOLUTE MONGOLIDS!

He did both.

Remember OG Yakuza when Kiryu was actually a scummy mid-level mob enforcer and not a perfect pure-hearted JRPG protagonist who has never done anything wrong ever? *sigh*

Yakuza 1 Kiryu sucks. Lovable dumbass muscle man is where it’s at.

Yakuza 6 or 7, which one is shittier?

Trying to 100% Yakuza 0 now.

It's draining me of lifeforce. I didn't listen

No one played 7 yet but from the look of it, it's a mixed bag.

A scummy mid level enforced that saves friend from being framed from murder and one of the first things he does after getting out of jail is adopting a girl.
The only thing that makes Kiryu scum in 1 is the English dub.

I thought this too but I really miss what a complete scumbag he was in Yakuza 1

I've heard Kenzan leans on scummy Kiryu even farther, shame it was never released in English

Yeah, since the main writer probably wrote that rail shooting scene in.

People walk around with terminal cancer too, you fucking retard.

Yeah and the Yakuza 1 dub is amazing so what's your point?

Also he's way more brutal in that game. Using dudes as human shields, most of his heat moves are stuff like quick and brutal soccer kicks to the skull instead of elaborate anime bullshit, etc

I can't imagine doing all the mini games like Shogi and shit. I stopped after I completed story and Real Estate/Hostess.

I hated 6. I can somewhat excuse it being poorly made because they were experimenting with the new engine. But I hate the direction they took all the characters. I'd prefer if Kiryu just bled out in the snow at the end of 5.

7 is painfully average. It's an average JRPG and an average Yakuza game. It's so unremarkable that it would be completely forgotten if it wasn't "the JRPG one". Kasuga has potential though, I'd like to see him pop up in other games.

Kiryu shot the guy that shot Terada at the beginning of Yakuza 2. And that was story, not gameplay.

Yeah unlike the later games where straight up starts shanking people with knifes, wiping their faces in the pavement, bashing people's skulls with using car doors, using a rocket launcher to takedown a manned chopper ,you know the anime stuff.

They seem to want to stick a party instead of a single guy now. Give me a party based action game in 8 please.

Yeah all those are in gameplay dude, I'm talking about the story

This is some pretty buttfucking retarded logic

That would be neat.
I'd prefer it if we could stick to the characters we already know though. Give Kiryu a rest, but we already have a big strong guy with Saejima, which makes the new big strong guy they want to bring in (Adachi) feel like a cheap knockoff.

Does anyone have a pic showing each characters sad photo they look at at the bar?

Yakuza game with co-op when.

I mean with Yakuza 5's ending, there really wasn't much else they can go, especially since Haruka announced to all of Japan that her Oji-san is Kiryu, the guy connected to the fucking Tojo Clan. Granted they didn't need to have Haruka get fucked from some random guy.
I also wonder why they didn't make a spinoff like Kenzan/Ishin to test out the new engine.

Story heat moves?

In Zero there was also rail shooter, but he didnt killed anyone there. those were rubber bullets and the explosions were staged.

Or start from square one with a brand new cast, they made it work for Judgment and that game can easily be played stand alone.

6 was fun if you ignore the plot
7 is really divisive, personally after playing the demo and watching gameplay I can say it's not for me the move to command based combat doesn't work

The experimentation will go
>Yakuza 8
First person brawler/shooter set in Chiba
>Yakuza 9
Dark Souls Clone set in Saitama
>Yakuza 10
Grand strategy game including all previous cities Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa, Sapporo, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Hiroshima,Yokohama, Chiba, Saitama and new city in Ibaraki.

Yeah, the climax moves you do against bosses are canon

Compare how a climax/finisher move against a boss in Yakuza 2 would just be shoving a dude against a wall and pounding his face into a bloody pulp, while in Yakuza 5 it was you getting thrown into the air and knuckle dropping a god damn bear

That's gameplay

>have Akiyama
>great character
>great VA
>interesting style that could have been explored
>they dont know what to do with him and gets "playable" in 5 for how popular he is

They are stupid. they are also stupid for not making Majima the or the other main character when he is popular as fuck.

>party based action game in 8 please.
I'm really hoping rgg goes back to the beat em up style, I would prefer a single protagonist but I'll take a party as long as it's not turn based

I feel like judgment was an akiyama game without akiyama, but yeah it would be cool to get an akiyama game considering how badass his style is
I can see majima getting his own game (which would be cool) but it seems like total reddit fodder

This. Kiryu's friends are all in their 50s now.

yakuza set in post ww2 japan when?

His sidecontent can be whacky and stupid like in 0 since his part was great, while his story more serious. There is always a space for 90s story with Majima rising, even during the part with Kiryu in prison while Millenium Tower was being made.
A continuation to 6 could also happen with Majima trying to pull the strings of the clan together with Saejima on his side. And Akiyama as some finance guy helping the clan in the shadows.

see

>There is always a space for 90s story with Majima rising, even during the part with Kiryu in prison while Millenium Tower was being made
both of those could work really well
I think a majima rising would be sweet

Why the FUCK is gameplay =/= story, what's the point????? Wtf is wrong with modern games

I only recently beat yakuza 0 as my first entry into the series, where do I go from here? I really enjoyed the story but haven’t played many beat em ups previously

Rubber bullets and ketchup packets bro. Along with a bulletproof vest for safety.
