Why do Japs portray themselves as white men in video games?
Because they're white
>>376686772
>those slanted eyes
>white
also, japanese have whiter skins than other east asians
>>376686989
I have the same eyes and I am white eastern European.
yakuza is full of the most asian looking people ever put in vidya, i dunno what you're talking about
>>376686772
OP could have said FFXV, and there wouldn't even be a defense. Yet he was dumb enough to say Yakuza 0.
>>376687039
>white eastern European
>>376686772
anon, have you ever seen how asians look?
>>376687430
OK Abdul
>>376686772
Every other person other then the MCs look Asian.
Who knew The MCs had to be looking way better then everyone?
>>376687981
>White
>Better
Have you checked your privilege?
>>376688067
>They have some features that aren't based on reality like having big eyes and anglo features
better? Where's that K-on pic where they compare japanese and western features?
>>376686772
majima looks pretty chinese to me
kiryu looks like pic related
In what universe do those guys look white?
>>376687057
>>376687302
It's jarring cause the main characters look white or at least half-white half jap, where the random NPCs and all the other characters (face scans of real Japanese actors) look SUPER jap.
>>376688472
I don't know man, comparing them side by side it doesn't look that much the same.
>>376688539
They could pass for Spaniards or Italians
>>376686772
You must have less eyes than Majima
>>376686772
how do you manage to fuck up that hard that you use a video game that models characters after their voice actors as an example
>>376686772
Are you fucking retarded? Are you even more blind than fucking Makoto?
>>376686772
Nobody wants to play as a small and ugly gook
I've never played yakuza before, which game should I start with?
>>376688804
>>376688573
Kazuma and Majima were designed before the series started face-scanning actors.
>characters are actually modeled after their voice actors, still somehow think they look white.
are you shitting me OP.
>>376688928
Zero for sure. A remake of 1 is coming out in August and it's in the same engine, so it'll be good preparation for that. The remake's also only thirty bucks, which is great.
>>376688928
0, 1, or 4 are all fine places to start. 0 because it's the most recent one and is a prequel that has all the major improvements and minigames other games brought to the table, 1 because it's the start and every game after will keep improving so it's not as rough to go back to them, and 4 because it introduces three more main characters on top of Kiryu and you can go in without any sort of history on the games and still understand what's going on.
>>376688945
But neither of them look white. What are you, american?
>>376688928
0, Kiwami, 1, or 3.
>>376688945
I thought they did that with Kaoru. Then again it was hard to tell thanks to PS2 graphics
>>376688928
I'd say just play the games in release order. Having played most of the games in the series, most of them hold up really well, but 1's kind of jank at times and Kenzan is also kind of jank.
0's a good enough entry point if you just want to start with the most recent entry, though.
Kiwami's coming out in a few months and that's a remake of 1 in 0's engine, so you might also want to pick that up if you end up liking 0.
From there just go in release order, ignoring spin-offs if you want to.
>>376686772
Honorary aryans, the jew fears the samurai etc
>>376689242
In what way is 3 a good entry point? The entire first two or three hours is babysitting everyone at the orphanage, and Ryukyu's entire first visit is just you fighting with Rikiya's crew until you beat up those other guys and then finally get to leave to Kamurocho. Then 5 chapters later you come back to Okinawa and you're back to an hour or two of babysitting again. It would easily put people off of their first experience. Hell, once you beat Majima in chapter 1 you don't even really have a major fight outside of Rikiya which takes absolutely forever to reach.
>>376689272
>Kenzan is also kind of jank.
That's just because of how much everyone blocks and how long it takes to get any Heat Actions or combo extensions. Once you do it's really fun, and it has the best Amon in the entire series that I've fought against so far.
>>376688945
They started trying to make Kiryu look more like his voice actor in 3, he still looks like an anime character 90% of the time though
>nips look white in vidya!
>post the game where the characters are modeled after the voice actors
>>376689272
When is Sega going to release this with English subs?
>be white
>you'll never have the threatening alpha mean stare of kazuma to project your yakuza toughguy presence
>you'll never be Nippon gangster
>you'll never be a dancing beast
>you'll never take on 3 highschool punks in street alleys and kick fools in busy Tokyo streets that try to mug you
why live?
>>376688928
Yakuza 1 is the optimal place to start if at all possible.
If not, Yakuza 0 is the next best option, though you'll miss a few references. It's also a prequel so you might have a different experience if you play this before 1 and vice-versa. Some scenes will have a different tone depending on your series knowledge.
Beyond that, follow release order, though I don't see why you would.
1 has one of the worst mandatory english dubs ever
2 is pretty fucking awesome and still holds up really well
3 had a major amount of side-content stripped out of it
4 has a recap of every game before it and introduces some hype characters
I never got to play 5 as my ps3 crapped out before I could
>>376686772
Kiryu reminds me of a young Mifune.
>>376689796
Not soon enough.
>>376689830
>1 has one of the worst mandatory english dubs ever
WHAT'D YOU SAY MOTHER FUCKER
>>376689796
Westerners don't like historical Japanese games according to Sega's guys. Let's see what happens at E3 because for all we know Ishin could be announced there like all the others after the success of Nioh.
>>376688964
some white guys have this inferiority complex that comes up anytime someone says something positive about another race.yeah we all know that white people are the best and have the best culture and countries but say anything postivie about Asians and you will get
>much small dick!

>>376687981
>Every other person other then the MCs look Asian.
Donno how you came to that conclusion, but Kiryu clearly looks asian.
>>376688791
kek
>>376689967
Sorry mate, that dub is terriblejust my opinion anon :^)
>>376690059
>E3
PSX is more likely.
Still, I don't think it would be announced that soon, considering we're getting like 3 games in the span of a year and some people might be getting franchise fatigue. I mean, I'm a crazy person, and I played 1,2,3,4,5,Kenzan, Ishin, and Dead Souls within a year, but not everyone is a crazy person.
>>376690059
It was already a pain for them to release it domestically as they had to make a dictionary ingame to explain all the ye olde japanese
Nioh got hyped because of the "it's hard like Dark souls" cult
>>376686772
If those characters look white to you, then you must be from Argentina or something. Kiryu is the only character that you could argue looks Eurasian/hapa (well, maybe Daigo too), everyone else looks 100% Jap (a lot of them are even based on real actors and JAV idols). Yakuza, along with Way of the Samurai and Shenmue is one of the few games that actually has realistic looking Asians. It could even be argued that the characters looking so Asian is one of the reasons it's never taken off with Western normalfags, since they think the game "looks too Japanese" for their tastes.
>>376690259
I SUGGEST YOU BLOW ME
>>376688945
And they redesigned them come ps3 games. Kiryu for example was made to resemble his VA more
>>376690259
>>376690259
Excuse you? NO, FUCK YOU!
>>376690362
The thing is that their dictionary terms don't have to be too in-depth because the games only brush a surface level of the history, they don't require you to know the history at all otherwise Kenzan would be awful as a foreigner. You just need a brief overview of the historical people you meet, maybe terms like Yuujos (Or whatever Haruka was) listed, maybe gambling terms of the time, and possibly era-specific things, but Kenzan required 0 knowledge of any Japanese history to enjoy it. I don't see why Ishin would need it either since they take massive liberties with the history to begin with and anything too obscure they outright explain it to you.

KIRYU GIVING HARDCORE BEATDOWNS FOR 10 YEARS AND COUNTING
>>376686772
Japs are honorary white according to Evola. Not even being a weeb, they are literally welcome into the Ethno-state.
They've always been very inconsistent with Kiryu and Majima. They both looked very Asian in the first two games, but then started looking more mixed or racially ambiguous starting with 3/Kenzan. I think Majima in 0 actually looks very Asian, while Kiryu still looks kind of hafu. Still though, calling them white is a huge stretch. Are you black OP?
>>376689920
God, Mifune is so aesthetic (no homo). They really need to scan him into a Yakuza game, like they did with that one dead actor in Onimusha 2.
>Virtua Fighter Pachinko
Even when it's not luck, it's still luck.
>>376691386
>Everyone rants about Pachinko being a pain in the ass
>Play it once in 4
>Hit 5500 in one game.
Did I just get really lucky or something? I kept getting jackpots every 100 or so spins. Everyone made it out to be something horrendously bad. I don't get how Japanese people lose their life to this though, the payout is horrendous and the game takes forever.
yakuza characters don't look white though
>>376687981
both Kiryu and Majima look Japanese to me
>>376691610
It's a shitposting thread, just roll with it while still discussing Yakuza.
>>376688667
with those eyes definitely not

Has anyone else gone from completely hating Mahjong to absolutely loving it? I went and grabbed 6's demo again just to play the most modern version of it.
>That moment when you have three other people in Riichi alongside you and you pull the Tsumo.
Nothing better.
>>376694969
I've still got no idea how to play it
>>376687039
must be a mongolian rape baby
>>376694969
I've no fucking clue how it works.
I'm playing the first one, it's fucking amazing. I love it (aside from the horrible combat, fuck that Majima fight), but I don't want to buy a PS3 AND a PS4 for the later games. Is there any chance of the PS3 games going on Playstation Now?
>>376695169
>>376695397
The very basic idea is to build a hand of four groups of three (Either in sequential order eg 1, 2, 3 of the same type of tile, or the same tile three times eg peacock 3,3,3) and then two of the same tiles of any kind. You want to stay away from Chi, Pon, and Kan if you can help it since they reveal your hand which drops your point gain significantly, and with every turn press square to see if you can Riichi. Pay attention to the enemy discard piles to make sure you're not building a hand that has a really low chance of resolving (For example, 2 and 4 of peacock are in your hand so you need a 3 of peacock but in the opponent's discards you notice three of them already thrown out). If you can, make sure you keep the dragon (Green kanji), whatever the red 中 symbol is called, or the white tile unless there's too many in the discards because they net you extra points if they're in your winning hand as a double or triple match. You can use the different winds (The different black Kanji) if you want but I usually pitch them since it's tough to make hands with them and they usually just fill up your hand.
When you call Riichi you can either Ron when someone discards a tile you need to win which turns your hand into an open one dropping the points you get but you win the hand and it takes points from the person you took the tile from, or you can hold out for a Tsumo which means you draw a tile that wins the round and gives you points from everyone.
The tiles in the center of the field are just Dora tiles which give you extra points if your hand contains one of the tiles shown there.
It's a pain in the ass and makes no sense at first, it took about eight hours to click for me but once it did it's really fun, just make sure you stick to the really low paying tables because the higher ones are ruthless and cheat with how often they Riichi. Koi Koi is the same kind of deal, I can play that game all day now.
>>376695510
PS3 emulation is doing great progress. Ps Now removed all their ps3 games
>>376690059
What's with Sega's sudden fetish for releasing more Yakuza games over here? I'm not complaining, just wondering why it's so sudden when only a few years ago they avoided the series like the fuck plague.
>>376695510
play 2 first, you'll get 30+ hours out of it easy. then buy a PS3, seriously. if you enjoy 1, you will LOVE 3/4/5. a used PS3 slim costs about $80-120. the games are a bit on the expensive side physically ($30-50 for 3/4). I think you can get 4 digitally now though, and 5 is digital only anyway.
>>376695829
I would assume Yakuza 5 sold well enough and Sony kept pestering them about it because their fans would not stop requesting them whenever Sony asked what people wanted to see. 0 looked like it was a gamble that heavily paid off in the end, and Kiwami and 6 were just along for the ride. I also believe one of the guys trying to get them localized in the first place loves the series and wanted to see more people play it.
>>376695781
I checked the website for that PS3 emulator and it said that none of the Yakuza games even load (aside from 1 + 2 HD, but that doesn't really matter). Even then, the first one lags sometimes on my PC, but maybe that's just the emulator's fault.
>>376695850
I'm definitely playing 2, I didn't mean to imply otherwise. The problem is that I don't want to buy two consoles for one series, even if I really want to play the games.
I'm looking forward to playing 3, if I decide to get a PS3.
>>376696027
>The problem is that I don't want to buy two consoles for one series, even if I really want to play the games.
Well, you get 5 games on the PS3 and 4 on the PS4 so I think that's worth it, plus all the other exclusives that come with the consoles.
>>376695717
I don't think any of what you said is real.
It's all gibberish
>No walkman in the English version
Is it too much to at least hear Majima and Kiryu's songs?
Speaking of Yakuza 0, this game really brings out my inner perfectionist.
I mostly always handle the bosses well, but I get really annoyed if I fuck some parts of them up and get my ass kicked. Like even if I beat bosses pretty convincingly, if I run out of heat (I generally don't want to use items mid-fight since it feels cheap) and get knocked on the floor a couple of times in a row it really bugs me.
>>376696119
I know it sounds like gibberish but trust me man, that gibberish works. The game is basically an insane man's version of Poker meets Uno.

Cmon moose.
>>376698704
It introduces all new characters with no backstory, it doesn't expect you to know anything of the previous games outside of maybe Hamazaki but Haruka explains everything about him anyway and the people Kiryu knows he blatantly explains who they are, and it's confined entirely to Kamuro. It's definitely better than 3 as a start that's for sure.

>>376699345
>I couldn't follow what was going on by the end of it.Munakata was basically in control of the Tojo clan and the police. The police were using dirty money to build prisons for Yakuza specifically that were off the books and putting Yakuza they needed killed or just out of the way into them. Munakata wanted to police to continue being higher than the Yakuza and keeping them in check by essentially threatening Daigo constantly and threatening far more crackdowns and raids on Yakuza-run businesses. The hit was to cause infighting between the Ueno Seiwa clan and Sasai's clan so that Katsuragi could come out of it nicely and rise up the ranks essentially being the right-hand man of Munakata in the Tojo clan.The endgame money bit was to do two things: Draw out everyone who conspired in the plot with Munakata and to also draw out those in the Yakuza who needed the money. Daigo was there because the Tojo clan was falling to shambles due to infighting and his terrible leadership ever since 3. Kido was there to...I think it was something regarding a dream in the Tojo but I can't remember what the hell it was despite seeing it three times. I can't remember what Arai's goal was either, I think it was to also stay high in the ranks of the Tojo and run it his own way. Munakata was there because he needed the dossier that implicated corruption in the police and to also kill those who knew of all his cover ups, the money was just a bonus.
I'd say 3 is my least favorite so far but it's still fun, however the demo of 6 has me really worried about that one.
>Oh, and Tanimura's awful final boss fight.
On my Ex-Hard and Normal runs I just handed him the Golden Pistol, that fight is awful.
>Let's just throw fifteen enemies at a guy who only has one Heart move that can hit two enemies, give them bloated Hp bars, and have Munakata shooting at you from the background while his bodyguard runs at you to bodyslam you every five seconds.

So I'm guessing we're not gonna get Kenzan or Ishin, and Sega will just go straight for Y7 when that comes? Or will the Western 0 sales maybe affect something?
>>376700735
Kenzan is a lost cause since the PS3 is basically done now in the west. You gotta hope our resident translation patch guy can manage to find a translator for the substories, items, hostesses, revelations, minigames, and story options not chosen in KHHSubs videos. Even if it did have a chance though there main story itself has child prostitution (Both from Haruka and the girls in the brothel Musashi visits) on top of substories having some of the girls trying to escape from them or trying to escape men harassing them. You also have one guy who tries to rape or at least molest Haruka before it gets broken up by I think Musashi. I'm not sure how that would fly over here just from the ESRB, let alone people having a fit.
Ishin is still up in the air but I wouldn't hold out hope. If it happens that's great but signs aren't really pointing to it being localized so far.
>>376701224
Well fuck, I guess I should just dream about an eventual Ishin then, though if it's not announced this year at PSX or whatever, I doubt it's ever coming
>>376701475
Everyone's said KHHSubs' text guide helps you understand the story and what you're doing so not all is lost. You even get stuff in the western release of Y0 if you have an Ishin save file which I thought was neat.
For those of you who played 4 did you also get a Gion Bell from the start for having save data from 3 or did it just hand you the Sunshin Belly Warmer?
>>376700330
Arai wanted to take over the police and use it to enact his own justice.
Kido was the one who stole Akiyama's money in the first place and he wanted answers to why Arai betrayed him.
>>376702590
>and he wanted answers to why Arai betrayed himI know what Kido did but he also talks about following his dream during the fight with Saejima which I have no recollection what his dream actually was. He just says he saw the money there and he had to take it while Saejima is preparing himself. Did Kido just want all the money?
