what would be a good name for this genre, and why are other developers

It's called a beat 'em up.

It's too video game-y

>>376994396
>it's called a beat em up

Nah, streets of rage is a beat em up. There are way too many other things to yakuza for that term

Variety game?

>>376994124
Yakuza 0 is a JRPG

Developers are scared of making games like it because it carters to gamers and is not a movie game

/thread

>>376994658
ok a beat em up with rpg elements

>>376994658
It's literally just a beat 'em up with light JRPG elements

There is functionally nothing different in the core gameplay between Yakuza and River City Ransom

>>376994124
It's an Action JRPG, Devil Summoner is similar.

am i the only one who is getting kinda tired of these new fans of yakuza

sandbox action

>>376994736
>not a movie game
I love Yakuza but the series has some LONG ass cutscenes and dialogue sections where you literally do nothing but press X to advance dialogue. Some of the ones in Yakuza 3 go on for well over 20 minutes.

>>376994826

So you want your franchise to die?

if yakuza is a jrpg, then so is dark souls

>>376994880
a couple less fags in the west buying the game wouldn't make yakuza die dipshit

>>376994826
Don't worry, they'll immediately turn on the series as soon as a new thinkpiece about how problematic it is comes out

Remember that everyone is pretending how much they love Yakuza now and that Yakuza 0 somehow magically improved gameplay even though the series has literally played the same since Yakuza 3

I loved Yakuza but at times it was a bit creepy and I could not play it with my gf in the same room

Literally "tch, I was listening to this song before it was introduced to all you kiddies" youtube comment tier post, mate

Op here

i feel the exact same way but they did make improvements to gameplay from 3-5

>>376994967
>being a faggot
What did you hide, anon?

>>376995018
why would you even question it if you've played since the ps2 titles?
>>376995009
you got me i think people who get into games super late into the franchise are probably posers half the time

>>376994967
What was the "creepy content" you had to avoid?

>>376994790
and since every game in the world borrows from RPGs now (call of duty, Vermintide, Deus Ex) You can really just firmly put it in a strange area of "kind of sandbox beat em up"

>>376995097
call of duty has rpg elements in it?
i thought it was a rootie tootie point and shootie game

>>376994124
River city like
Beat em up with rpg elements and a shit ton of extra mini games.

>>376994124
Am I the only one who whises that they would make the cabaret club game for mobiles. With more girls and shit to upgrade for your club. It would be the perfect toilet game for me.

>>376995532
i had enough of that shit in 4 the little tweaks for 0 were cool but i'm 100% burnt out on that minigame

>>376995084
Weird telephone games and speaking to those hostesses

Pretty creepy, hope they don't have that in Kiwami. It is not ok and pretty sexist

>>376995565
at least your bait was original i guess can't say that very often on /v/

>>376994124
It's called Action JRPG moron

>>376995667
he might be a dummy but at least he didn't answer a question that was already answered you dipshit

>>376995304
In the multiplayer you earn XP to upgrade your class, there's perks and shit. It doesn't seem like RPG elements because it's cowadooty but fundamentally it's there.

Kenzan and Ishin are some of the best games about Samurais out there.
Are you gonna miss them because you're afraid of some moon runes?

name a single fanbase that isn't shitty and then i might humor you
spoiler alert you're the shitty part of the fanbase

>>376994941
Y0 gameplay was changed since you have 4 styles instead of 1 and crowds/knives/guns are actually really dangerous in it.

Thanks to the second change, Jingu is now the hardest boss in the entire series

They totally should make a current gen river city ransom. And i don't mean some shitty 3ds remake. A regular third person game with modern graphics, it could copy yakuza for all i care. Then we would've come full circle i guess

>>376994790
there is nothing light about yakuza's RPG elements

it has everything you'll ever see in an RPG and more

>>376996245
but people who like river city ransom don't want that so shove it up your ass and fuck off

>>376996217
rising zan needs a fucking sequel already

>>376996224
>name a single fanbase that isn't shitty and then i might humor you
Are you really so fucking stupid? I explained the same point in 3 different ways and you are still posting something totally unrelated to my post.

>you're the shitty part of the fanbase
>no u
Please point out how I'm part of the shitty part of this fanbase and then I might humor you .
Inb4 a series of ad hominen posted to try to save face mixed with other wannabe elitist ravings.

>>376996459
but could you name me a single none shitty fanbase

>>376994124
it's JRPG
and now Yu Suzuki makes Shenmue 3
it will be shit tho
