You could not have Judgment without the initial, warming embrace of your aniki Kiryu. His support lead us all to this moment, and gives us the courage to play that man who does indeed gently caress.

I'm really glad to hear Judgment has a main character that is substantially different from Kiryu.

Akiyama and Majima gently caress. :colbert:

Separately, I mean, not each other. Well, except in my fanfic...

Just completed the intro, and I'm all in on Judgment. Already miss Kiryu. Can't wait to see Yagami's story.

I feel like the finale of Chapter 2 does a lot to show that while Yagami is a cool dude, he's much more of a normal guy than Kiryu, I like it!

I know what you mean, but I'm thinking about the part right after the bit you mean and laughing at the idea of that as 'normal'.

I noticed a patch went up today, it better make the OP play at the start of each chapter.

I hate Puyo Puyo so very, very much. How the hell is the completion point for Beat Every Rival a silver when most of them require winning 3-4 times in a row against these shitheads to even get a chance at them and the Win 30 Times one a Gold?

I would probably enjoy playing with a friend, not so much against an AI that will drop a three/four chain combo, then another one literally two or three drops later, then another one after that.

Is Judgment supposed to take place before or after Yakuza 6? I thought I read somewhere this takes place in between 5 and 6

It's after 6, seeing as how the murders take place in 2018. You'll note that Little Asia is being rebuilt after Yuta burnt it down in the last game :v:

Man, I'm so hyped that Judgement is out. I thought it wasn't coming out until next year or something, but then suddenly saw that it was released today.

One cool thing that surprised me is that the protagonist is played by Kimura Takuya (or Kimutaku as he's known by fans). That dude was in a number of J-Dramas (because he was in SMAP) that I watched back in high school, like Long Vacation*, Beautiful Life, Love Generation, etc.

Yeah that entire sequence was both :thatsrad: and :krad: at the same time and I was completely marking out over it

Also thank god I've been looking for cats in every investigation sequence, apparently there was a trophy for it and I haven't missed a single one, because of course I'm going to look for a cat if I can hear one.

I'm always looking for the cats in Y6 but there's also a friendly cat that hangs around my house and meows at people, and things get a bit nerve wracking.

If a tailing mission requires you to wear a disguise and you pick anything other than Bram-sama's disguise then you're playing Judgment for all the wrong reasons. :colbert:

Beat the Yakuza 6 story last night ending my 10 month long run of numbered Yakuza playthroughs. Might just take this time to go back and round out substories from the Yakuza games and maybe get the platinum for 6 until Judgement goes on sale.

I've heard people complain about the end of 6, but the only thing that annoyed me about it was the death fake-outs, becuase I saw them coming which negated the emotional impact. It's a trope that's been driven into the ground.

Having played all the numbered games I feel obligated to rank them (best to least best): 0, 5, 6, K2, 3, K1, 4. If 6 had a coliseum it would probably be number 2.

I continued playing for a bit to see what the post game offered and was happy to see the Ono Michio outfit available which led to this moment. Picture is a bit low quality due to being a screencap from a streamed video:

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

Motor Raid is a curious little mini-game and I appreciate it being added by the merits of it being the very first time this weird obscure Sega AM2 arcade game has ever seen a console release but it's really simple and easy. I finished the objectives for it in a single sitting and won every race except the very last stage (and still got an S ranking).

Fighting Vipers drove me mad at times and it took like half an hour but it's neat to see it in HD.

Is there any way to turn off the tooltips in Judgment? Even though I've put in around 5 or so hours into the game, the same few keep popping up every few minutes and it's pretty annoying.

You can get items from them, apparently; I got a Staminan from someone in the Cafe Alps break room after befriending the manager there. So far all I've heard at the public ones is regular NPC chatter, but for the hangouts associated with specific businesses it seems like you have to make friends first.
