Menus on the outside of the restaurant are pretty common here in Texas too. Of course these days most restaurants have menus online so anyone with a smartphone can pull them up easy from far away. You can’t easily charge somebody with assaulting a dead man, even with video footage. In America, I don’t know about Japan, it’s required you have clear proof the assault was not approved by the victim, ie they’re alive and pressing charges. Charging separate people for assault on the victim also creates reasonable doubt when you arrest and charge the murderer. The worst we can get Hamura on with that footage alone is creating a public disturbance and that’s going to be too petty a charge for most prosecutors. The biggest reason to keep Hamura out of jail right now is story of course. Yagami has to investigate the murders and he can’t easily question a suspect in police custody who’s already been deemed guilty if he’s no longer acting as their lawyer or lawyer’s agent. That, and we need a visible antagonist to build tension. The Mole has to remain in the shadows right now, so it can’t be him. Btw, lock picking is a lot easier if you do it from right to left. achtungnight fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Aug 30, 2019 |

This video is really making me appreciate how well Judgement works as a spinoff. I've seen some complaining that Judgement is too similar to Yakuza, but I'm not feeling that from watching the gameplay (though of course, watching doesn't get across the actual feel of playing a game). If this dungeon was in a Yakuza game, the introductory cutscene would just show Kiryu rolling up to the building in a rage, issuing some sufficiently badass challenge to the occupants, and then fighting his way up to wherever Seiya's sister is stashed, kicking down any locked doors in his way. And you buy it, because the series has been presenting Kiryu as a Yakuza legend from the very first game. But Judgement's gameplay gives Yagami a sneakier, smarter feel. He picks locks or disguises himself to get access, instead of kicking down doors. He usually works with a network of people, rather than operating by himself. And though he's more than capable of throwing down, he's notably wary of fighting large numbers of people by himself--y'know, like almost everyone would be. Even though Yagami's story is set in the same place with the same tone as the Yakuza games, he operates in such a distinct way from Kiryu that he differentiates Judgement from the mainline series. I have developed a real soft spot for the world of the Yakuza series, so it's pretty cool to see that same world under a different lens.

The thing I'm surprised didn't come up again was the manager at Amour mentioning that it looked like Hamura and company were softballing their beating of Kume. Kind of seems suspicious that they'd have deliberately given the guy a perfunctory beating and then left Hamura alone to talk with an officer from an invading yakuza clan.

Depending on how good you are at combat, large medkits may come in handy against certain bosses we won’t see for a while.Thankfully you’ll probably be able to afford them by the time the bosses in question show up. I think the voice actor that narrates the recaps is the same guy who voices Genda the senior attorney. Not sure of his resume but maybe he’s narrated before? The doctor in Kamurocho in previous Yakuza games, Emoto, was also a former university doctor. He had his own office on Suppon Street, though. If you recall the opening of Chapter 1, the guy who took our phone this video was doing parkour backwards.

The Bar Tender Side Cases actually start becoming available next chapter. But yeah, we can get them from Saori, our office bulletin board, and certain spots on the streets from this point on. This was just one of many mandatory side cases. And yeah it does stand out for its dullness now that I think about it. Heh.

This is kinda late, but I suspect the reason why Little Asia is called "Little Asia" and not just "Chinatown" is because it's inhabited by people from all over the continent. I'm drawing on other games here so I don't want to go into detail, but there's plenty of folks from places other than China, so "Little Asia" is a more accurate name. Gotta admit, now I'm kinda curious what the literal translation of the district's Japanese name is. On a side note, why does Yagami call Kaito "Kaito-san"? Isn't that pretty formal for old friends?

Yeah, the pinball in here is terrible and not fun at all. I don’t think the port translated very well. Oh well, I don’t play this series for the mini games, even though the occasional gem is nice. Kenta Kasai is voiced by Arif S Kinchen. He’s a well known voice actor with a lot on his resume. The biggest video game role is probably Pierce from the Saints Row series. I’ll let you look him up on Wikipedia or IMDb for the rest. His victim, Kim, is voiced by James Hong, whose acting resume is also pretty long. Fans of Sleeping Dogs might remember him as Uncle Po, and he’s done a lot of action flicks besides that in Hong Kong and Hollywood both.

Geemer posted:16 I didn’t notice any tearing or skipping either. I was watching on an iPhone if that matters. Drone Racing- I’ll correct you on a few things. Drone racing may be a spiritual successor to Pocket Circuit but it’s very different. If you have the right parts in PC you’re pretty much guaranteed a win in most courses. Drone Racing, you actually got to control the thing, go fast, handle sharp turns, and deal with progressively stronger opponents. When you go through a full Grand Prix, you’ll see how hard it can get. You can still continue the overall Grand Prix to the finish even if you fail a race. You just need to finish first overall to advance to the next level. There’s Beginner, Amateur, Regular, Expert, and Champion. The first four levels are five races, Champion is 10. The DLC parts are helpful but ultimately they won’t get you through the race as much as skill will. They’re all just unique frames with the highest capacity and durability anyway- the Champion Level opponents are just as strong and there are no DLC parts that directly affect your Handling or Speed. You’re also ok if you come in 2nd or even 4th on a few races, you just gotta be first overall to win. 1st place in a race is 10 points, tying gets you highest place too. So you just need 36-40 points to win each level. There are of course in-game trophies for time trials and winning every single course on Champion Grand Prix, but that’s harder than just winning the League overall. You’re right that quitting and saving after each race in a Grand Prix is key. I still haven’t finished the Champion Level myself, this is one of the mini games I’m not really into. Parts and some skill got me that far, it takes more skill than I have to finish. Plenty of people out there have finished though. I’ll await the video where you check out the mini game in depth to congratulate you on getting there. If you’re not actually planning one, fine, it’s your LP. Thankfully, like getting a pinball score of 500+, becoming drone racing champ isn’t necessary to beat Judgment. It’s just one more activity with in-game trophies that can be very fun or frustrating in this game. And, yeah, the people who are bothering that poor girl in the side case you showed off and it’s follow-ups need serious psychological help.

Sounds like the video tearing thing might be a hardware issue? I get stuff like that a lot at work where I have to figure out why a webpage isn't as responsive for customers as it is for us in the dev room and the answer is almost always "their hardware sucks."  achtungnight posted:I still haven’t finished the Champion Level myself, this is one of the mini games I’m not really into.

If I do end up doing a full Drone Racing League thing, it'll probably be later in the game when I have more cash to throw around. The folks in the Yakuza thread in games had me wary of it from the word go so there is a nonzero chance I might bite the bullet on that DLC pack for this.

Up to you if you want the DLC frames- they’re good for durability at least. So your drone can survive more crashes. But you’re not going to win Champion Level races if you’re constantly bumping into things. The in game available parts and skill will get you through either way. Spoilers for how it goes- Each Racing Level unlocks more parts. You just need to get through the levels to unlock parts, but you’ll need to win to advance so if you want to test things out, then get the better parts and come back it’s ok. Some cool parts are only available in Chapter 6 when you get the QuickStarter crowdfunding mini game unlock. The ultimate parts are all unlocked in Chapter 2, but getting them is a hassle. You can meet a Friend after winning the Beginner Grand Prix who tells you he’s placed 50 QR codes around Kamurocho. Get 10 codes to unlock each part (there’s a QuickStart deal to help with this too, and many online guides for it). Even then you’ll need lots of money and materials only available as Gambling Prizes to construct each part, so yeah, you may want to wait till late game. One casino unlocks in Chapter 2, but it just has paint as prizes. The high-end wire, plastic, etc you’ll need for the high-end drone parts is at the other casino unlocked in Chapter 5. Where the DLC comes in is that each part has a cost but each frame can only handle so much total cost. But the ultimate QR Code frames only have 50 durability even with maximum total cost- you can max out speed with them but one crash and you’re out. DLC frames have maxed total cost and durability. They also look cool- a steampunk drone, a realistic pigeon, a cat, and an UFO. But again if you’re crashing constantly you won’t win the Champion Races. It’s a lot of mechanics to deal with. The friend quest you get for finishing the Beginner Drone Race Grand Prix (find all 50 drone QR Codes) is mandatory for earning the last side case and fighting the game’s secret boss. Otherwise it’s all optional. Good luck. achtungnight fucked around with this message at 05:02 on Sep 14, 2019 |

Speaking as A Girl, I actually found the Panty Professor to be pretty funny. It's too absurd to take very seriously, and most of the grossness comes from the perv you beat up. Part of it is also the studio, I think--RGG Studios often throws a few risque sidequests into their games, and like Panty Professor here the scenarios are so ludicrous that I always come away giggling. It helps that the punchline typically boils down to "MC reacts to the weirdos of Kamurocho" rather than just "lol pantsu." Yosuke can go jump in a lake, though.

I think the translators had a field day, that's what.As a whole, for me the Yakuza games tended to see-saw back and forth between "Wow, this is a lot more progressive than I expected in a mainstream vidya game aimed at older men" to "OH GOD WHY WAS THAT NECESSARY." It does help that the worst stuff was almost always optional content that a female gamer can easily ignore, whereas the stuff that I love (well developed female characters who are respected by the narrative) were part of the main plotlines. Judgement shares enough DNA with Yakuza that I wouldn't be surprised if this pattern shows up here, too, but I don't know enough about the game to say.

Yeah, definitely avoid giant traffic cones. The creepy chuckles coming from inside them is a dead giveaway as to why. This was a fun case. One of a few that pays off mostly in endearing you to our hero, showing off his good heart. Oh, and you don’t have to tell the client where the girl is to finish the case. If you talk to him, say you forgot, then go back and talk to the girl again, she’ll give you more details about her stalker and confirm his identity. Then it turns out he followed you! From there it resolves the same. Oh, and as long as you’re demonstrating EX actions, I should mention my two favorites involve throwing a guy at moving cars... You demonstrated one in the video but there’s another. I think you need to throw him into the side of a moving car. Hope you demonstrate it at some point. achtungnight fucked around with this message at 09:28 on Sep 18, 2019 |

An indoor fishing pond sounds like a cool business idea. No more maintenance than the average aquarium. Of course, you'd want people to do catch and release unless you had a high supply of fish and even then they pay extra to keep what they catch. In game, there are 2 EX moves you can do that concern the pond. Both are fun, but you usually have to get guys to chase you into Koi Bride to do them. If you aren't lucky enough to get one in a story fight there, that is. The move you didn't show off is a bit more fun. I think you just have to have the guy facing the other way when you grab him to trigger it. There's a trophy for earning 300 or more chips at the tables in this first chance to gamble. Poker is my game of choice here too. Of course, there is an in-game exploit for Blackjack that'll earn you a lot of money if you trigger it. I'll let people google it if they're curious.  If you let the clock run down in the Bomber Side Cases (there's more than one, if it wasn't obvious), you'll be given a rather blatant hint where the bomb is at the halfway point. Then you can pick one of two places to go. Not sure what happens if you pick the wrong one.
