Heaven Angel Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) RISE LIKE A DRAGON Ichiban Kasuga, a low-ranking grunt of a low-ranking yakuza family in Tokyo, faces an 18-year prison sentence after taking the fall for a crime he didn't commit. Never losing faith, he loyally serves his time and returns to society to discover that no one was waiting for him on the outside, and his clan has been destroyed by the man he respected most. Ichiban sets out to discover the truth behind his family's betrayal and take his life back, drawing a ragtag group of society’s outcasts to his side: Adachi, a rogue cop, Nanba, a homeless ex-nurse, and Saeko, a hostess on a mission. Together, they are drawn into a conflict brewing beneath the surface in Yokohama and must rise to become the heroes they never expected to be.

KnackChap Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 f**king hell. Combat is going to be turn based ONLY. Don't know if the April 1st footage was a joke or today's announcement is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it's in a particular game mode or mini game. Although I quite like turn based combat as well but I don't think it'll ever translate well to yakuza.

Lol exactly the same feeling!! Hopefully this is just a bonus mode or something or RGG Studios patch in actual action based combat!! There are series where turn based combat is fun. But the action style gameplay - especially with combat styles is damn fun in Yakuza. Don't want to see Turn based gameplay here of all places. Oh well - will still buy it. I always like Yakuza stories, sub-stories, side content and exploring the city/cities. But just a tad disappointed with this decision. And who knows - RGG might just hit it out of the park with this one. Gameplay has been the same for the past 7 main games + the 4-5 side games. They've tried tons of things from styles to multiple characters. So the change might just get their creativity flowing and they might just make it an amazing experience - even better than the old games!!

Yakuza for me is a combination of Over the top action + Weird side stories + Unique characters. I am not a fan of turn based combat because I suck at it and gets bored easily. If this turn out to be a really good game, I will miss out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 While I do love turn based, I don't think it suits for Yakuza. Should be option/mini-game instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roun90 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) @b!T @Joe Cool While I think so too, I wouldn't get too worried. There is a lot of time for the Western Release. If the turn-based combat is not well received in RGG Studio's main Markets (Japan/China/Korea), we might see the action gameplay patch by the time of the Western Release (With it being released as a free patch for the native markets). I agree, with Yakuza's graphical style - turn based gameplay does not match at all. But I kinda understand where RGG Studios is coming from as well. They said they wanted to try something new. And it's understandable after developing the franchise for around 14 years with 6 main-line games and around 4 spin-offs (Ishin, Kenzan, Dead Souls and Judgement). Add in Yakuza 0 and the 2 Remake Games (Kiwami 1 and Kiwami 2). That's 13 Games over 14 years - almost 1 new game per year. I'm not even counting the remasters (3,4 and 5 HD). And almost all having the same gameplay - no wonder they got bored and wanted to try something new. Edited August 29, 2019 by roun90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
