YAKUZA CONTENT CREATORS RANK GAMES TOGETHER || RGG Cast Ep.6

[@devilleon7]

Don't watch this in one sitting... (Also, terribly sorry about all the windows sounds throughout the video, my mouse was tweaking)

[@orthomint]

Challenge accepted

[@gun_toucher_LLC]

7 and a half hours is a mighty meal to work through, thank you

[@justarandombluebird8222]

ARE YOU CHALLENGING ME LEON

[@vietorytran]

Let's do it! Get your snacks 🧇, moon cakes 🥮, and tea 🍵, comrades! 😄

[@xtr.7662]

7:30 is crazy dawg

[@Tybell702]

Snowiest couldn't be here today because he would've talked for an extra 3 hours on how much he hates the saejima section in Yakuza 5

[@Nekomon.]

And an extra 10 of him shilling lost judgement.

[@judgementkazzer]

"You're all wrong" -

[@FlameOfUdun96]

SEVEN AND A HALF HOURS???? We thank you for this bountiful feast, Leon 🙏

[@Deepslash03]

snowiest would've extended this video by talking for 1 hour uninterrupted about how based Lost Judgment is.

[@hadinasrallah8928]

Also 30 mins extra for shinada glazing

[@FredMaverik]

And it would have been amazing, pls bring him for the next

[@blondeboi2132]

Eh, it's an alright game

[@shoryu87]

Akiyamas final fight with kanai and his goons was a great moment for me as well. I liked the title :end of rematch, I liked the theme, the cold atmosphere before Xmas, Akiyama wanting to be a legend like kiryu and the other yakuza groups bowing to him

[@BrunoSantos-gi1sr]

this is one of the only podcasts i watch, and I'm not a big podcast guy. thanks for putting this together

[@devilleon7]

Aww thanks for choosing us! ❤

[@groenboys]

2:35:45 "Haruka has movement tech" I will print this quote and put it on my wall

[@Froobs]

All I know is that after years of complaining about Fist of the North Star i'm gonna get some flak for my rating... Massive thanks to Devilleon and Gokudoni for this. Was super fun to just crash and talk one of our favourite series and what we liked and didn't like. We could EASILY do a podcast episode along on every single game with how much we had to say!

[@devilleon7]

Don't worry, we all got that one game 🤣🤣 Thank you so much for giving so much of your time for this! Would love to do more down the line 🙏🙏

[@Froobs]

@@devilleon7 100%. I wonder if there's...Any kind of event soon that we could talk about... 🤔

[@Defhinitely]

"God I hate this game so much" It seemed like you bottled it up for too long for this one. XD

[@KasugaIchi]

We will be watching the whole video at .25x speed

[@devilleon7]

Nahhh bro is tweaking

[@retro.7673]

“And so much more”….hmmm SO MUCH MORE?😳😭IS THAT A YAKUZA REFERENCE???

[@Alex169o]

Devilleon7 the movie: (saejima stare cut edition)

[@chariotgoblin8060]

*Baba chan...*

[@isaiahfojtasek7768]

57:40 I think I get what Gokudoni is saying and I kinda agree. If you examine it, Y4's story should be the most important narrative in the series with everything that it sets up and with how it ends. But then it just isn't.

[@TheHiddenOne690]

7 hours?!! If you think i'm watching the whole 7 hours, then don't think again, because I am!

[@ParaDoxical775]

Hidden one??? Didn't expect you here. Honestly if you think about it, AC and Yakuza have some similarities if you think abt it.

[@AndrewoftheAlps]

It's Yakuza time on your channel too, fren. AC fans MUST hover over to Yakuza

[@chiko6484]

holy moly a yakuza video longer than the tehsnakerer yakuza 5 video

[@Stefano.C]

Tehsnakerer will now outdo Leon 😂

[@weepingblade]

Speaking of which, if he had Tehsnakerer on my RGG youtuber collab bucket list would come true. ​@@Stefano.C

[@FireCrewGAMING]

@@weepingblade Leon I know you're reading this, MAKE IT HAPPEN OR I'LL CRACK OUT THE WHIP

[@sawt32]

7+ Hour video😮. We eating good tonight

[@UndyingHatred_]

Fr tho.

[@darknesswave100]

This type of video is one of my personal favorites. It's getting people together to discuss a series so you can get different perspectives which is always interesting. It shows how different people enjoy different things which is always nice to see Edit: you guys made a great point about opinions in general that I really wish other people understood. Opinions are subjective. I loathe Yakuza 5. I'll say it till my tongue falls out. However, if somebody comes up to me and says it's their favorite game in the series then that's perfectly fine with me. Everybody enjoys things in their own way. I can say I love the dubs of judgment and lost judgment cause it has some of my favorite voice actors in it like Crispin Freeman and Steve Blum. We all enjoy things in our own way. I just wish other people would realize that

[@weepingblade]

This style of era for youtube content is perfect for your channel, ive been glad seeing you branch out in variety of content over the years.

[@Flawcreek]

Its crazy how you got Froob and Gokudoni in a call for practically 8 hours Leon LOL

[@Haider-0245]

Hmmmm 7 and half hours of content until the mini summit starts Good timing!

[@ShadowedAgony]

This channel really is such a treat for RGG fans. From the bottom of my heart thank you and I hope y'all do a break down of Pirate

[@Dougwalker-oz9zt]

This is going to go crazy at work, thanks big man, keep it up!

[@axeoseilez3207]

Dead souls enjoyer here. I actually watched another streamer i enjoy play dead souls. Unforunately hes on the i hate dead souls train. He played it on a og ps3. And honestly everytime he ripped on it, it hurt me i love that game as much as i do Yakuza 3. His name is Ray Navarez Jr. Honestly id love to see you interview him on a future episode of the podcast. Not just to argue in defense of the most overhated rgg game. But it would be interesting to hear you both discuss why you like certain Yakuza games. Plus hes friends with froob so im sure he could arrange something.

[@joryuhabibi]

WOW 7 AND A HALF HOURS OF COOKING. GREAT JOB LEON

[@BroleeTM]

This was one of the best episodes I have ever seen by you Leon, thanks for making this❤❤🎉 (I really hoped snowy made it)

[@leonardosa_a]

And SO MUCH MORE? Like in that world wide famous song of that world wode famous Idol Haruka Sawamura!?!?!?!??!!?

[@devilleon7]

Exactly like that!

[@themojogamer75]

Gokudoni's passion for Kurohyo makes me really wanna play through it, seriously.

[@obafrog]

Omfg this is literally perfect, I can watch this tomorrow then the day will already be over then I can sleep then it'll be time for RGG Summit!!!!!

[@GarliccDread]

I haven't finished the Kurohyou games yet, but Kurohyou 2 has undoubtedly the best version of Yakuza Mahjong I've played. It shows you a lot more info about your hand before each round ends, plus you get to do a crazy laser attack on someone when you call Ron. I'm bummed that this is unique only to this game because the extra info about the hand you're building is very helpful.

[@tsunderemerc2963]

It's amazing that a game series like this doesn't really have an entry that's universally considered bad, there's at least very strong upsides to the weaker entries

[@xkaosdark]

7.5 hours. Wow, insane. Well, this will be my longest watched video once i finish it. Thank you, Leon.

[@djmexicanodetx2195]

Yakuza 3 holds a special place in my heart! It was one of the first games I purchased on Ps3.

[@DH_29]

Devillorn7 thank you for making my days ❤

[@chariotgoblin8060]

Leon, you are spoiling us. Thank you🙏

[@SarmInTheHat7030]

I love games like judgment lost paradise kurohyou etc etc cause it really shows when RGG does something different they go all the way like despite all the flaws ( which has more than others) it really fascinating how they take the same formula and something completely new

[@swapniljoshi99]

Love this video, not all the way through but just got through the LJ part. Wanna leave my two cents on Lost Judgment because I am one of those guys who won't shut up about it being the pinnacle of RGG anything. I understand why it may not jive with everyone, but that's true for any story under the sun. After all, stories are highly subjective and there is no true claimant to the title of "the best". Lost Judgment resonates with me in a way that very few pieces of fiction ever have, and it's mostly because of how scathing of a criticism it is of not only the government's systems, but also of society in general. This is something Infinite Wealth tried as well, with very mixed results. The effectiveness of Lost Judgment's plot hinges on what you think of bystander syndrome. It's easy to idly comment about any situation until it's happening right in front of us, and unfortunately, most of us would rather turn our gazes away. This is showcased very early on with Koda's bullies and how it acts as a microcosm of the entire story, from beginning to end. People are often too concerned about their own appearances than the right thing, and it permeates throughout the narrative. Kuwana realizes this and fully admits to it. It's what he weaponizes to justify his brand of vigilante justice, and what makes him so compelling is that the audience is more likely to empathise with him because of his almost altruistic motivations. He will admit his faults, but he does tend to hide behind this justification that anything he commits is a fault of the justice system. To an extent, he's right, as shown brilliantly in the court case with Ehara. He can defend *almost* everything he does and the consequences he has to face, except for Sawa's death. It's why Yagami repeats it ad nauseam; he knows nothing else would even faze Kuwana. It's why he doesn't bring up Akaike's death at Soma's hands more than once. Sawa's death is a symbol of why vigilante justice doesn't work; for one, vigilantes, even as skilled and careful as Kuwana, can't account for variables like Soma, the RK, and their ties to the government. For another, vigilante justice is often fuelled not by rational thoughts, but by strong emotions pertaining to the crime in question. It is inherently an irrational way of dealing with crime, which is one of the reasons why judicial systems need to exist. To some extent, Kuwana realises this, but he can't just accept his methods as wrong because the government and the judicial systems don't actually succeed in serving justice. It's a combination of the bystander syndrome, the existing systems' inability to properly act on atrocities and the shocking ease with which society is willing to sweep incidents like Ehara's under the rug. While his targets are reprehensible, Kuwana's methods are not exactly what you would call morally justifiable. He blackmails former bullies, leverages the grief of parents who have lost their children to suicide, and doles out what he considers to be a just fate for guys like Shinya Kawai. It's not a sustainable way of dealing with societal issues, let alone something that inspires a positive change in the society or the world as a whole. Sooner or later, his actions will catch up with him, and without Yagami around to defend him, Kuwana would have been dead in the water before Sawa. The sad thing is, Kuwana's views can't change until the judicial systems receive an overhaul or until people stop obsessing over posturing and do the right thing, and that's why his conflict with Yagami ends in a stalemate. Yagami can't fully convince Kuwana of the follies of his methods because the world is very far from achieving the type of justice that Yagami wishes to be the norm. It's why they fight at the end, and it's why Yagami has no choice but to let him go. Lost Judgment is not a logically perfect story, but it makes several poignant points that have stuck with me years after playing it. Its themes rival LAD's, and as far as social commentary goes, no other RGG title even comes close. Kuwana is the perfect antagonist, Soma is a great villain, and Yagami, despite being largely static in this story, acts as a great paragon antithesis to both of them. I love this game to bits, and I hope RGG does something similar thematically in the future.

[@DeanRGG]

I wish more people had the chance to read everything you typed here! LJ is the MGS2 of RGG’s games with how much can be analyzed from its not perfect but highly thought provoking concepts & execution

[@jojofan2551]

5:54:33 my theory is that a judgment 3 would be divided between yagami in Hawaii and kaito in sotenbori since we see him there in gaiden and i can't see rgg putting so much effort in to modernize it and then just leaving it there.

[@hackersky]

that's exactly what I thought it's gonna be, however I think kaito would suit hawaii even more, and he could be there with his family or something like that while yagami is in japan. Kaito was in sotenbori before lost judgment and he probably didn't come back there.

[@xtr.7662]

@@jojofan2551 they wont use hawaii for judgment pretty sure of that

[@JacopoBerzeatti10]

+7 hours video, that's rad

[@synthiandrakon]

The problem with rubber bullets is honestly not that its absurd, its that its bad, saejima is less interesting as a character with the knowledge that he didn't kill anyone

[@MikeJr9284]

A 7 hour video about Yakuza is the perfect way to kill time before the Summit.

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

Ah, just one more video before going to bed.

[@freak4219]

i hope gokudoni knows hes the only real one here for putting kurohyou 1 in S+

[@kennethshiro9500]

right off the bat I love that gokudoni appreciates the dub of Y1. It has close to if not the same charm of the Shenmue 1+2 dub. The same awkward pauses that need to happen because the mouth animations stop for the japanese... and of course the over the top swearing which was a localization choice that I think hurt the series in the west. i think kurylo and date's va did a pretty good job. I still quote y1 date to this day. "saya, i'm a horrible father... but try to have..... a little more respect for yourself"

[@luizalmeidaz]

4:35:56 i laughed so hard with the ''THERE ARE SO MANY FUCKING STAIRS IN THAT SHITTY ASS CITY'', i was just like gokudoni

[@BluSamuraii]

"Majima Saga is better than K2" Ok, now I know you're trolling Gokudoni

[@AlexAndersonJD]

What's crazy about the discussion about 3 is that I really dislike everything that isn't downtime with the kids. I thought the "Yakuza" plot was laughably convoluted even by Yakuza standards. I wish 3 was so much smaller scale from 1/2 and just in Okinawa. I like the idea of a land deed and protecting the kids but most of Kiryu's story would not have changed if it was a local slumlord or an upstart businessman with local Yakuza ties. Mine is a hard carry for the criminal plot of that game that is pretty bad imo and but for how well he was written and performed, Y3 would have an even worse reputation.

[@spareadam]

Just in time for us to have a good think about all the previous games before the summit

[@gun_toucher_LLC]

i came here primarily to hear about yakuza 6 (my first yakuza), which isnt *unfairly* criticized for its flaws but i also feel like it has some strong character moments for kiryu more than you got to get under his skin in 4 and 5. plus i love the vibe of onimichi and its and variety in scenery and verticality. my greatest dream is to be able to walk around these yakuza cities in VR one day and onimichi would be on the list. edit: the having every line voiced thing was novel but i wonder about the resources that took vs any of the other general gameplay and design decisions. all those conversations need to be blocked and framed etc. but as gokudoni is saying lots of great side activities if you're trying to play most or all of the game

Ok 7 hours is insane but I'll throw in my random opinion too. Personally 0 is my favorite. My second favorite is actually Fist of the North Star, I loved actually straight up killing people and the car. Also I enjoyed the change of setting and we actually got a decent game for one of my favorite anime. In terms of raw gameplay Lost Judgement is the best, you can pull off insane combos almost rivaling Devil May Cry.

Could someone explain to me what speedrun route Froob was pertaining to in the Yakuza 4 section (the RNG thing) i'm not too familiar with the speedrun scene in Yakuza!

[@Froobs]

Old route: 13 Revolvers was faster. To get the money for these we needed to do gambling. The quickest one (and easiest to set up) is Roulette. We get the Zero Jewel from Kotobuki Drugs before we go to the Millenium Tower in Kiryu 4-2. We then get all the money we need (100k for the chips) go through the Akiyama-Tanimura fight which is about 2 and a half hours into the run. You then go to the Purgatory Casino Hall and use the Zero Jewel to make it land on either 0 or 00. There's zero way to tell which it's going to land on. It's a literal 50/50 gamble 2 and a half hours into the almost 3 hour run. You win you can purchase 20 platinum plates to sell for over 3 million and then go purchase 13 guns New route: We buy baseball bats and go swinging. That simple lmao

[@ishii5861]

@@Froobs Straight from the source himself lmfao, thanks for explaining man been watching your VOD's too after I watched this video, currently watching your DR: Remastered VOD!

I sort of see where he's coming from, Mine's story wraps up with a nice bow on it, but Kuwana just walks away with no resolution to the pursuit of Yagami trying to get him to change his ways. It's an ending some may appreciate more than others.

[@boredodello9225]

@@devilleon7 It is an open ending and this one of many ways to write a ending for a specfic character/story so its not a negative thing when you wrote a open ending instead of clearly conclusion ending , but gokudoni pretending like it was a bad narrative lmao , like if this really a bad narrative then what we will say about mine sacrifice in the end with the most cartoonish way lol

[@aepoyi]

just wanna say real quick I'm glad froob brought up the romance substories in LAD and IW. it almost feels like they're taboo to talk about but they absolutely disgust me and I hope we don't see them again

[@LoneCactus-VEVO]

When it comes to K1, I personally think that if you're the type of player that got into the series with Y0 and the game you pick up immediately afterwards is K1, you're probably going to have a bad time. That's because even as a beginner you can easily get through Y0 without having a full grasp of the game's battle system, but K1 is unplayable for beginners, which makes it very easy to hate. Might be a skill but that's how I felt at the time. I bet that if I went back to it now that I've played most of the games in the series I'd have a hell of a better time.
