Really shouldn't start with Yakuza 0. It's gonna make the older ones harder to play by comparison. Should start with 3 or 4 and watch the recaps of the prior games from the menu.

 

[repeater]

Beastkuza, really looking forward to this! Alex exasperatedly explaining pieces of japanese culture to Dan will be THE BEST. Hope Vinny brings the guitar too.

They'll never reach 3 and 4 c'mon now. It'll be 0, Kiwami if lucky then the series is done.

 

[TraBuch]

I dunno. He says they're planning on tackling the entire series. If true, no reason to not play it by release order.

 

[Ketch]

edit: nvm, figured it out.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Oh hell yeah.

They are going to play 0, the remake of 1, and then 6 next year if you are lucky.

Be realistic. These are really long games.

Good news on the Yakuza front. I know nothing about them but always wanted to check one out.

oh fuck yes. Giant bomb is saved.

 

[Basileus777]

Yakuza ER has basically been a fan fic in this thread for years!

Waypoint eat your heart out.

 

[TraBuch]

I still think it's pretty fucked up Austin vetoed a Shenmue ER while he was there because a friend of his was doing a Shenmue LP.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

The only thing I know about Yakuza is that people kept telling me it's like if Shenmue wasn't shit. I guess I'm somewhat excited for this?

I still think it's pretty fucked up Austin vetoed a Shenmue ER while he was there because a friend of his was doing a Shenmue LP.

That's why he left GB right? Cause they planned on doing it depsite his veto

 

[SuperSonic1305]

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

 

[Ketch]

I still think it's pretty fucked up Austin vetoed a Shenmue ER while he was there because a friend of his was doing a Shenmue LP.

Would it be fucked up if GB vetoed a doom or overwatch deep dive cus Danny was doing one?

 

[Giganteus]

Vinny's performance in the Hitsmas video is A-mazing. So good.

 

[alr1ght]

So will they play the PS2 version with all those american actors playing Japanese dudes?

 

[Puck Beaverton]

nah we got kiwami

 

[Mr. F]

Ehh apples and oranges, their styles of coverage are totally different to the point where I wouldn't see them even needing to veto

 

[Felix Lighter]

Shooting those 2 guards in the head with the silenced pistol with a mouse would be soooooo easy.

 

[MassiveNights]

God damn that Hottest Mess realisation was an all time great GB GOTY moment.

 

[Ketch]

God damn that Hottest Mess realisation was an all time great GB GOTY moment.

Yep. Alex continues to get more awesome

 

[Meneses]

I was in tears during Vinny's Hitman run, holy shit.

 

[hiphoptherobot]

I am so pumped. Best news I have heard all year.

 

[Ketch]

Ehh apples and oranges, their styles of coverage are totally different to the point where I wouldn't see them even needing to veto

Do you know what style austins friend covers games in? It doesn't matter though.

The point is: It's not fucked up to want to do your own thing and not copy other people.


And then even if the only reason he vetoed shenmue ER was to Selfishly protect his friends work (selfishly protect, that's a new one) is it really a dick move? I don't think so.


This reply is not really addressed at you as much as it is addressed at the idea of some sneaky Austin conspiracy.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Man Vinny's run was fucking magical LOL

 

[avengers23]

YakuBeast flies a little better than Beastkuza.

 

[Data West]

I will never understand running to stand in line to play an unfinished demo build of a game.

 

[Tagyhag]

They'll never reach 3 and 4 c'mon now. It'll be 0, Kiwami if lucky then the series is done.

Yeah we'll see how it goes, they even still have all those Mega Man games to go through.

Either the two series will take more than 5 years to complete, we get less content from other things out of beast, or the series are abandoned halfway through.

 

[Death Metalist]

Oh god, raw greenscreen Vinny VR
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_VCtzDwgaI

bring me the gifs

This and Shenmue 2. My god, it's going to be so good.

 

[justjim89]

None of the Yakuza games are on PC, are they?

 

[Felix Lighter]

I'm crying here. Vinny runs through that door and just buries that ax in that guards head in front of that crowd of people.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Is Super hot still worth playing after beating SuperHot VR? I'm debating on picking it up before the Steam sale is done.

 

[alr1ght]

Playstation only, with a port of the first two games on Wii U in Japan.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Old Acquaintance video is cool.

 

[Twin Tails]

good game tapes, would have been nice if it was an actual live gt when it was recording.

40 minute pod about Frog Fractions 2 is up on Giant Bomb Presents feed

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

40 minute pod about Frog Fractions 2 is up on Giant Bomb Presents feed

Why would they drop that now?

 

[AuthenticM]

OMG DAN AND ALEX ARE GOING TO PLAY THROUGH ALL THE YAKUZA SERIES

 

[neshcom]

Why would they drop that now?

Lots of sites are running pieces on it. Probably a coordinated embargo drop. Also, yeah, it's been out.

 

[bigkrev]

Why would they drop that now?

????
Frog Fractions 2 is on Steam now. This is the time to be talking about it

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

It's unfortunate the embargo landed in the flood of GB content as opposed to the weeks of nearly nothing. I guess most sites already ran their GOTY stuff.

 

[FStop7]

Needs Alex and Dan's faces shopped appropriately

 

[Mr. F]

40 minute pod about Frog Fractions 2 is up on Giant Bomb Presents feed

I don't even know if I care at this point. The ARG was such a drawn out exercise that it was hard to be excited after it was clear where things were going but still unraveled at a glacial pace.

 

[Jintor]

it took me 3 days to download doom and it's pretty good

environmental design could use some work though. not in terms of aesthetic, it looks like what it should... but i get lost really easily and man there sure is a lot of things that look like other things.

Yea it was, that was probably my favorite video all year and there havs been quite a few good ones! He definitely knows how to game hitman the best.

 

[adamsapple]

Sheikh Zanzibar is my hero

Guess who just resubbed GiantBomb premium for 2 more years ?

 

[broncobuster]

It'll be an interesting path through the series

Yakuza 0 - PS4
Yakuza Kiwami - PS4
Yakuza 2 - PS2
Yakuza 3 to 5 - PS3
Yakuza 6 - PS4

Yakuza 3 to 5 - PS3
Yakuza 6 - PS4

At this rate they'll probably need to do the PS2 version of Yakuza 1, cause Kiwami aint coming out till much later in the year. This also depends on how soon and when they'll start this feature.
