Let's talk Yakuza

[Yousef]

Yousef you're an absolute legend. Would you believe I already checked the Repo and somehow didn't find these? They're going on my Vita as we speak.

Super!!! Happy to help any time!!!
Yeah actually searching stuff on the repo can be hard so it definitely doesn’t hurt to ask. Actually me and my friend @RageBurner were trying to find the page for Metroid 2: return of samus since I wanted to update the entry to include the requested arabic patch and search function was working incorrectly LOOOL (we eventually found it so no worries there)

 

[RageBurner]

Yep, the search is pretty strict, so it pays to change things up if something can't be found at first (using Roman numerals for game titles instead of the usual ones, for example).

Hong Kong or Indonesian DVDs of the Kurohyou drama with English subtitles came out back in the day. You could buy it on amazon at the time. It's low budget but it's alright.
The game are both subbed. I really need to play them one day. I've still only played the two PS2 games.

From the perspective of a relatively newer fan, I have to say on my first playthrough I loved 0. Its undeniably one of the greatest games I've ever played. With that being said... I kind of like Kurohyou more. A lot more. At the time I thought it was recency bias, but now that time passed since I played both I kind of feel like Kurohyou left a much greater impact for me, especially the second one. 0 is still great though, technically the better game I guess, but its just how I feel personally.

This is a beautiful moment we're watching unfold here.

Also, GOATed use of the Curtis/Armstrong gif

I'll be talking about thee Yakuzas. Not the game, if you don't mind. I recommend everyone to check out the Battle Without Honor and Humanity film series if you're into that subject.

Ah yeah the real Yakuza are definitely equally interesting. “Yakuza” movies tell interesting tales.
I think it’s interesting hearing about how some ex-Yakuza live their lives with missing fingers.

I recommend those and any other Fukasaku yakuza movie. I like Yakuza Graveyard even better than Battles for example.
I like the Yakuza series but the plots get crazy and I wish there was a more serious one with that Fukasaku documentary feel at some point.

 

[Zerohour2k12]

Haven't played for a while, I'm on RGG4 and my file's at the start of Saejima's part. I finish 5 games in the series so far.

 

[Cosmiken]

Yea, Kurohyo 1 and 2. They're about a cocky and strong teenager joining the underground fighting circuit. Apparently you can make your own combos and the fighting is kinda like those Def Jam games. I haven't seen much but the cutscenes are in an ultrakino black and white comic style

I'm playing the first one right now. I am soooo in. Tatsyua probably my current favorite Yakuza character of all time.

 

[destinyduelist]

It is but it’s only subbed in French

The entirety of season 1 is subbed in English on YouTube

Like a Dragon: Black Panther TV Series Season 1 [Eng. subs]

From the live action TV series known in Japan as "Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku". Disclaimer: I DID NOT PROVIDE THE SUBTITLES. The source of them is unknown, I dec...
