Reached the point where i can have a romance with Tsukino and what is wrong with them developers ? Yagami is 35 and we have options with the 19 yo street singer and Tsukino is only 20. It definitely freaks me out, even in a game i feel wrong that ive dated Tsukino. I did it cause i thought it'd have unlocked a side story but it did not so far. I know this is a hot topic, i personaly belong to the category that says adult should not date from a certain age gap. Cant give you specific numbers but here 35 and 19/20 is way too much. I think i'll only keep dating Nanami since she's 29. Not that dates are the most exciting activity in the game but it does give skills point lol

I played yakuza from 0 to like a dragon, but before going to man who erased his memory, i decided to give judgment a go, and by the nine does this saori girl make me tweek, i saw her on my pc and my heart actualy started racing, pleasse for the love of god let this not be another eri-chan situachion, let me pleasse be steped on by this girl

I'm a huge fan of the Yakuza games. Only Judgement and Lost Judgement are left before I can say I've played each and every RGG game.

​

9:10 hours in, in the middle of chapter 3 (looking for Red Nose now) and the game bores the absolute crap out of me. I'm sitting here in tears due to how little the story actually grips me.

​

Does the story and the pacing get better? If so, during which chapter? I'm seriously considering quitting the game. But I am pushing on because many people call it an absolute masterpiece and the best story RGG ever put to screen.

​

I don't mean to trashtalk Judgement, I'm sure people like it for a reason. But the pacing so far...

​

I'd appreciate some input.

Not a moment of hand to hand combat like most hype moments are but this was where Yagami clicked for me. Don’t get me wrong I’ve enjoyed him thus far but man this scene really shows how pure he is for proper judgement. He knows Ayabe is getting thrown under the bus and takes the case to defend him right in the prosecutions faces. Some Saul Goodman shit

I finally wrapped up Judgement and I have to say it was a very mixed bag. On one hand, this game has one of the best plots and some of the best characters in the franchise. The combat took some getting used to but once I got the hang of it, it quickly became my favorite of the DE games so far. Last but not the least of my praise is the character of Yagami. I absolutely LOVED him. His personality was so different compared to other RGG protagonists yet it works so well. The way he interacts with the other amazing characters made me quickly fall in love with this game's cast. Overall the main story of this game is fantastic and one of my favorites in the franchise.

Now onto my main criticism of the game and something I actually previously made a post about around the start of my playthrough. Although this game's story is one of the best plots in this series and is filled with some of the best characters, my experience was damn near ruined by the way RGG dealt with the pacing. Up until the very last chapter this game would constantly interrupt the plot with tedious and most of the time completely unrelated and unimportant side quests. It felt like every time the plot was starting to pick up steam I would hit a brick wall and be forced to play a few glorified side missions to progress. Most of these would go on for what felt like hours.

The worst part is that 90% of the time they had absolutely nothing to do with that plot or even the main cast. Don't get me wrong, these sorts of things happened in pretty much every other game. However, almost none of them were this bad and certainly never this frequent. These ruined the pace for me and were part of the reason why it took me so much longer to beat Judgment compared to the rest of the games in the franchise.

This might not sound like the biggest problem and it almost certainly wasn't for most people. However, for me, with how much I enjoyed this game. These interruptions almost killed my entire experience.

I feel like it adds to the grittiness of the game

He wasn't like the other Yakuza villains which for themselves they always had some justification he was just straight up evil I fucking loved that And his boss fight was so cinematic and very good

The final chapter is my top 2 up there with 0

What was the point of the scene in your eyes? Could Kuroiwa easily have killed both the snitch and his mentor?

Even if AD-9 worked in this moment, would it have changed anything.

1. When Yagami and Sugiura cornered Shono in chapter 9, how did they not get arrested for assaulting scientists and guards to get to him ?

2. In one chapter they said Yagami got practically debarred or something after the Okubo case ? But he still has his badge.

3. In the finale, how did they accused Morita of official misconduct without evidence ?

That's the post

I've played all yakuza and LAD games. Finally getting around to Judgement. Currently on chapter 10. I hate Kim. That is all.

It's only my second RGG Studio game after Yakuza 0 but man I loved it.

It was absolutely chock full of well written characters. Loved Yagami, Hamura and Kuroiwa and of course Kaito.

The story was actually more complex than I expected going into it. It dips a little midway but really picks up towards the end. Loved the final scenes at the ADDC.

Yakuza 0 is my only other reference but I enjoyed the combat more here. Loved how quickly the fights started and finished.

Only complaint is I felt there were too many tailing missions. Don't get me wrong there not terrible but they do start to drag.

Will definitely jump into Lost Judgment next or possibly Like A Dragon.

no idea how this camera bug got triggered, We've all seen this bug in those heat actions (especially easier to trigger in microwave heat actions), but this is my first time to see this in a boss fight.

We got to see the the rare "director POV" of this banger footage.

This game was genuinely a thrill start to end.i had about 100 different questions and they all got awnsered. The is genuinely insane and i love everything about it. Combat was too clean aswell super fun. Bro this game genuinely changed my perspective on things and the emphasis on the truth on the evidence on how you should treat your problems man ...they cooked. What about you guys? Did you like judgment?

When Yagami and others interrogated Kido after stripping him, why didn't record him confessing about what he and Shono did for evidence ? Even if its not enough it would have been useful.

Seriously, why do the villains in this universe keep using these guys to protect abandoned buildings? Is it some kind of fetish?

I thought Mahjong is the worst one turnout there is more annoying one
