Yakuza is a Very Silly Game

SnowiestAngeman 2023-05-01 | Haha so funny and whacky I love the part where the funny John Yakuza man lives through several traumatic experiences and carries an immense weight of guilt and sadness on his shoulders his entire life hahaha. You can SO tell these are the Super Monkey Ball guys!

If you're upset from this video then I know exactly what will cheer you up. Joining the channel ;)

And I know it sounds sus but while I was making this I saw this video which has a similar bit within it but I didn't copy it jus' sayin' youtu.be/7WozhP81AwQ?t=246

Song:
Yakuza Kiwami 2 - A Scattered, Eternal Moment

Things Every Yakuza Player Has Done

SnowiestAngeman 2023-04-24 | We've all done this! Every single thing in this video! We've done it all! All of us Yakuza/Like a Dragon gamers! Who hasn't done this? I know! Someone who has never been a true gamer! Yes! We are all guilty of these crimes! I hate Haruto why would RGG Studio force me to look after a baby screw you.

One last thing every Yakuza player's done is join the channel! There's so many people here. There's me, me.... uhh... ummm...

Yakuza Dead Souls but good | Binary Domain Gaming

SnowiestAngeman 2023-04-24 | Imagine, if you will, another third person shooter by RGG Studio but one that actually has heard of frames before and it utilises them 60 times per second as opposed to once every 3 business days. Also LET'S GO BIG BO TRY YELLIN' CHAAAAAARGE AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS!

Weird Yakuza Inconsistencies That DO Matter (To Me Specifically)

SnowiestAngeman 2023-04-17 | When you go back and forth between all of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon games like I constantly do there are so many little itty bitty changes. I often forget about those subtle differences and it rather unsubtly annoys me. But seriously M for pause??? M for monkey because that's who decided that.

Woah, woah, woah... you can join the channel now? How based? Wow so epic and cool!

But hey with that being said though it's just a video :) I'm just joking around for a bit of fun :) I'm not being completely serious :) I can already hear people typing their sooky little comments about how "umm akshully" and all that nonsense :) I am not claiming that these things ruin the games :) take that time you would've spent writing an irrelevant comment in patting a dog or something :) please :)

PS2 Yakuza 2 Gaming - New mic hype ez pez

SnowiestAngeman 2023-04-03 | The game that is incomparable to Yakuza Kiwami 2. Not because Kiwami 2 is better or worse or anything. But because they're NOT THE SAME GAME like come on bruh. Also new microphone and an actually not cooked set up this time around yay.

Behind the Scenes With RGG Studio (Parody)

SnowiestAngeman 2023-03-26 | There are zero subliminal messages to any audience members or any employees of the American divisions of certain Japanese video game companies. This video is also to be taken 0% seriously and I want everyone to know everything said in this video is not at all to be taken seriously. Not srs. Not fr.

Yakuzas Satisfying Gameplay #shorts

SnowiestAngeman 2023-03-19 | Small snippet from the end of a video I did. Full video can be found here: youtu.be/POjrAW2olsg

Song:

#yakuza #likeadragon #youtubeshorts

How is Yakuzas Gameplay SO SATISFYING?

SnowiestAngeman 2023-03-19 | The Yakuza/Like a Dragon games have an incredible presentation and style that makes playing and experiencing them feel as satisfying as popping bubble wrap. Probably because you are popping skulls (in game) in the same way. And ya just can’t help but feel good after that (in real life).

Footage from other channels:

Judgment - My Own Style
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - Abyss of Time (Long Edit)

Also uhhh… just pretend like the mic is the highest audio quality you’ve ever heard in your life thanks.

Kurohyou 2 Time (on real hardware I swear)

SnowiestAngeman 2023-03-07 | So there's this game, right? Called Kurohyou 2, right? And the protagonist sorta looks like Nishiki from Yakuza 1 a little bit. So, yeah. 10 years in the joint or whatever.

The Gaming Presidents Talk About Yakuza

SnowiestAngeman 2023-03-05 | During a pleasant evening chat between Former President Obama and President Biden, Former President Trump joins the chat, and thus an argument over the Yakuza series ensues. Although if they could stop that would be great 'cause Biden's really struggling with Majima.

The voices were made using ElevenLabs' voice AI. I also checked the other day and saw no one had done one of these for Yakuza but then when I checked again while I was exporting this I saw someone had done it, like, yesterday so big whoops on the timing lol. Although, there's about 800 Minecraft ones so I suppose it isn't the worst thing to happen.

Song:
Yakuza: Like a Dragon - Receive You The Hyperactive

The Beauty of Like a Dragon: Ishin!

SnowiestAngeman 2023-02-27 | Although this series has never had 1 million x 1 million pixel textures or character models where their hair has more polygons than the entirety of Crysis 3, the series instead has always had a visually appealing presentation, and this game is no exception. It is, for lack of a better word, beautiful.

As you may have noticed this video has 21:9 footage WITHOUT borders and an uncapped frame rate in the cutscene I showed, and that is 100% thanks to this mod: github.com/Lyall/IshinFix

I will also say that this is 100% created to prove a weird handful of comments wrong that I got on the video I made before this about Like a Dragon Ishin! where I had some people who were so immensely lacking in a brain that I'm surprised they were able to manoeuvre their fat, inbred fingers around the keyboard strategically enough that they could type their worthless comments about how this game is barely a graphical improvement over Yakuza 3 and then proceeded to say the same thing about Lost Judgment because it turns out these commenters have no eyes either. Yeah they're right because Ryoma looking like a human instead of a Lego brick with a face sticky taped onto it isn't at all an improvement.

Anyway

Song:
Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! - The Rhapsody of Chivalry (任侠狂詩曲)

Like a Dragon Ishin! Dungeon Time (no spoilers)

SnowiestAngeman 2023-02-26 | You guys hear the rumours of a new Mystery Dungeon game? How exciting. Anyway I will be doing some dungeon stuff in the last location of the 3 dungeon areas.

THANKS FOR RUNNING AWAY SAEKO AND MAKOTO.

Like a Dragon Ishin! Poker Time (no spoilers again)

SnowiestAngeman 2023-02-21 | I'm trying to get the Gold Gun because I got it in the original and I thought it was a funny flex in my recordings. Started at about 71,000 chips so if I get it too quickly I will probably do some substories for a bit. This likely won't be a long stream :)

The Significance and Differences of Like a Dragon: Ishin! (NO major spoilers)

SnowiestAngeman 2023-02-20 | Considering that everyone and their mum has been saying "play this game" I don't think I need to convince you to play it. However, there's a fair bit of behind the scenes history involved with this game, as well as MANY differences between it and the original version of this game.

Before you read some updates below just know that you can join the channel wow how crazy
youtube.com/channel/UC6e33n2Ap73dqftpXc93Sfg/join

This video contains as many of the differences that I could observe that range from obvious ones to subtle ones you wouldn't know if you didn't play the original. I didn't think to mention (but that's not because it's unimportant) all of the new accessibility features added into that game. It also has a new title screen and a lot of UI changes I didn't mention. So yeah it's got those.

UPDATE: The Rhapsody of Chivalry (任侠狂詩曲) from the original game has been replaced in the story by Town Bully from Yakuza 6. However, it's still in the game and can be heard in a lot of the climax battles or ultimate challenges or whatever they're called.

UPDATE 2: Ultrawide and uncapped frame rates have been FIXED thanks to this mod that works perfectly github.com/Lyall/IshinFix

UPDATE 3: Ayo the Ultrawide UI problem and the horrendous stuttering have both been completely fixed by the devs. Woohoo!

If you'd like, you can listen to the entirety of this game's original soundtrack on Spotify, which comes in the form of two albums.

Album 1 which is main songs: open.spotify.com/album/0KsRvbwK7YVhTn8GYPXaAx?si=5ELUlQ1qSHyMA9lUBnExsw

What Happens When I Try to Stream - Ishin Stream Highlights

SnowiestAngeman 2023-02-13 | Alright so the story behind this was that I was *going* to do my first ever stream on YouTube, but sadly I had to do some verification thing and it wasn't working. So I gave up and did a Twitch stream on the day that I promised. BUT, to honour my promise, I decided to do a YouTube stream two days later. My mic is also terrible and no one ever told me the game audio was too loud most of the time. Regardless, I hope you enjoy this different style of content.

0:00 The Twitch Stream
was just the original 2014 Ishin.

9:16 The YouTube Stream
started with Ishin, then moved onto Kurohyou 1, then Kurohyou 2, then Yakuza 2, then RGG Kenzan, then finally ended with Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

I have done two previous stream highlight things for a bit of a laugh, but they were unlisted as I felt it didn't fit all too well with what I already had. Here they are:

First ever test stream from a while back: youtu.be/D78sp31Ez4A
Random Call of Duty stream: youtu.be/kT2eZ12MZSs

I didn't list any song names and whatever because I didn't properly use them like I would in a normal video, but feel free to ask any song names and I'll be sure to try and answer you.

First Ever Stream that was Cracked and Awesome

SnowiestAngeman 2023-02-08 | First ever YouTube stream plz no bully thx :) I played a variety of games this stream because it's MY channel and I can do whatever *I* want.

The stream started with OG 2014 Ishin, then went to Kurohyou 1, then Kurohyou 2, then Yakuza 2 (the PS3 version), then Kenzan, then finally it ended with Tekken Tag Tournament 2 lol

YO Like a Dragon Ishin Early Access Gameplay?! (100% legit NO cheats)

SnowiestAngeman 2023-02-08 | First ever YouTube stream plz no bully thx I may swap to another game later :)

Removed Features From the Yakuza Games

SnowiestAngeman 2023-02-06 | Despite their consistent approach of copying and pasting 99.9% of everything, there have been many times that RGG Studio have removed many things when making new games. To be fair though BRING BACK BOWLING PLEASE :'(

You know what they didn't remove, though? The ability to join the channel. In fact they just added that just now you should do it :)
youtube.com/channel/UC6e33n2Ap73dqftpXc93Sfg/join

I made a similar video a while ago, but that was just a meme lol: youtu.be/E0tz6NX_hCA

You can also check out RGG Studio doing their classic CTRL C + CTRL V strats they always do here: youtu.be/5sF9AtxaWDM

By the way, this does not cover EVERY single thing that has been removed from the games. When you include every tiny little thing you'd probably get closer to an hour long video to be honest. Things like specific attacks or heat actions; licenced products such as Don Quijote; or random things like birds were not include, to name a few examples.

Songs:
Yakuza 4 - Casino
Tekken Tag Tournament - Xiaoyou Stage (PlayStation 2 Version)
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - The Strongest Iron Arena (Silver Mix)
Yakuza 6 - Brother, Brother
Yakuza Kiwami - Everlasting Spirit
Lost Judgment - In The Groove
Kurohyō: Ryū ga Gotoku Shinshō - DIGITALIZED
Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! - Like a Chicken’s Shadow (鶏陰矢の如し)
Tekken 7 - Empty Your Mind 1st

How I Set An Impossible Speedrun World Record

SnowiestAngeman 2023-01-22 | To celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the time that I set an unprecedented world record that still to this day remains unbeaten, I thought I would finally share in great detail the tips and tricks that helped me save a lot of time running through all of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon games.

Not every single RGG Studio title was included within this tutorial and for that I do apologise. This was because the strategies used were quite obvious so I thought they needed no explanation. It is also because I still to this day hate Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise and I don't care what people say I hate it stop trying to pretend like it isn't a game about blowing up someone's head then doing chores for your mum for 10 hours and then the game ends. Kenshiro? More like Kenshigo ahead and uninstall the game.

There are some rather mild spoilers for Yakuza 3, and relatively big spoilers for Yakuza 4 in this video. The Yakuza 3 one isn't all too important and Yakuza 4's story is terrible so who cares.

What to Expect from Like a Dragon: Ishin!

SnowiestAngeman 2023-01-03 | Or Ishin! Kiwami if you want to use the easier (better) name. As someone who has played the original game and enjoyed it quite thoroughly, I thought I would share my expert analysis that is 100% accurate and there are no tricks within this video I promise I swear man come on believe me bro I swear.

Now BEFORE ANYONE SAYS IT: The arena in this game is definitely harder than some of the other games, but I was exaggerating the difficulty for comedic affect. It does, however, give you about 12 points for beating 100 enemies when the cheapest of the actually good items cost like 50,000 points so that's awesome.

ALSO: some of the keyframe data messed up in the export despite my attempts to fix them :( but if you don't notice anything like that then don't worry about it :)

Songs:
Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! - Before the Sansanqua Falls (山茶花の散る前に)
Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! - Old and New String Instrument War (新旧弦楽器戦争)
Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! - Butterfly (蝶)
Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! - Samurai Enbu [Full Spec Edition] (さむらい演舞 [Full Spec Edition])

THE WORLDS BEST COMPOSERS - Yakuza Composer Appreciation

SnowiestAngeman 2022-12-25 | The composers of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon/Ryu Ga Gotoku/whatever ya wanna call it franchise are legitimately some of the most talented people in the video game industry. Don't agree with me? WELL that's okay you're allowed to have your own opinion but I hope you like the video anyway.

For full (AKA as good as I can get) discographies of the different composers that were mentioned (and some that weren't) in this video you can check out their playlists here: youtube.com/@SnowiestAngeman/playlists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=3

The Atmosphere of the Yakuza Games

SnowiestAngeman 2022-12-05 | A video inspired by the title of a Tekken 4 video that I saw that I didn't actually watch until after coming up with the idea and that video was nothing like this video. This instead is just a small showcase of times where the Yakuza games do a great job at creating an atmospheric setting or mood. And no I didn't "forget" anything. It's a short video on purpose.

A version without the music if you're into ASMR stuff: youtu.be/gzUbwIhO-gA

This is very similar to a set of videos I did. This video doesn't focus purely on the sounds, but these ones do. Here was the first part: youtu.be/L1NKZYiUKoY

Now, when I say atmosphere, I mean that feeling of feeling like you're really in a living and breathing area. It truly does make you feel like you're actually in Japan, but not in a "makes you feel like Batman/Spider-Man" game review kinda way, but as in it genuinely looks and feels as realistic as it does in real life. The posters, the lights, the people. All of it.

In all seriousness, the Yakuza games do manage to create an incredible atmosphere. When you aren't being presented with wacky substories or the cool fight scenes, you're presented with so many audio and visual sensations that make you feel all kinds of things.

Walking through Kamurocho, seeing all of the neon signs and hearing the sounds of the busy streets.

The quiet of Seiryo High School at night.

The peace of Onomichi in the afternoon.

The little boat that goes around in the river in Sotenbori.

The docks in Yokohama.

And most importantly: The Bowling Alley. WHY, RGG STUDIO...?! Why would you do this to me?! You said you'd be by my side! RGG Studio! All I did, I did for you...!

Song:
Tekken 4 - Authentic Sky

Amazing Yakuza Abilities That Will Make You Come... (Part 4/4)

SnowiestAngeman 2022-11-25 | ...to the conclusion that they are very overpowered.

More Yakuza Abilities You Wont Realise Are Bad (Part 3/4)

SnowiestAngeman 2022-11-18 | No I'm not British but we spell realise the same way as them shut the hell up. Anyway, here's a continuation of the first part (linked below). Whenever I do videos like this I really can't tell whether this stuff is intentional by the devs or not lol.

Part 1 (bad abilities): youtu.be/sWSbAstai4g
Part 2 (good abilities): youtu.be/QhQZ7tKWPlU
Part 4 (good abilities): youtu.be/iSPbGeiPxJk

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - Fiji (Paraiso Mix)

Judgment - Kiwami Style Intro

SnowiestAngeman 2022-11-04 | A Kiwami intro in the sense that it combines gameplay and cutscenes to create a cool opening before the title screen of the game, like the games before Yakuza 6. Judgment had an opening, but it was very much just "hey look at these actors we got" instead of "look at this game we made".

Also had a Lost Judgment intro I made ages ago at this point: youtu.be/l8oXUPBoXNA

And look at that! No HUD! Good work RGG Studio for adding the hide HUD option in the PC ports of the game which definitely 100% work and I didn't have to do any work myself... Yeah nah I had to do it myself. I wanna slap them sometimes. Silly billies.

Song:
Judgment - Hyenas Wheezing

Great Yakuza Abilities Youll Spam 24/7 (Part 2/4)

SnowiestAngeman 2022-10-28 | We return with more pointing and laughing at RGG Studio but this time we're laughing a bit more *with* them rather than at them as we examine stuff that's just dumb. Straight stupid. Rather silly. Incomprehensibly foolish. Unequivocally baffling. Overpowered. Yeah that last word.

Also apologies for my voice in the first few minutes of the video I had literally just woken up :(

Part 1 (bad abilities): youtu.be/sWSbAstai4g

Yakuza Abilities You Wont Realise Are Bad (Part 1/4)

SnowiestAngeman 2022-09-30 | We now tune into another episode of "no I don't hate the series but I have spent a lot of time playing them so I am able to criticise the smaller details of the games". On this episode, (accidentally) deceitful deception from RGG Studio regarding unlockable abilities in their games.

You know what ability DOESN'T suck? Your ability to join the channel ;)
youtube.com/channel/UC6e33n2Ap73dqftpXc93Sfg/join

Just before anyone gets mad, the first two abilities were discussed to lead into why the third one is particularly bad, not necessarily that the first two were the bad ones. Although they have the potential to be quite the hinderances.

Part 2 (discussing good abilities): youtu.be/QhQZ7tKWPlU
Part 3 (more bad ones): youtu.be/CshbqZxgHxk
Part 4 (more good ones): youtu.be/iSPbGeiPxJk

Songs:
Yakuza 3 - Let's Produce the No.1 Hostess! (No.1キャバ嬢をつくろう!)
Lost Judgment - Ferocious Red
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - Jin Kazama (Far East Mix)
Yakuza 4 - Speed Star
Like a Dragon: Ishin! - Four Unrestful Flowers (乱れ四華花)
Tekken Revolution - Fear to Agonize
Yakuza 5 - The Passion for Batting
Nintendogs - Shopping Theme

If you tell me that it's spelt 'realize' I'll slap you.

How are the Yakuza Dynamic Intros so Appealing?

SnowiestAngeman 2022-09-23 | Considering I've made a bunch of videos about them, I thought it would be interesting to look at what RGG Studio actually do to make their dynamic intros special. I mostly look at the visual effects applied for each game, but I also go a bit more in depth for some of them. Also SPOILERS.

You know if you join the channel you actually get your own Dynamic Intro? (For legal reasons this is false but you can join anyway)
youtube.com/channel/UC6e33n2Ap73dqftpXc93Sfg/join

Yeah I don't look at Ishin Kiwami/Like a Dragon: Ishin but from what gameplay exists the intro styles are very similar to Yakuza: Like a Dragon but in black and white. Put it in the thumbnail though to show old vs new, y'know?

Unfortunately given what I'm covering I can't avoid spoilers. So here are the timestamps:
Intro/Before Yakuza 3 0:00
Yakuza 3 1:35
Yakuza 4 3:35
Yakuza 5 4:10
Ishin! (2014) 4:52
Yakuza 0 7:10
Yakuza Kiwami 7:41
Yakuza 6 8:51
Yakuza Kiwami 2 10:29
Judgment (Lost Judgment/The Kaito Files too) 11:31
Actual Lost Judgment/The Kaito Files Footage 12:39
Yakuza: Like a Dragon 12:56
Conclusion 14:46
Outro (Spoilers for everything ever) 15:43

Certain games have the exact same visual style as each other, so there may be some overlap. The styles that exist are as follows:

Yakuza 3/4/5
Ishin/Yakuza 0/Kiwami 1
Yakuza 6/Kiwami 2
Judgment/Lost Judgment
Yakuza: Like a Dragon

If that ^ doesn't make sense, you'll see what I mean in the video.

Songs:
Yakuza Kiwami 2 - Rebellious Phase
Yakuza - Funk Goes On
Yakuza 3 - Fly
Persona 4 - The Almighty
Tekken 7 - Vermilion Gates
Ace Combat Zero - Zero
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Ultimate Enemy (official name)
I promise you, Square Enix, that it is not Final Fantasy VII Remake - Infinity's End. I swear.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon - Receive You The Hyperactive
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Immediate Threat (official name)

RGG Summit in a Nutshell

SnowiestAngeman 2022-09-16 | SEGA: Okay, do you think there are enough announcements now?
Yokoyama: RGG Studio 2. Also release the fabled PC ports but don't tell anyone.

Songs:

Ace Combat 7 - Daredevil
Devil May Cry V - Bury the Light
(Then Daredevil again at the end)

SnowiestAngeman 2022-08-04 | In honour of "RGG Studio's Japanese Twitter account make up fake days I swear" day, we will honour our fallen mechanics and minigames of the Yakuza series that will never again see the light of day. Probably. I mean Lao Ka Long's back so who even knows anymore.

If I got any dates wrong whoops sorry I don't have their birth/date certificates although it is a silly meme so it doesn't matter too much lol

Songs:
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - Agniratha, Mechonis Capital (Night)

How YOU Can Get Into the Yakuza Series

SnowiestAngeman 2022-07-09 | With the recent sales, memes and attention that the Yakuza series has gotten in the past couple of years, a lot of new people are joining up and playing the games. This video shows what I think is the best way to start your journey through the Yakuza series of video games.

If you want to, you can play through whichever game you want first and play through whatever other ones you want (or none of them at all if you really want to) but this video is just the least intimidating way for a newcomer to become familiar with the franchise.

If you disagree with me, uhh well guess what? :( bruh how could you im sad now

Songs:
Yakuza 0 - interspace garden
Yakuza 0 - Breeze Time
Yakuza 5 - Quiet Mode
Yakuza 5 - highway
Judgment - Random Fire
Ace Combat 7 - Dual Wielder
Yakuza 0 - t u s k
Lost Judgment - Fog
Yakuza: Like a Dragon - Answer From Geomijul
Yakuza 5 - Bakamitai (ばかみたい) - Jazz Version

A Montage of Yakuza Reusing Assets

SnowiestAngeman 2022-06-12 | Welcome to another episode of "please don't show this to anyone from RGG Studio because I don't want to get blacklisted from anything that they might do thanks". In this episode, we make fun of them relentlessly. The thumbnail for this video is me crying that there is no bowling in LJ.

No cap they even reused SnowiestAngeman's member thingy that he's got now wait what's that you can become a member that's so insane
youtube.com/channel/UC6e33n2Ap73dqftpXc93Sfg/join

When creating a sequel, many video game developers will use a lot of what they have already made as a basis to begin work on their next project. Some things get replaced or removed; but some things are kept exactly as they are. RGG Studio do uhhh... mostly the latter. This video shows off mostly things that were brought back randomly from old games (like Kiwami 2 and Kaito Files having that Baseball heat action from Yakuza 1) and the asset's first appearance or at least something close to that.

This video does not include every instance of reuse as that would be a 50 hour video, but instead trims A LOT of it down to a nice and tasty 8 minutes because I am not your average 'oh my god click on this 30 hour video to watch 3 seconds of something interesting' YouTuber.

Timestamps:
"Intro" 0:00
Heat actions 0:20
Fighting styles 3:52
Miscellaneous reuse 5:33

Songs:
Lost Judgment: The Kaito Files - (just look up Hasty Spirit because it doesn't have an official name)
Ace Combat 7 - Magic Spear 1
Tekken 6 - Dist Thins Out
Not the Remake of Final Fantasy VII - Nor is it Collapsed Expressway

Weird Things in the Yakuza Games

SnowiestAngeman 2022-05-14 | Have you ever been playing a Yakuza game and thought about some of the insanely whack stuff that happens? No, I don't mean the *intentionally* weird things... I mean things that are unintentional but make no sense whatsoever in real life. You'll see what I mean.

This is very similar to the Yakuza Inconsistencies videos I made, that being these videos:
Part 1: youtu.be/VGwu3ZkCQCI
Part 2: youtu.be/JB10As_JZLw

Songs:
Final Fantasy XV - Galdin Quay
Tekken 6 - Edge of Spring
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - Gaur Plain
Persona 4 - Heartbeat, Heartbreak
Judgment - The Flower of Chivalry (義侠の華)

Yakuza is STILL the Coolest Franchise Ever

SnowiestAngeman 2022-05-07 | SPOILERS for showing the final bosses of most games. Only for a little bit but if you are uber concerned about spoilers then you have been warned. This video was made as I got a few comments asking for the first video but with Final Destination so here it is :)

You can compare this to the first video to see how insanely higher quality my footage is now compared to then because I actually know how to record. But I reckon this one has way slicker editing thanks to almost an entire year of experience. First video: youtu.be/w5BBctgYoXQ

Timestamps so you can get back to the action quicker ;)

0:00 Intro
0:17 Cool epic edit by cool guy from Australia
1:06 Outro

Song:
Lost Judgment - Final Destination

Guest Composers Part 2 - Yakuza Composer Appreciation

SnowiestAngeman 2022-04-30 | This video is dedicated to all of the composers across the Yakuza franchise that have only composed a few songs, or only composed for a few games. This is the second part in a mini series within an actual series. Hope you enjoy :)

Slight correction, Hiroyoshi Kato is under the TEAM** of Noisycroak (not the alias of). Turns out Hideki Sakamoto is the CEO of the business and that Keisuke Ito (from the first video) is a part of it as well! I honestly would never have known that if not for doing the research. But I'm glad I did.

Also, Yoshio Tsuru did two more songs besides the fishing themes whoops. His discography still has everything, though.

Self-Imposed Yakuza Challenges

SnowiestAngeman 2022-04-05 | You ever thought that the Yakuza games are pretty easy? Well a lot of people will probably agree with you, that's why the community has come up with these challenges to add to the experience! These... totally real challenges...

As per usual this video is a meme and as per usual I can't wait for the comments of people who watch the first 0.2 seconds just to comment and tell me I'm wrong even though that's the joke.

Songs:
Tekken 2 - Emotionless Passion
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Kazuya Mishima, Devil Kazuya [Remix]
Yakuza - son of a gun
Lost Judgment - Green Vibes
Yakuza Kiwami - Pray Me -Revive-

Yakuzas First Ever (Good) DLC

SnowiestAngeman 2022-03-29 | I refer to, of course, Lost Judgment's the Kaito Files. Unsurprisingly, RGG Studio have knocked my socks off yet again with Lost Judgment, although this time around I get to at least stare at the most handsome man in the series. Also, Hoshino in sick sunnies and Higashi in a swag apron.

If you can buy it, buy it. If you can't then I once again offer to the less fortunate my most sincere lol and my most humble pointing and laughing.

Songs:
Yakuza 0 - Force Addiction
Yakuza 4 - SHINE
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - Piano Intro - Massive Mix
Lost Judgment - Fog
Lost Judgment - Tough Cuss

You Should Play Like a Dragon: Ishin! (If You Can)

SnowiestAngeman 2022-03-20 | It's real name is Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! It's also really good, but I can't really describe how good it truly is unless I hand you the controller. So help me out here and uhhh... play the game. It is absolutely worth everyone's time and money. I don't work for SEGA trust me.

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyy we out here with RGG Studio YET AGAIN DOING THEIR BEST to make my videos mostly wrong :)

If you're wondering who Chihiro Aoki is, why don't you take a look at this video? youtu.be/q6a7H5IcXxM

If you're wondering where to actually acquire the game, I bought it off Play-Asia. Took a while to get to me but I live in Australia which according to the whole world is some sort of demon infested hell pit so they had to work up the courage to send it to me.

All but one of the songs are from the OST of Ishin, so I instead named the composers:
ZENTA - Lost Lewisite
Hyd Lunch - Willow's Riff
ZENTA - Great Fireworks (嗚呼、大花火)
Hidenori Shoji - Before the Sasanqua Falls (山茶花の散る前に)
Kiwami 2 - A Scattered, Eternal Moment

You can check out these composers, Chihiro Aoki and more with this playlist :) youtube.com/playlist?list=PLN58ITKbq8wCwpxIvs0zx1KhwVRdfvPlE

What to Expect From Lost Judgments Kaito Files DLC

SnowiestAngeman 2022-03-08 | Mark your calendars, gamers! On the 28th of March, Kaito is gonna come hard and fast all over your PlayStation or Xbox! Unless you have both because Kaito's come is indiscriminate. It's gonna be a LOAD of fun.

Did you know he didn't even say "these guys won't stop comin' on us" in Japanese? He made a bad pun and that's why the lads reacted the way they did (twitter.com/moriyoshijon/status/1486087028769013765).

The only reason it still says it in the subtitles is because a lot of the time the non-properly animated cutscenes in Judgment, LAD and Lost Judgment have their subtitles based off the English dub. Therefore, the English Dub is the better dub.

Songs:
Destiny - The Last Array
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children - Advent One-Winged Angel

Bad Changes in Yakuza Games (That No One Cares About)

SnowiestAngeman 2022-02-28 | As we all know, Yakuza is good. But it can be bad. Sometimes though. Nah actually maybe a bit more than sometimes. But it's pretty good to be fair. Although it is simultaneously bad. Anyway here's Wonderwall.

I am being serious but my statements within this video do not automatically mean I dislike the games. I have played all of them so they obviously did something right, y'know? Except for Dead Souls I haven't played that but not even Scott Strichart wants to play that lol.

Songs:
Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade - The Runaround Pt. I
Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade - The Runaround Pt. III
Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade - The Runaround Pt. V
Yakuza 5 - Be the Star!!
Lost Judgment - Blue Stompin'
Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories - Destiny Islands
Yakuza 6 - Body and Soul (only for a little bit)

Yakuza: Like a Dragon Composer Appreciation

SnowiestAngeman 2022-02-14 | After 2 years we finally have some more information of the incredible music of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, such as who composed what and the names of the songs. This video takes a look at a handful of these songs so enjoy :) I also apologise for mistranslations I don't speak Japanese lol.

I may update this to have other places to listen to the OST, but for now you can check out the FULL Yakuza: Like a Dragon OST on Spotify here:
open.spotify.com/album/7I23Ozytuydr8LCgRiHNY5?si=S-EP6mGcQX68hwqKvvMNVw

Just as a side note, there is a composer in here named Yusuke Takahama who I don't believe has composed for any other Yakuza game so consider him a guest composer. He did all the Can Quest songs.

How Yakuza: Like a Dragons Sequel Can Learn From Its Competitors

SnowiestAngeman 2022-01-03 | Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a fantastic Yakuza game, but in terms of a JRPG it leaves a bit to be desired for a huge weeaboo RPG nerd like me. That being said, I reckon the sequel’s gonna be top notch and it could be even better if they were to implement some ideas from its competitors.

Unlike my other videos that start with how, this one is actually serious. Please note that these are some general ideas that I’ve seen in other JRPGs that would be easy to implement, and not something complicated like an ATB gauge or something.

I know it was the intention, but unfortunately Like a Dragon derived ALL of its combat inspiration from Dragon Quest, rather than looking at good things from everything. Hopefully though with the sequel they branch out and cherrypick some of the juicy stuff from other games to help improve the game itself.

Songs:
Shin Megami Tensei IV – Black Market
Persona 5 – Layer Cake
Final Fantasy XIII-2 – Paradigm Shift
Shin Megami Tensei IV – Shinjuku Underground District
Definitely Not Final Fantasy VII Remake – High Five
Same game as above – The Airbuster (nah it definitely isn’t I swear)
