Like A Dragon Gaiden Professional No Damage All Bosses (Commentary) 

The game may have taken longer than 6 months to make

This game had a real emotinal ending

That final phase of the final boss theme is so beautiful

>no damage >damages the bosses :clueless:

I think the cruelest joke of this whole game is that one of the Agent triple finishers acts as a launcher, but since you can't cancel out of it, it's basically useless as a juggling tool. This whole game is full of stuff like that where it feels like it's being catered to looking cool more than allowing you to do cool things

35:00 There is no buffer in the extreme heat mode, which is actually stated somewhere in the tutorial section. But otherwise it should be present.

Calling the story here a nothing burger and just alright is criminal, it’s like a part 2 to 6 and 7, and a finale to Kiryu brawler games as a whole. One of things most important for the series by the end in general I’d say, especially for such a short run time Amazing they did this in 6 months, giving us the best dragon engine Kiryu combat and new movesets for every new important boss (some with multiple movesets)

Time to edge

Had a blast with Gaiden, for a game made in 6 months the Kiryu combat was a such a upgrade over Y6 and K2. Getting to finally juggle outside of a judgment game was so fun. Really enjoyed the story and all of the side content too with some of the best writing in the series.

i've been waiting for this!

Nephew the skinwalker

They knew what they were doing with those 24 gigs of hostess footage.

Heeey I’m on the edge of my seat here is prob my favorite RU-vidr intro

I am glad that I watched the streams

Good job!

35:23 actually Yakuza 4 had this too. It’s easy to do with Tanimura if you do either the parry heat action or back grab heat action

I love how Shishido is just basically Aizawa but good

i think the reason for yakuza style being slower is they wanted to make it a kind of dragon-brawler-beast hybrid. plus if it was as fast as it was previouspy what would be the point of agent

1:16:42 did he just do the family guy death pose?

I love the commentary lmao

Ok so I am gonna try my best currently only 50minutes in to the video but bosses who copy movesets First fight uses yahata 1st longbattle features standard shotgun, andre richardson man in black, ninja moveset from either kenzan or most likely ishin Welfare hunters is penultimate boss of yakuza 6 knife Fake watase uses the moveset introduce in lj with the bat, fake kiryu got pointed out, fake ryuji uses his kiwami 2 copys Second longbattle is yuta, penultimate yakuza 6 guys unarmed (its actually tagashira from yakuza 6, not koshimuzu or whatever his name is), pipe kuze, lj modified version of tamashiros yakuza 3 moveset Hammerhead uses kanda I think, and the group arena is something I cannot be asked Hanawa uses lost judgement detective baton guy Aotsuki uses yahatas also First kijin clan spend money segment I cannot be asked also Second I know you have the yakuza ishin kuze/duck guy from yakuza 4 (Its hamazaki I think) The castle kijin clan I also cannot be asked Golf assasination is just rikiyas (Idk if there is another miniboss The fun stops now is you know him, the entirety of the yakuza dragon engine minibosses love him, kanai Omi alliance 1 has shibusawas rush style Team friendship is kuze and shibusawa brawler and also (tbh I am just gonna say hamazaki/kuze katana which shindo uses in kiwami 2) So this should be all of them besides the ones with 3 minibosses at the same time

We erasing our names with this one 😮

nephew truly was mad tweakin

That continuous blabber during the Majima part got me off guard xD

game is great but if i ever meet the guy recycling Rikiyas moveset every game im going away for murder

you cannot convince me you are not shinada

42:49 dude got destroyed in that Wild Jackson lol

Finally

Why do you sound so much better in this video than the previous commentaries? New mic or something?

49:49 By the way he’s not copying Hirose but Ed, Hirose is reused by Satake of Chains though.

Nice Run i learn a lot about combo now Thank you Very Much and yeah i feel that about the combat in this game too i think it feel like we went back to Judgement again kinda clunky kinda works some move kinda useless some move is too good to not use it same as Judgement so that's why i still think Lost Judgement combat still the best to combo because how each style compliment each other not like this Agent and Yakuza here i just use Yakuza most part and Agent for juggle now hahaha still really great game

kurohyou 1 and 2 have fan made english patches, they are great

would you ever consider doing a Final fantasy 16 no damage?

I just noticed that the boat funny man is missing but i get he probably was fucking ANNOYING to retry.

Yooo, we both did push-ups while tryna no damage a boss. In Yakuza 3, I tried Tamashiro 2 or some boss and Everytime I failed I did pushups. I think I did 60? Tho, respect with the pushups dawg.

You could have avoided drones by blocking

Honestly Shishido is a way better final boss fight for Kiryu than the boring guy from 6

1:12:09 the kurohyou games (both of them) now have fan translation patches. I hoping rgg studios make a kurohyou kiwami someday

Was there no amon fight?

Fellow yellow subtitle enjoyer

Funny to see Gaiden no damage uploaded before Ishin Kiwami's. Man they really fumbled it

This was a fantastic video! I agree with a lot of your issues with the combat and I wished it did strike a better balance than it did, and there are a lot of annoying design choices that I felt like held the combat back a lotttttttt. When I was playing this game I knew it would be an active, active pain in the ass to no damage because of how enemies work in this game specifically like god damn man, I think a huge issue too in this game is that I think getting juggles outside of the dodge punish move can feel a bit too harsh and constraining thus limiting your ability to really do juggling and getting down cool looking combos which I think is unfortunate. I think not having like the Yakuza 6/Kiwami 2 parry was a huge miss in this game too and could have helped a lot in some boss fights in allowing for cool combo stuff. I think though the story is top 2 in the series for me (between it and Yakuza 5) personally, yeah it isn't the most important in the larger sense of the series but I think the way it handles Kiryu and his struggles is really really really good. It does a good job of utilizing his character flaws in such a unique and compelling way which I was super invested into, and I think his dynamics with everyone was great. I think the ways the game utilizes the various Yakuza characters to help reflect the issues of the Yakuza crime syndicate is really great (especially with Shishido) and does a great job of reflecting Kiryu in a really compelling way. I just found myself really engaged in each moment, especially because I think this game does a great job in reflecting Kiryu's character journey in a really compelling way in so many minor lines of dialogue I adored a lot. That's me doe. Regardless sick as hell video, and yeah Shishido is such a godlike final boss thank u rgg.

No new game+ is ass 😭

we're back

59:27 It isn't. I'm glad you aren't trying to say that as if it's fact, because those two songs sound literally nothing alike.

after all u do chill in kamurocho in yakuza 8

I disagree with you on the story, but it does have some missed opportunities. For one thing, for a game that has Kiryu dressed up kind of like a James Bond like agent, there are little to no spying. No stealth, no infilitration, no collecting intelligence, not even disguises. Like, come on. When Judgement and Lost Judgement came out they had Yagami do that, so why not Kiryu? Also, there are no mention of Kaoru Sayama, which is sad, since she was pretty much a wasted character after Yakuza 2 and 3. There's also no mention on the plot elements from other games, like, why did Kazama killed Kiryu's parents? What happened to that promise he made with Aizawa in Yakuza 5? Also, for someone who's a agent, Kiryu does a TERRIBLE job of covering up his true identity. (Come on, that sunglasses won't fool anybody.) However despite these issues, the story has the most emotional ending for Kiryu, and even made him into a badass genius, especially with the stunt he pulled with Homare.

Call me crazy but I've yet to play any of the games with English audio...just English subs

Commentary

wheres the amon no damage, i've been scammed, bamboozled even

There's only one difficult Yakuza game and it's called Spikeout. This is legit the hardest 1CC, no damage is literally impossible in this game. It was made by the team who worked on the early Yakuza games. To be honest i thought Gaiden would be a big trash game that would piss on all the rest of the cast that was spared the modern re-write and character destruction but at the end it was just a goofy ass super mega easy DLC of Y2K, without any fix to it, 5 steps behind lost judgement gameplay and a giant fucking ADVERT for Y8.

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong with Ukita. He keeps shooting me. Super frustrating and this guy's playing it on max difficulty like a breeze. Can someone help this crappy gamer?

Like a Roblux the man who erased his name no damage when?

Too much complaining about how this game doesn't hand you freebies. You wish Yakuza style was super fast despite the high damage it does? You wish you could safely dodge out of everything in a millisecond? You wish attacks didn't require dedication and that you could freely play without using your brain? Come on now, this series already has such a low bar for difficulty, the game simply wouldn't be fun with this stuff.

The ending was bad, but also a bit good

I installed the like a dragon gaiden deluxe mod and it significantly improves the combat
