I know i shouldnt shame people on how to play games but when i saw people playing the demo and only using 1 style kinda hurts seeing it. Thank you for doing a video on this Dillon!!
Seems like it is no Lost Judgment in terms of fluidity, but still faster than most Yakuza games. Apparently, Ishin is also the hardest RGG game with the hardest Amon fight.
@@chrisossu2070 that should make it BETTER, Dragon Engine is a mess, Unreal Allows for infinite flexibility and yet this is what they manage to put out... Japanese devs truly are incompetent
goated work as always i always loved your performance on og ishin so its always good to see you make badass stuff for this new remake as well even tho its just the demo nice stuff
Does anyone else feel like the combat in the remake has some choppy auto-targeting when performing heavy attacks? As far as I remember, the original didn't have that.
I feel the og had this problem too, but really only with the full sword combo where the last hit in the charge combo would usually never hit the enemy. It doesn’t really seem to be a problem in this game cause it looks like every other style is just better than the sword style, especially with the brawler style having an absolute monstrous amount of speed now
My man's here cooking everyone properly, as Nagoshi always intended. Coombos worth the subscroob. Combat seems a bit wonky and from what I saw from the comments here, some of my fears surfaced but nothing a minor patch can't fix, at least the overly sticky auto-lock at least. Now to see if they kept the original songs in the remake.
I’m relatively new to Yakuza/Like A Dragon: have beat 1 through 5. But I also have Fist of the North Star. Now I’m on Ishin, in Ch.4, so the card system hasn’t been introduced yet and have been wondering what they are exactly. Though now seeing some in action, they seem to be similar to Fist of the North Star’s Destiny Talisman system. I don’t use them much, though I really should be if I’m being honest. Which given now that I’m seen what the cards are capable of ahead of time, I think I’ll be far more inclined to use them as well as the Talismans in Fist of the North Star as well.
As a person who hasn't played the original this game feels very odd to me, usually Yakuza games have very fluid combat but in the demo it feels a bit stiff to control Ryoma. I wonder if this an issue with the remake itself or if it's meant to be that way
have you tried doing the classic wild dance combo where you hit them 3 times dodge behind them hit 3 times repeat? does it work like that cause from it sounds like they turn around pretty quickly
is there an any difference between original's combo feel and kiwami ishin's? Did you felt any difference? I only spent just a couple of hours with the original so I wanted to ask
@@TheGamerfreak125 I think it’s just that the Iframe window is really short so you don’t notice it, also hand to hand was incredibly slow in the original so a small increase mattered a lot more
For 2:22 that’s the standard rush combo for gun, just press triangle 3 times after you press Square, for the bound combo at 3:30 you mainly just get enemies into a bound state(when he was about to fall down) then get behind him and just press Square x amount of times before you dodge cancel with X and then press Square again x amount of times
Sword is way better for single targets rather than groups, also use its counters since they’re the best part of the style, too bad they aren’t available in the demo though
Like he said all the good sword abilities aren’t in the demo for some reason. With the right upgrades it’s a defensive counter focused style that’s good at knocking down enemies and lowering their defense
Hey, I played through the entire game cuz I got early access and my primary issue with the game was actually the combat. I felt like the combat styles were pretty cool and interesting on their own but then it became really mind numbing over time because the different combat styles don't really synergize or flow together even with upgrades. I felt like switching between styles on the fly felt kinda clunky and the game's mechanics were kind of messy. Like sticky movement, inconsistent hitboxes and annoying hyper armor on the bosses. I feel like the game would've really benefited from the instant style switching from Yakuza Kiwami or some of the abilities or polish you'd find in Lost Judgment. I'd like to have your opinion since you seem to have a good grasp on the combat in this game and other RGG titles.
I haven’t actually played through the Kiwami ver of the game yet, I have played through the original though, from a Birds Eye view of it I think it looks worse than the original, the boss design in the original allowed you to actually hit them.
@@DillionT Yeah the magic on the bosses is just goofy. At least they're easy to avoid by just blocking from my experience. The hyperarmor is my primary annoyance on the boss fights along with the wonky hitboxes. I'm kind of curious about the original now. I will say that just looking at the gameplay of the original, the game looks more atmospheric, can't comment on gameplay since I haven't played it but I'd be interested to do so down the line to see if the remake butchered the bosses. I hope you end up liking the combat in the remake more than I did when you get the chance to play through it. I'd love to get your thoughts when you end up doing so cuz I just posted a review on the game and was wondering if I was just crazy lol. Thanks for your time!
@@DillionT Hey, I tried out that instant switching tech you mentioned on my video. Turns out it's an ability you have to unlock in the Brawler tree called Sheathed Blade but it's pretty far into the tree which sucks, I feel like it should really be one of the first abilities or just a straight up basic function because it really changed the flow of combat for me. Thanks for letting me know that it even existed!
Also really hoping the actual game has a combo speed upgrade for Swordsman style bec my god its combos are slow as fuck. The combos themselves and their hit reaction is fun tho.
Are you ready for ishin difficulty? Datamined modifiers are: 70% less heat generation, 75% less healing and damage received x9. That's compared to normal. Damage dealt is the same.
You think gunman is going to get nerfed? Seems obscenely powerful compared to the other 3 styles. Going through the demo on all difficulties you can just cheese everything, they even give you acid rounds for armor
@@DillionT ahh shit, I guess I’ll just avoid using it then. Was fine and quite amusing for the demo but I’d imagine not very fun for the whole game when you can play it like you did here instead which looks like a lot of fun!
@@daveedwards4681 if u look at a lot of no damage runs in og ishin almost everyone uses gun style on bosses laying down Cause then they wont block and Just Get a solid 70% of their health bar gone In og ishin most bosses can block the gun style so its mostly op for normal enemies and cheese tactics
I did notice the game had some stutter issues first time I played but it smoothed out over time. Just so ya know the PC I'm playing on is p damn good so I won't notice performance problems that much
Yakuza fans when gotta wait a whole day to play the game (they have already mastered the combat)
fr
A day? How about nearly 10 years? Lol
so refreshing to see someone who’s not a game journalist playing the game

It's also the first game where he gets his special theme
It should be noted that this game isn't being made on the Dragon Engine.
I don't think it will be difficult after you find and upgrade your cards.
It’s more like 0 than Judgment.
@@chrisossu2070 that should make it BETTER, Dragon Engine is a mess, Unreal Allows for infinite flexibility and yet this is what they manage to put out... Japanese devs truly are incompetent
Now that's a good display of skill! I was pleasantly surprised by how challenging Legend difficulty felt, definitely enjoyed my time on the demo too!

Thank you so much. This is what I needed.
Been waiting to get your hands on Ishin can't wait to see more crazy stuffs 🔥
Loving the combat so far (i have never played ishin before)
Been waiting on your video on this
They got the yakuza 4 falling animations, you already know endless combos are gonna go crazy
have fun endlessly comboing some random ass thugs i guess with the same 2 attacks
Does anyone else feel like the combat in the remake has some choppy auto-targeting when performing heavy attacks? As far as I remember, the original didn't have that.
Yeah the sticky targeting is good for bounding but sometimes it sticks to enemies that I don’t wanna hit
@@DillionT is there option to disable that also are you play on legend
@@nhan27. playing on Hard, and I don’t think there is an option to disable
@@DillionT well that shame also man this game is pretty brutal no matter what difficulty like even with or without the cards

You even changed your profile to show that
Happy to see you can still Y3 juggle enemies, even if there are improvements to be made regarding juggle windows.
Legend Remix Ishin when?
☝️☝️☝️
Only after Y6 remix

Oh, you here as well…
Can’t wait to play this game when I come back from work
I didn't just play Yakuza Ishin, i sat my white ass down and listened
This is a legit preview of what I would expect to deal with. I’ll be getting this soon to play it.
This is yakuza and DMC if they had a child, and im somewhat for it
Not really
Nothing like DMC

Wish there would be a classic mode like in halo mcc but im just happy we finally got ishin
Just a few more days til I get my hands on this game
Kyodais spoilers for the bathhouse battle :(
you can barely see ryuji's ass now, there's more fog in the qte
Nooooooo, RyujAss is gone!!
Aw I wanted to see Ryuji's ass in 4K :(
I really dislike the fact that you can't look through your abilities, couldn't know what kind of skills Ryoma possesses during the demo.
Bounding is back⁉️
As a person who hasn't played the original this game feels very odd to me, usually Yakuza games have very fluid combat but in the demo it feels a bit stiff to control Ryoma. I wonder if this an issue with the remake itself or if it's meant to be that way
Prolly just early game Yakuza things
@@DillionT I see :)
@@noima13 yea this demo has like zero upgraded skills, quickstep combos go hard
@@bonkgameing Although the base combos are much faster compared to OG.
I mean we don't even know any combos yet so it's just button mashing and muscle memory for now
its gonna take a while for me to get used to not centering the camera with L2 lol
One thing I'll say is an improvement is switching mid combo with other styles than just hand to hand.
have you tried doing the classic wild dance combo where you hit them 3 times dodge behind them hit 3 times repeat? does it work like that cause from it sounds like they turn around pretty quickly
It’s impossible now since they insta turn and have random hyperarmor
Gamer move
is there an any difference between original's combo feel and kiwami ishin's? Did you felt any difference? I only spent just a couple of hours with the original so I wanted to ask
You can bound and Ryoma has sticky targeting, also hand to hand is way faster but deals worse damage than Y3 on Legend
@@DillionT I feel like there wasn't even a speed boost when you parry with hand to hand it just stays the same speed.
@@TheGamerfreak125 I think it’s just that the Iframe window is really short so you don’t notice it, also hand to hand was incredibly slow in the original so a small increase mattered a lot more
@@DillionT Now that I did notice, which is a really nice change
@@DillionT oh so a little bit upgrade and a little bit downgrade from what I understand
How did you do these combos at 2:22 and 3:30? What buttons did you pressed?
For 2:22 that’s the standard rush combo for gun, just press triangle 3 times after you press Square, for the bound combo at 3:30 you mainly just get enemies into a bound state(when he was about to fall down) then get behind him and just press Square x amount of times before you dodge cancel with X and then press Square again x amount of times
@@DillionT Ok thank you so much
Any comments on how to utilize sword mode? It seems like wild dance is just strictly better. I’m new to the Ishin so really not getting that stance.
Sword is way better for single targets rather than groups, also use its counters since they’re the best part of the style, too bad they aren’t available in the demo though
Like he said all the good sword abilities aren’t in the demo for some reason. With the right upgrades it’s a defensive counter focused style that’s good at knocking down enemies and lowering their defense
Really wish this was available on ps4
LIKE A DRAGON ISHIN DEMO BUT GOATDILLION MAKES IT BUSSIN
That infinite loop at 6:10 seems weirdly busted, I presume it’s only working because that enemy never dodges or blocks anything?
I think so
Yakuza 3 type wall bounding fr
I thought card system would break the game but its actually realy fun to use , I enjoyed the demo very much :)
It does break the game but they’re fun
@@DillionT they gave us the option to disable them and damage numbers atleast but bosses still can use them
Dude I can't believe more people aren't subbing
That is true
lol those cards are hard to ignore
Apparently you can remove them from the UI.
Oh shit they released a demo for this?

like a dragon is coming out tomorrow

am i not mistakening that there wasn't y3-4 style wall bounce juggling in og game? (like here 0:45)
It is
It has hyperarmor bull and no knockdown combos tho
@@thatitalianlameguy2235 yep, hyperarmor for all bosses didn’t exist in the original too
@@DillionT rgg try not to actively make worse combat in remakes challenge failed (k1 had shit bosses so it's a half improvement)
@@thatitalianlameguy2235 the average K1 boss has better boss design than every boss in Ishin Kiwami
What style is the most fun from what you played so far
Wild dance cause you can combo with it, swordsman is decent but slow asf, hand to hand deals like no damage to the enemy, and gun exists
I saw you opening Like a Dragon: Ishin in steam, I expected that you'd make this type of a video hehe
👍👍

So is the Y3 style wall bounding in by default? Or do you need a special card for it?
