Honestly would of been great if they included in the boxing minigame in lost judgement as like an extra special secret fight you unlock after finishing the story of it
_He's no longer a Muppet. He's now Born to be Wild._ Sht joke aside, I love Kurohyou 2 a lot. The custom style is fun to mess around with, the side content is plentiful, and ost is still fire. (Speaking of ost. I hate how ougon soul was used once in a cut-scene and never again. It's an amazing song!)
going through it right now, and man is early game rough, since you barely have stamina and both styles you come with punish you even more with less stamina for some reason. Seriously if they ever remake it, boxer should be given a stamina buff with punch damage or at least not make it decrease stamina effectiveness.
The whole "getting bumped into triggers a fight" was already technically a thing in Y3 and Y4 (you pass right next to them and it triggers a QTE) and it's been implemented proper in Y5 as well (it starts the fight with a different cutscene than the usual fight start)
This game was direct upgrade in everything from first game, plus the new styles and biggest plus was when you imported K1 save file you got access to 2 insanely powerful styles right from the start even on lvl1 (they later got outclassed by *cough* wild dance mastery *cough* ). Shame this game never had continuation where we play as adult Tatsuya.
Even has a better translation. I know, done by fans and is an unfair comparison. Just saying. The first game's translation was unfinished and literally game breaking. While the 2nd has a mostly finished translation
IMO Kurohyou 2 is by far the most direct sequel in the series. The two games are far more tied than any of the other games, that only gave a few ties between them
I can't wait for the Kurohyou 1 full English patch to come out so I can finish this masterpiece and then play the 2nd. Tatsuya is such a GOAT protagonist.
If it weren't for a weird technical issue in chapter 5 (unable to outrun the thugs at the start of the chapter), I'd be enjoying both Kurohyou games on my emulator. But since I don't want to keep messing with my emulator setup, just to get through a specific part in 1 game. I can still be happy with having just the 1st game (with a fully finished English patch) I still have hope both games get a legitimate western release someday. I mean if Ishin can get a western release, I don't see why these can't.
Imagine making a Kurohyou 2 video and never mentioning the game featuring like 3-4 Shonan no kaze songs that play during some cutscenes like when Ougon Soul played when Tamotsu found his courage to fight an opponent way stronger than him with all his strength and the lyrics being something like "stand up, get up run until you collapse" or when "M" is dying and Tomoyo plays a song about friendship and the lyrics being "don't lose my friend wait for me" or something or how could we forget born to be wild? The picks are something else it's like Shonan no kaze made these songs specifically for these particular cutscenes but they didn't there was just a dev who was a huge fan of them and knew the right songs
Well, this is my stop. This series has been great but I'm getting a bit burnt out so I'll probably finish Yakuza 5 in like. A year from now and I'm not risking spoilers so I'm stopping here. Thanks for making these videos, they're seriously great!
Note about bumping in to the yakuza dude: *THE MAN HAS EITHER GOD HAND OR GOD LEG AS A FIGHTING STYLE DEPENDING ON WHICH CITY YOU ARE IN. THE TWO STYLES ARE BOTH STYLES YOU’LL FIND IN MIDGAME/ENDGAME AND CAN EASILY STUNLOCK YOU FOR HIS ENTIRE COMBO. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING, SAY GOODBYE TO EITHER YOUR LEGS OR HEAD BECAUSE THEY WILL BE SHATTERED WITHIN TWO SECONDS*
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it Back D-pad + O God hand is very easy to counter imo God legs is.... pretty hard tbh. It has a perk where the back attack (Spinning back kick for the style) cannot be countered and the front attack doesn't have a wind up like god hand Both styles have easy to counter recovery attack though
Don't know why, but the one thing I truly remember about this game is the godawful starter stage stamina. Not even Taizan style made things more tolerable on that front, it's "suffer roughly to level 15" and then it, thankfully, gets better. But, other than that, I still enjoyed it for the most part.
@@keifujitora6587 It takes quite a bit of time to get it though, IIRC. Wasn't it supposed to be given to you upon upgrading Extreme Awakening? I mean, that's the style with the aforementioned perk.
@@keifujitora6587I don't think stamina becomes a problem after a little while though? I haven't gotten any stamina problems after I've reached halfway through the game
@@NiCoNiCoNiCola And one of those early styles, while supposedly being grab-centered (yes, looking at you there, Pro Wrestling), has a DEBUFF on grab speed. Seriously, who thought this was a good idea? Who thought it made a single lick of sense?
I want Daigo's gunman training spin-off I don't care how dumb it sounds (because it is), but we gotta know why he's so cracked at firearms that could rival Kazama.
I really like how the bosses were integrated into the story in this game compared to the first, since you usually spend the entire chapter figuring out their little scheme and they are a major dick to you the entire chapter, so its satisfying to be able to beat the shit out of them at the end of it
Both Kurohyou games I guess, Tatsuya uses both brawler and boxer canonically because of cutscenes and the stories from both games. Also got a PSVita just to play these 2 games because I want to try out while remembering that it has the Nintendo 3DS type battery unless playing while charging.
Only real downside I had with this game is that the problem you touched on in the first game's video with all the bosses feeling like weekly shonen anime villains who just get completely thrown out and forgotten after you beat, which I sorta think is even worse in this game due to how Tatsuya's character is set-in-stone from all his development, so he doesn't really "play off" any of the villains or have anything to learn from them like in first game. Don't get me wrong, I *do* think Tatsuya keeping all his character development was the right call to prevent falling into that same trap that quite a few of the mainline games fall into, but I also feel like it *kinda* resulted in us getting a weaker boss roster overall this time around. As it stands, the only villains in this game that I feel made an impact in this game were: -Kinjo, for being pretty entertaining, having my favorite piece of the OST with Struggle Gold Castle, and for a certain VERY villainous act that I won't spoil, but if ya know ya know -Akita, for actually having a consistent presence throughout the game as the head of Ashura (the rival faction) -The final boss, who I won't say anything about to avoid spoilers...but trust me he's an amazing final boss, especially in comparison to the first game's final boss
That's true, however I think it works less with 8th Legions of Ashura, which literally lose all of their value after their loss. I do kinda wish Tsurumi's goon had a better presence in-game, seeing how he's one of the few characters from the first game to make it into the sequel
at 10:09 you mention playing the game on a PS Vita. Curious about this, is this playing on a PSP Emulator on the Vita, or is there a native way to play PSP games on a Vita?
You can play PSP games on the Vita, but only digitally. I'm sure there's some way to get the iso from the PSP discs so you can chuck them on your Vita to play them, but because the online PSP store is gone and not everyone has a physical copy lying around the easiest thing is probably just homebrew your vita and use the Adrenaline PSP emulator. So yes it is possible to play PSP games natively on a Vita, but I just played Kurohyou 2 on a PSP emulator on the Vita
really dont understand why they doubled down on the problems with the first one. the group encounters are still horrible to go through, they made enemy grabs even more annoying to deal with and your stamina decreases even faster also they added a crowd that sorrounds every street fight your in that exists just to be annoying.
While I don't see this game ever getting localized I don't see a reason why Japan can't get these games on PS+'s Classic Catalogue. We also have trophies on a few of the PSP titles like Locco Rocco.... So Japan has a lot of potential to see these games re-released Then us in the west can just change region and download them....and then I guess learn Japanese too
Because "portable console" doesn't exist now. Everything is either pc, game centered pc that goes to the living room, or slightly more compact pc that goes in the bag.
tournaments in krh2 were easier than 1 but GOD DAMN were they fun with the improved (in my opinion) gameplay its so sad that rgg studios cant see the potential localizing this game has - there are aplenty fighting game otaku around the world, since the story is separate from mainline yakuza you dont need previous knowledge of the lore, and if they fall in love with the world, they could reach for other yakuza games. Maybe it's some sort of an issue with synsophia? they were kinda dormant for a while, so maybe some shit happened behind the scenes i just think that its weird that money loving sega wouldnt pump out khy to the west when they sent off goddam Dead Souls.
I'm pretty sure it took until Kiwami 1 for mainline series to introduce Autosaving and Manual Saving, even in 0 you're stuck with Phone Booths and that game was made in 2015 ffs
I enjoyed my time overall but I find this game has a huge amount of filler compared to the first game and the story to be much worse. A lot of positive changes as mentioned, but overall, given I like to do these games 100%, I liked the first game a lot more.
RGG really doesn’t like love interests do they? WAIT WAIT WAIT! They completed the sequel translation first and then went back to the first game to translate it? What kind of shit is that? 😂
