I gotta say I absolutely adore Dead Souls, enough so that I wrote a full guide for it. It's such a weird piece of history in the series and has a lot of charm to be found within it. The story is nice since it has literally no stupid or annoying plot twists plus you've got the best characterization for all of the main characters (this is BY FAR the best version of Akiyama and Majima). The combat's definitely not great but I feel once you realize all your camera/aiming/shooting is directly based on your character's orientation it makes it a lot easier to get used to. I really feel Dead Souls shines on replays since it's so swift to get through, even if you do all the side content, and there aren't many sections of the game that require much thought to get through (plus it actually has effort put into it unlike the two remakes in the series).
It feels like the devs should have taken more inspiration from Dead Rising. A Dragon Engine version of Dead Souls with a larger shift towards melee crowd combat (and more durable melee weapons) might be interesting, although I'd rather see it as a complete re-imagining of the concept than a remaster or remake.
I would prefer an emphasis on guns personally, it is a zombie game and seeing our main cast use guns is refreshing after so long using fist and melee weapons. Though it could be best to take the Ishin approach and give players multiple options (albeit said options will be weaker than just having one option).
ah yes the american dream to be forklift certified🦅🇺🇸 still though i find it funny that their attempt to appeal to americans failed yet years later the main games got popular here anyway.
@@Toastoffire100 love both you guys but that man is going to drop a 30-hour video someday and my obsessive brain will obligate me to watch it in one sitting
@@Toastoffire100 I think you guys have a similar sense of humor, but different (enough) style. You're not as edgy, in a good way. The similarity mostly comes from: - Rapid-fire / joke-dense content.

@@azizabdul8914 I started with Yakuza 0 and was hooked instantly just finished 6 a few days ago honestly one of the if not the best beat em up open world game series I’ve ever played
UA-cam "Review": Watch one video from a channel you don't know because it keeps showing up in your recommended™| Fall down the the ♂dopamine♂rabbithole ™
*(Cue Indiana Jones Travel Theme)* Back to the hunt! For this Fools Gold, I already know where I probably could get a copy I just need to find the time and a working ps3 controller. Maybe…. Also your content is *very* good imma sun (I kinda wanna see what a remake of this game would look like).
I know I’m a year late but this game could’ve been getting a remake and I’m begging for it but keeping the replay ability but I’m kinda scared that it would not be there. Update: the more I watch the video I feel like Dead Souls wasn’t ready since it on hardware(at the time) and had been on PS4 and Xbox One it might run better than PS3
Finally managed to get a physical copy for my PS3. Still somewhat fun. Although (because psn is dead and I can’t download the free dlc items) the grinding for certain items is nigh on insufferable. I was practically pulling my hair out trying to get aggro medals and fattie forks for half of my play through. Still I agree. The only other complaint I have with the game is that idk if it’s my controller or what, but sometimes when I’m in over the shoulder (L1) mode, the camera will just straight up not want to go to the left, which has gotten me stuck a few times. Despite all that though, while it is a weird black sheep and a low point for the series, I still consider it to be an alright game.
A stupid easy way to make like iver 10 million yen is the second purgatory opens just use the cheat item for roulette and buy 1000 chips so when you win you get 36000 chips and just fill up on platinum plates the other is saving before you go to baccarat and just keep winning and saving in between while quitting to menu every loss and do that to 100,000 chips and you will never worry about money ever again
I was once in a yakuza discord server got banned cause i called out that many of the users and mods literally kept harassing me cause i have autism and a furry. But the one thing i remember about that place is that everyday they would praise Yakuza Dead Souls. And at this point even if Dead Souls is shit i unironically love it.
I hope you didn’t take it personally, you’re better than them if they stoop low enough to hate on you for your interests or minor details that you couldn’t do anything about. May I ask, what were they like when it came to the RGG Of The End talk?
@@Sparket Mainly they where meme'ing that was actually good or underrated or being good. Or actually being legit it was a good game. The server had it's own discord server emote which was just literally the cover of the game. Also thank you for the kind words Literally Me
Old video I know... You nailed it... Even playing it on emulator was a good idea... I haven't suffered any bad frame rates but what gets me is the incessant load times between every clip of a cutscene... Every area...just about every everything. And yes, the combat is absolute garbage. Someone said to treat this game more like an RPG than a third person shooter... Can see that because you're constantly taking damage which is unavoidable. More often than not your spamming your weapons till they're out of ammo and then relying on your infinite ammo weapons. Battles over heal up and move on. But I can't get over how bad it feels to explore. None of the quests have any kind of marker. The stages are so badly built that I constantly find myself returning to the point I came in. Honestly, after trying to run just three side quests I decided that I wanted nothing to do with any side quest, any mini game or any anything beyond just running straight through the story and getting this game over with...🤷🏻♂️
Harukas got some questionable ass shit in this game, and after the scene in y4 with saejima, i strongly question some of the devs at RGG in the ps3 era. The stripper pole thing, wearing a schoolgirl outfit, immediately that room gets attacked by a fucking tentacle monster, and that alt karaoke outfit, dear god, now that im finally playing it I am seriously wondering if the PS3 era devs were just straight diddlers, shits disgusting
Is there really that much of it? I’m only on 4 right now and yeah that saejima scene was horrible, does this shit still appear that frequently in the mainline games that much or does it disappear soon?
If you are gonna cover the other yakuza games, save kurohyou for later as much as it pains me. If you are bigger, more people will see, and hopefully, PLAY it, cause it goes hard.
Yeah it'll definitely be a while, 'cause I'd like to cover the mainline games first. Plus the longer I wait, the better the emulators and fan translation mods will get
@@Toastoffire100 Kurohyou 2's is already perfect (unless you wanna do half the part time jobs or hostess clubs but admittedly im drowning in money i dont know what to do with anymore and I aint even halfway through the game) But kurohyou 1 is just...main story. Gotta fucking guess everything else. Aint they finishing up one for Kurohyou 1? Like, a full one, made by the same people who made the one for 2?
Dead Souls isn't bad in concept, but the devs really should have just contracted the development of the game to another company; preferably with actual experience in shooters and they just license out the story and characters lol.
In Y Zero, Kiryu was ráped a few times by so so women, thanks to teltel clud substories. So mr. producer is wrong on Kiryu's virginity. In game it looked like remaining a virgin wasnt an option😢
Found you through Sseth, and I'm a fan of most of the vidya games you covered, and damn do I say thank god I found this channel. Also (((gatling gun hand)))
I literally have it set to "allow all comments" but UA-cam just yeets a bunch for no reason. My favorites are when people say something like "hope you blow up" and UA-cam thinks they mean "I hope you actually explode and die" lmao

Can I read them?
You now have the title of cum zombie enjoyer
"Haruka's tied to the stripper pole"
"I'm just rattling off shit that made me smile"
*slow eyebrow raise*
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
How dare this game have the gall to have one of the best majima karaoke songs in the series.

Even the title reminds me of Sseth ngl
He sounds like a younger, more hip Seth
This is like if they tried to make yazukza into a Dead Rising. Should of listen to more "way I am" by Eminem.
Ryuji with a minigun arm is enough to sell me on the game.
I wish this game was rereleased and Kenzan and ishin were localized bro I'd be happy
Literally just 60fps would make it so much more manageable rgg plz
@@Toastoffire100 that would be lovely as well
This channel really is a hidden gem
