The game is absolutely worth every penny though. Pacing takes a hit, but seriously there's SO MUCH. The sheer amount of content in the game is also staggering, for better or for worse. The jazzy, laid back "cool" factor is toned down a little bit in the songs in favor of a lot more electronic noise (which I still love).
The soundtrack is phenomenal-though I may disagree with the comments I've found lurking about that it's head over heels better than Judgment's. A lot less of the bad ass QTE moments that really get the blood pumping, which was a slight bit disappointing.
#LOST JUDGMENT SCHOOL STORIES SERIES#
In terms of "hype" moments that the series is known for, I feel that there wasn't quite as much in this game. In this day in age, it can come off as rather in poor taste, even if it does fit the story. No doubt, though, some aspects were questionable and/or should've been approached in a different manner. A lot of it is extremely effective and thought provoking. It tackles by far the most morally ambiguous, complex issues in the series to date. At first I was confused-no way it was THAT bad, but I decided to play some of the remaster after I finished LJ, and it's an absolute step up.
I have fond memories of the original Judgment and found people saying that the combat is leaps and bounds above the first. I absolutely loved my time with Lost Judgment. My personal opinion: I finish the game twice more than 100 hours, is my second favorite game of the entire franchise, yakuza 0 still my favorite because I’m a kiryu fanboy lol some of the dlc help you to complete the school stories faster and easier Now about the dlc, is worth it because of Kaito dlc in the next couple of months. Gameplay is better, side cases are better, the combat is the best in the franchise so far, there is a whole secondary story about the school ( is worth it), the mini games are amazing, the boxing minigame is one of the best after cabaret club and taxi. but everything else ? Lost judgment is a better game That been said lost judgment story may have mix of opinion, and some people think that the first judgment have better story. lame, I personally have not issue with it, I enjoy it Lost judgment story is not bland, it actually have two of the best RGG antagonist of all time, the story is not bland but people find topic like bullying, sexual harassment. Lmao first of all.ign is not always right, probably just 20% right
