This week in the comments
A quiet but expectant week: the community is still fixated on the combat showcase, begging for a demo and a release date, while digging into pricing and character theories. The tone stays overwhelmingly upbeat, with some technical gripes about video quality and hit pacing.
The demo obsession
Roughly 10% of this week's comments beg for a playable demo, with some betting on a December drop right before launch.
Combat showcase praised but paced criticized
The new combat wins over much of the audience, but several point out slow animations and passive enemies — a theme that later becomes a bigger debate.
Preorders climbing
Several commenters say they've already preordered the physical or digital edition, a strong confidence signal despite no firm release date.
Video quality called out
Several complain about a grainy, low-bitrate video on the showcase footage, suggesting YouTube is nudging viewers toward paid 4K.
The theme song still demanded
As since May, part of the thread keeps demanding the game's theme song be released, a running saga since the cast trailer.
Top reactions and controversies
"RELEASE THE SONG": the community's obsession
Dominant takeSince the musical cast reveal in May, an enormous share of comments across periods talk about one thing only: getting the official release of the song performed by Ado, Snoop Dogg, Tori Kelly and Satoshi Fujihara. The phenomenon has eclipsed the game itself.
The musical cast that broke the internet
Dominant takeThe reveal of Ado and Snoop Dogg as playable characters triggered a near-unanimous wave of excitement, cementing the game's image as 'larger than life' for the community.
Tojo clan origin theories
Dominant takeSince the announcement, the community has poured enormous energy into dissecting character names (Daito, Shinjo) to guess how the famous Tojo clan from the Yakuza series comes to be.
The combat divide: realism vs sluggishness
ControversyAfter hands-on impressions from journalists and players, the new limb-based combat system splits opinion: some praise its brutal realism, others call it slow, stiff, and full of sponge enemies.
Tupac: a major controversy over digital resurrection
ControversyTupac's appearance (he died in 1996) as a playable character sparks deep division: some celebrate it as a tribute to his legacy, others call it a commercial exploitation of his memory without his consent.
