I’m sure you’ve seen the term “RNG” floating around the internet now and then, but not everyone knows what it means. It stands for “Random Number Generation” and basically it means anything that happens at random in a videogame. Monster encounters in an RPG and critical hits are two examples of RNG. So what does RNG have to do with a game about a skateboarding kung fu detective investigating a school bullying case in the port town of Isezaki Ijincho?
As part of Yagami’s investigation in Lost Judgment, he’s asked to join several school clubs. While boxing does rely on a certain amount of RNG, this can be mitigated somewhat by lowering the difficulty level. You have to win a game of poker, which by its very nature is always going to be heavily RNG and super annoying— but understandably so as it’s a game of chance (and bluffing) in real life too. I thought that a quest line had broken because it turned out that whether or not the characters are there each time is RNG, and you have to pay a ¥2,000 entry fee each time just to find out!
