Damn i think emotional moments will hurt in this one

Yeah, I'm not super worried about it. Should be a fun time.

I just remember playing 0 and not getting a lot of the random connects, took me out of it. Feel like it's a prequel to be played after you have some context

So I switched to kiwami 1, never put it down, essentially 100% it. Then went back, loved it

People love story in 8 but for me IT was one of the weakest so i will judge IT myself

Kiwami 1 heavily assumes you played 0 since it added things from 0 to it

IW story was abysmal imo. I had a ton of fun actually playing it, but the story brought it down a couple points for me, particularly due to the antagonists. I think I'll enjoy this one quite a bit though. I actually really liked Gaiden's story (actually made me more OK with 6's ending lol), but I just wish it was a bigger game.

wanna play this but i have 5 mainline games to go through

The combat is great. Try the demo

That makes more sense now lol, worked both ways I guess

Yeah in the OG version Majima only shows up 3 times in the game and he's supposed to be more mysterious. Like oh s*** it's Majima kinda energy

Then they made the Majima everywhere system for Kiwami 1 and it becomes more goofy lol as well as adding scenes from 0 and stuff to Kiwami

I have like 9

He has amnesia so he doesn't know what happened either

Been trying to play all day but keep getting wrapped up in work s***

Time for Yakuza portion for the year

They cooked
Hope its longer than gaiden

Will be diving in this weekend

Ayumi Tanida from Tokyo Vice is here

GOTY I’m afraid

This series is so repetitive now jesus

With changed combat is kinda fresh

The move to turn based RPG on the other LAD games + this game having a newer beat ‘em up combat has refreshed but at what point do they call this s*** a day and start up a new IP?

Brother where have you been ktt2.com/project-century-32581283

& they're making virtua fighter 6

& yakuza will never be called a day, it makes the shareholders at sega happy, it's cheap and consistent because they reuse assets, and has a cult like fanbase. it'd be like saying when are pokemon or mario games gonna be called a day

Kiryu and Majima on Yakuza 12

he already like 55 or pushing 60 they gotta finally let my guy walk off into the sunset eventually as ichiban's story progresses

which was an issue with infinite wealth imo. it really made ichiban take a backseat to get kiryu's arc off and they always find a way to keep dragging him back
