    Holy shit the stuff in the sewers in chapter...6?

    I'm never ready for when this game goes Metal Gear-crazy

    That bit is such a highlight

    It's so ultra-dramatic

    I would have lost my shit if that had been in a movie I was watching, let alone a game I was playing

    Oh my god the rest of chapter 6

    That was one of the best dramatic scenes I've ever seen in a video game?

    Like, that's a top-shelf scene in a really, really good TV show

    It really shows when the people in charge of directing cutscenes in video games have some kind of film knowledge or experience

    Yakuza's prerendered cutscenes are some of the absolute best in the biz

    I'm experiencing it primarily through Giant Bomb's series

    That was about where I went "well shit, maybe I should pick it back up for myself"

    Also I love that they were so disappointed to go back to Kiryu after falling in love with Majima

    and then the Kiryu stuff was spellbinding

    This game somehow makes me love the bad guys but also want to beat the hell out of them. They're all great and also total shitheads.

    Depends on how much side stuff you do

    If you just beeline the main plot, it's not that long

    If you also do most of the shorter sidequests, it's probably somewhere around 20 hours

    If you really get deep into the real estate and hostess club minigames, then you're probably in for a pretty long game

    After completing boss fights/cut scenes you can view em again in the menu right after if it takes you a while to get through it and you forget stuff like me

    Im playing through on legend now and salt is a good thing to always carry

    This game is bouncing off of me so far. I need to give it more time, but it bugs me that 80% of the first two hours was cut scenes.

    Coming up on the end of the Yakuza 4 LP I'm watching

    I can't imagine that everyone doesn't get their own boss fight. I feel like Kiryu is gonna steal the character that Akiyama should really be fighting though.

    I never ended up playing Yakuza 5, so I don't know for sure

    But Yakuza 4 might have the most Yakuza ending possible

    I'm into chapter 10 now, fuck this game is so good
    All this way into the game, and it's still introducing new characters and entire new systems, it's great. RIP Lee, I guess. I can't wait to get back to Majima and see who saved me.

    I beat Kuze and pals with literally 1 HP and no healing items left, I was actually sweating by the end. And that rescue oh my god.

    And the giant Jupiter size balls on Tachibana to just walk into Tojo HQ and bribe the Chairman, and the ridiculous fight afterwards. It just keeps getting better.

    Despite this year being so stacked with great games, this might be my favourite one.

    So is Majima this competent and cool in the rest of the series

    I hear he's just kind of a Crazyguy

    He's both a Crazyguy and super competent. Majima is the most complex character in the entire series. He develops over time from maniac trying to kill you to the glue holding the entire tojo clan together.

    Just got Yakuza 0. Been playing all week, just finished chapter 5.

    There's significant jank in this game, and it really does feel like a PS3 port with horrible reminders of the PS2 era thrown in, but goddamn does it have personality. Just oozing personality and loving craziness from every pore.

    Also Majima is the fucking best.

    Since Beast in the East is catching up to where I dropped off on the game I decided to play again.

    Chapter 13:
    I love the fact that this game turns into a Time Crisis level so fucking much.

    Chapters 14-16:
    Damn does a lot of shit happen in this game, it's nice to know making batshit insane offers to the yakuza runs in the family, shame it didn't work so well the second time. I think every time Kuze is on screen with Kiryu throughout the entire game I've been shouting "FUCK HIM UP,KIRYU" with increasing intensity. That torture scene was pretty intense, especially the last blow. Also I wanna know that trick to just throw off a blazer and button up long sleeve shirt cause damn does that sound handy at the end of the day

    I just started the finale and thought there was a point where you got free reign to change characters? Is that here? Part of me wants to go and do a bunch of side stuff, buy all the properties, get all the beast abilities, etc, but the other part just wants to see the end.
