lol, but, the thing is: Bob hasn't changed at all, which is a good thing. No matter how long he's spent away from the IZ, Bob is Bob.

*ghostly howls of "Quake is back, baby!!", "Oh my God. The server is full. Holy poo poo." while never realizing he's playing vs bots echoing in the distance*

And for that I am grateful.

i'm going to have to play this whole game again just to get screencaps. i'm surprised half of the posts in the Imp Zone aren't just Yakuza screens.

lol yeah, it really starts taking off once majima gets into the whole thing. i think so far my favorite side stories have all been majima's (doll girl, the cult quest, and bag phone guy all own), but i like playing as kiryu more overall for some reason.

got a little too drunk on the valentine's day wine and started getting emotional about the doll girl quest, thinking "drat, imagine someone so small and helpless caring about you that much, looking up at you with those starry eyes" before my son interrupted to call for a glass of water and i was like "oh, yeah...."

finally finished and absolutely loved yakuza 0. my only complaint which i got over pretty quickly after the second time it happened and just accepted that This Is The Way Things Are was that bullets just don't seem to hurt people in the yakuza universe. when someone gets stabbed though you know they're done for

Some of the Yakuza games have extremely powerful cutscene guns. It all just depends on who's being shot at.

My complaint with yakuza 0 and most yakuza games is they never really feel like the period of time they're supposed to take place in. Y0 doesn't really feel like the 80s and K1 doesn't really feel like the early aughts.

its weird how in certain cutscenes being shot is certain death and in other cutscenes people get shot and keep fighting and in the game getting shot just mildly hurts but stuns you but it it what it is

Ive only played zero but Im probably going to jump right to seven because I got hyped when I heard how they change the game up by making it a JRPG

7 is very good. It has a few ties to 6 specifically and also just the general themes of the series as a whole, but you won't be missing out on much by playing it after 0 instead of at the end.

There’s a sub story that she appears in in K1 where she confronts you about her husband’s death, don’t know if it’s from the first game or if they retconned her in for Kiwami. But K2 is the first time she’s in a main story

lmao i just posted on facebook about having some mahjong troubles and my online shitposting friend from the early aughts responded. she has a Ph D from loving Oxford, has published a few books, is a tenured professor and has gotten doxxed more than once, so she got more cautious on social media and we haven't chatted much recently, but she was like "ahh, i'm suffering from similar difficulties. let's find a time to chat on Zoom?? i'm on GMT." yakuza reconnecting old friends ftw. thank you, sega.
