Ah, so you're really powering through them back to back.

I did that too and I had a lot of fun with the games but I wish I'd paced myself a little better. I say that even though I had to wait a bit for K2 to come out on PC.

Kiwami 2 is a huge step up from Kiwami for sure, though.

Yeah, I've basically caught up or finished any other projects I've had, and y0 seriously reignited how I used to feel about games.

So inevitably I'm gonna burn out and not play games again for awhile. But it'll be worth it.

Kiwami 2 seems fun so far, just hit chapter 2 and trying to get all the substories and locker keys etc I can before moving on. The leveling and ability change is taking some getting used to, esp the food

Kiwami 2 is automatically worse than 0 or kiwami because lack of majima

My wife walked in after I found him in a car and was like the gently caress is he humping the air at you for

I miss it

Majima's in Kiwami 2 a lot. He even gets a side-campaign that he's the protagonist in that gets unlocked chapter-by-chapter as you make progress in the main story

Thanks for reminding me that exists. I still haven't played that because I was kinda burned out by the end of K2 and then moved on to 3 a year later.

been working through lost judgment and probably the huge thing it does right is the combat. all of the styles are good, whereas tiger was so much obviously better than crane in the first game that I stopped using crane entirely once I'd done the completion metric for it. even just the speed boost upon dodging makes it way more fun this time

haven't used boxer too much since it gets no SP bonuses due to being DLC but it also seems really good. might do a boxer only (or mostly) run once I unlock legend difficulty

rgg games ftw

Yeah, the combat just comes together so well in this one. Boxer is fun too and there's a whole school story where you get to use a slightly altered version of it a lot.

Lost Judgment is up there with the best brawler yakuzas imo

I know everyone loves kiwami 2 but drat

Story? Awesome
Gameplay? Nope

Y0: perfect game, no notes, spent literally 3x as long on this game as the next 2

Kiwami: good as gently caress

Kiwami 2: 2nd best story, tedious af

Okay which one next before I start another franchise. I'm guessing 3?

Really like this blog post where somebody who got the platinum trophy for all sega games ever reviews every yakuza minigame

quote:

Overall I find fishing in Yakuza 3 to be super relaxing, sure it can be a bit frustrating when you’re trying to catch that legendary tuna and keep pulling out pufferfish but the immaculate vibes of Kiryu relaxing at the beach and enjoying life on Yakuza 3 is just something that cannot be matched. It will take you a while to catch all the fish but it won’t take up your whole day. Just enjoy the beach and your time in Yakuza 3.

The sound design when you're waiting to hook a fish is really relaxing. Okinawa has definitely been my favorite part of 3. I want to try a bottle of tantakatan

Goddamn that post would be 3/4ths of the length if the author just put a “I don’t agree with the sexual nature of these minigames” disclaimer up top instead of writing a paragraph each time.

No bowling, cabaret is way more annoying, not enough majima, no fishing


Do I need to play 3 next or can I jump up to 5?

Or I might play one of the games I actually bought for once.
