Matt is really trying to ruin Yakuza today

*Sighs Loudly*

I think the issue is the week long breaks I guess they take between recording sessions so I can understand Matt losing his Hype over a month or more of that. Also, Pat's been blitzing through the main storyline without any side quests as palate cleansers. Actually, the only real breaks have been the real estate minigame which is boring as hell.

As an aside, it's hilarious how much of an easier time Pat is having with the game overall compared to Liam's poverty playthrough.

How can anyone think Matt is bad, when Matt kicks the most rear end, and is the most good.

He has a point. There's some stuff in the back end of Yakuza 0 that makes no sense even by the series' very relaxed standards and only pads out the length and ruins the atmosphere.

No it's all pretty straight forward if you pay attention

Some later, but none of that today. The HQ has to send some dudes for appearances sake because Tachibana has essentially had them "claim" Kiryu's head from the Dojima sub-family. It's super simple. Maybe Matt would understand it if he paid attention instead of droning on about the telephone club.

Not in the sense of it being confusing, but in the sense of "why is this poo poo even here"

To be fair I didn't really like the giant golden subterranean tiger-palace from the second game either.

I don't think Matt is bad but the constant deep sighing in every yakuza 0 episode is the anti-fun and starting to make me wish Pat had streamed this game with Paige or Fuggins or alone

I've always said it's super evident when Matt doesn't care about what he's playing and it does tend to drag the video down.

Honestly, I'm not invested in this game anymore either, beyond Majima's eyepatch. I'm super into seeing how that grows as a character. Does it evolve, does it get thrown off in a climatic moment, does it find true love? I'm super into it!

I'm not sure how you're interpreting constant deep sighing and complaining about the plot not explaining things in the middle of cutscenes where those things are explained as "having a fun time"

Probably because I don't take everything they say super literally.

I mean yeah you could say that beelining the story in this batch of updates has made him less interested because the side content is super fun and interesting but I'm not seeing the boredom or even the sighing but I'm also not looking for it.

I dunno I think it's valid to express exasperation about the fight to escape the Tojo Clan X-Files Base being basically the same series of sequences doubled up to artificially lengthen things.

I haven't seen any spoilers for Y0 but I can assure you there's no way Kuze doesn't blow himself up trying to finally defeat Kiryu. Like, literally blow himself up, Voltorb-style.

We've fought him 1 on 1, when he had a pipe, and when he had like 10 guys backing him up. What will he try to fight us with next? It's getting really sad now.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I'd kill for episode 52 to be Marina arresting Kiryu for being a jacuzzi and also all the brawls he had in his business and employing foreign directors for his businesses without the proper paperwork, thus retconning Yakuza out of the Yakuza timeline.

because it's funny and also it's fun to throw impossible scenarios along with hyperbole.

"I would like to call the morning show host to the stand. Now, our detective says she saw and heard Kiryu write to you. Is it true that Kiryu confessed to you having purchased child pornography?"
"I only bought A child pornography!"
"That's another four years."
