Do you feel the same way?
we can paint virtually anything with computers. but based on what actually hits screens, you'd think there's only variations on two or three ideas.

So the Playstation Network is down so I can't "verify my licence" to play Yakuza Kiwami.

e: did they get ddos'd or something? Everything is down and the only error message is "You may have some difficulty accessing PlayStation™Video content. Our engineers are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible, and we thank you for your patience."

I got excited to see Kaoru show up at the cemetery, only for her to say she’s going away

Why can’t Kiryu find a love that lasts

If he did it would be really hard to write him as someone who wanders around the street alone beating people up.

Edit: but also, the entire worldview of Yakuza 0-6 is based around a single arbiter of justice who pushes everyone else away for their own protection. Once you start playing 7 you'll absolutely see the contrast.

More importantly, how could he go around banging all the top hostesses in Kamurocho then? We're allowed to see seedy underbelly, but not THAT seedy. Gotta love Japanese prudishness in weird places!

Lol if you think that customers of hostesses aren't overwhelmingly married men.

I played 0,1,2,6 and the overarching theme other goons told me was that he runs away from things and causes them to get worse?

Yeah. He has to turn down long-term responsibilities to other people all the time because that's just how he is. It's good that the game is portrayed as over the top ridiculous as it is because otherwise it would be really sad.

I mean, in the beginning of three it looked like it might be different but ultimately he left a literal child in charge of the orphanage and ran off to punch some people.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

Yeah Kiryu is a massive coward and a hypocrite but the games don't call attention to it very much. It took to like Dead Souls for someone to point this out and it was a non-canon game.

I still wish they'd do a game where you play as Kaoru outside of Japan. I forget do they ever say specifically where in the US she was working? They could use Sotenbori and then a neighborhood on the west coast US or Honolulu or something for the other location.

I understand why they weren't made an item but I still hate that she's just cold never acknowledged ever again.

It feels like Kiryu is getting arrested and doing time in prison too often and for long periods of time to really be able to commit to long term responsibilities, I can’t think of anything he’s explicitly turned down or anyone who he’s disappointed because of him being a coward that wasn’t explicitly out of his control, but I haven’t finished 3 yet and I feel like that will maybe happen in this game.

I had the same issue and it is set as my primary. But now it's saying I can't update it from the console because the network is down. It's all kinda hosed up.

Probably are getting ddos'd from a buncha pissed off preorder people, lol

Yeah this is my situation too. I never had any problems until a few months back and then it started happening from time to time.

You can do it whenever. The content is specced for endgame and the bots actually have you relearn some of your habits and improvise new things because they're hard as gently caress.

I did it shortly after Meridian? And I thought it went fine.
