Allow me to repeat myself:disposablewords posted:Yakuza is so weirdly in love with these giant underground illegal operations that draw in so many people there's no way they're still a secret. This is definitely one of the more absurd ones, though. When I said "underground" I meant that literally.

Underground death match black site for the worst of the worst criminals that no court will convict, accessed by the most Metal Gear contraption outside of Metal Gear, in the middle of a bustling metropolis, with many, many people spectators, what do you mean, it strains believability that it's a secret?

Re: is it usual to kill a lot of major characters in a Yakuza game: Well, it's a crime drama, so some people are gonna have to die. Yakuza 0 has the added bonus of being a prequel, so any totally new character is completely fair game. It still does an okay job of creating dramatic tension for the characters you know will survive, because it still puts them through some real poo poo. Some of the stuff, though, like the chase and the helicopter? This has got to be Kiryu and Majima at a bar like 40 years down the line, with Kiryu telling the story relatively seriously while Majima is constantly jumping in to just add some big bullshit. "This car was coming up after us, with a couple guys with guns, so I took Oda's pistol and managed to shoot out a tire, sending them into a wall--" "AND THEN THIRTY MORE CARS AND A HELICOPTER CAME AFTER HIM!"

It wouldn't be a Yakuza game if you couldn't do wacky hijinks before and after heavy story events.

You need levity to balance the heavy poo poo. If it was just a meat-grinder of non-stop sympathetic characters getting killed off it would numb you quickly, and when there's a story beat like in the last video, it wouldn't have as much of an impact. That said, I do hope we get to turn some assholes into bloody smears because we're running out of likeable guys quick.

This is something I'm really not fond of in the series, as a matter of storytelling - Yakuza loves masterminds playing people like fiddles. We already got some of it with Kazama and the whole thing around Tachibana Real Estate, how he's apparently manipulating so much of the Tojo clan from prison, anticipating so well how everyone would react. And now we've got Shimano declaring he knows Majima so perfectly for his grand plan as well. Ehhh. Maybe it lets up in the games I haven't played yet, but it doesn't feel like it so far.

Honestly I kinda like it, everyone tries to manipulate each other and wind up eating poo poo for it  Even Kuze and Awano tried to play manipulator but did such a hilariously terrible job that they basically got stuck supporting Shibusawa immediately. Also Kuze lost fingat  Shimano's twist is stupid though, but Shimano sucksNew Episode!Let's Play Yakuza 0 Episode 51 - Bottle For A Bottle Kashiwagi's loving PISSED.

People trying to manipulate each other and eating poo poo when it doesn't go the way they expect is neat. That's good stuff for crime drama intrigues. It's seriously just poo poo like Shimano sitting down and saying, "Ah yes, I sent you to do a murder because I knew you so well, that you could be pushed to accept the job but not enough to go through with it, blah blah blah," that I find really overdone. They do a mastermind twist in Yakuza 2 that just made me roll my eyes and I've been kind of stalled on the series since then. Also, man, Majima is just doing everything in the most self-sabotaging possible way. It's kind of amazing how much he's just trying to hurt himself and everyone he can get his hands on, while still getting the job done.

Okay but I do unironically enjoy watching Dan just gently caress around in these games. It's the essential Yakuza series experience. I cannot begin to count the number of times I sat down intending to advance the plot and then suddenly it's two hours later and whoops all cabaret club or pocket circuit.

I got real sick of the same issues with this sequence and it was around here that Kiryu and Majima suddenly decided things like shotguns were fair game, for me. It makes sense that Shibusawa would finally go weapons free with his guys - he rapidly establishes that he doesn't have the pride or self-indulgence of Kuze or Awano, he just gets the job done - but it is, yeah, deeply annoying when a punch-focused game suddenly goes, "GUNS! With instant knock-down!"

In narrow corridors where you can't use clever movement/positioning to not get shot no less. It's just obnoxious.

Isn't there a lot of cover along the left in those long boat-side corridors? It looked like you could hide there (one of the gunmen did, when Kiryu was insistently shooting at the wrong one).
