I really liked the crazy heat moves in Kiwami 2 Both of us definitely winced the first time we used the heat move in the convenience store (dunno why I said gas station) where you slam a dude's head into the microwave then have the cashier turn the microwave on Weird Pumpkin has a new favorite as of 02:35 on Mar 21, 2024 |

Essence of Face Grating is always my go-to “Jesus Christ Kiryu” move. That or box of nails.

My favourite heat moves have the be the salt shaker one, where Kiryu shakes salt in the persons eyes, and the back breaker on the low fence

Was it Sleeping Dogs that had a context finisher where you shove a dude's head or whatever into an HVAC unit's fan in the first 5 minutes despite being an undercover cop? I remember having that happen in a game and it was just kinda Too Much for me at the time so I ended up never touching it again.

Yeah that’s the one, the finishers are all extremely brutal and it never really stops escalating. You shove the last boss into an ice chipper!

A mobile game spinoff apparently establishes that getting your rear end kicked by Kiryu has become a rite of passage for Kamurocho gangsters.

Throw dudes on hanging hooks, throw dudes on spearfish heads, break knees multiple times on one person Wei is a very nice undercover cop

CitizenKain posted:One of the funniest things in the Yakuza series to me is that people constantly rag on how old Kiryu and Ichiban are. Just a non-stop wave of people going "Shut up old man" to a guy built like a brick shithouse who then picks up a scooter and beats 3 people to the ground with it. You know that does feel really out of place now that you mention it. Feels like it should be more common for 90's and early 2000's movies with some bratty kid or like 13 year old.

I've always been fond of Majima non-lethally stabbing a guy in the neck with a metal umbrella stick because of the flair he brings to it, I imagine a lot of people miss it on a casual playthrough too since there aren't many places with random umbrellas. https://files.catbox.moe/6octmq.mp4

It's all the funnier that the Heat moves are barely off Fatalities and explicitly non-lethal. It's even funnier that you can do almost all of them to Majima.

ilmucche posted:Sleeping dogs is goty and regularly goes on sale for suuuuper cheap I mean I think I'll still have that same problem going off those training vids, it's one thing if it's a Yakuza using a bike to make someone paraplegic, it's another thing entirely if the MC is supposedly a cop who is semi casually shoving faces into fans and breaking knees to me. Just one of those unfortunate hangups like the weekend I wasted a blockbuster rental on Second Sight, killed the first guard you encountered, and then checked the computer he was at only to see a text chat where presumably his wife or girlfriend were like 'hey what's up you went quiet, are you ok? you're worrying me' and got so sick feeling that it kinda poo poo on that entire Saturday and had me not play more than those first five minutes

I completely agree with you here, and it kinda makes me sad that LAD has decided to go all in on being a goofy dragon quest, because simply put we have a lot of great turn based RPGs from a lot of sources, but nobody else is doing Yakuza. I'm really glad they did Ishin! And Gaiden because as much as I like LAD, it's just not the same as hitting people with every single bike in Tokyo

Outside of story missions, all yakuza fights are wrestling kayfabe. That's why everyone gets right back up after the fight's done even when they've had a knife shoved through them- handle included.

It is insanely hosed that Ichiban Kasuga has three unique jobs in LAD8 and not a single one has Essence of Bike Smash though. Almost as hosed up as Kiryu tripping balls and hallucinating, but not having a move where he hits them with the bike.

IIRC, they outright said the turn-based games are cheaper and easier for them to make than the action-based ones, and also that they intend to continue making both. I think tone-wise they also seem to be more comfortable having Ichiban's games be more wacky and surreal while the others can be more on the gritty side.

I still think the worst (best) one is Essence of Face Grating, which is basically just what it sounds like with the grate being either the concrete floor (5) or a jumbo grater (Like A Dragon 7/8), makes me feel slightly uncomfortable every time it happens. Which is a lot in Yakuza 5, because it’s like the default “guy on the ground” Heat Move.
