The power walkers had weapons in the original version of the game. Seeing 5 guys walking towards you brandishing clubs is a pretty good way to know you got trouble coming, and it was amusing seeing them repeatedly try to run their injury con.

I thought they were going to have for weapons, otherwise why take Kiriyu to a different location for the same fight.

I like how apparently Kiryu can psychically absorb people's names through punching them.

If anime has taught me anything, it is that the only way to truly know someone is through battle.

I remembered that pickpocket's "I am the master of an ancient art of assassins!" line, so I went back to the second video and checked the name on the life bar.

Yep, exact same guy who stole the ring from you 10 years ago.

Pocket racing hasn’t changed much from Yakuza 0. I wonder if more of the old gang will show up.

And Bacchus is the Roman God of Wine, so it’s not a bad name for a bar really. Ares, though, that doesn’t make sense to me, but whatever. We’ll see what it’s like when Kiryu gets there.

A couple episodes back, someone on the street can be overheard saying something like "The god of wine..." Presumably you could talk to them and hear about Bacchus. I thought that was a nice touch.

Kiryu should have totally kept the glasses. He looked awesome with them in Yakuza 0.

Ozeki One Cup sake is available everywhere in Japan (and even here in the States). It comes in a convenient glass with a peel-off metal lid.

Oh yeah, I think Azasu in NYC sells those (along with other canned sakes). I was going to hit it up in about two weeks.

Today I learned that Mesu King is based off of a real Sega arcade game, Mushi King, and I'm super upset that we got Mesu King instead of the actual thing.

And his personal fave pony is probably Rarity. They got the same fashion sense and tendency to throw lots of money and time into helping others.

drat it, you got me shipping this now. I can also see Kiryu as an Earth Pony with the Dragon of Dojima tattoo as his cutie mark.

Yes, I'm a brony, and I'm proud enough of it to be shrugging off whatever you think.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

Also, I've been playing the original Yakuza this past week (and recording it, so I might even do an LP at some point if I feel like it) and noticed that Kiwami slightly fleshes out the side missions. For example, in the one with the yakuza-hating guy you just beat him up and that's it, and the power walking thugs just run off instead of luring you to the alley in their epilogue.

I really don't get slot car racing. Wouldn't it just come down to who has the better toy car? At least in actual racing you have to actually be good at driving and stuff so you don't crash.

Accelerating at the right times is important, so you maximize your accel without losing the track. As a kid, it was far too tempting to detail the car
