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.
And now begins an ever increasing race for the villains of this game to climb up Kiryu's List of Things To Do Today.

You should really stop mashing Square with the Heat Actions that give you the opportunity to do so after you've already done enough damage to kill them, all it does is waste a ton of Heat on them when they're already dead.

That's dumb.

The problem with that kind of thinking is that it results in less punching.

Who hurt you that you would wind up like this? Using more heat actions would put them in their place.

Sooooo I was looking over some older episodes to check something and I found a horrifying bug. I checked someone else's footage and didn't see it there so I must've done something right. :stonk:

So that’s how the Gagbooters substory ends. I’d forgotten. Also, glad all that Metsuke minigaming leads to something useful. I still wish we could do Virtua Fighter against Majima though. Maybe one day...

Wait so did they remove Being able to chain into a grab from a finishing blow? I haven't seen you use any of those attacks so I don't know if you just can't or just haven't shown it off.

No that’s in, I just didn’t realize it was a thing when I recorded this part, I think. It should be in the next video?

I was very behind on videos beforehand but now I'm finally caught up. Personally, I found the Akai brothers to be a real stumbling block. Even more than people like to go on about Shimano. And doubly so with Kazuto.

Kazuto was a troublesome boss for me too the first time I played but then I didn’t have the vest. Took a few tries to beat him without it. And I had more trouble with a boss yet to come.

Truly a tragic and awkward backstory for Haruka here. I can't help but think of one thing now, though- it would have been slightly better, in retrospect, if Yumi was pregnant before she got with Jingu and Haruka's father was someone else, but amnesia covered who. Possible candidates would of course include Kirryu and Majima. :D


And the cliched tropes just keep on coming!

Also I very much agree that the true value of the Majima Everywhere System is not necessarily this game but all the dumb bullshit you and your friends come up with. Like who's going to be Majima in the Fist of the North Star game?

I mean, I wouldn't know. All I know about Fist of the North Star is that Kenshiro hid in a hay bale once, kicked a tank till it exploded, his shirt explodes when he uses Hokuto Shinken, and Raoh. I don't' know what Raoh looks like but I know he exists.

He is a huge man among huge men who once responded to his secret martial arts master asking him about the meaning of power by going nuts and declaring he would fight God.

He was then surprised he was not chosen as the secret successor to his tribe of kickmen and became cross about this.

Fist of the North Star should never be taken seriously.

I wouldn't know either but the new game's Japanese dub uses the Yakuza cast for similar characters, and Jagi ended up with Majima's. :v:

Just a heads up, I’m on vacation now til the end of Oct, and while I have prepared update materials for the rest of the videos I have complete, I might end up missing an update here or there. You can always check my twitter for updates though, I scheduled the tweets to go out ahead of time.

So the way I hear it is this. They didn't know if there'd BE a Yakuza 2, so they just went nuts with the killing assuming there wouldn't be a 2.

EDIT: Also, now begins a long trend of Kiryu running away from his responsibilities and majorly loving everything up for it.

EDIT 2: As a discussion on Yakuza's 'Open World' nature, I'm with Argate on the idea that Yakuza makes Kamurocho feel alive, the fact that I can mostly navigate Kamurocho just by knowing the city from playing it. I like the point made that, Kiryu is as much defined by the things he does, as he is the things he doesn't do. He doesn't attack random civilians or steal cars or anything else that you crazily do in an open world game like GTA. So when Kiryu is presented to us in cutscenes as a stoic man with a heart of justice, that works, I can feel empathy for Kiryu, that I cannot do for any GTA protagonist, because you leave the story, grab a gun, shoot up a house and drive like a maniac. And by defining the rules around "Kiryu doesn't do these things" we now say the opposite. "Everything Kiryu does do, is something he would do."

He would play with slot cars, or grind out scores at a Sega Arcade. Go sing Karaoke with his friends and generally be a big goof.

A character can only really find focus when you see what they aren't doing.
