Beast Style is going to be great, because why would Dan settle for hitting people with a bike when he could hit them with a motorcycle?

How blind are you on this game, Dan? Grace mentioned something about a test file that apparently got past Kuze, but you were pretty good at feigning surprise and disappointment in some of the stuff that happened up through his fight.

Also you handled Kuze pretty well. Or maybe I'm just bad. But he was definitely a skill check for me that I needed a couple tries to get past. Had to go from just kind of Kiryu-ing through most fights to actually paying attention.

The important thing is now Dan can treat this as proof it was a good idea to eat all the inventory sushi early.

I think there is only one time it matters, where they are showing you prize boxes to pick from. Which I thankfully knew about ahead of time thanks to hearing someone say essentially "What the gently caress it actually matters this time!?"

When the rewards are a T-shirt, or the encounter finder which will let Dan hunt down mister shakedown to punch him (Or maybe it was the substory finder? Some kinda detector). And before that a T-shirt and silent shoes that reduce encounters. But why would anyone want those?

I never got into actually playing the Yakuza series until Zero. But my highly biased mind wants to say that the crane machine in Zero felt the least bullshit of the ones since then? Maybe it was the average shape of the prizes that helped.

Is it a bad sign the choice of sound effects made me think for a moment "Oh no, Gooba& is stealing videogames from kids!"

I can never remember what the other mister Shakedown's deal is. I am unsure if that is because his reasons are boring, or the first one's reasons are so wonderful they are all I can think about.

I also goddamned love slugger style, even if it is really hard to enjoy until you unlock "Stop bouncing off of walls like an idiot." or whatever the skill that makes it stop being a pain in the rear end in alley fights was.

Seriously there's no reason we shouldn't be able to eat at Fei's place :mad:

I get unreasonably angry at every lovingly on display food vendor that you are not allowed to get snacks from, in any game.

The What

I haven't played Zero in a long while. So I had to look it up to make sure I wasn't misremembering entirely. And casual internet is giving me conflicting skill names "Secret of the bat king (shake removal) or Secret of the swing (Follow through).

But in both cases, it is a rank 5 (almost, but not quite the outer edge of the skill tree) $200,000,000 skill. To have your bat stop bouncing uselessly off walls at 3rd heat.

No wonder nobody remembers it. Even I forgot it was an expensive penultimate grade skill :sigh:

I dimly remember loving the loop the loop races the most. Partly because then brain dead "MAXIMUM CLIMB GOOD" car design seemed to work out, instead of needing to screw around with my failure montage of "How fast is not so fast you commit suicide?"

But also because loops on a race track is cooler than no loops on a race track.

You turds really saw the savage rear end whooping I laid onto Shibusawa and nobody had anything to say about it, people online say you should unlock Dragon style to even stand a chance but I'm too epic for that

He made the foolish mistake of deciding to try and beat you at the tables and chairs game. Though I dimly remember people complaining about the assassin too, and you were not baffled that breakdancing can't block weapons so good.

I am too weak to use joke shoes for longer than like, an hour tops :negative:

Also, cruel reminders of one of the petty grievances I have in videogames. Games making a big deal about unlocking disarming moves, when everyone you really want to disarm is either immune or keeps pulling out spares.
