Kiwami 1 is a showcase of why Kiryu's a good* guardian for Haruka. He beat her deadbeat dad in combat so by right he's her new dad anyway.

(*If you ignore all the gambling he did with her. And the underground fighting ring. And the diet of nothing but horrifying amounts of beef bowl. And the weird boyfriend/creepy uncle who sometimes ambushes and tries to stab him.)

That shot is pure gold.

I'm really liking the Marie-Antoinette "If they don't have bread, let them eat caketakoyaki" poster behind Etsuko the 2nd.

Takamatsu doing the 5d chess mastermind bullshit we've come to expect from Yakuza I see.

The actual cabaret mini-game in 0 was fine, the interminable dialogue stuff not so much. But that's on the game itself, ridiculous gimmicks can only do so much.

This Yuki sounds exactly like Yakuza 0's Yuki. Doesn't look like she aged even a bit tho, must be the vinegar. Hope Etsuko makes a return too.

The indicators in the middle show dora, which award bonus han if you have the next tile in your hand. (123456789 for simples, 1 being 9's dora. E-S-W-N for winds. White-Green-Red for dragons.)

In the event of a draw, the player(s), if any, that are tenpai or have declared riichi get a 1000 points from each of the players that haven't.

https://dainachiba.github.io/RiichiBooks/index.html is a solid primer on basic strategy and hand optimization. Playing against bots is... weird anyway, much weirder than playing humans, but it might help a bit.

Getting a maniac like Majima back on the team is the best thing you can do, nobody gets respect like a homicidal lunatic.

He keeps his dainty hard hat on during the fight. Perfection. Also, "Safety First" is a lot coming from the guy waving a large knife around at all times.

Kiryu is too caught up in the romantic ideal of yakuza to see it for what it is, an organization that deals and profits from misery & exploitation, including but not limited to human trafficking, prostitution, gambling, drugs, smuggling, and extortion. Which inevitably draws utter scum like Shindo in, who have no truck with those romanticized ideals.

You did start that Bouncer quest and talked to the bartender at Debolah before. Even started the first job but failed it.

Also, Osaka is in the Kansai-region. (Tokyo is in Kanto.)

One man with a thermonuclear scowl and his weird lunatic kinda-sorta-boyfriend versus an entire army of yakuza. You'd be surprised to learn what happens next!

Billiken was the shady cop who established the Styx coliseum/fighting ring, and Nishitani was his sorta adoptive son who whacked the guy who murdered Billiken's daughter after he got off with a slap on the wrist for being a minor in 0. The Metal Gear-rear end entrance to the old coliseum didn't hold a loving candle to the gold castle hidden in the real castle though.

No wonder you like Kiryu & Haruka. Visiting all the restaurants with her in a quest to satiate her hunger would've been better than that weird-rear end talent agency stuff.

If you think about it, a highway is nothing but a river of asphalt, and it too hungers.

Also, the Florist quickly relocating before he becomes the next parent to die tragically in front of their child in the Milennium Tower.

The bits of absurdity sprinkled in make the series what it is. Of course Majima just defuses the bombs based on vibes and gets away with it, dream sequence aside.

That description did not lie, that was some whirlwind ruse-cruising. Shame about Ryuji, he may have been a colossal rear end in a top hat, but a straight shooting, honest rear end in a top hat at that, unlike the scheming backstabbers in what remained of the Omi.

Oh, Majima :allears:. New guy really doesn't have a read on the situation if he thinks he can frame Majima for sneakily killing that guy when everything about Majima screams that if he'd wanted someone dead, he'd kill them right there, right then, in front of everyone without a care in the world.

It's much funnier to pronounce it as stigil tho, and I really like how the devs took the opportunity of the remake to add some closure to plot lines from 0.

I don't know what's worse, the poo poo you guys say/come up with, or the fact it has me in stitches regularly.
