I actually played this one at launch, but don't remember much because it was eight years ago. Have fun with that thought.

The whole kids & orphanage stuff is genuinely one of my favorite parts of the series, seeing the kids grown up in this is such nice touch. Haruka may not be related to Kiryu by blood, but she sure as hell takes after him; like father, like daughter, they're going to take the stupidest course possible. RGG continues to be loving cowards for not giving us Dragon Engine Hana.

It's a shame they only remastered Y3 though, because holy gently caress is it rough game play-wise coming from Kiwami 2's Dragon Engine to the early PS3 engine powering Y3.

I swear RGG just likes to gently caress with people with poo poo like that. Just like switching buttons, or changing the timing on the Tiger Drop.

I think there are two very important lessons we can all learn from the various Yakuza protagonists:

1) If you're in trouble, ask your friends and family for help instead of sneaking away to suffer alone.

2) Take the guns off the enemies you defeated.

Someone really needs to tell Kiryu that exploding your life periodically because its "the noble thing to do" is really goddamn stupid when your kids also learn that lesson, Haruka didn't stand a chance being raised by Mr "No I must go to prison for years, it is the correct thing to do".

Haruto only adds to Kiryu's GILF appeal, but Kiryu wouldn't be Kiryu if he wasn't so dense he wouldn't notice a woman hitting on him unless it's with a lead pipe.

I can't tell if this is or isn't a response to Dan asking what you feed babies, but I choose to believe yes.

e: ep 3 genuine lol at Grace saying "oh, I like Akiyama" when he's been calling him Dog Piss human being for like ten episodes of the last game. (which is definitely the most I've heard the word "human being" in years)

The idea is to jump to the neighboring building. If you don't completely miss, that is.

I don't want Kiryu adopting yet another stray, Big Boss-style, distract us from what's really important. They include sex-trafficker Oda over Tachibana or Ryuji for their memorial? Sounds like some people need to get their asses kicked in real life.

Babies are in fact too stupid to go to sleep when tired. They're too stupid to anything and are essentially just firing random neurons, trying to figure out which ones are attached to the arms, hands, tongue, etc. Human babies are not fully baked compared to most animals' babies.

belated edit is better than double-posting: are we seriously loving doing Freaky Friday as a side story.

Funny you compared Yuta to Rikiya, they actually have the same voice actor (Yuta is modeled after him). He was also in Battle Royale with Beat Takeshi.

Also Nagumo shares a voice actor with Kanda.

Holy poo poo that idol sidequest. Is there anybody in this girl's life who is not trying to manipulate her? And of course Kiryu is all "Well you love her and have come to the conclusion that you're holding her back from achieving her dream, so clearly that means the only correct thing to do is sacrifice yourself for her happiness without giving her a choice in the matter and traumatizing her in the process. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to play peekaboo with my grandson, who is crying because his mother is in a coma after honorably sacrificing herself to help her brother achieve his dream after I wasn't around to help her because I sacrificed myself to help my orphans live freely and so she could become an idol. Said orphans are also currently wondering where I went."

Self-sacrifice to the point of ridicule and women having gently caress all agency, two things the writers just can't not.
