r/yakuzagames

I used a white tank top and a black biker's jacket and blue mid-rise skinny jeans and white ankle socks and finally all white low-top canvas shoes.

This Substory made me like Kaito a lot more. The boy was so adorable and cute I really liked this substory!

Was randomly using YouTube music and it did something Stranger than Resident evil 4

... two attempts at other characters that are giving me a hard time drawing.

While working on it I thought about how loved Akiyama is and how a few of his money lending actions really weirded me out. Maybe that's his appeal for me. That he's a flawed character with enough good in him that I can generously forgive some of the creepy stuff? Don't know. 🤷🏼

Could just be his voice tbh and his very relatable love for cigarettes (I quit but sometimes I miss it). 🙈

I'm also replaying >!Song of Life!< right now and I like him very much in this game.

Not much feeling towards Daigo from my end I realized. One thing always comes to mind when I see him though: does he do his eyebrows himself? Do they grow like this? He must be happy to have gotten a good chunk of his mother's genes. 🤔

I believe SEGA partnered up with Waikiki Trolley to promote Pirate Yakuza.

Noticed how Ishin doesn’t get mentioned…

These worth anything? I just found them

Take a look at this graph I made. It lists every RGG game released in English in chronological order, barring the remastered trilogy and dead souls, alongside the overall reception that the public had to each title (so those are not my opinions. Some I like more, some I like less, some I haven't even played yet), and as you can see, RGG has been incredibly consistent for decades. Id say the only ”mid” game they made for the longest time was the very first one: after that, just about each game was at the very least good, with some truly fantastic games like LAD and Lost Judgement thrown in there from time to time. Most people would say that their bad streak started with Pirate Yakuza, followed by an eh port of Y0, rounding things out with the pretty disastrous K3. 3 bad games in a row *sounds* like a lot...but it really isn't. First of all, the initial reception that people had to Pirate Yakuza was actually pretty solid; I feel like its mostly in retrospect that people look negatively at this title, but even then, the worst thing you can say about it is that its ”okay”. Second of all, yes, the Directors Cut of Y0 is an objectively inferior way of playing that game and it sucks that Sega delisted the original, but you are out of your goddam mind if you think some extra cutscenes ruin what is otherwise a masterpiece of a video game. Even if its a slightly worse Y0, its STILL Y0, so its still a good game; saying otherwise is ridiculous. And finally, K3. Yeah I cant really defend this one.

Even if you were to look at this in the most pessimistic way, what RGG essentially did was: make an okay game, make a mid remaster of a fantastic game and make an incredibly lazy remake of a good game. Need I remind people that all of this happened in the span of 12 MONTHS? RGG has been making good games for decades, and then they have ONE bad year and everybody loses faith in them (I know its not everybody but you know what I mean). You're entitled to you opinion, but that just seems a bit extreme, no?

I say ya-ku-za.

For me it’s the OG Hairstyle with grey hair. Not that I love grey hair in general but it’s basically his main hairstyle but a lot better because it looks way more natural and styled and it gives the DRAGON vibes. That hairstyle is so unique in general and he looks so damn good with it!!

Also I appreciate 0 because it really gives the naughty brat vibes😂😂

And yes I know that Isshin and Kenzan aren’t canonically kiryu but it’s his face so let’s count it in.
