Lunchmeat Larry posted:The occasional severe cultural whiplash in these games is wild lmao. Its not a good thing exactly but it's... memorable. The worst one is probably Kiryu hauling off in Kiwami and doing feel the heat moves to smash Haruka through a table etc lol yeah. I kind of try to ignore that happened

The hurry up jazz song is one of the best tracks in the series and it’s absolutely the best time to go dick around

the kiryu part of 4 is so loving good so far. the curry superhero guy, the return of fake kiryu, komaki being furiouus that kiryu doesn't update his blog, kiryu's big, approving dad smile when he learns that the former red-eye gang guys are making porn now instead. also his fighting style is so loving fast. i also love that there's a loving multi-game substory line that involves the loving ramen place, lmao.

Big time spoilers for Yakuza 6 and Yakuza 7 I really thought them including Kiryu in Yakuza 7 would be a complete betrayal of the end of 6 but they actually did it really well. It makes sense that since Kiryu's deal was with the shadowy old school politician that he'd be allowed to interfere slighly to help you against the young gun usurper. Also the fight with him going through all his forms was loving sick and the animation of him looking like Shenron was awesome. He also shows up at the two most perfect times, especially outside the Bleach Japan building where the party and you the player are getting really uncomfortable with how off the rails Ichi is going.

Fungah! posted:well? one of the hostesses says she's moving to Boston because it's the best opportunity to learn from expert embalmers, lol. kiryu's part of 4 seriously rules, i can't believe they brought back that whole castle from the bounty missions in 3 just for one substory. the one where he goes to bantam and gets dragged into a woman pretending that he's her dead boyfriend just so she can preserve her sanity was good stuff. also his "mini-game" just being confronting a bunch of punk gang leaders and insultingly telling them all that they aren't worth his time is great, it just adds some flavor to his street encounters. i guess i get why people don't like 4 because the whole convoluted plan of having saejima use rubber bullets so that he himself can do all the murders doesn't make any fuckin sense, but the new characters, the substories, and the way combat moves makes up for it for me. trying to unlock and use new heat actions with each guy is a lot of fun.

Yeah, that part is balls. It doesn't even absolve Saejima in any way because he still went in there intending to murder and performed actions that he believed would murder. The thing is, I found myself able to just roll with it. Even though it's dumb. I have much bigger problems with some of the developments in 5. Which most other people don't seem to have so I'm just gonna guess that's a me-problem.

mastershakeman posted:I really wish it had been adachi and nanba to handle ichiban there, feel that was a misstep I would have liked it as well. Kiryu could have just observed them having to stop him and the rest of the scene would have played the same. But I also think it works OK-ish under the pretense that they're just so shocked by what he's doing.

Kiryu would never stand and watch a Yakuza beat the gently caress out of someone without stepping in unless he wanted to do a blog post about it. I liked it because it suggests that he's still out there doing subquests and giving wise life lessons on the down low in between enjoying retirement, and I can't imagine a happier life for him.

In LaD I like to think that everything Kiryu does is just him being part of some substory. Like, I can just imagine that somehow Kiryu happens to meet Watase as he's leaving the prison and the Yakuza 0 substory music plays and he's like "Kiryu, I'm in a pinch, we want to dissolve the Yakuza but we're afraid that some people might have a problem with that, so we need you to stand watch and beat them up in case that happens" then Kiryu says he'll think about it and plays minigames for five hours before coming back to it.
