Not taking the 10 year old with you on a blood-soaked journey of revenge through the criminal underworld? What a good idea! Wait, it was the 10 year that thought of it?

If you think Kazuma not killing anybody in gameplay is ridiculous in these games, you should seek out the samurai spin-offs of Yakuza (I think the LP Archive has an LP of the first one) for something really ridiculous.

With a line like that I guess the reason Haruka had to think that she probably shouldn't go along with this one is that Kazuma might as well be 10 years old too.

I suppose its because the first game's plot was meant to be a mystery as much as anything else but so far 2 is doing a much better job hitting the ground running, even without destroying the tower (again).

I agree that it's really nice having some actual plot up front instead of keeping it in reserve until the last 20 minutes or so.

Which I assume is going to happen anyways but it helps to stay interested in the meantime.

I hope there aren't too many ottomans wielding enemies in future levels, those are clearly the elite troops in Japan.

A cop was just shot by a rooftop sniper after taking me into protective custody. Time to solve random people's problems (with punching) and play some arcade games!

Seems like you're certainly expected to play Mahjong, unless there's a better way to make money out there.

Speaking of fans not being effective someone should tell Gold Man to maybe invest in an air conditioner if he can afford to throw a few hundred million yen around.

I guess tournament fighting is just some kind of universal currency among illegal underground brokers (or whatever Majima is doing down there).

Something tells me you'd have to try pretty hard to fail the player-power-fantasy quest of being the desirable host to a bunch of beautiful women.

I wonder if not-Date is going to do something other than the noble self-sacrifice for redemption at some point. He is a dick but he's acting like one of those movie dicks that doesn't really want to be.

Streams are a thing I'm never able to catch so I don't think I'm any help here. Just waiting in the wings for Yakuza really.

Well that's not good at all.

Kenka Bancho seems like it might be pretty funny though, if it doesn't just repeat the same joke over and over.

No random encounters at all in that part huh? Normally I'd call that a reprieve but I just didn't spend all my money on knock-off martial arts videos.

Kibayasu
Mar 28, 2010

I can only suppose that random encounters have stopped because you're above some kind of experience threshold? Like in Earthbound where monsters that would present no challenge at all would just auto-resolve. But without a way to get money from that selling stuff and gambling seems to be the only option.

Lucky for Kazuma, it appears that crime does pay.

Better go buy the rest of those videos.

I was about to get annoyed at yet another knife wound killing someone when it wasn't life threatening at all but I guess if anybody knows about dying via knife wounds to the gut its (my maybe somewhat racist view of) the Japanese so they did it right.

You know, I don't think I entirely understand what exactly happened there.

Someone has to be really mad that the interior of one of Japan's most famous landmarks was hollowed out and cut in half.

There also appears to be a key in that small park-ish area in the north west corner.

Even if the host-ff won't be as visually spectacular as, say, the model-off in Zoolander I can't wait to see where this goes.

$10 to watch Die Hard 1 and 2 is a little bit crazy to do.



No one wants to watch Die Hard 2.

If you want to see the samurai Yakuza LP'd, Egomaniac did an LP doing the translation himself, it's up on the archive here: http://lparchive.org/Ryuu-ga-Gotoku-Kenzan/

Hmm. Army of evil gangsters (as opposed to all those good gangsters) coming to take over your neighbourhood (that is also about to be destroyed??), 30 hidden bombs to find and disarm, close ally's world has just collapsed, and the untested potential leader about to enter the worst trial by fire?





Sounds like a great time to go check on your hostess club.

Kazuma met his one weakness just before that Ryuji non-fight, cutscenes in a JRPG.
