Yakuza

I don't know if I should be angry that Sayama was written out of the series, or happy that she was spared from having to be in Yakuza 3.

She wasn't really spared from Yakuza 3

Yakuza 3 was one of the best ones. It was the kind of dumb that you laugh along with, then cry because Mine bulldozed the orphanage and Mikio took a fucking sledgehammer to the back of the neck to protect the doghouse.
Yakuza 4 was the actual bad one.

Why did the new writer feel the need to cuck Kiryu?

Imagine the orphanage but with Sayama
It would have been top comfy

they're gonna struggle with the turn-based RPG setup if they continue it imo. way too much effort to make it feel fresh. obviously fine the first time, but it doesn't suit a series which is quite budgeted, and reuses tons of shit out the ass.
they should probably look into merging it with the action system, or something that works well with reusing a ton of shit.
who knows what they're planning anyway, they've said fuck all about how future entries, and it doesn't sound like they're done with action stuff since they throw the kenzan kiwami idea around a fair amount.

Kiryu must stay a pure virgin, please understand. He can't love anyone that isn't Yumi

It would have been a much more interesting angle if Kiryu was dealing with running an orphanage and being in a serious relationship again. Things might have worked out differently if Kiryu also had to consider Sayama in some of the retarded decisions he makes in futue games.

She was an annoying cuntface to begin with. Good riddance, never come back, thank you.

>Mikio took a fucking sledgehammer to the back of the neck to protect the doghouse
That was one of the dumbest parts. If it was to protect the actual dog then that'd be one thing, but the fucking doghouse? If you found that shit sad then you're a woman.

>Yakuza 4 was the actual bad one.
Yakuza 4 memehate is mostly by people who didn't even play it. It's been like this even before zero.

Fat female hands typed this.

I'm playing it right now and I gotta say that dicking around in the sewers with Saejima is curbing my enthusiasm a bit after the godlike Akiyama section.
Hoping things pick up a bit with Tanimura.

>If it was to protect the actual dog then that'd be one thing, but the fucking doghouse?
hey they build it together, of course he needs to protect it :(

Yakuza 3 was a mistake for multiple reasons.

Can't build a second one if he's fucking dead and the children are all traumatized from watching his brain juices splatter all over it.

Yasuko ruins the plot by being insufferable at every turn. I hated every moment spent with that hypocritical retard. At least Park had the decency to die early on.
Saejima's section is absolutely dreadful. The only chapters where you don't have to deal with Yasuko are the painful forced stealth chapters. Great fucking game.
And none of the minigames or substories save it. They're all mediocre or done better in a different game in the series.
Finally,

>godlike Akiyama section
>stunlock people in the corner to win

For how much you all seem to hate women some of you are pretty badly hung up on Kaoru.

I find it funny how back when one of my friends was playing 4 for the first time he thought Yasuko was Saejima's wife

>HAHA HES A DUMB VIRGIN KEK ITS CANON
That's how he's portrayed in every single game after 2, user.

okay but which game had the most plot relevant/important characters dying? 4? 5?

It doesn't matter if he says it's his opinion, he's the main fucking writer and one of the main producers of the series, probably second to only Nagoshi. That means it's how he writes Kiryu and it shows in the games, also there's a loading screen in 6 which says Yumi is the only person he's ever loved

I mean, it’d look better than him going after haruka

Such a shame that this entire series is riddled with twitter and reddit now.

stop fucking posting this, he knew she is a honey trap

Arent the loading screens only in the english version of 6? They even explain honorifics like aniki for whatever fag decided to start with it. The ono michio substory is where he says he only loved one person and im sure i remember the loading screen actually pointing out that yumi isn’t the only one he loved.

Haruka x Saejima OTP

1 obviously

It's quite revealing how one-dimensional you think relationships are.

The main writer himself used that as an example of him being unable to move on from Yumi, see See above. An user asked why the writer wrote Kaoru out to the lengths that he did so I posted a quote which explains why, I don't know why so many people are desperate for an argument.

Both Saejimas are like this. Nicely written stupid people deserve main character places sometimes too, I mean like 90% of fictional media are about somebody cool. Tiresome

Did the Saejima family ever even really exist

>nishiki
>jingu
>shimano
>shinji
>yumi
>dojima
>kazama
wait, you're actually right

In any hostess sub story he easily seduces them and fucks them

do you have a source for that quote?

Substories aren't canon, unless you want me to believe Ichiban became CEO of Japan's #1 corporation in the span of an afternoon.

Post the original jp text, then we will talk. Besides, it contradicts what I saw in the fucking game itself which is a composite work of a whole team worth of creators, so it's not here in the actual game for a reason.

Substories are "sitcom canon", any end result that would change the status quo too much is ignored, but the events still mostly happen.

>yakuza 6 but harutos dad is actually saejima

Google exists, did you know if you use quotations it will search for the exact quote, you can use that to easily find the sources of things like this. I'm not going to spoonfeed you something this easy to find

See above

Right, and the status quo is Kiryu being a sexless virgin. His actions in the hostess substories only exist to support the players' enjoyment of these franchise-spanning minigames, not to support Kiryu's character.
Kiryu (and by extension and protagonist) will often act out of character during substories in order to progress their plots. They can't be treated as canon material.

wtf chef's job is actually good for nanba

>Some Geomijul crossbow man shoots a drunk asshole in the head
>Think the Geomijul are some deep dark organization, turns out it's just a one-off who meets you in front of Bleach Japan only to never be seen again
What the fuck was the point of that cutscene? Was it just to mess with my expectations? I mean I guess it did, but it's still really weird.
