You mean to tell me that all it took for him to permanently go insane was a blind girl getting shot?

No user there were several melodramatic and badly written scenes which combined to turn him insane but only when it suited the story.

Majima is only as "insane" as he needs to be for each individual scene. There's no bigger copout in writing than a character who is RANDOM.

bro this game came out like over 5 years ago

As of Yakuza 0 Majima isn't actually insane, he's just a really good actor.

The way he acts in 0 is probably more like his real personality. It's a retcon but that's the way it goes.

Honestly this. I love the Yakuza games but how anyone takes the story in these games seriously is beyond me

Playing Kimwami rn feel like I’m getting my shit kicked in by the tougher enemies what are some skills I should get to help me out? I’ve been investing mostly in more hp

It's not much of a retcon, the way past Majima is described in Yakuza 5 (that Majima was from a few years after Yakuza 0) he seems pretty normal

Am I the only one enjoying Kiwami more than 0? I find it more engaging for some reason

Never played a Yakuza game
Which PC game is the best starting point? Kiwami's just a remake of the first game right?

Why do females like this character so much

0, then Kiwami.

he was always crazy since losing his eye and getting tortured

It’s an old game slowpoke

0 is designed to be an entry point into the serie, and it's one of the most solid yakuza game
for one thing I like the fact that skills aren't unlocked with money because I'm an autistic money hoarder in videogames

tbdesu Majima's style from 0 to Y1 is a bit jarring for newcomers to the series.

He goes from a pretty suave guy to "WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY" tier very fast. It's why I'd consider his recent characterization to be a retcon.

>Japan in charge of subtlety
Let's be honest. Was there literally anyone in existence who played Final Fantasy 10 and did not IMMEDIATELY realize you were on a suicide-mission?

I have been mocked in the past for not getting emotional during some of "the great" films and tv shows out there. (I'm a little autistic) But Yakuza and anime can make me emotional because the writing is melodramatic and it's always very clear what I should be feeling. The music helps, but mostly I like that the characters all say clearly how they are feeling and what they are thinking. This helps me understand them and I can feel myself getting emotional from the sad parts.

all yakuza games have something stupid

y1
>yami was alive all along just to die at the end 5 seconds after she shows up
y2
>fake bomb
y3
>kiryu long lost brother
y4
>rubber bullets
y5
>the whole game other than kiryu vs the entire tojo clan
Y6
>muh chinese baby

probably because of what this user said

What's worse in Yakuza games? The bad writing or the extremely repetitive and broken combat?

probably the recycled assets, maps, and animations

Feels good being a Shenmue chad.

Playing my first Yakuza game and I'm about 10 hours in and getting a little bored of all the fights being the same. Do they get more varied later on?

the 12 and 13 year olds who were the target audience
no adult would think it was anything other than tripe

Nah not really

Yes and no. Main story missions will shake things up a bit, throw more dudes with weapons at you and whatnot. Plus the moves you unlock will change combat quite significantly. Most of the variety comes from trying to get new/rare heat moves.

Is there any trick to Mesuking in Kiwami? Or is it mostly luck?

i dunno if fake bomb is more stupid than subterranean golden osaka castle with ninja warriors and tigers.

I'm glad someone said it.

>Majima straightup says it's an act right from the start
>People don't get it
These are the same niggers that go "W-why did he talk to Makoto at the end"
Why can't zoomer pay attention

It's as simple as just picking the strongest girl you currently have and then counter-pick whatever your opponents strongest skill is. So if rock is their strongest you pick paper. You can find the best girls in the game just on the streets.

Get the better cards, it's 50% luck and 50% cards instead of Zero's cat fight which is 99% luck

The bomb being a fake in 2 sums up perfectly why the writing in these games is terrible. Nothing ever actually matters or has consequence. Things happen just to have a melodramatic scene which ten minutes later doesn't even matter anymore. Kaz can be stabbed and left to die and then be back on his feet and fine 2 minutes later. These games are full of this shit. It's not even "twists" because that would mean things would have to be foreshadowed or at least still have consequence. But literally everything that you think is happening can be undone at any moment. RUBBER BULLETS is the most extreme example but the games are full of this garbage. It only annoys me because when people point out how shit the gameplay is they defend the games by saying "you idiot, you play for the story" but that makes no sense when they're written so badly.

he didnt talk to makoto at the end though

Wish I could express my own feelings and all that as directly as they do in these games but then I remember my upbringing was so bad that I always got mocked or ridiculed for showing any sort of empathy, on here as well most times to the point it just doesn't feel ''right'' anymore as a man to show emotions.
