Kiryu has what

Matt

Yakuza 6 is fully voice acted. This is a blessing and a curse, I like that I can actually hear the characters in sub stories and the like for once, but the animation during the more talky cutscenes (like exposition dumps) is basically nonexistent, I might as well be listening to a radio drama during those parts. This happened in Yakuza 0 too but the expository dialogue is SUPER out of hand in this one, it’s everywhere, and now it applies to sub stories too. Might have to start skipping through dialogue with this one once I’ve read the subtitles instead of at the end of the voice line like I’ve been doing throughout 5 and 0.

Matt

why is there not a chapter in Yakuza: Like A Dragon dedicated to Kiryu suffering from long COVID due to his age and smoking habits? Bad unrealistic game

Matt

Lauren Boebert gave her boyfriend an old fashioned at a showing of Beetlejuice in Colorado Springs and all I’m really getting out of this is that I should be buying tickets to Beetlejuice.

Matt

Very cool and normal that you need to limit your game to only use two CPU cores in order to do the fishing minigame, SEGA.

Matt

If you played all the Yakuzas as they were coming out, starting from Yakuza PS2, by the time you get to Yakuza 0 it probably starts to look like Kiryu actually died and the games that followed (in order, a samurai spin-off starring a real life historical figure with Kiryu’s face grafted on where he meets other real life historical figures who look like his friends and enemies, a prequel set in the 80s, and a remake of the first game with stuff that didn’t happen in the original release) are just his brain coming to terms with death

Matt

There are no restrooms in Washington DC metro stations. I had to venture into the city on Saturday to find a bathroom. Found a Macy’s. It was close enough. What I’m mad about is that in DC you get charged your fare when you leave the station rather than the way it works in Europe where you pay for a distance up front, so I basically paid $2 to use the bathroom.

Matt

I’m on Yakuza 0 right now, going back to the Kiwami play style is oddly refreshing. In a weird way the substory finder in 2-5 was detrimental to my experience of the game because instead of just wandering Kamurocho looking for things to do I was loading the game and bee-lining for the next marker on the map. Might see if there’s a way to turn it off in 6 and onwards.

Matt

Just learned that women have their own restroom now. What will the woke feminists think of next ????

Matt

yosemite sam goes into a synagogue. now he's yosemite sam

Matt

the plot of danny phantom is that a kid dies in a lab accident but gets stuck in limbo and is actually only half dead like ricky gervais in that one movie, so he decides to become a race traitor and use ghostbusters tech on all the other dead people but also he's buff now

Matt

that Steve Harwell wasn’t immediately checked into rehab after his last performance is a failure on somebody’s part to make sure a clearly unwell guy was getting taken care of

Matt

Learned while playing Starfield today that if you goad enemy ships into following you while you jump to another system you can just lead them straight to a bunch of United Colonies warships guarding a planet and watch while they get obliterated by the most batcaveed up firepower you’ve ever seen

Matt

I adore Starfield

Found Eminem’s burner

I’m going to try and stream on Twitch every THURSDAY starting this week. This Thursday, I’ll be playing Bethesda Game Studios’ upcoming space RPG STARFIELD. I will be going live at 8pm EST. Follow me on Twitch and turn on notifications to get notified when I go live! http://twitch.tv/MrMattimation

I am thankful to Yakuza for bridging the gap between Zelda and Starfield but for now I must let you go

Matt

two or three unrelated straight guys have to raise a kid together but one of them is addicted to crack and is deeply in debt to the local mafia

Matt

new sitcom idea (never been done before): two or three unrelated straight guys have to raise a kid together

Matt

Done with Yakuza 4, now on Yakuza 5. Big thing I’m noticing about 5 is that it’s slightly more impressive both technically and as a game than Yakuza Kiwami, which released four years later on a next gen console, which is a bit confusing to me but whatever

Matt

Very jarring going from playing as your friendly neighborhood loan shark with a charitable business model that makes no financial sense to just straight up a mass shooter whose first action out of prison was have a very uncomfortable interaction with the previous game’s player character’s 14 year old daughter.

Matt

Yakuza 4 is just an M-rated version of Sonic Adventure.
