The masculine urge to buy everything you need to set up an emulation machine for your favorite console, spending hours pre-loading thousands of games on it, only to never touch it again
I’m not usually someone who cares too much about story retcons and whatnot in games but holy shit, yakuza kiwami 3 is genuinely offensive. I don’t think RGG even realizes how much changes in yakuza 4 based off the singular decision to not have Kiryu get stabbed in 3
Kiryu doesn’t get stabbed in 3 -> Hamazaki doesn’t go to jail -> Hamazaki doesn’t help break Saejima out of jail
Like, I get that you can theoretically write around all of this, but WHY?? What the fuck are they cooking? Based off of how they’re talking about it in interviews—
Yakuza 4 genuinely makes no sense if you’re playing through the games for the first time now, RGG fucked up so bad that I have to recommend that people play yakuza 3 (my least favorite yakuza game) instead of the remake
