Attempting to 100% this game is driving me insane. Taking a looooong break.

This game is freaking gold.

This game is freaking gold.
Spent almost an hour at the batting center trying to get my timing just right. (And nailed it!)
Spent the next hour at Pocket Racing - before I knew it I was testing every component to see how many seconds I could shave off. Getting the right set and winning a race at the last minute feels AMAZING. And honestly, Kiryu posing all serious with the car is worth it alone.
Got roped up in a series of substories with the Pocket Racer and a bunch of kids. And Yakuza just keeps on layering funny stuff and absurd stuff and heartwarming out of NOWHERE. But Kiryu lifting everyone up never gets old.
Finally decided to head into the story. And all I can think about is this freaking, split-second QTE that absolutely blind-sided me. Just managed to hit it and was rewarded with the most dramatic business card handout of all time.
Now I've reached the real estate stuff, let's see how deep it goes.
(And I still can't believe I actually learned to play Mahjong...)

Spent a whole day playing and just realized I did absolutely nothing story-wise. Minigames are veeery varied and all seem to have some progression in them. Pretty well-built! Absolutely no way I'll be able to learn Mahjong and Shougi though..

I usually don’t like beat ‘em ups. I usually don’t like long cutscenes. But they are both compelling

my favorite bit in this is probably the cabaret club management "arc" between the cabaret club minigame itself, the 'training/dialogs' with your platinum stars, and the cabaret battles, i feel this is the best bit in the game.
would love to play a yakuza spinoff that revolves specially on this!.

I went back to Yakuza 0 to get into the Pocket Circuit storyline and this baffles me.
WHY ARE CAR PARTS FOR TOY CARS SO EXPENSIVE? This is the equivalent of spending $50,000 per part. Kids are the audience for this game, so what kind of kid has that much money to make the best car?

Happy "Day I finally beat Yakuza 0 after 2 years of having it" day

As the master of Wii Sports bowling, I got Nugget on my first game that I was tasked to get a turkey.
