I'm just here to complain about the trash car chase sequence with that rocket launcher dude on a semi. F all of that. Ruins a perfectly good game.
(Now that I've whined about it here, I can beat it on my next attempt -- as is tradition with me on Grouvee.)

I'm in the final chapter, but still have a looooot of side stuff to do, despite how much time I've sunk into it already. I don't plan to do it all because I'm not trophy hunting that hard, and I can't be bothered with some of it, but I do want to do more of the substories and such. I …
I'm in the final chapter, but still have a looooot of side stuff to do, despite how much time I've sunk into it already. I don't plan to do it all because I'm not trophy hunting that hard, and I can't be bothered with some of it, but I do want to do more of the substories and such. I just don't care too much about taking on the host girl completion points or acing the batting cages/pocket car/darts minigames. (But I might change my mind, haha.)
I'm probably just going to finish up the story tonight and then continue the rest in Premium Adventure. I've already got all of my abilities aside from Dragon Style maxed, so I'm ready to see the conclusion and then goof off for a while before I set this one down.

Good game, repetitive af toward the end but the story makes up for it

I'm in Chapter...5, I think. I've been having a really good time just prowling the streets looking for locker keys and beating up goons and hooligans with traffic cones and shop signs. I'm not a very defensive player (in general), so I've been forcing myself to be better about blocking. It's not really dire, but it helps. I really like …

The story has been interesting so far. I haven't seen a whoooole lot of it yet because I've been taking my time exploring the new things that opened up after major events in the first couple of chapters. But I'm really intrigued about where it's going, and I love Kiryu (and

Picked this back up/restarted it last night. I'd only gotten like maybe two hours into it before in 2019, so it wasn't like it was a big loss of playtime. I'm looking forward to some brawlin'.

I have all of the mainline games minus Like a Dragon now because of the PSN sale, so I'll probably play these in between JRPGs or something.
I'm still working on Trails in the Sky; haven't played in like a week because of work, uncle in the hospital, other family I've never met coming into town, etc., so I haven't had the focus for it, but I'll get back to it soon.

Kiwami might be the game I play the most of out of any of these Yakuza games so far. I found an item that shows me where substories are on the map, and now I'm on a mad obsession to do every one of them. And there are a lot! Also feel better about my combat abilities than I did …

I found an item that shows me where substories are on the map, and now I'm on a mad obsession to do every one of them. And there are a lot! Also feel better about my combat abilities than I did in zero. The Brawler stance is not one I tried much in the previous game, but it's all I do now.

Everyone of these games I play I enjoy more than the last, which says a lot because my first one was Like a Dragon and I did not think I could like one of these games more than that. Yakuza 0 was a slow burn for me, but once it caught me it really caught me, and now Kiwami has …

Yakuza 0 was a slow burn for me, but once it caught me it really caught me, and now Kiwami has me without even being a slow burn. It's so damn good. It doesn't feel like it has any right being this cool. Kiryu has basically become my favorite male character from any game I've played, and while there are some super frustrating spots, overall this game is A+++++ killer, hot shit awesome.

Mother fucking Majima. I got him, but I had to stock up on so many healing and combat items. This guy! If I didn't love him so much I'd hate him.
Seriously loving this playthrough though. I don't understand why Yakuza games are allowed to be so good.

After beating Kiwami, I can't help but to appreciate Yakuza: Like a Dragon even more with both origin arcs of Kazuma Kiryu and Kasuga Ichiban paralleling each other in such similar ways.

Read moreAfter beating Kiwami, I can't help but to appreciate Yakuza: Like a Dragon even more with both origin arcs of Kazuma Kiryu and Kasuga Ichiban paralleling each other in such similar ways. I appreciate the idea even more of creating a new protagonist and combat system for the series even more now since like starting the series, it's going to be generally new. Not gonna explain how since that would spoil both games, but they nailed the parallel. Teachnically, they're both called Ryu Ga Gotoku (meaning like a dragon) after all. Progression far pales in comparison to Yakuza 0 because of the Majima Everywhere mechanic locking a style behind story progression and fighting Majima again and again(I never thought of grinding the cage matches), and combat is much worse with annoying enemies and bosses and brawler being the only style with good magnetized attacks which is most viable. Game's OK. But I think I would've liked Yakuza 1 more if I played the PS2 version undubbed. I'll play Yakuza 2 (the PS2 version) sometime later.

Just finished chapter 10. Boss fights in general have been garbage, but this boss fight (against Kazuto Arase) is THE worst one i've encountered in a videogame (not talking about difficulty), and funnily enough i've read that there's worse to come. Game's still mostly good but now every time i get to a boss fight it takes me back to …

Main Story finished in Hard Mode. I expected the final battles to be harder, but the last one was epic.
Anyway, this game is not as good as Yakuza Zero, but an incredible game anyway. 5 stars without a doubt (Zero would have 6 stars, it's too good for humankind).
I look forward next Yakuza games. Next step, Kiwami 2!

Finished this just half an hour ago. It was satisfying finishing Majima Everywhere and then making the final fights really trivial.
