Arin you are the dumbest motherfucker. It’s like you just completely willfully ignore every actual reason people are wary of this shit.
Arin, you think Crush 40’s lead singer sounds like Chad Kroeger and mumbles out nonsense in every song, questioned how Super Mario 64 was ever a success, took longer to beat Thousand-Year Door than anyone else ever, seriously believe Alucard is Dracula, defended Anita Sarkeesian’s stupid-ass Tropes vs Women videos, encouraged Blizzard to make every single character in Overwatch gay, admitted to just fucking around to make Sonic games look worse than they are and get a rise out of the series’ fans, are under the impression that Ryu and Ken hate each other, have said no video game needs an actual plot without a hint of joking, and have unironically insisted that DmC improved Dante.
I think your opinion is among the most invalid of all time.
I think my absolute favorite thing about the Yakuza series is that there is absolutely zero cutscene and gameplay segregation.
Like, in a lot of games, a cutscene leading into a fight will over exaggerate how many enemies you’re going up against, and then the actual fight in gameplay is like fraction of that. Conversely, and way more frustratingly, you’ll do a gameplay segment where you perform expertly, and the cutscene after has your party down on the ground while the villain appears unscathed.
But Yakuza? Make no mistake, that cutscene that showed Kiryu getting ready to solo at least one hundred thugs is going to be followed by some gameplay where you fight at least one hundred thugs, and then the cutscene after is gonna have the bad guy saying I CAN’T BELIEVE KIRYU JUST SOLOED ONE HUNDRED THUGS
Giethoorn in Netherlands has no roads or any modern transportation at all, only canals. Well, and 176 bridges too. Tourists have to leave their cars outside of the village and travel here by foot or boat by. So you can probably imagine how peaceful it is here.
