Jingu: Bad Villain, or is there more to him?

This is a pretty long post, just to let you know going into it.
So I've done a couple of these reviews/character study's of characters from Yakuza, but they've (Shindo and Hayashi) have had small roles in their respective games. Plus, they've had generally positive reception by fans. But Jingu is widely regarded as one of the worst villains in Yakuza by many, for good reasons. No matter what you think of him, the fact that his first actual appearance is in the last chapter in the game is objectively terrible. There's traditional twist villains, and then there's just introducing the villain in one of the last scenes in the game. But I've grown on Jingu. Less so because of the character himself, more because of what he represents. With the fluff out of the way, let's talk about Jingu.
Let's get one thing out of the way. This isn't me saying that there's a bunch of layers to Jingu's character. In fact, he and Lao Gui from 0 might truly be the only 100% pure evil characters in the series. And you know what? That's fine. Hell, it's kinda telling that even among fierce, ruthless Yakuza like Shimano and Nishiki, the politician is the most evil of the bunch. Don't judge a book by it's cover I guess. Not saying that Shimano, Nishiki, or anyone in the Yakuza are saints (though for some, it's usually a grey area), but Jingu works as this contrast from what we've seen before.
When talking about Jingu, we got to ask: Does he work as a twist? To which I'll answer: Kinda. Like, the player that questions a lot about story details will get relatively satisfied with Jingu. The father of Haruka is something I'm sure most would be curious about. And the fact that the 10 billion yen ties back to him is kinda neat. Plus, throughout the game there's been various hints that there's more at play then just Yakuza. Let's go through his involvement in the game first.
He's first introduced to us in chapter 12... of 13. Already not a good start. Kazama tells us his backstory. He met up with Yumi after she lost her memory, and they had Haruka. Jingu had lot's of ambitions, and chairman Sera helped him whenever he could. But he got a proposal to marry the daughter of the prime minister, and he just couldn't resist all that power he'd have. But of course, he got caught up in a scandal. A journalist tried to blackmail him using Yumi and Haruka, so Jingu just offed him. At this stage in the game, he didn't want to lose his position, that's all he cared about. He called Sera to help him, and requested to have Yumi and Haruka taken out as well, so this event didn't repeat. Of course, that didn't happen. Jingu is the reason the fake identity "Mizuki" was created. And this is where we learn the 10 billion was Jingu's money. Before we learn more, Shimano does his thing.
His next appearance is in the last chapter, to take back the 10 billion from Yumi. And he's bringing MIA to finish the job. He establishes himself as emotionless evil bad guy by attempting to take Haruka's life without a second thought. Like I said, Yumi and Haruka to him are just getting in the way of his success at this point. He does say that what he does is for the good of the country, but I doubt he actually cares about it. Jingu has his own vision of what the country should look like, and that's about all care he shows. Man's on a power trip, and he wants more of it. He also shows himself to be a backstabber, switching sides from Tojo to Omi. Jingu is incredibly ambitious, as he wants to control both politics and organized crime in Japan. He also approached Nishiki about this, and basically put all the terrible ideas in his head, knowing he too practically lived to rise to the top. Kiryu also helped him out considerably, obviously unintentionally. Kiryu tries to shut this down by revealing that Sera knew of Jingu's betrayal, and shows him that Kiryu is the next Tojo chairman.
After beating some MIA, Date and Sudo show up, and attempt to arrest Jingu. The charges are bribery and illegal firearm's. Jingu proves he's innocent by shooting at the chopper. Smart. Jingu realizes the only way out of this for him is to kill everyone, but Kiryu just casually beats down both him and ALL of the MIA members with him (with some badass music to go with it, "The Wicked" is such a great track for Kiwami). Jingu's last scene is after the fight with Nishiki. The 10 billion yen vault is open, but Jingu suddenly shows up and shoots Kiryu in the leg, as well as fatally shooting Yumi. Before Jingu finishes them off, Nishiki comes in for his final save, stabs Jingu, and shoots the bomb, which of course sends the money flying. And that's the end of both Nishiki and Jingu (though I don't believe we ever see their body's, but come on, they're dead).
So role in game wise, yeah. Jingu kinda sucked. Just shows up in the last chapter and reveals to be the mastermind behind everything. In a way, he also undervalues just about every one of Nishiki's actions too. But looking at it a bit more, there's a lot of symbolism with Jingu. We'll get the obvious ones out of the way. His fight takes place on top of the millennium tower. He's a politician, he's practically got the world in his hands. Obviously, he's top of the world. And like I said before, the guy who's not even Yakuza is one of the most evil bastards in the series, which line up with the themes this series often shows.
But then there's more of the subtle things. How he's a parallel to Nishiki. Both want to rise to the top, and both eventually do. However, Nishiki went through hell and back to do it. It took him everything, and he lost himself completely, but HE did it. Jingu? Dude didn't earn shit. He married the prime ministers daughter, now he's got power. There's the obvious similarity in that both are the main antagonists. And how Jingu represents what Nishiki is becoming. We never get to see it, but Yumi brings up how Jingu wasn't always this power hungry murderer, but he eventually became it. He sold his soul to change his fate, and it turned him into this. Which is exactly what Nishiki did once his sister died. The extra cutscenes in Kiwami show this well too. To Nishiki, he had nothing left, so he worked his way to the top, and fully intends to go as high as possible. So when he see's Jingu with a gun to Kiryu's head. It's like looking in a mirror. He realizes what a monster he's turned into. That's partially why he stabs him, why he blows up the money (and himself plus Jingu), why he saves Kiryu and Haruka.

So in conclusion: is Jingu a bad villain? At face value, absolutely, no contest. But looking at him at another angle, there's a bit to consider. He especially puts a deeper meaning to Nishiki's character, for one. He's a fairly well done plot twist, and he's entertaining to watch, if nothing else. I made this to see if Jingu was a definitive good or bad villain. And as if the themes of the story itself confronted me, I found that nothings black and white about him, though writing this has made me appreciate him a bit more. Thanks for reading, and sorry for the long post. Have a good day/night, everyone.

Mr Libido's: The true heroes of Yakuza 0.

There will also be FULL spoilers for Yakuza Kiwami in this character analysis, so beware if you haven't played that/1.
During your playthrough with Majima in chapter 3, you'll be tasked with scouting out Odyssey, a rival cabaret club. Majima goes into it not expecting any surprises. You look around, and Majima comments on many things in the club. Surely this information will be integral in beating Odyssey in the Cabaret competition. Then, Majima looks to the left of the club, and sees the sight of his life. A man in nothing but his underwear, in the back of the club, for all to see. Not to mention preforming a dance, which is integral to Majima's character, we'll see how later. Majima is reasonably thrown off guard, but there's nothing else to the first encounter of this beautiful man. Most players will assume this is just Yakuza doing it's thing; Surely this character won't come back.
But then, Yakuza 0 throws you for a loop. In chapter 4, Majima goes to a telephone club find more info about one Makoto Makimura. He's found someone who might share him info. Ready to go on the date, Majima is instead interrupted by, you guessed it, Mr. Libido. This "walking erection" has no shame, and assumes Majima to have come to the telephone club to slay his dragon. Majima naturally says that there's more to it then that. Mr. Libido (actual name Habu, who I'll be calling as such for the rest of the analysis.) doesn't really care, but thinks that he and Majima are in the same boat. He claims his libido is legendary, and he needs to take care of it multiple times per day. He asks if Majima has any recommendations for girls, and that they can trade info. Majima refuses, but Habu let's him know he'll be around if he changes his mind.
For some, this was the last time they ever encountered Habu, and just chalked him up as a weird character. Maybe he's an easter egg or something. But rest assured, this is far from his last appearance. If you go out of your way to view good ol softcore porn, you'll not only gain a wholesome friendship with the worker there, but also run into Habu once more. He's glad he was right about Majima; Just as much of a horny man as he is. Majima again denies his accusations, but it's clear he had ulterior motives. Habu is certain Majima's five knuckle shuffle is still to come. And gets so excited, that he... Presumably nuts right then and there. But the man is already raring to go not 10 seconds later. He goes to pursue other girls, and leaves Majima to himself.
It's important to state that you have to go out of your way to meet Habu. He ONLY shows up if you watch a variety of erotic videos. Ultimately 15 are required to view to finish the friendship arc. This is important because the more videos you watch, the more Majima let's loose, the more he let's go of the shackles holding him back. We'll continue through more of the questline before we talk more about the many hidden layers of this arc of Majima's.
We see this during the many info exchanges between the two lustful lads. The more that gets shared, the more we see a bond forming between Habu and Majima. He even openly admits that after all that he's going through, this place is relaxing. No doubt part of it is because of Habu, who proves to be one of the greatest friends Majima ever had. It also contributes to Majima's transformation. If Nishitani represents the crazy side of Majima, then Habu represents the side that let's loose, that ultimately doesn't care about what others think of him. We even see this with Habu's dance. This is the first thing you see him doing in Odyssey, and Majima inherited it for himself, as players can see during the Disiple of the New Order sidequest, as well as during points of the Majima Everywhere encounters. For all intents and purposes, Habu is as much of Majima in the future as Nishitani is.
But of course, not all substories can be sunshine and rainbows, as we see this friendship event take a dark turn. Majima encounters Habu, who reveals that he's been cutting back on clubs, and now he can't get "it" up. He insists that an energy drink he frequently has will solve everything. Though Majima worries that a drink of that magnitude could make things worse, and even kill him. But Habu has nothing left to lose. Majima gets him the drink, and of course, Habu is perfectly fine after that. He laments how he's seen just about every girl in Sotenbori , but Majima reminds him to just see his favourites. The quest ends on a lighter note, with Habu and Majima closer then ever.
And that's it. All in all, Habu is a wonderful character of deep intricacies, who is a perfect representation of what Majima will beco-
Oh, yeah. Kamurocho has a Mr. Libido too.
So Kiryu's just walking around one day, no doubt contemplating if it was a good idea to buy a sophisticated lad porn magazines, when he comes across a strange bald man, asking for telephone cards. The man has a unique power where if he sees a mere photo of a woman, he gets to see absolutely everything. He reveals his name to be Akimoto (not to be confused with domestic accident waiting to happen Akimoto from various substories throughout the series), and tells Kiryu to see him if he has anything to show. Until then, he'll be "wrecking the weasel". It's never clear whether Akimoto and Habu are related, though it's assumed that they are, sharing the balding hair, and the near endless stamina and love for all things women. Perhaps it's genetic. Wonder what their fathers like. Anyway, we see how much more subdued Akimoto is compared to Habu. Not to say that he's polite and respectful, but he certainly goes to much less extents then his brother from possibly the same mother (I mean, at least Akimoto wears clothes) Much like Kiryu is a naturally subdued person. Again, the libidos symbolize what are protagonists are, or will become. In that regard, they're wonderful.
Admittedly this substory is much more out of character for Kiryu. I don't really see our never killing friend picking up cards and showing them to Akimoto. Nevertheless, throughout the quest we see more of Akimoto's powers in action, which impresses Kiryu, and no doubt makes the player jealous. The next time we see him he reveals he even sees through the pixels that censor it. During his next encounter, he reveals he wants to stop looking at cards altogether, and let his mind do all the work.
This however, does not have a happy ending. Like Habu, Akimoto lost the ability to finish the job. He can get it up just fine, but he theorizes that his imagined girls are so much better then reality, that he can't have that sweet release. And whenever he so much as blinks, he sees them. I'd wager it's a sadder tale then Habu's, and I'm not scared to admit this scene had me in tears. Kiryu takes the time out of his life to find the girl of Akimoto's dreams. He goes to the Okama bar (the one place Akimoto probably hasn't gone to), and gets Akimoto to visit the Mama there.
Akimoto does so, and all is well in the world. Akimoto can finally be content with girls that aren't in his head. Like Habu, Akimoto develops a bond with the protagonist not unlike a bond of Kyodais. Akimoto is more then glad to have met Kiryu, and the two go their separate ways, though no doubt we'll see these two beautiful bastards in a sequel. All in all, the Mr Libido's are a masterclass of storytelling, and symbolize perfectly what these two characters become/already are. And that's everything. Sorry for the long post, and I hope you enjoyed me talking absolute nonsense for a long time.

Hi all,
Due to everything going on from Humble's side, I am okay taking Steam keys, especially if you have rep.

HOW TO MAKE A GIFT LINK WITH HUMBLE CHOICE

"Get game" will instantly reveal the key and NOT simply add the game to your Downloads page for this bundle.

The Dream One Piece Game

Yeah, I spent a while trying to make this but here goes. I kind of made it like a speech presentation so please excuse the more dramatic tone to it.
Another user - u/Villainous-Lightning made a similar post a while ago which gives more depth to certain aspects. https://www.reddit.com/OnePiece/comments/k728ti/ideal_one_piece_videogame/
I also made this in video format so you can check that out. https://youtu.be/QYNxfN7Tiqg
Over the decades we have been slowly following the grand epic that is One Piece. One Piece is the best anime that I’ve ever seen. And in every single type of media that we see One Piece in, it's always been solid. Except for... the games. Like when was the last time we actually got a good long-lasting One Piece game. Sure we have the pirate warriors series but that is far too stale and it never brings the recognition that One Piece gets and deserves. From 2012 to 2020 Bandai Namco has been consistently publishing a new One Piece game.
2012 - Pirate Warriors for the PS3 and that was an average game that did bring a new side to the One Piece gaming aspect. The Mouso.
2013 - Unlimited World Red for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PC, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS. Just what were they thinking with this game? This singular game made us One Piece fans a laughing stock. We also got Pirate Warriors 2 for the PS3 and Vita but that was so stale that there's not much to say other than the fact that the Bandai felt that this was the series to continue developing One Piece Games in.
2014 - Treasure Cruise for Mobile. And while this game is still running, it's a gacha game that has very lacklustre gameplay and an extremely expensive gambling aspect. This really only exists today because a bunch of people that like One Piece and are prone to gambling exist.
2015 - Pirate Warriors 3 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PC and PlayStation 3 comes out and once again it is mid.
2016 - Bandai decides to switch it up and bring us a new approach to the One Piece games. The battle arena fighting game. One Piece Burning Blood releases in 2016 for the PS4 and PC and while there were some good aspects that were in this game, overall Burning Blood ended up being a game that was another generic anime fighting game that lacked depth or any meaningful sense of balance.
2017 - actually was a year that we did not get any new One Piece game. So yeah.
2018 - however Bandai Namco decided that it was time for One Piece to make a return into the gaming industry in which Bounty Rush was released. Yeah, it's a mobile game but it does have better gameplay aspects which are consequently limited by the gacha system. Again it repeats the shortcomings of Treasure Cruise.
2019 - Now this was the year where in my opinion, One Piece was delivered in a genre that was perfect for it. The open-world genre. One Piece World Seeker was released for the PS4, Xbox One and PC and while it had the foundations of a decent game, the combat, story and open-world lacked enough content to make the game meaningful as a whole.
2020 - To make sure this year was thoroughly shit Bandai Namco published One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. Another iteration of Pirate Warriors that built on the foundations of its predecessors but it still kept its original flaws.
As you can see that there is no One Piece game that still has any ounce of life aside from Pirate Warriors 4 but give it a couple of months it follows the others in a comfortable coffin.
Okay, there's no point complaining about an issue if I don’t present any solutions. So I present to you, The Dream One Piece Game
Genre
If there was any genre that would fit One Piece it is obviously the open-world adventure RPG. For me and a lot of viewers and readers, one of the biggest aspects that drew people into One Piece was the sense of this grand adventure that the straw hats will go on. It was never about the cool fight scenes or other more shallow aspects. Although we do love a good fight scene. So how we do this is we have a One Piece open-world game where we start in Foosha village with Luffy setting out on his adventures to become the pirate king. He hops from island to island progressing the original narrative. These islands must be massive, Alabasta, Fishman Island, Dressrosa these were considered countries with their own regions and towns and surrounding these large islands must be larger waters. The Straw hats are going on a journey. A journey that they have no idea of what will happen.
Structure
We want the players to be at a point where with each island that they play through, they can look back and reminisce on the journey that they have had. The idea is that they gotta be thinking “We really did that shit”. This means that we should fill each main island with plenty of meaningful content. Main missions, side missions and other systems that we get into later. The game is structured where there are primarily two types of mission, canon and non - canon. Players are not allowed to travel to the next island without completing the canon missions that replicate the manga and the anime to an extent. The non-canon missions are optional of course. These optional non-canon missions could retell the filler stories like Luffy, Zoro and Chopper getting lost in Alabasta and finding a poneglyph or Sanji meeting the old chef that uses ingredients from the All Blue. Even the inclusion of movie content would be welcomed. The developers could include some exclusive missions that somewhat replicate what we see in the sub-stories from the Yakuza series. I also have an idea that there are certain tasks on islands that are exclusive to each of the strawhats. They could come in the form of minigames or just missions that are relevant to each straw hat which can reoccur in each island.
Luffy could have a mission where he could visit all the restaurants on the island and test out their food. Sort of a completion list. He could even have a coliseum mode where he fights as Afro Luffy or Lucy where he dukes it out with the antagonists of each arc in an exhibition match.
For Zoro, we can have him return to his past life as a bounty hunter where he can go around and hunt for wanted criminals and maybe even set him out on treasure hunts so that he could improve on his sense of direction. Johnny and Yosaku can even make an appearance. These bounties could have their own storyline that somewhat is reminiscent of the contracts from The Witcher series.
Nami could have a simple exploration objective so on completion she could be one step closer to drawing a map of the world. She could also have a business enterprise mode where she can run certain establishments that generate revenue for her and even get into competition with other businesses.
When it comes to Usopp we can have a minigames section where we play as Usopp in certain accuracy based modes. Darts, Duck Shooting, Sniping or even duels. Even a mode where you play as Sogeking could be a lot of fun.
One of Sanji’s most apparent qualities aside from his lust is his speed. Because of this, we can do some time trial events or some races where Sanji goes up against other well-known speedsters from the series. We could have some minigames where Sanji can go on dates with other people trying to find love and some action.
Chopper could have some minigames where we could have him take part in the surgery. Kind of a surgeon simulator. Honestly, I can't really think of any ideas for Chopper. He is quite one note with the cute doctor aspect. Maybe you guys can leave some ideas.
With Robin, we could go on pseudo story investigation missions where we learn more exclusive history about certain islands. I'm not entirely sure how these missions could go. It could be like scavenger hunts and it might not even have to be canon history but it's there to help build more character to her character. Elements from the Ace Attorney series may prove to be a solid inspiration.
Franky could have an entire minigame section where we use the Battle Franky Battleships and go on a full warfare mode and battling other Pirate and Marine ship. The pirate ship battle features that were present in Assassins Creed Black Flag are easily some of the best single-player pirate ship experiences so that has to be a muse.
For Brook, it's very obvious that there has to be some level of music involved. So the most fitting feature for Brook would be a rhythm minigame. Like a karaoke or a guitar hero mode. Maybe even a dance mode that we see in the tap tap revolution series.
If we include Jinbei then it is only right as the helmsman of the crew, we could bring in a ship racing game mode where there could be a progression system of upgrading the Thousand Sunny to challenge other ships.
There could even be missions of cover stories that tell the journey of other characters. For example, we get the Lola and Chiffon in Dressrosa cover story while the manga is in Wano so when the player gets into Wano they unlock the Lola and Chiffon cover story back in Dressrosa. That way the player is still incentivized to revisit the previous islands for more content.
These are just ideas that would be some fun content for the players while not taking the focus too far away from the story. Of course, there should be missions that are incorporated into the minigames so there is some level of progression and a goal to achieve for the perfectionists. A mini-story to be exact. And while they are missions exclusive to each character, there is no reason why other Straw Hats won’t get involved with each other's missions. The reason why we need things like this is not just for the sake of content in video games. The Straw Hats, while still a pirate crew, are a family. They fight, mock and protect each other. They have certain dynamics that when they are visible to the players it can really bring in a level of familiarity and depth to the crew.
Gameplay
Since this is an open-world game, there has to be an incentive to explore the environment. This allows there to be beautiful environments that when paired with landmarks and other types of points of interest the player will be drawn to explore environments of the islands that they visit rather than doing the main missions and moving on. Characters such as Luffy, Sanji and Robin are able to fly in their own unconventional ways means that there has to be a level of verticality that’s filled with some depth. Side missions should push the players to embark on these areas that the story would otherwise avoid. A game like Genshin Impact - while flawed in certain areas really hit the mark when it came to exploration.
Most of One Piece’s combat is melee but there are some mid-range and a few long-range combat scenes. I believe that the best type of combat for One Piece already exists in another game. Once again the Yakuza series especially Yakuza Kiwami has a combat system where the main character Kiryu has multiple stances that can be utilised for many different situations. They have the rush stance which delivers very quick strikes that do not deal high burst damage but small amounts of damage over a certain period of time. They also have the beast stance which delivers slow but hard hitting strikes that can deal big bursts of damage. This can be implemented to the Straw hat pirates. For Luffy, we can see him switch between gears that each has its own pros and cons. Or for Zoro we can see him decide how many of his three swords will he use to fight and each number has its own fairly large moveset. Sanji can have a trigger function where he can switch into diable Jambe and maybe Usopp can prioritize ranged combat but occasionally bring in the Usopp hammer to switch it up. Those are just some of the examples. There also has to be a direction in the development of the game that the player is rewarded to use most of the moveset and make sure it is straightforward to execute. To continue from the Yakuza combat system - the player has to fight a set of enemies that can range from just one to a whole army. The Straw Hats are often in these types of situations and we see them use their combined strength to progress. This means that there has to be a party system that corresponds to the story or a free play mode. When we are fighting Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas we should be playing as Usopp and Chopper as a party kind of like how it is in Final Fantasy 7 remake or How it is in Genshin Impact single-player mode where the only character on the field is the playable character and the other characters in the party are on standby waiting to switch in.
There shouldn't be a requirement for the player to execute Tekken level combos just to defeat the opponent the most effective way but the player must use their skills and logic to beat enemies. This means that the enemies have to be capable of defeating us but give the player a way to beat them. A weakness. There should be more of a focus on a balance between offence and defence - if Luffy gets hit during an attack animation then Luffy should be hit out of the animation and enter a recovery phase and maybe not be invulnerable. This kind of rule shouldn’t be set in stone when we get into a moment where we are Gear 4th Luffy fighting mob enemies. Frame data that we see in fighting games should be implemented, but of course, the Straw Hats should be outputting faster attacks than the NPC’s that they fight. This is not a balanced fighting game. Devil May Cry 5 is the standard that this game should be aiming for. That game has one primary way of fighting depending on the character that you play as but there are other methods of combat that are not as fleshed out but are there to supplement the primary mode of combat just to give more freedom to the player.
One Piece has a way of writing the story into its fight scenes. Each of the Straw Hats undergoes their own mini character arc when they do their main fight for the arc. They only “win” their fight if their arc leads them to the desired state. Zoro may have lost to Mihawk in the Baratie Arc but in the end, he turned out better so while he lost the battle you can't say that this is an L on Zoro. Characters like Luffy are put through hell when they have to fight the main antagonist of the arc so that must be replicated in the combat.
Customisation
Personally, I think customisation could be quite straightforward. The Straw Hats get new clothes as they go from arc to arc so I think we can just have a clothing store where they can buy them or just reward them for completing the arc prior with the clothes they would wear for the next arc. There are even clothing brands like Doskoi Panda or Criminal that can have their own stores on each island which can have products to buy. We could even add comical clothing like what we see in other fighting games as a form of monetisation.
Conclusion
Of course, I didn't go as in-depth as I wanted to for these aspects because the post would have been too long but the point is to throw out my idea to the internet because I don’t think I’m wrong in saying that there has to be a growing number of people that are tired of the mediocre output that we have been getting. Now let's be honest, the game I’m envisioning requires a lot of money to be made. I certainly don't have the money to make a game like this but all this is a letter to the developers that Bandai Namco hires saying that what they have right now is average at best it's not what it could be. One Piece has so much potential in gaming that has gone unnoticed because people haven't given it a full-on venture in the right direction. But I know for a fact that something that I said even just one can spark a project that could be legendary.

my long review of the entire main series

WELCOME TO MY LONG ASS REVIEW OF THE YAKUZA SEIRES! This will include a shortened version of all of my thoughts and feelings towards all 8 (*note: this review will only cover the main series, so no dead souls, ishin or other spinoff's (tho I might play them in the future)) games and some of their inner aspects. So not reading all of it is completely understandable I just wanted to share them with someone but sadly none of my friends played it so i have nowhere else to do so
one them suggested posting it here and tbh i have nothing better to do so here they are
TLDR; 10/10 franchise I really like the characters, stories, music and gameplay.with that being said, HERE WE GO!
(*note: like I said these are MY opinions and MY lists, if you think otherwise, youre welcome to write it down in the comments I would love to hear your thoughts :))(*note: this review might contain spoilers, with that being said I will try to hide everything that I think might be considered a major spoiler and will put it between [ ] so if you see these be careful)(*note: this review might be a bit scattered and not understandable at times, that's because of 3 reasons: 1.english is my second language, although I like to think im at least conversational, spelling and sentence building aren’t my strong suits. 2. Like I said this is a review of all 8 games so I might scramble stuff in the middle or forget something completely. 3. I first wrote this on word and after transfering it here i noticed there are problems with the spacing and enters, so if you see a lack of space when there should be most likely there was supposed to be a shift+enter, i tried fixing it multiple times but appreantly having every enter where it should be makes it over 4000000 characters long.) So forgive me for those)(*note: if for some reason you would like to see my opinion on something that I didn’t include, you're welcome to ask me to write it :) I might not be able to answer everything but ill do my best to check the comments every so often for a while)
first of all I would like to say that my entry to the series is that a friend of mine bought me a copy of yakuza 0 for pc, little did he know, that would evolve into a crippling yakuza addiction (I bought a ps4 off another friend just to play 3-6). (*note: I know I said "none of my friends play it" that was a tiny lie, I have 1 friend who for 2 years now "is in process" to 100% yakuza 0, so I have no one to talk to about 7/8 games of the series) I came into the series thinking what I believe almost every player thinks before they start playing "oh it looks similar to gta/saints row but Japanese" but, say it with me now! "YAKUZA IS NOT JAPANESE GTA!" what I discovered is a beat'em-up, tear-jerking-story based adventure game, lucky me these are some of my favorite genres! I feel like yakuza has a very sad story not because its actually like sad sad but because kiryu is human, you see him go through life having to go through all kinds of crisis's and problems and its kinda feels like seeing a child grow? Idk, at least for me it sometimes does
now for my top 8 yakuza games (*note: the scores I give them out of 10 and their place on the top 8 might seem weird and "incorrect" because I give some games of lower place higher score then stuff of higher place. That's because when I decide their place on the top 8 I only consider how much I enjoyed it overall. when I give them a score out of 10 I try to give them what I think is a more objective score that includes everything of how fun it was, how much I liked the characters, the mechanics, the story, ect….)
(*note: if I don’t include a character in my reviews that doesn’t necessarily mean that I hate them, it just means that I generally don’t have too much to say about them. Overall I like basically all the main and side cast)
1.Yakuza kiwami 9/10
Lets start with the story,
Imma be real with ya chiefs, I have a pretty small smooth brain. That's why I like simple-semi complicated stories
And here we have a very basic story to follow, 10000000 yen missing, parent of this child missing, find them both. I love that simple, short and to the point but still interesting enough that I spent half my playthrough on the edge of my sit
This game also has the best side-quests of the entire series which are easily pocket circuit & majima everywhere
from the gameplay and mechanic side I also feel it’s the most fun and tight, nothing feels slow, every punch packs a punch and I actually really love (and prefer) the 4 fighting styles and was really sad to find out they were only in 0&kiwami. It has my favorite level up system (I will also include my top 7 level up systems later)
And now for some character reviews
Kiryu-CHAN!- he's by far my favorite character in the entire series, until now I only saw him as a brooding, badass, powerhouse that fucking breaks, shoots, and destroys (god forbid kills nothing like that here) but this was the first time I got to see that he actually has a soft side too and it’s the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen in my entire life. It was the first time I realized yakuza is one of those series that can make me sound like a kettle when I "aawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" seeing his interactions with haruka, yumi, nishiki and others was almost heart melting. Speaking of which
Majima-I have what I think is a very controversial opinion, which is I don’t like majima in 0 (and I will get to that later). So I really didn’t expect much considering I came to this series blind. And OH BOY! Majima quickly became one of my favourite characters and its really sad for me that I believe they kinda toned him down in later games. [half of my playthrough was running around looking for him and doing all of his stuff, having to fight him as a cop, zombie, idol, hostes in all sorts of different situations was one of the best things about this game]
nishiki-*ahem*,Im gonna fucking cry.
Like I said I came from 0, seeing the journey he went through from #1 jobro (which he will forever be btw) to head of a family he has no idea what to do with, to madness, to evil mastermind was one of the saddest stories of this series. Every head of the nishikiyama family after him only brought shame to his name. [every scene that contained both him and kiryu in the same room made me want to cry. From the moment he declared they are not brothers anymore to the final scene when he shot the bomb]
Haruka-B A B Y
My first thought after seeing her was "ughhhhh fuck an annoying child character to take care of, that's not what a yakuza game should have" but what ended up being is that if anything happened to her I will ̶k̶i̶l̶l̶ hit everybody in this room very hard until all their bones break and leave them unconscious with no way of calling an ambulance or any kind of help and then do that to myself only to protect her.
She is precious, and if you for some twisted, evil, disgusting reason think otherwise you are wrong
[Yumi/mizuki- when Im writing this its been like a year since I played kiwami so I don’t remember every little detail about this character (not that there's too much to remember to begin with) if anything the twist at the end was pretty surprising and her backstory is kinda sad]
[rena/shinji-they both serve kind of the same role so I don’t have too much to say on them separately. Their death (by the hands of the most annoying boss in the series) is kinda sad and like anything else relating to nishiki in this game, rena's death speech about how she always really loved him and wanted to help him in any way possible made me want to cry]
2.yakuza4 7.8/10
This game could’ve easily been an 8.5/10 but there're some stuff that just annoy me a bit and makes me have to retract from its score, let me get into it
First of all,
Although at the start the story didn’t really make sense to me and I thought it was very confusing, now after I played everything and saw how stuff connected together, I realized how amazing it actually is
From akiyama's little relationship with lily
To kiryu helping a refugee
To a laid back cop who gets in to something bigger than himself
And finally back to the actual main character of this series
initially It was very annoying when I found out I only get to play as kiryu at the end of the game but I got over it
On the gameplay side
in the overworld everyone felt really slow to me,it didn’t feel like they were running (like their animation showed) it felt like they were always at the speed of a start of a jog but you kinda get used to it so its fine overall.In the combat side of thingsI really liked how akiyama, tanimura and kiryu controlled. Fast&strong which is why I really like the combat of this series to begin with (I also found it kinda funny that swords in this game are sometimes considered "blunt objects" for some reason so when you use a heat action with them you just smack an enemies head again and again with the blade)
I will use the fact I didn’t include saejima in the list of the gameplay I like as a perfecet Segway to my character reviews
Saejima-although his story really is interesting, kinda sad and heartwarming at times I grew to not like him just because his gameplay is sooooooooooooooooo slooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I don’t know why but I also felt that he was weaker than the rest of the characters? It kinda felt like when the rest of the crew took down 10 enemies in 1 second he took 1 enemy in 10 seconds
I get that hes supposed to be a tank and he has a lot of hp but usually tanks also do lots of damage to make up for their lack of speed
Here its just a "very healthy", slow and weak tank so its just annoying to play [if anything his sister is hot]
Akiyama- his gameplay is kinda like the "brawler" of the game, similar enough to kiryu's gameplay but different (because kicks) also his personality is cool, i would categorize it kinda like a happy go lucky guy but not really
His story is interesting about this mysterious girl named lily who apparently really looks like his ex and he has a picture from his past that shows her. Anyway she asks for 100000000 yen a̶n̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶i̶m̶p̶ and because he really wants to help her, he gives her a challenge.
Tanimura- the counter option was kinda cool ig. His character is cool enough and his story about wanting to find what happened to his father is kinda sweet
I don’t have too much to say about him because he's kinda forgettable in the sense that his story was kind of an open and shut case
He was definitely one of the playable characters of the series but that's honestly the most you can say about him
If anything its kinda sad they swapped him in yakuza 5 but understandable because his story is 100% finished and he has nothing to draw him back considering he isn’t really related in any way to the rest of the cast
Date-I like him but his character rarely changes. In the rest of the series it seems the story writers forgot he quit being a detective
[yasuko/lily-seeing her story unfold was kinda sad, all she wanted for the last 25 years was to see her brother again. At least she got to that 1 last time before she did the bullet walk thing this series lovesssss to do]
One last thing about this game that really annoyed me, the game ends with a happy ending, [saejima is proven innocent, kiryu seems to return to the tojo clan and they all live happily ever after]. When I saw it I thought "oh wow, I wander how they're gonna build upon this?" well, they didn’t, like at all.
This series has 1 annoying problem that the writers team usually completely forget how the previous game ended
3.yakuza3 7.4/10on the story side-
Kiryu only wants to keep his goddamn orphanage leave him alone ffs.BUT NOPE!It’s the yakuza series so every few years it’s always the same thing: something something TOJO something something MONEY something something BROTHER something something REVENGE, oh godly kiryu san mr.dragon of dojima please help me!
The gameplay in the remastered collection stays more or less the same throughout so I don’t really have anything to say here
The characters of this story are a weird bunch
The children of the orphanage- if anything happened to any of them I will ̶k̶i̶l̶l̶ hit everybody in this room very hard until all their bones break and leave them unconscious with no way of calling an ambulance or any kind of help and then do that to myself only to protect them.
rikiya- at the start of the game I thought he was just gonna be one of those bosses that you beat thrice throughout the game and never hear from them again afterwards, what ended up happening is that I discovered just a lovable, loyal, dork of a character [and when he got shot and kiryu started crying I was almost crying with him, definitely one of the saddest deaths in the series because it’s a very unexpected one]
4.yakuza 6 8/10
HOLY SHIT MY BABY HAD A BABY but who is the father? Let's go to Hiroshima to find out! [If only yuta put on a condom]
Jokes aside this is one of the most amazing stories the series ever told
I was originally dreading playing this game because I don’t really like the dragon engine that much (that might be because I played kiwami 2 right after 0&kiwami and was just kind of overwhelmed by it although the graphics of it are amazing, the gameplay feels a lot more wonky to me, I either feel very weak or too strong (usually weak) I got used to it but I actually prefer anything else in the series)
But man did the story really bump up its place in the top 8
Nagumo- im sorry but speaking by role-serving terms rikiya is just kinda the cooler Nagumo (or technically speaking Nagumo is the worse rikiya) he's just a hot headed simp who's the captain of the hirose family but also kind of sweet in a way
If anything he has one very memorable line "yesterday's enemy is today's aniki"
Yuta-[BOI LOOKS LIKE LIVE ACTION KOICHI FROM THE DIAMOND IS UNBREAKABLE MOVIE AND MY BABY STELLED FOR HIM?!
jokes aside I see why haruka chose him, one of the best character's in the series for sure
tho the twist where he's actually the father was kind of apparent from the start]
Kiyomi- she looks like sayama's mom. Like I was 200% sure it was her for like the entirety of the first chapter she was shown in
[Also the thing in the end about kiryu saying he considered daigo as a son is stupid and forced in as hell]
5.yakuza0 7/10
(*note: I think I got a little more to say about this game then the rest cause like I mentioned it was my entry to the series so this may be a little bit of a garbled mess)
So let's start by saying, hands down it has the best overall soundtrack (*note: I will get to my top 15 songs later) consistently very high quality while the rest of the games have like 1-3 outstanding songs in them this one has: the intro, judgement, the best version of baka mitai (*note: I only discovered that the meme originated in yakuza like half-way through its life span) (*note: I saw on here some time ago that one of the top posts is a screenshot of a tweet from kiryu's VA that says he's very pleased that people are singing his song and I find that very heart warming and wholesome), 24-cinderella and so, SO many more.
Now… from the story side of things…..
Im sorry to say this but I don’t really like majima's story in this game. Out of every other playable character in this series majima's story in this game felt the most like a filler to me. The first like 4 of his chapters could've easily been skipped with nothing of value to the overall story lost. Having to switch to him every 2 chapters was very annoying. Actually It annoyed me so much that in the middle of zero I kinda just dropped the game for like half a year+ because I just didn’t feel like playing as majima [it was after the cutscene where nishiki betrays kiryu but doesn’t want to shoot him]. Tho his relation-ship with makato is easily the saddest, most tragic thing to happen throughout the entire series. But like… idk I really preferred playing as kiryu 100% of the time
On the gameplay side of things tho
Definitely one of the better, like I said I really like the fighting styles so having 8 of them (well 6 technically since I basically didn’t touch the real estate nor the cabaret) was really fun
Brawlethug-very basic, close enough to the dragon fighting style if that's what youre looking for but very boring nonetheless
Rush/breaker-rush fucking sucks, on the other hand I find breaker to be very funny and I used it most of my time playing majima
beast/slugger-beast is easily the best fighting style in the game, it’s a tiny bit slow but it gives back by being a fucking powerhouse being able to lift giant object's and using them as very fast hard hitting weapons (*ahem* *ahem* thisiswhatsaejimashould'vebeen*ahem* ahem*) on the slugger side I only switched to it when I saw that I couldn’t just style on my enemy to win and had to actually "play the video game"
now for the character's
makoto- I A M G O I N G T O F U C K I N G C R Y
nishiki- [ kiwami spoilers>>R.I.P best jobro, once again im going to fucking cry everything in this game makes me want to cry], his relationship with kiryu is easily one of the best parts of this game, from the little comments he makes about kiryu's wardrobe to [him saying he's not interested in climbing up the ranks without kiryu] everything that makes him easily the best follower in the entire series.
majima- I didn’t know what was coming so I just assumed this was kind of his character.looking back at it im kinda disappointed they didn’t try to do something else with him and instead they just kinda made him a simp to the yakuza [also it was kinda stupid to me how they didn’t find a way to bridge him into the crackhead he is in the rest of the series (they totally could've btw) instead making him just choose to "live crazier than any of 'em" (but thinking about it again honestly I feel like making majima choose to be a crackhead just because he wants to kinda fits his character)]
kuze- *insert how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man meme*
6.yakuza LAD 8/10"YOU BITCHES EVER HEARD OF PERSONA 5?"was probably the first line shouted by the director of the series in the first boardroom meetingthe story of this game follows ichiban kasuga trying to prove his loyalty and powerand goddamn smashing those goalsits kinda weird because I feel like I have nothing yet so much to say
Gameplay wisefor some reason they decided to change it to an rpg probably after the director played P5R for too long because like I indirectly said… almost everything here is persona 5,the ui, combat, life skills and so on and so forth. There are even social links for crying out loud.
this game might've been a 9/10 if only there wasnt 2 giant grind moments in the latter half of it
[specifically before the majima&saejima boss fight and kiryu boss fight]
Character review
Ichiban- I saw a meme somewhere that said ichiban is "cooler nishiki", HELL NAHthose 2 are completely different characters each with their own reasons to make me depressed. Defiantly in the top 3 protagonists of the series which goes like 1.kiryu 2.majima 3.ichiban [before i started the game i was 200% sure he was gonna die, luckly he didnt, yet]
Adachi- before I started this game and only saw the art I was 100% sure it was the guy who taught slugger to majima in 0 (the weapon maker from the noodle shop).he's not.Good follower tho
[Joon-gi han- imma be real with ya chief, I forgot he died. And until kiryu said it was a double I was sure it was the same dude, he's not, still cool tho]
[kume-LITTLE SHIT SHANKED MASATO AND DIPPED WHY DONT I GET TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM AGAIN!?]
I feel like I should have more to say about the rest of the MC's, but I got nothing. I love all of them but I don’t have anything outstanding to say.
also this game has the top 3 best girls of the series which are: 1.seong-hui 2.sumire sawa 3.saeko mukoda don’t @ me
7.yakuza5 thekomakitigerdropisbrokenasallhell/10
Once again with 4 different character's, each with their own story that finally combines into one somehow
on the gameplay side
Like I said kiryu has the best moves in this game then the entire series
The counter allowed me to cheese out enemies I couldn’t really fight. And the komaki tiger drop allowed me to delete half a bosses health bar in one hit So usually a boss would last about 2-6 tiger drops
His story revolves around just being A NORMAL GODDAMN TAXI DRIVER LEAVE HIM ALONE FOR FUCK SAKES and going through a midlife crisis
Akiyama stays mostly the same
They did fix saejima a bit but still it was a drag to play him, not only that but the entire thing where he stayed in the small village for like a full chapter was very annoying and was clearly made just to drag out his story
HOLY SHIT MY BABY IS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER, when I originally saw haruka on the splash screen when you open the game she kinda has a fighting pose so I thought that she maybe learned a thing or two while watching kiryu
NOPE, I HOPE Y'ALL LIKE RYTHEM GAMES CAUSE THAT'S ALL SHE DOES!, personally im ok at them but not that good so I played only the stuff I had to do with her
[tho the twist at the end of her story about majima being park's ex husband, MAN I DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING]
And then there's shinada....
I honestly don’t know what to think about him.
He's an ok character overall but his story seems so unrelated it kinda seems to me like they just shoved him in there because they had some problem with having only 3 character that can fight. His gameplay is fine enough but sometimes it kinda felt weaker then it should be? Idk. His normal punch and grab combo is mediocre+ - ok- nothing more than that. His staff doh allowed me to cheese enemies and getting them into an infinite loop of being knocked down again and again
Another thing I can say about this game is that the character models eyes always look on the verge of tears and it seems very funny to me that at any given moment most of the cast looks like its about to cry cause im sitting here ready to do the same
8.yakuza kiwami 2 6.9/10
Man what a disappointment.
I came to this thinking its gonna be as good as 0/kiwami and my hopes were crushed
Like I said I don’t like the dragon engine that much so moving to it after the engine of the 2 previous games felt really weird
The story of this game although very heart warming at the moment youre playing it, is quickly forgotten about and basically un-canonized in the rest of the series [at the start of yakuza 3 sayama departs to America and never returns, in yakuza 6 it is mentioned that yumi is the only woman kiryu ever loved and that he never killed anyone (although ryuji goda died by his hands)]
Don’t get me wrong its still a very good game just not as good as the rest of the yakuzas
Now for the characters
Sayama- although story wise it seemed very sudden that they started dating, it was apparent from the start that something is gonna happen between them. Once again it was a sign that yakuza is one of those series that can make me sound like a kettle when I "aawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"
Ryuji- one of if not the best villain of this series. That's because he's not actually evil but he knows there can only be one dragon so hes gonna fight for it. He actually has honor and some sense of justice. [the ending tho where sayama is crying because she finally discovered she has a brother but now he and her lover need to fight is very depressing, good thing it was all forgotten amirite? (pleasekillme)]
Now for my top 7 level up system's because this series cant ever just stick to 1
1.yakuza kiwami
It’s the only one I managed to fully complete so I might be a bit biased, but I feel like the exp/level system that is different for each fighting style is perfect. Unlike in the rest of the series where there's only the dragon fighting style that separates into body, soul, heat and tech.
2.yakuza 3
it’s very simple and doesn’t really lock out any abilities that you really need
3.yakuza 4
it locks some stuff out on the start but you can get them pretty easily
4.yakuza 5
Kinda just a worse version of 4
5.yakuza LAD
I actually like the fact every battle upgrades everything at once and I don’t really have to think about if something is better than anotherthan again you can make the case that it removes any sense of choice from the game (at least speaking in level up terms)
6.yakuza 0
Although you get like 500000 yen per basic group of enemies, I still feel that money and levels shouldn’t corelate, especially when I need hundreds of millions for some of the side-quests (*ahem* *ahem* pocket circuit *ahem* *ahem*) also, tho it makes sense canonically, I feel like the trainer system of this game specifically is kinda stupid and annoying, never really bothered with it doh considering how much beast is a powerhouse even when its only upgraded with the stuff you don’t need to unlock
7.yakuza 6 & kiwami 2
Its too separated, having all those different exp points is stupid, I always had like 2 sections that were lagging behind the rest.
I would like now to give a quick shout-out to the top 4 side-quest's in the series1.pocket circuit 10/10
I got too addicted to it both in 0 & kiwami, 95% of all my early game money was either spent/saved for pocket circuit
#pocket_circut_fighter_forever
[when I saw kiryu reminiscing on being kamurcho's fastest in kiwami's baka mitai I fucking died laughing]
2.majima everywhere 10/10
Basically doubled my playthrough's length because I always wondered what kinda whacky ass shit majima is gonna pull next. He's the best character in that game 100%
3.taxi racing 10/10
I did it all in the same game day so I like to think that in 1 night kiryu beat all the devil killers.
Shock that it reminds me of intial-d, who would've thought right? Jokes aside the car controls in this game are really fun
4.dragon kart 10/10
I would like to believe someone ran in the idea room and was like "GUYS, SO UNTIL NOW WE PLAYED PERSONA 5 100% OF THE TIME, GET THIS, WHAT IF, MARIO KART?!"and then everyone clapped
Now…
There's 1 aspect that I pretty much barely mentioned in this review and you might even be asking yourself where is it?
So without further ado
My top 15 songs from the yakuza series
Why 15? Cause that's how many songs I personally find to be fucking bops and the number of songs that I put in my playlist
(*note: don’t take it too much as if its in numerical order, I kinda tried to do it as such but that's kind of a lot of songs (the longest section in my playlist at least) and I really love all of them so it was hard to choose. Maybe try to look at it more of as a list then a top 15)
1.get over it-yakuza kiwami
It’s the only REALLY good song in this game (*note: not the only good one, the only REALLY good one)
Man that fucking guitar section in the middle, you know the one im talking about.I apologize for bringing jojo into this but I feel like if kiryu was a jojo this would easily be his theme (and that guitar section is like giorno piano)
2.destiny-yakuza 6
V I O L I Ncoming in in a VERY close second is destiny from yakuza 6I originally thought someya to be one of those bosses you just beat like 3-4 times throughout the events of the game then never hear from again and just remember him as that one asshole from that yakuza game. But MAN then this theme hits in his final fightand O O F[and right after the fight when he begs you to kill him to save kioymi, I have yet to actually cry during the events of this series but its really trying to make me do it and im 100% sure eventually I will]
3.machinegun kiss-yakuza4&5
I have a story with this song that the first couple of times that I listened to it I thought it was very mediocre, then one day I just got a vibe to listen to it 1 more time, at which point it got stuck in my head for about 3 weeks-month and it shoved its way up here.
4.judgement-yakuza 0
In case you haven’t noticed I really like buttrock
[I read a comment somewhere that said kiryu can no longer sing this after 0 because its not the same without nishiki, excuse me when I UGhhhHhHhHhhhhhhhHHhhhHHhhhHHhhHhhhhHhhhh]
5.clay doll on the cradle-yakuza 3
It has a pretty weak start but becomes really good really fast
6.comin'at ya, my girl-yakuza 5
As much as I don’t really like haruka's gameplay in 5, this is the best song in the game, sue me
  1. 24-hour cinderella-yakuza 0
Started listening to it because it’s a funny meme song
It got stuck in my head for 2 weeks
8.tears of a father-yakuza 3
When the credits hit after THAT cutscene and this song starts to play, "the father" is almost not the only one to shed tears
I only found out its called "tears of a father" while I looked it up after, and that was the point my heart had to get replaced because the previous one died
9.baka mitai-yakuza 0/kiwami/5
Do I really need to explain?
10.speed star-yakuza 4
A really pumped up default fight theme
11.intro-yakuza 0
I have a meme with some of my friends about the first 4 notes you have to hear before being able to skip it
(*TA NA, NA! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*)
12.infinite handcuffs-yakuza 4
Another pumped up normal battle theme
13.today is a diamond-yakuza 6
*insert funny kiryu thumbs up*this song seems so happy and upbeat until you realize that according to it the singer is singing it to his lover that is in a coma[kinda fitting doh]
14.Friday night-yakuza 0
Once again, started because of a meme, continued because it’s a bop
15.[majima construction anthem]-yakuza kiwami 2
All rise for our national anthem.
One of the best things to come out of this game.
Surprisingly enough there weren't any outstanding songs in lad

AND THAT'S IT!
As a little conclusion, I would like to say I would've never imagined I would be as much in to this series as I am now, definitely one of the best game series's of all time and im really sad its not popular as it should be
Overall 10/10 series
So many good memories were formed and I can 100% see myself replaying it in the future
If you actually read all of it,
Holy shit thank you I wouldn’t be able to do that myself :)
And even if you just schemed through it and only looked at specific sections,
Thank you as well
Like I said if you wanna ask me about something I didn’t already write or wanna give your own opinion on one of my opinions youre 200% welcome to do so in the comments, ill try to answer most of the stuff i see
Well, I have nothing to add, see ya!

[H] PayPal/Venmo/BTC/Steam Games Gifted [U.S.A] [W] Games (Such as: December Choice [$15.00] Outward NA/EU [$4.50] | Valkyria Chronicles 4 [$3.00] | Godfall [$30.00] | January Bundle [$13.50] Ancestors [$4.00] PC Building Sim [$3.50])

Hi all,
Due to everything going on from Humble's side, I am okay taking Steam keys, especially if you have rep.
Looking for humble gift links or keys with verified screenshots at the prices below!

HOW TO MAKE A GIFT LINK WITH HUMBLE CHOICE

On the "Choose your games" page, you click a game, scroll down and click "gift to friend" instead of "get game". Then you see the usual region lock notification about countries that receive a different game version than you do or do not receive the game, and you can pick between generating a gift link or sending the game via email. "Get game" will instantly reveal the key and NOT simply add the game to your Downloads page for this bundle.
Due to recent Humble bans, I recommend trading with labeled keys and will accept them.

REGIONS

I am from the US and expect games to be US redeemable unless otherwise specified and will cover fees on larger trades, or would prefer if we split fees!

EXTRA GAMES

Most games not listed - Will pay minimal amounts ~$0.10-$0.25 each (example: Will buy the new Humble Choice full for $15.00) - this is negotiable and I might just be missing some games.

[H] A lot. [W] Offers. Not sure I will end up gamesharing or not. Depends on the offer.

**Any off topic comments, trying to throw shade, or doing anything other than respectfully offering your games for a gameshare can, and probably will, just get you muted from the sub for a week at this point. Not in the mood for childish B.S.**
\*\*Highlights from my library\*\*: Pretty much all Ubisoft flagship titles(really only missing WD2, TD1, R6, FC primal, Valhalla, unity and revelations), all of the Yakuza games (except like a dragon), Ghosts of Tsushima, A good chunk of the soulsborne games (Chronos: Before the Ashes, Ashen, and Immortal: Unchained are pretty much the only ones I am missing), Borderlands 3, Modern Warfare (2019), The Last of Us 2, Watch Dogs Legion, and Immortals Fenyx rising.

  1. A Plague Tale: Innocence
  2. Anthem
  3. Final Fantasy VII Remake
  4. Ghost Recon Breakpoint
(I also have most of the DLC for all of the games I listed; off the top of my head I am missing BL3 year two dlc, Doom eternals DLC, World War Zs DLC, Castaway from another world (accel world vs sao expansion), any post launch non-gold edition included Division 2 DLC, expansions for the escapist 2, and I think that is about it tbh)
I will also most likely be getting the mass effect trilogy on launch as there aren't even any preorder bonuses as far as I can tell.
HMU with offers, your account does not need to be as good as mine but I am not gamesharing with someone who hasn't bought a game released in the last 5 years and/or only have 5-10 games (not including games games I already own). Gamesharing is too risky, imo, for constant short term shares hence why I want a long term who shows promise that I will not have to buy all the big releases while we share.
Tl;Dr for requirements.
  1. 18+, I don't trust the moral fortitude of children, sorry.
  2. Have more than a few games, released in the last year or two, that I don't own, and are not fighting, horror, sports, and/or racing games (This includes cyberpunk as I platinumed it already, and Cold War as I gameshared for it on Xbox One. You can include it in the offer but I will not give it high consideration.)
  3. Have no active scam reports.
  4. Be able to reply to this thread.
  5. This would be a longish-longterm gameshare (4-5 months+)

Playing through all the games from 0 to 6 (Already beat Like a Dragon) Kiwami 2?

Long post incoming so bare with me. I really liked Yakuza: Like a Dragon and decided that i wanted to see what these games were all about. The change in gameplay didn't bother me at all really, the combat still has the same spirit.
So I beat Zero and loved the story! One thing i love so much about this franchise is how serious the main story missions are, but the sidequests are all ridiculous to balance things out. I beat Yakuza:Kiwami and love it too (More than Zero actually) again the formula is the same. When you want seriousness and plot you do the main quest. When you want off the wall an silly you do the side quest. Again I love this format, you know what you're getting and you can trust the system.
Now to the heart of this post...Kiwami 2. I'll admit, I was very excited to play this one, its apparently a lot of peoples favorite of the series and as much as I enjoyed 0 & Kiwami I was eager to tackle this one. I feel like I was lied to.
I'm only on Chapter 5 of Kiwami 2 and i'm finding it so different and getting harder and harder to play. The game seems to want me to explore more than tell me where to go. This itself isn't the worst thing but gets old after a while. It seems like the main missions are wasting lots of time for no reason at all. Why do I have to walk to the bar first, then double back to grab the girl I brought, to then run back to the bar with a weird mini-game about not bumping people. The main quest line forces me to wait on a "in game clock" before unlocking the next part. Now I understand this is for side questing, but its stupid to lock me behind a time wall for no reason and just feels out of character. But again I can handle it.
Now...as i've stated above, from what the previous two games has taught me, I expect and even WANT the story missions to be important and serious. Why does this game take such a wild turn away from that formula? It feels like to me that this game is just fine sticking some silly stuff smack dab in the middle of the main story missions. I talk seriously with the Tojo clan about a war that could be brewing only to turn around and have the police lady demand Panties and Beer before pretending the phone is cutting out????
This change, if it continues this way, is jarring and makes me really really dislike it. The goofy stuff is fine, when I want it, but when I want the plot to be taken seriously the previous two games have provided that.
I know this will be a wildly unpopular opinion, I just want to know if this is what i'm signing up for by continuing this game.
TL:DR I'm playing through the games and don't know why Kiwami 2 changed the formula so much, i'm on Chapter 5, can anyone tell me if the story stops being so goofy or feel like padding?

[H] Various Games [W] Humble Choice February 2021 Games

Hello there!
It's the time of the month again. I'm looking for a few games in the Humble Choice February 2021. HMU if you bought the bundle and there are games in it you're willing to trade.
I'm generally looking for guys trading games for games, rather than those guys looking to earn some money thru trading games.
I'm also looking for PayPal/Steam wallet (Region: SEA) or CS GO/TF2 keys so I can buy the games that I want from Steam. BTC also works if you're into that.
Here are my rep pages:

My 27 in 12

I came across this sub via patientgamers. Sorry for being too wordy. Here’s my 27 in 12 in the order I played them.
1) The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Platform: Switch
Finished: Yes
I actually picked up this game during the summer of 2019 and absolutely hated it. It was such a drastic change from the previous games. Suddenly I’m micromanaging a ton of fragile weapons. No hand holding which they’ve accustomed me to since Ocarina of Time. I have to worry about Link’s temperature? And so it went on.
I generally stuck to the story path – completing whatever shrines I came across – and after the second Divine Beast I gave up.
Then I picked it up again in mid-to-late December (and beat it in 2020 so that’s why I’m counting it as a 2020 game). And holy shit, this game is a masterpiece. This second playthrough I said, “Screw the story.” I decided to just explore Hyrule at my own pace and do as many shrines as I could; if I get to an area that’s too tough, then screw it, just turn around. The auto saves and respawns are very generous. That first Lyonel near Zora’s Domain that you’re supposed to stealth around and collect arrows? “Let me save here and see how much underpowered damage I can do before I get wrecked.” And I practiced my parries and like 20 minutes later – or so it felt like it – I beat him! The lyonel is the most difficult enemy in game, in my opinion, so once you learn to take him out it opens up the world even further.
Too many things to write about this game. Masterpiece. At least a 9.5/10, lol. My GOTY.
2) Judgment
Platform: PS4
Difficulty: Hard
Finished: Yes
Another opportunity to run around Kamurocho and beat on goons? Hell yeah, I’m in! Low key I compare the Yakuza series to Call of Duty where each game is essentially the same and Yakuza recycles content like crazy. But what an amazing universe.
Two things I dislike: there’s a mechanic where you have to look around your environment and look for a clue and it’s very mobile game-ish. You’re stuck in place and you can’t progress past that until you find what you need. Fuck that noise. Secondly, I forgot what name they use in game but you can get injured in such a way that your health bar gets permanently chopped. You have to spend (sometimes) big bucks to get your full health back or see the in game doctor.
End game is crazy and I don’t know how I got through that. My #2 for 2020.
3) Rise of the Tomb Raider
Platform: PC
Finished: Yes
Lol, Geothermal Valley. If you played the 2013 reboot then this is more of the same. Game looks good, I enjoy the platforming. I suck at shooting but I managed and got through it. Overall I had a good time.
4) Shadow of the Colossus
Platform: PS4
Finished: No
I own this game on PS2 and I still have the disc but I wanted to experience it in full 1080p and 60 fps. But ultimately that camera is the worst colossus ever and I skipped the game.
5) Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds
Platform: PS4
Finished: Yes
Sheesh, I had to get with Sony tech support and figure out why I couldn’t download this. I had to beat it. (Ultimately rebuilding the database solved the issue.)
It was a little disorienting at first, I hadn’t played the game since 2018. But once I got into the groove, wow. Even though it was just the DLC it’s my #3 for the year.
6) Yakuza 3
Platform: PS4
Difficulty: Hard
Finished: Yes
Having played through Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza 5, Yakuza 0, and Yakuza Kiwami 2 – and then Judgment – I knew I had to do the whole Yakuza mainline series. But this isn’t a Kiwami. This is a straight port of the PS3 original. And it’s rough.
I believe this is their first game on what was then their new engine. It’s very rough. The game just looks off if you’re coming from the Kiwami games. The enemies block all attacks. I think sometimes they can block weapon attacks too. The game devolved to just throwing them around until they died. The bosses block hits AND break your grapples. Good luck. The first ten hours are a drag because you’re running an orphanage and being a stepdad.
But the music slaps! The side quests are generally still fun. But I wouldn’t recommend this unless you are a super hard core Yakuza fan. I probably wouldn’t want to play this game again honestly.
7) Yakuza 4
Platform: PS4
Difficulty: Hard
Finished: Yes
Big improvement over 3! Looks sharper, enemies no longer cheese their block button. You have 4 playable characters now. Kamurocho has been expanded with an underground parking lot and shopping area plus the rooftops to explore. Odd difficulty spikes here and there but the end game was laughably easy.
8) Grand Theft Auto 4
Platform: PC
Finished: Yes
I had played this one and off and never got to beat it. Thankfully Rockstar patched out that Games for Windows crap and I finally got to play it and beat it. Once you get used to driving physics it’s totally fine. The one thing that’s really off with the driving is the camera; it kind of doesn’t follow the car when you turn so you’re essentially driving blind for a bit.
The relationships thing is kind of annoying. I did them long enough to get the perks. Gun play is a little weird, gave me a little more trouble than I was expecting. Feels good to finally beat this one but now that I’ve done so I’ll probably never play this game again.
9) Cat Quest
Platform: iOS
Finished: No
Played the demo for the sequel on Switch. This was free on iOS one day so I grabbed it. As a “traditional” gamer I’m not a fan of touch controls but this game was genuinely fun. I didn’t play it all the time; it was something for when I had downtime and I needed to kill 5-20 min.
Unfortunately, my phone’s battery was on its way out so I wiped my phone before handing it to Apple and there went my progress. (I didn’t back anything up besides pulling pictures out manually.) If I had a Switch I’d buy this. It’s on Steam too but this feels like it’d be perfect for the Switch. Goes on sale all the time for like $2 and some change.
10) Grand Theft Auto 4: The Lost and Damned
Platform: PC
Finished: Yes
More GTA. Plays the same. The main character was less interesting and the antagonists were intolerable. Thankfully it was short.
11) Grand Theft Auto 4: The Ballad of Gay Tony
Platform: PC
Finished: Yes
Even MORE GTA. More light-hearted than the other two. It’s cool to see the where all the characters intersect during the main game’s story. Hated that they grade your performance for the missions, lol.
12) Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition
Platform: PC
Finished: Yes
After the GTA games I was kind of fed up with open world games but the introductory section of Sleeping Dogs gave me some cool Kowloon-in-Shenmue-2 vibes. And the Batman Arkham/Middle-Earth: Shadow of MordoSpider-Man combat (the hit Y/triangle to counter almost anything) combat is always so addictive.
The driving physics are off, all the vehicles handle weird, but overall this was a good time, and the martial arts competition thing was goofy as hell and super fun.
13) Yakuza 6
Platform: PS4
Finished: Yes
You reach a point in the game where you have to keep a baby from crying, and the developers incorporated the Dual Shock’s waggle/touch “features,” and I was so close to quitting the game. It’s not the worst Yakuza but it’s not the best. In game conversations are weird, as if Kiryu speaks one line at a time with long pauses in between. The second town is not really interesting. There’s a baseball mini-game/sidequest thing and something to do with gangs – I don’t know if you build one and it’s like an RTS or what – but I wasn’t interested.
But it’s Yakuza and the fighting is fun! Kamurocho is where all the action is.
14) Catherine Classic
Platform: PC
Finished: No
The story is really interesting and I wanted to get into it and see where it went. Unfortunately, the gameplay requires actual skill and I wasn’t ready to invest time into getting good. I’m trying to work through my backlog. I’ll probably return to this but not this year or next. So it’s looking like a 2023 game at the earliest.
15) Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time
Platform: DS* (emulated on a 3DS)
Finished: Yes
This is basically a copy paste job of the first game. But somehow worse. I never really liked the art style for this series and the music in this game is worse than the first. I always wanted to check this out but I’ll never play this game ever again.
16) Super Paper Mario
Platform: Wii* (emulated on PC)
Finished: Yes
I kind of want to like it. Fundamentally there’s nothing wrong with it. It plays fine. But I don’t like the art, the combination of the flat paper characters and the 3D world. I think the original N64 did a better job with the paper theme. The main town is lame. It’s the only town. And the game for me peaked at chapter 4-4. This is another one I’ll never play again.
Maybe I’m just a traditionist and the first two games are the only real Paper Mario games.
17) South Park: The Stick of Truth
Platform: PC
Finished: Yes
Holy shit … this is an interactive South Park episode! With the traditional Paper Mario mechanics. And it’s so absurd. I haven’t even watched a South Park episode in what feels like a decade. Masterpiece, lol. This is either my #4 game of the year or it’s tied for #3.
18) Dust: An Elysian Tale
Platform: PC
Finished: No
After so many open world games I wanted to start working on my Metroidvanias and this game honestly seemed like the least interesting. I on and off put three weeks into it but I couldn’t get past that awful art. Listen, I’m sorry if you’re into it but it just looked like generic furry art to me. And it just didn’t mesh well with the voice acting either. I’m not 100% sure but I think the game also wanted me to grind for money.
I might revisit this in the future but this is looking like it’s at least a late 2022 title.
19) Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – Director’s Cut
Platform: PC
Finished: No?
It’s listed as a Metroidvania on Steam but jumping between background layers isn’t a Metroidvania mechanic for me. I got stuck a couple of times, funny enough, and had to look up how to get past whatever I was stuck on.
I eventually made it to the final boss but I couldn’t be bothered to get the pattern down and called it quits. I might revisit this one too if I’m in a better place mentally but it wasn’t doing anything for me anyway. I don’t know.
20) Paper Mario
Platform: N64/PC* (emulated)
Finished: No
I was trying to get my sister to play something that’s easy and doesn’t require fast reflexes to get her mind off of the lockdown. I was using a save slot to keep pace with her in case she got stuck. But my N64 has a funny issue where it randomly resets. One too many resets later and it was a wrap.
21) Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Platform: GBA* (emulated on PC)
Finished: No
Solid Metroidvania. I was emulating it on an old PC I was given. I wiped the PC because it was full of old junk data and ran slow as hell. I don’t care enough to make backups so I lost the progress.
22) Day of the Tentacle: Remastered
Platform: PS4
Finished: Yes
This was one of the free game for the month. I remember point and click games being super obtuse and wanted to see how far I’d get as an adult before I hit a wall. And I got far enough into the game that I was legitimately having a good time. I did eventually get stuck, and got stuck multiple times, and had to rely on a guide, but overall this was a lot of fun. I’d love to replay this again.
23) Gone Home
Platform: PS4
Finished: Yes
Jesus Christ, what a creepy house. I remember reading an article where the developer was pleading for people to not be scared and play it, it wasn’t a horror game. But damn it, that shit is creepy. There’s an option to turn all the lights on, lol.
Overall good story, good walking simulator.
24) Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture
Platform: PS4
Finished: No
Another walking simulator, except you’re walking pretty damn slow in a small village. Not doing that.
25) Burly Men At Sea
Platform: PS4
Finished: Yes?
It’s an interactive story? Are there multiple endings? I got an ending and left it at that.
26) Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
Platform: PC
Finished: No
A good looking game with some crazy sound design, pun not intended at first. The voices stressed me out to the point where it was starting to feel like a horror game. The fighting was simple but strangely fun and satisfying. I beat the second boss.
But I was having trouble with Forza and ended up completely wiping my computer and reinstalling everything. My save is probably on Steam’s cloud but I’ll end up starting from the beginning most likely.
27) Vampyr
Platform: PS4
Finished: Yes
I had completely forgotten about this game; all I knew it was a vampire RPG and I thought I was playing Vampire: The Masquerade, lol. This game is rough. Load times take forever, it runs at like 20 fps, everything is super clunky/janky.
But what a universe, if that’s the word. The same way Yakuza does an amazing job of placing you in Kamurocho, this game placed me in 1918(?) London. Except the Spanish flu is around so everyone is locked inside and there isn’t shit to do because it’s not like there are side activities. This version of London is a dump, lol.
And the characters! You can choose to drink the blood of the NPCs for XP. By conversing with them and unlocking their secrets you can get more XP out of them. However, the NPCs were so genuinely interesting that I was just trying to unlock their secrets to get to know them. I actually did a “pacifist” run (in the sense that I didn’t kill the NPCs) but I’ll be replaying this again and killing everyone.
As rough and janky as this game was it’s my #5 for 2020.
In conclusion, thank you for coming to my TED Talk. If you have any questions post em below and I'll do an OK job to answer them.
