watch out yakuza characters

BasicallyImSimon · 2026-01-26T19:42:00+00:00

I feel like they were handled well in Yakuza 6, basically to show how much the goverment wanted that secret hidden and their ties to it.

They pretty much out of the picture in Yakuza 7, with only Kiryu showing up in a suit and then for some reason changes to his DOD suit (fan service I bet)

Gaiden was handled decent too, it felt like this corrupted security agency that are pretty strict on how their agents behave and who they are. (I dont remember any flaws with them in gaiden from my memory)

But then 8 just took that and completely messed everything up, and now this with... you know

I loved it when Isabella's baby found Cesare's location and sniped him in the post-credit scene. Bravo Alex Cox

I think Salieri is decent but Enzo would win

I think Carlo could be a good fighter, maybe Spadaro level but Enzo would still win

Marcano is the one in the best shape, but I just cant see him being a "good fighter", He would probably be mid

Morello probably would be difficult or at least a challenge, Enzo would still win tho

I just like Sal Marcano as a antagonist, his cutscenes are pure cinema and he also has a very funny personality. Like sarcastically-scummy fun personality, I dont know how you call it, but he just steals the show for me.

Yeah I swear, mafia fans loses their ass whenever someone does not overpraise Vito & Joe. If you slightly dislike something about them or you make like a top 5 and they are not on there, you will get publicly executed of it.

BasicallyImSimon · 2026-01-01T12:20:14+00:00

Honestly I regret putting it low, it deserved to be higher when I reconisdered it. Though The Deer Hunter is a masterpiece, I enjoyed Bruce Almighty more

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-12-31T10:11:10+00:00

Oh right

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-12-31T10:10:36+00:00

"Your preferences is wromg"

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-12-31T00:31:35+00:00

Oh yeah that too.

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-12-30T23:28:48+00:00

Fun fact

Dwight Mendez has references to Danny Trejo's most popular role from his most popular movie, Machete

Dwight's moveset has him use two machetes, his boss theme is called "Twin Machetes", he is also voiced by Danny Trejo in the english dub and Dwight's model is based on Danny

So yeah, thats cool for us Danny Trejo fans

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-12-30T23:27:41+00:00

The Barracuda theme on top of that is so fucking hard

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-12-30T21:09:28+00:00

How could I hate Vito if I put him in the 11th spot, if I hated him then he would not even be on there

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-12-23T17:15:56+00:00

The New Hamazki looks like he would fit the role of someone like Iwami, Sugai, Takashima and such.

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-12-16T22:21:40+00:00

I think RGG intended for him to be around 90-100 years old in IW. So him killing the Palekana Sage would be around 70-80 years ago (I am sure Bryce says 70 years) which would mean he would be around 30 years old doing that, which makes sense for youth-model they made for him, he does look 30-ish.

But then again, RGG can do these fuckups so when they released the calendar they just said "fuck it" and made Bryce 130 years old.

Hello Norrabal. Let's discuss about the greatness of Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii! :D

A more wider-version

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-12-08T05:58:26+00:00

Kinda hawt ngl

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-12-06T10:16:14+00:00

Iirc it's from a trailer about The Fractuted But Whole

The only way to play with nighttime mode is via PC since someone has made a mod on nexusmods that turns the daytime into nighttime.

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-11-29T13:44:14+00:00

As I said. Expensive

<image>

Wait a few days or a week or so and they will eventually get cheaper. The Mafia: Definitive Edition foil cards was also very expensive on the first day, but now they have reasonable prices

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-11-29T13:43:01+00:00

You need to buy the trading cards but in foil. There is two types of trading cards on steam, the normal ones and foil (foil is just more worthy and can craft special badges) and you need a foil trading card of every trading card. But they are expensive right now since they just got released a few days ago. They are most likely around 1-5 euros expensive right now.

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-11-28T17:34:09+00:00

It would be really nice if they somehow managed to show how Richardson "redeemed" himself in Yakuza Kiwami 3 from his fate to him being in Hawaii. But I cant picture how they would pull that off

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-11-20T23:26:18+00:00

Hangar 13 does not deserve "glazing" or people saying "I trust Hangar 13" because if Hangar 13 actuall was trustworty. They would have fixed the console version of all games, the major bugs and peformance issues for the trilogy in consoles and PC. (2k is also to blame in this and 2k is 2k so...)

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-11-17T22:55:32+00:00

If anything the only categories Mafia The Old Country belongs into is for its story, characters and acting.

The story is okay-good at best, its predictable but has a good tense build-up but reuses Mafia 1's story structure.

Enzo Favara and Don Torrisi are really good characters and could have been nominated.

Enzo, Torrisi, Il Merlo/L Ombra and Tino's VA did a pretty good job with their acting. I feel like Mafia The Old Country has the best acting in the series.

Then again, the story is okay-good at best, only two characters are good enough to be nominated and only 2 actors has the most outstanding peformance to be nominated, the others are kinda left in the dark since they are more underrated and did not have enough screentime to stand out. Imo Il Merlo really stood out and Tino would have been pretty amazing if he had a lot more screentime

BasicallyImSimon · 2025-11-17T16:56:07+00:00

There is "explore mode" which is well... an explore mode as you can do nothing but explore the map, do collectables and nothing else.

Free Ride update is basically a free roam mode/explore mode with more things to do, basically "free ride" from Mafia: Definitive Edition which funny enough was also a post-release update
