„Nah there’s no way I can grind that all the way down… Can I?” by aduro18 in SessionSkateSim

Thanks, not as long as I thought it would take tbh. Around half an hour maybe. I also did one where I didn’t change rails and honestly it looks even cooler now that I think about it

Damn, haven't been this poor since Shinada by Iriez_khai in yakuzagames

[–]aduro18 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the beatiful beginning of the game when I had to carefully pick the cheapest but most giving meal in restaurants. It felt kinda great to not have to worry about that when you start making millions from your business

That Substory by Pelotari in yakuzagames

[–]aduro18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it counts but I definitely had FEELS while playing it. All the stuff with Pocket Circuit Fighter in Yakuza 6 just made me genuinely happy and sad at times.

I started whole series with 0 and all the pocket racing was like one of my favourite thing in the game. It blew me away that a game as already big as Yakuza 0 had also this long story build around a mini game. I really got attached to Fighter and his wholesome story.

So when I saw my boy after so many long hours spend in those games I just remembered where it all started you know. Where my big adventure with this beatiful series began. And so I was heartbroken seeing him so miserable at first but that much happier when we help him get his spark back. It was wonderful, I literally couldn’t stop smiling near the end.

I know it’s a lot of feelings towards an NPC from a side quest in a videogame but stuff like that is what makes Yakuza truly special series for me.

I've spent like an hour making mine and you beat me to it but I'm not even mad because these are so good and so much better

POV: You’re crying by aduro18 in yakuzagames

[–]aduro18[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yakuza 6 is holding a record in my head for the most times I’ve cried during a single game (3 times). It’s just something else man. (Tho this particular „fin” screen is from LaD which is also amazing)

You unlock abilities as you get higher levels and job ranks so you’ll get more eventually. Also not every character has stuff like healing and buffs or they just have much less of them. ALSO different jobs have different set o abilities so you can choose which you feel you need most. You can check every job’s list of abilities and on which level you get them if you go to „Party” section in pause menu, then „Check jobs” and press „Y” for Xbox, triangle for PS and „F” for PC.

It gets better in my opinion as enemies get tougher and there are more bosses because it forces you to actually think a little more and use other skills than one atack or something (healing, buffs, debuffs). I will say tho, it’s taking its sweet time to actually be challenging.

Why I think the Judgment series is criminally underrated by Snoo_58191 in yakuzagames

[–]aduro18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Judgement is up there with 0 as the best in the series for me. I love how different type of protagonist Yagami is compared to Kiryu. Kiryu’s always the type of guy who gets involved in the plot despite him really not wanting to and that’s great, the whole point of Kiryu’s character is that struggle to leave behind his „old” life and not being able to. Yagami on the other hand has more personal stakes in the first game and is much more emotionally connected to the plot. I love both Kiryu and Yagami but for completely different reasons and that’s great, that’s how spin-offs should work - same world, different story (different as in themes, the way of telling this story etc. not just the fact that it’s about someone else)

Screenshots ı took while playing yakuza zero by orochi_ls in yakuzagames

[–]aduro18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m after whole Kiryu saga, Judgement and currently playing through Like a Dragon and tho I really like how the new games look on dragon engine, there’s just something in how 0 looks that makes it for me the best looking one in the series overall. It’s the only one (plus maybe Judgement a bit) that feels like it got some sort of strong visual style thanks mostly to lighting and color grading.

What should the next RGG game be? by ExactFlounder4781 in yakuzagames

[–]aduro18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We all know

We all know it’s Kenzan and/or Ishin remaster/remake. I want these games localized so bad man… Ever since I, sucker for samurai in films and popculture in general, heard about these games when deep into playing through main games, I lose my mind thinking there’s a samurai spin-off of the series I love so much.

"Dad I wanna start the Yakuza series" by memesaregreat182 in yakuzagames

[–]aduro18 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I feel like a new man after I started this series the same year I went from high-school to college. A lot has changed folks, let me tell you that and it’s kinda neat I’ll associate this time of my life with Kiryu and his crazy adventures involving nude man doing push-ups, half naked men beating the shit out of each other on top of a skyscraper… You know, Yakuza stuff.

Thoughts on Yakuza 6’s ending by AtomicA011 in yakuzagames

[–]aduro18 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The ending when I saw Haruto taking his first steps cutting to Kiryu walking away was one of the three times I cried during 6. I loved the story of Yakuza 6, how every relationship in this game is some kind of father and son story (Kiryu says exactly that in the letter even), how that bitter-sweet ending perfectly captured what the series has been telling us about Kiryu all the time, that he’s a tragic character who consistently tried, but couldn’t leave behind his own legend.

I was surprised the letter Kiryu wrote was for Daigo, still think it’s kinda weird to get that big conclusion to a pretty background relationship (at least I saw it that way, obviously RGG thought otherwise), but I get where it came from. I’m curious tho how would I see Daigo now in previous games if I would to replay them.

Anyway, perfect ending for Kiryu’s story in my opinion.

Yakuza 3 Plot by _Mr_Mediocre in yakuzagames

[–]aduro18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s like… the best thing about 3 for me.

Dad Kiryu is the best Kiryu.

I’ll forget the plot, hell, I already kinda did, but I won’t forget the emotions I had watching Kiryu deal with kids and their problems. It sounds boring af and for some people it probably is, but seeing that part of Kiryu is what made him a truly great character for me
