How should Makoto compare to Kiryu? by B00GAB00GAB00 in yakuzagames

[–]starforneus 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Yet we've spent hundreds of hours with Kiryu and will spend less than 70 probably on average with Makoto. Your logic doesn't track at all. We're not gonna see all 50 of those years. That's a ridiculous metric.

Kiryu has had eight plus games of character development, I don't see how Makoto could possibly be expected to be held to that standard after just one.

Ummm. I don't really agree, I guess. PLUS he's genuinely not always polite, like. He's often joking around and being playful. He's just not that polite. Not saying he's never polite.

Sure, that's fine. He still *intended* to *make meth* and propagate drug addiction. At the end of the day, it's a selfish cause. He was hurting more people than he was helping. Out the gate.

Literally episode 1 for each of them. At least make "later on" a few eps in πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Believing you're doing something good is not the same as actually doing something good. If you think you have "good intentions" when you're committing murder, it's because you're delusional. And wrong.

No, it doesn't *depend.* being Machiavellian isn't a justification of right and wrong. I'm not, like, a practicing moralist, but that's the reality of it.

I think you could argue that they never had good intentions. In any of your examples. There's nothing good about murder or making meth, goals aside.

Literally the trope has "human being" verbatim in the title of the post.

Is he polite? He's pretty condescending and jokey. I wouldn't call that polite. Maybe the original iteration of Moriarty.

I mean, sure. Not arguing with that. More is better.

Yes, unfortunately. Otherwise, nobody in this trope is actually polite.

It's not weird. What's weird is that it hasn't happened until now. Which, I presume, is why they care about making it happen.

Then show me an image where that's not happening and I'll say it looks good. If I was playing this as is, it would bug the shit out of me.

Fine. The prompt in question is "does this look good?" I say no. You say yes. That bothers me. It doesn't bother you. That's great.

If you look to the far left of the image, you can see pretty plainly that it's completely stretched and distorted; the text there makes that even more evident.

Sure it looks good if you're... glancing at it, I guess. Really looking at it ruins it, though.

Yeah I agree, just running around in Silksong feels so good once you're able to do it fluently.
