i like when he says dame dame it was really awesome :)
Yakuza 0 is an outstanding game, it's no masterpiece but it was truly an enjoyable time. This game's been on my mind ever since I finished it and I just want to articulate my mostly spoiler free thoughts on it because god it was so good.
For context this whole playthrough was supposed to be one whole joke, my friend let me play this game on his PC because we thought it'd be funny. At first I wasn't at all interested in finishing the game, admittedly Kiryu's first few chapters weren't really all that gripping, don't get me wrong it was fun but it didn't seem like something I'd finish.
But then I got to Majima.... from the moment he was introduced I was immediately hooked. His first chapters were really fun to follow and I got immediately attached to his character and the story. After that I was hooked all the way to the end, I wanted to see where the story was headed after that.
Admittedly there were some massive tonal shifts in the story, switching from one character to another was fun but it was really weird going from Majima's dark story to goofballing with Kiryu and Nishiki. And one time after a hard hitting cutscene with Kiryu, I was greeted with a side quest that I forgot to finish (it was really funny).
But that's only one part of the story, because what really made 0 so memorable for me were the side quests, surprisingly a lot of effort were put it shows. These were funny as fuck and even really wholesome at times. The minigames were also a huge timewaster for me. I've sunk in so many hours in shit like disco, the phone minigame, karaoke (especially karaoke), real estate and the cabaret club that I feel bad taking all those hours from my friend LOL. The reason I didn't finish Majima's cabaret club was I realized I was already nearing 60 hours and I still had like 6 more chapters in the game LMAO (my friend had to learn how to hex edit just so I can use the 4th style).
The combat was really fun to play around with as well, it doesn't have the same mechanical depth as something like Devil May Cry and it really doesn't need to. Just going crazy with all of Majima's styles (especially the 4th one) and wrecking shit with Kiryu's beast mode was already pretty satisfying, the fact that the game gives you so much cash to upgrade your abilities just gave me more incentive to sink this much time into fighting random thugs in the street (just like japan fr).
This game is such an easy recommendation to people who love games with an intriguing story and fun side content, so if you're one of those people I suggest giving this game a shot you won't regret it :D
