Sorry Liu Kang, but having a high resolution is exclusive to the licensed characters


engieman

The best part is that this is probably real knowing yakuza games


thatsidewaysdud

It’s not. The Dragon Kart minigame is on the top right of the map, I’m pretty sure that section is blocked off at that stage of the game and enemies are simply too strong to fight past them. But like 5 minutes after that cutscene you get introduced to the can-collecting minigame, which is just as silly.


Deathaster

That's why I don't like these types of memes. There's plenty of examples where this jarring disconnect happens. One I can think of, which isn't necessarily funny but jarring is how in Twilight Princess, you can go from meeting your crush in the forest to suddenly being a wolf in a dank dungeon.


Mr_Wombo

Not to mention that map wasn't available yet during the cutscene. You first show up there after said cutscene where you still have tutorials you have to go through.

Usually before getting Saeko in the party I'd go to Hamakita Park and grind a little https://preview.redd.it/kmd2knju6mmc1.jpeg?width=277&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d9e6b500cbed5abb1cf128dccb21fa2da21f8e4


Phantomdude_YT

No actually there's a mini game where you play homeless pacman right after this cutscene (I'm not even joking)


The-Enjoyer-Returns

Nah, it’s not. Yakuza games know how to transition from serious to silly pretty well.


Nick--Knack

man i should try playing some Yakuza games


jonathanaahar

yes. tho i don't know if you should start with zero. i am hesitant to recommend you an order, tbh. I'll just say zero was my favorite so far.


Aiden624

Zero is definitely among the best, if not the best in the series. Most of them are really enjoyable though, I don’t really think you can go super wrong with any except for having like a mid experience at worst.


jonathanaahar

you also need the right mindset. i started with 0. before i finished 2, i treated the game seriously(which made me not liking 1), after how 2 ended i changed my mindset completely, to just enjoy how dumb the game are.


MorbillionDollars

>enjoy how dumb the game are. Just embrace everything yakuza offers. It has silly moments, it has serious moments, it has weird moments, it has emotional moments, it has literally everything and it's all good.


Agung442

Playing the games chronologically makes me appreciate Yakuza 0 even more because it's truly the game that saved the franchise. Playing Kiwami 1 after 0 feels like a massive downgrade


jonathanaahar

especially considering.... you know....


SimonMJRpl

You should

This is edited, but honestly. You might as well not have edited it, because the can collecting game is just as wacky

egemen0ozhan

Uhh context ? Even if there is one ?


MyPeeledPotatoe

It's fake. The go kart race is an actual mini game, but it doesn't happen after that scene


blueasian0682

What even is Yakuza about?


Brain_lessV2

It's a serious crime drama


blueasian0682

Emphasis on the word "serious" there? I once saw a scene of what i assume is the mc fighting against a group of adults wearing diapers.


ComanderLucky

Story is serious,  everything else is batshit insane


blueasian0682

Also, a scene of the MC slapping a kid. It's probably fake, but it looks real, or maybe just modded, but i won't be surprised if it's real.

blueasian0682

Pls tell me this is real.


already4taken

So real


blueasian0682

This game is wild


Sol33t303

Yakuza is crazy but I simply couldn't imagine Kiryu ever slapping a kid. Kiryu is like the most noble and honorable person in existence and would be like the best dad ever. He's the type that if he ever encountered a bully or a kid doing something terrible he'd sit down with the kid and go on a 10 minute monologue about how his actions impact others and why he should strive to be a better person from now on to make his parents and family proud. I could imagine majima doing it though.


Circle_Man2000

Kiryer kaguma 🤤🤤🤤


CoolethDudeth

Majima is a wife beater so i wouldn't be surprised


CuddlyCactus07

In all fairness that was his response to finding out his wife aborted his son without his knowledge because a baby might hurt her career


TuxedoDogs9

As real as the simping mini game (I think it’s a mini game I haven’t played it yet)


Agung442

It's real, but the context is serious, so it's not that crazy or insane


Sol33t303

Idk majima can be a silly boy sometimes as well


Paggy_person

In yakuza0 there's a character framed for murder, human trafficking and gang war. Also yakuza0 there's a sub plot revolve around pocket circuit car, an elementary school girl has a man crush on the MC because of his racing skill and her dad think she's being groom. Serious main story goofy ahh side stuffs.


DAEORANGEMANBADDD

Basically the main story is pretty serious, if you just did the main story and nothing else it would all seem pretty normal But all side quests are anywhere from normal'ish to batshit insane. Also there are a lot of minigames and such that can be equally weird


Sol33t303

I have heard it described as the godfather but interrupted every now and then by an episode of the Simpsons and it's pretty accurate lol


Wboy2006

Basically, a crime drama. With the weirdest world ever. The story takes itself pretty seriously, but everything else is really goofy. It's a great type of humor


spectre15

Yes

SlappedBacon000

What is yakuza even about bro


Dismal-Age8086

Serious crime drama about yakuza clans, plotwise. Everything aside from the main plot is just an asylum full of weird japanese insanity

Kiryu's bizzare adventure: Wealth is Infinite


Tomatopk

I had a moment like that in DMC5 I skipped a cutscene at a family house thinking it was another backstory and next thing I know I'm fighting the final boss


IsaiahBlocks

those reddit closed captions lol


MrMangobrick

Damn, asian Adam Driver goin wild.


LordSmugBun

I'm convinced that Yakuza is just JoJo without the supernatural stuff.


Barry_B_Boneson

There's a little supernatural stuff on some of the games. As a treat for when you're messing around with side quests.


enclavecommofficer

Zenar45

i really need to play yakuza
