I think you nailed the appeal of Yakuza in your writing, and for that I applaud you, sir. You've done justice to my favorite video game series and I'm so glad you are enjoying what I consider its weakest entry gameplay and mechanics wise so much. 

You're gonna want a strat guide for that hostess minigame or to just not bother with it. Some of those outfit combos make no sense and it'll get frustrating without a guide after a while.

Have you found the Mahjong parlor yet?

She's actually a huge part of 2 and it's a bummer how they wrote her off. 

That was Yakuza 0, which is set in the 80s, though a lot of those arcades return in later entries. 

If you ever get into emulating again, I don't think it'll knock your socks off, but you might understand why some mid 90s kids like myself and (at that time maybe pre-teen or teen) older brother could play it for a while. 

It really was cool to be able to do "stunts" while you raced. 

I saw and I commented as Joe Gisoioni, having no idea who that is. Is it a real person? Prove it by sending me his credit card information, email, phone number, social security card and any picture ID you may have of him. Not until all of this is done will I believe he is real. 

I'm fairly certain we rented it and the isometric graphics and racing mechanics were solid (probably mind blowing to little me tbh). Plus, the tracks on the SNES version are based on actual mainstream rock songs. I forgot about the Lost Vikings character unlock. 

Hope you get the review copy! I actually didn't realize all those were made by Blizzard. 

Glad I could help. 

See, but again, those reviews took more effort than copying and pasting some game boxes, finding some humorous or obvious theme between them and slapping a vs in between said covers. 

Yeah, but you had a whole theme and real commentary on a heap of games, so by comparison in terms of effort, I still ... win? I'm not sure how this works. 

Thank you. daftman seemed less amused ... but was he?

I mean ... it turned out to be a really fun game, though. My older brother owned it on SNES and reading the stuff about Pixar Cary mentioned honestly makes me mad.
