I can't wait to 2030 for the Yakuza 5 retrospective

People usually site Yakuza 3 as when the series starts to embrace its silly side, but I just love the idea of Yakuza 2 needing to be completed in 10 months, employees are stressed and working in unorthodox circumstances to make sure the finished product turns out well, only for one guy to hit the fattest blunt and be all like, "Sir, permission to include a substory where Kiryu fights a bunch of men dressed as babies?" and his superior is all like, "Jenkins, you're a genius!"

Easily the hypest drop of the year on KZfaq. and now, unlike when i watched the last video, i’ve played every single Yakuza

IMO, Terada felt obligated to follow the Jingweon's revenge plot as a member, but he also held gratitude to Kazama. He didn't feel he could betray both loyalties. It's why the last bomb (representing the life of Kurahashi/Terada himself) is a dud, it's a dead bomb because it's to represent a spared life. This was the only way he could personally feel like he fulfilled both duties.

My one fear of playing the older Yakuza games: missable substories

The games just get stronger as they go on. Even 3 being the “black sheep” has a lot of the spirit of the series with the games after topping one another.

That "filth around the character" effect you mentioned might be caused by Ambient Occlusion or Depth of Field. Which turned on together also clash, causing gaps in the DOF effect around people's hair.

"Welcome to the sixth video of my Yakuza Retrospective, today we are covering Yakuza 5" (Video Length 11:48:34)

One part in the story that bugged me the most was Daigo’s arc. In his last scene, he was hyped up as the new leader with an all out war going out. However, we never see the fight ensue in favor of Kiryu just one manning the Omi Alliance similar to the climax of the first game. I know the in universe explanation has the Dojima Family were in another area but it would’ve been nice to see a war between gangs in a brief scene.

Even when knowing about it in advance, seeing Roblox Kiryu just appear with zero mention sidelined me like nothing else

If you think I'm going to set aside everything to watch an almost 3 hour retrospective on yakuza 2 then you're absolutely correct

Can we talk about how fucking good the editing is in this? There's a lot of really creative choices in here and they're so damn good (that tiger punch for example was amazing)

I am currently at the tail end of becoming a 3D graphics specialist, and the speech about old games being art hit me hard. The reason I want to become a 3D artist is because I want to make games and give people the same experiences I had as a kid, To a point I went back and played some of my old favorites on my old ps2 to try to understand what made those games so special to me.

1:25:38 This is the most brutal NPC knock-over I've ever seen in one of these games

1:23:09 Uh, no, Kawara wasn't wrong. Watch the cutscene again. The one Kawara was aiming at was the fake Kazuki. It's extremely clear in the Kiwami version, as it does a wide-shot right after the fake Kazuki shoots the real Kazuki and Kawara (not saying the original doesn't do this, I just haven't played it and so wouldn't know). It's taken from an above view, and you see that he's right in front of Kawara, who was aiming at him, with the real Kazuki on his left, across from Date.

Heres a fun fact: dragon engine was made for ps4 and was capped at 30 fps, however on xbox and pc, they had the fantastic idea of uncapping the frame rates which is why the physics fuck up so much

To me, my favorite part in this review is the part where Cvit talks about preserving the original experience at 1:48:24. The part about how he critisizes the "It's old so why should we play it?" mentality is something I don't like as someone who doesn't like the phrase "This game/this thing in the game aged badly" like the former statement, it makes people not give older games a chance. Like people didn't suddenly came to the conclusion bad cameras, weird controls or really cryptic games were a problem after people figured out how to do them properly, if they aren't good now they weren't good back then. Because if that wasn't the case "Takeshi's Challenge" would've been considered a fine game when it got first released.

"Kiryu being a Sigma Males" "Kiryu not having any if that shit" "Kiryu not letting anyone disrespect women in his presence" Every comment you make about this man is fantastic

I love how you find the running theme of each characters story in this game. Even for characters as minor as the florists kid. And each yakuza story is definitely saying something about fatherhood and how broad of a role it can be. I can’t wait till you tackle 6 since it’s so overt with its messaging of the affect fatherhood can have on the next generation. Great work man you’re scripts are getting better and better. Can’t wait to come back and watch this video again in a couple months

Yakuza 2 was the game that got me into the series, such an amazing game. But, yeah, fuck that mahjong story. I am half Japanese and my grandfather loves mahjong, I had him teach it to me just so I could finish that section. After I told him I still couldn't beat it he tried it and quit in anger since it cheats so much. I didn't beat that story until years later when I just brute forced it by playing over and over and over again for hours.

2:27:05 nobody brings up the fact that kiryu got up so fast from anger that his fucking chair just flies off so fast it basically vanishes. You can see the chair violently fly off when kiryu gets up.

It's almost definitely because I played Kiwami 2 before I played the original 2, but I do not have nearly the same level of animosity you have towards it. I never had any struggle with the level system and found the combat to be probably my 4th favorite behind lost judgment, 0, and 5. the ragdolls are also amazing to me cause it really makes me feel like the superhuman gorilla i'm playing as. I can agree with the visual and detail complaints for sure, though.

Paralleling your passion to preserve the old games and understanding the meaning behind tattoos got me good. PS2 era was special to me too.

It's interesting that you brought up the face model change for the detective as a negative, because I actually thought the complete opposite. I think the new face, resembling his actor conveys his chatacter so much better. Plus, something about the original face just doesn't sit right with me. I definitely think the new one in Kiwami 2 is a much better fit overall.

I really liked getting closure on Makoto. Since I started at Yakuza 0 I really, really liked their relationship and was a little disappointed to see that after the events of Zero, Majima just does a complete 180 in personality with no remorse for his previous emotions

I just finished Kiwami 2. I got into the series late considering Like a Dragon was my first Yakuza game! Seeing the differences between the original and the remake opened my eyes on how much unnecessary change it had. My only disagreement is that I enjoyed Clan Creator and the Cabaret club mini games! I also enjoyed the Majima saga. It was cool playing him in the game, I just wish we had more content with him! Either way! I liked your video! I'm starting Yakuza 3 this weekend! I hope I can beat it before your next video comes out so I can compare different thoughts!

Heavily disagree with some of your points, but understand where you are coming from. Although I will agree that the Dragon Engine is...not preferable. Still, glad you were able to complete the retrospective and look forward to whatever comes next.

This must've taken a long ass time. Can't wait for Yakuza 3 in 8 years' time.

these vids are like waiting for the next installment of movie series. I really like these super in depths take on games you love. I wish these vids got more attention honestly they are the best content you make.

Putting "It has to be this way" under the final fight game me chills man. Such a brilliant Idea and very fitting

I managed to finish 2 and 3 before this video, I'll probably finish the rest before the 3 retrospective, such great videos keep it up

Can't believe that this is so underrated. You're absolutely killing it with these long form retrospectives, gives me life. I pray that this video blows up eventually. Thank you for every bit of effort that went into making this video.

2:39:21-2:41:14 Favorite editing montage here. Simply amazing work, dude. This is such an informative and entertaining video on both Yakuza 2 games. I had no idea they'd be so different. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, Cvit!

Heavy disagree with most of the things you had to say about the majima parts of the story

absolutely fantastic timing, ready for this and thank you for your hard work.

Thank you for putting in the absolutely mammoth amount of effort to script, record and edit this whole thing. I can already tell I'm going to enjoy this immensely.

Just gonna say I love the hostess story and mini game in this one as well as the Majima story and the massage scene. Y0 was my first game in the series so I absolutely appreciated all the connections to it in Kiwami 2

Honey wake up Cvit's Yakuza 2 retrospective is out Also Yakuza 2 is one of my favorite in the series along with Ryuji being my favorite villain in the series

Those edits with the Koji Shindo Katana fight was Godlike! Much Respect. You got me wanting to play Revengance again.

Duuuuuude so hyped to see this. Your Kiwami 1 episode is what got me into the series

One thing I think is interesting in my opinion is that even though he is a Dragon, he is still somewhat of a Koi Fish, and it is up to him if he will ascend to be the Dragon he is or fall down the waterfall.

It's been a bit since I've played kiwami 2 but I personally never got bothered by the combat. To be fair I don't like using throws so it probably didn't affect me as much as it may have for you

Stellar video, covered basically everything about one of my all time favorite games! And I really appreciated not just defaulting to Kiwami 2, but pointing out the strengths of the original. K2 did a lot of cool stuff, for sure, but I've always felt that the things that are missing from the original (the city area, some music in scenes, the combat engine) were HUGE strengths in the game, and notable points that put it at the top of the series' list for me. Music in two huge scenes and the end itself especially so. So much stuff adds up to that good, heavy vibe that is stronger in the original for me. I feel so validated now! hahaha But anyway! Great work, loved the vid, recommending it to people!

Fantastic video! Thank you for putting this together, it really was a blast to watch. I think you pretty much summed up all the reasons I loved Yakuza 2/Kiwami 2 when I first played it and this game (It's a tricky tossup between this one and Yakuza 6 for me) stands as a series favourite for me and one of my all-time personal favourites. Eagerly anticipating Yakuza 3's video, best of luck on that one!

I adore this series, and adore these videos. Glad this is for real this time. Can't wait to dive into this one.

Just finished OG 2 myself tonight…man I’m surprised at just how much of an improvement it is over the first game…and how it has more unique content even compared to Kiwami 2. Both games are definitely worth their time and since I’m going by chronological order…Yakuza 3’s next for me. I’ll probably finish the games before Cvit gets to at least 4’s retrospective. But these videos are an absolute treat, so I’ll be patient. [Edit 07/19/2022: The amount of SUDA and Atlus music I noticed in the background makes me love this video even more than the first video. It’s an amazing and based touch. Also, for the Cabaret Club, at least it’s good for making money quick…that’s the only reason why I binged it all other than for completion-sake.]

What a perfect video, this was rad, the quote at the end broke me and brought back every drop of love I have for this series

I am so happy this video dropped. I love this game series an unfathomable amount, and these videos are the absolute epitome of KZfaq content imo. Thank you Cvit

There's a couple of musical cues in the original that are lost in the Kiwami remakes too. Shindo's intro has a unique musical cue, which becomes the basis for his fight theme. Jo Amon also shares this fight theme. The song is called "The Grudge", which fits both of their character arcs perfectly. Ryuji's fight theme has the same motif as the song "Id" from Yakuza 1, which is used when fighting Omi members. This bridges that plot point about Ryuji being behind the events of Yakuza 1. We're not quite there yet, but the Kamurocho fight theme "Push Me Under Water" also has a lot of motifs in common with Yakuza 3's Kamurocho fight theme "Bruise". Also, it's worth pointing out that between story encounters and substory fights, the player most likely won't hear the excellent "Outlaw's Lullaby" until chapter 4, despite first showing up in Sotenbori in chapter 2. I thought that was a cool level of restraint for is one of the best fight songs in the whole series. Finally, it's not quite a musical cue, but Yakuza 1 and 2 both do this thing where it's always dark and rainy when talking about Sohei Dojima's death. When he's mentioned by name, lightning strikes like the gunshot that killed him. We see this in the scene where Yayoi confronts Kiryu in Yakuza 1, and we see it in the first scene with Daigo in 2.

I love Yakuza 6 and everything you said about its mechanics and leveling up system are correct. The combat can be fun if you accept it for what it is (very limited).

Appreciate the hard work on these Yakuza Retrospectives. They've given me context/newfound appreciation on the game. Looking forward to 3 whenever it comes out.

I absolutely love the editing, btw, great stuff and really kept the comedy fresh throughout the vid

It's ironic that you say Yakuza _is_ Sega, because Sega themselves have(/had) pretty strong ties to the real life yakuza. In the book _"The Untold Story of Japanese Video Game Developers, vol. 2",_ John Szczepaniak interviewed a man (who himself was a former yakuza iirc) whose sister was kidnapped by Sega. Szczepaniak asked, "Could this interview cause problems for you?" to which he responds, "I might get murdered by Sega. [...] And if Sega doesn't kill me, I'll lose my livelihood, so make sure this story is an anonymous interview."

I ended up playing the original Yakuza 1 and 2 a while back. Yakuza 2 was a great experience that K2 just didn't emulate properly, but I can't find a single major reason to play Yakuza 1 over K1 unless you like the goofy voice acting. Sure there are minor reasons like a better soundtrack and a better ambience but I don't think those are deciding factors Also I completely disagree with you with a lot of your takes on the Majima Saga. Your claim that no one asked or cared about this story is just untrue. Look up most videos on the majima saga and they are a mixture of hype and admiration of the short story. I was there in the Yakuza discord when it was announced and it was the same story. I have watched many different youtubers and twitch streamers play the Majima Saga and at the very least the casual ones had a good time playing it and enjoying the story. So your idea that no one cared about the Majima Saga is either you being mistaken or being disingenous just because you personally didn't like it.

Man been waiting for this massive video since the first one dropped lmao. Smashed all expectations. Can't wait to see what you do next!

Your videogame retrospectives are soo good. Keep up the good work cvit!

What a fantastic video. I started to tear up a bit when hearing why it was so important for Yakuza 2 to get localized even when they knew it probably wasn't going to sell well This series is such a gem

I have waited so long for this video...and I absolutely loved it the entire time. It may just be because I like MGR songs in everything but still. Every aspect you talked about with the story and just the games is by far the greatest part of the entire video.

MAN I love these Yakuza retrospective videos of yours. I love the way it transcends being just a review and you instead choose to cover way more topics, whether they're relevant to the game or not. It makes up so many good talking points, such as the preservation of games. Tl;dr, subscribed.

Honestly, these videos are always just so great. I can't wait for the Yakuza 3 video because I still think it's the most underrated game in the franchise and should be given more health by the community

I feel like the "preserving the original experience" segment is a bit too preachy. It really started to sound like you were saying that if someone cares, but not as much as you then that's somehow a bad thing. I'm going to make this as short as I can: --There's nothing wrong with playing and enjoying old games more. --There's nothing wrong with playing and enjoying modern games more. --Remakes and remasters have their place. They aren't inherently better or worse than the original and preferring either the new or old version is not wrong. And desiring remakes or remasters isn't wrong. --Having both the original and updated versions available is ideal. --I also want way more older games to be preserved officially (you can find them unofficially very easily and it's not like you can buy them officially anyways, so it's a fair solution). --There is a limit where even I think that a service having every game ever released without resorting to emulation is lunacy. --Emulation is not at all a less correct way to preserve and play older games than having official hardware and software. --People shit on older games, but understand that others also shit on newer games for equally baseless I get what you mean, but you made it sound like your view is the minimum it takes to prove that you care about preserving older games. That old games should stay as they are. Shouldn't get remasters or remakes regardless of if the original is readily available or. Criticizing that original games are not 'preserved' as perfectly as they should be even though that's an impossible task when you take out emulation and filters. Getting a CRT to game on is cool, I've done that, but that's on the individual and has nothing to do with general preservation. Tying that into remakes and remasters being somehow wrong or unjustified does baffle me as well. When the Spyro remake trilogy released I started by playing the originals for the first time before hopping into the remakes so that I could judge how they updated the games myself. I loved both versions. I prefer the remakes because I think it looks better. It's flawed, but so is the original. It's not to the same degree, because it's nowhere near as old, but I feel like the same is true for the Dead Space remake. I would agree that it's not as necessary as something like Spyro for obvious reasons, but they aren't completely dissimilar. while Dead Space isn't nearly as old as Spyro, the remake didn't simply upres textures and call it a day. They added details, content, gave Isaac a voice, and foreshadowed Dead Space 2. You can say it's pointless to remake it, but I'd have to question why? when is it worth remaking? Maybe the people working on it just really wanted to and that is the main motivation, is it wrong then? Maybe they want to drum up interest and have a similar situation to the Crash series (Crash 4 is best Crash) happen here? I see nothing wrong with Dead Space's remake and if there is you need to explain it. Because as it is you make it sound like an elitist saying that it's wrong for a game to exist outside of it's original state outside of maybe the absolute worst games. I don't think that there's one way to play a game. Preserving them is great, but everything outside of that is a completely different topic. With Spyro you can play it easily enough, so the existence of it's remake is not negative in any way. I do think that the original two Yakuza games should be easily available. It's doubtful that it would run exactly as it would on a PS2 to a T, like you want it to, but it should be there. You say that the originals are the superior way to experience the games, but I feel like that's almost a joke. With the second, maybe, but the first? The first has so many flaws that even with Kiwami's issues I'd never say that it's better and questioning why someone wouldn't want to deal with the game when the terrible combat is most of it doesn't make sense. It does start to sound like nostalgia is the deciding factor. You think it's unreasonable to say that, but you also seem to think that pure preservation beats any remaster or remake hands down. If it's extremely faithful then it's pointless, but if it's not then it's an insult. What about Metroid Prime remaster? I don't know, I see nothing wrong with wanting to play a game in higher quality. To be clear, Yakuza 1 and 2 both have their charm and quality (not so much 1, but still), I'm not saying they should be erased or that they are worse than Kiwami 1 or 2. I'm really just saying that this is all subjective and at the end of the day there is value is remaking and remastering something. Ideally it would be done well, clearly Kiwami 1 and 2 weren't ideal. Though I wouldn't say that someone wanting Duke Nukem to be remade in Unreal 5 is literally how the entirety of remakes exist, where they are all equally as undesired. Duke in Unreal 5 would be cool just for the tech, not really the game, but that's not how it always is. Some people just want to play a game that they like or are interested in without being hard to look at. I like older games and think that more people should play them because why not. But if someone complains about the PS1's dumb texture wiggling I'd never say they are wrong. There's a strange charm to it, but it doesn't make the games better by being there. This is a long rant of me just being confused at what exactly your point was other than that the truly original experience is the best and that games should be preserved, but it an annoyingly preachy and somewhat insulting way. I agreed with preserving games in general and that old games are still fun, but that's it. You saying it's stupid to want a Kiwami 3 doesn't help. The only reason why I'd agree is because they probably wouldn't do it justice, but if they did a good job on it then yeah, why not? Again, it comes across as elitist. Despite how long that segment was, I still don't quite know how exactly you feel on something that is more complicated than you let on. If it was just a few seconds or a minute that would be one thing, but it was like 10 minutes.

Tremendous video! And wholeheartidly agree with the preserving the old experience. Looking forward to the next part :D

That "Preserving the Original Experience" section was fantastic I also like the music choice throughout

I've been chipping away at this video for the past couple weeks. It's a really solid analysis that showed me some stuff I didn't know about with how the original games were for both this and your review of 1. I'm currently playing 3 since I got the remastered collection physically for 20 bucks, so I can't wait for your next retrospective. Really glad you stressed the part where its okay if some people only want to play the Kiwamis, I have a feeling many would initially perceive you as hating everything about them and coming off as an elitist/purist. And the memes here are great, especially the MGR music over the Ryuji fight. Oh yeah, and the Kronii cameo was great. Very cultured.

I am kind of curious if I would view things differently if I had played the original Y2 first instead of Kiwami, because I love the music in the Kiwami 2 stab scene and I find the original jarring. I'm wondering if that's because K2 was my first experience or if maybe it just comes down purely to musical taste, possibly a mixture of both.

Awesome video! I only recently finished Kiwami 2, but never played the original 2. The PS2 looks so good, even for a late PS2 game the visuals and art direction hold up so well! The Crazy Ken Band song fits so much better with the Kiryu getting stabbed scene, I knew about the song but the fact it has been used in Yakuza 2 is even more awesome

Subscribed. Not just for the dope ass content, but the fact that Cvit is a fellow Hajime no Ippo fan

51:43 In Daigo's defense, he was drunk out of his mind when he fought Kiryu.

34:46 Actually, that wasn’t a mistranslation. Before the RGG team gave Kiryu and the other playable characters the strict “no killing” rule, Kiryu had looser morals and was originally meant to kill his enemies in the first game, including Lau Ka Long before Yakuza 3 brought him back. In fact, before they decided to bring back Majima due to his popularity, he was originally intended to die in his story boss fight at the Shangri-La soapland in Yakuza 1. And the Tojo Clan HQ meeting room being more empty in comparison to the meeting room in Yakuza 1 isn’t because Kiryu hospitalised most of the Tojo Clan Families but because he killed them.

Hey I really appreciate you going through the old games in a retrospective, I got into the franchise because I used to work at an arcade and a regular customer that was a huge yakuza fan told me to try out the games and to start with Zero since it makes the most sense and the Kiwami remakes go with the game, so that's where I started the games, I played Kiwami last year and a few days ago I finished kiwami 2 and I absolutely love these games, I wanted to see the difference between the old and the new games and it is why I watched both your yakuza 1 and 2 retrospective and now I have a bigger appreciation for these games, your videos made me want to play the old versions and I will be doing that as soon as I finish with the whole series as a whole because I want to see how it all wraps up. if it wasn't for these videos I would of not considered playing the old games any sooner so thank you again

You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this retrospective man. Very excited to finally watch!

Kiryu: Doesn't kill people. Also Kiryu: Shooting people with live ammo in Rainbow 6 Siege.

Your first video got me hooked on the series and my initial plan was to play each Yakuza is a game with each release you would do on KZfaq. But I ended up beat all of the mainline games expect like a dragon.

Great video dude, really glad you stuck around with it. Can't wait for the next one!

Oh yesss! Been waiting for this, great work man! Imma enjoy every second of this

I think the scripting on this video could’ve been significantly more thoughtful on how it communicated its intentions. I can’t even imagine the difficulty of making a video like this, so I’m not saying that I would do a better job or anything silly like that. It’s just that the thing that stuck with me from the video is the part way you say something like “despite what it may seem like, I think Kiwami 2 is a good game albeit worse than the original” and all I could think was “why didn’t he just make that clear in the video proper.” And I definitely don’t think that was the point.

The theme of fatherhood is showed a lot in yakuza 3 and 5 in 3 kiryu runs a whole orphanage to take care of the kids and would want the best for them in yakuza 5 he changes his own name and background to keep the kids safe because he knows that him being there would bring harm to the kids and leaves in the shadows support them from somewhere else just that they could be safe because he knows his enemies would do anything to get to kiryu

Glad to see the vid drop, and man do i respect that feeling of wanting to keep games accessible but also make it so people can go back and experience the original's whole experience. You sir are truly an underrated person on this platform.

I have been waiting for this video. There is no way it can disappoint! Wow, I’m halfway though this video and the tangent about video games and preservation really opened my mind. I need to find games that could revamp my entire world. Thank you so much for this video, it has become one of my favorite videos to experience.

God, these are so fucking good. It's a long way off but I can't wait for the Yakuza 5 video.

Thank you finally someone likes yakuza 3, I've been playing for the first time and so far its great.

Unbelievable how much work you put into this, great vid.

What a fucking masterpiece of a video. Genuinely some of the most fun time I've spent into watching a video in such along time. Outstanding job Civit :)

An alternative to Filterless that I think is pretty good is Skirish's mod to make Kiryu look like Y0 Kiryu. It comes with Filters that you can separate manually from the rest of the mod that looks better than the game's default filters. I would definitely recommend looking into it.

Japan had these old fluorescent lamps that coated everything in this sickly green hue, while it looks bad it's definetly accurate for the time period

Great video. Seriously, this might be my favorite video essay on this platform.

Yo man, really respect the sheer effort and passion behind these videos. This is by FAR my favorite series, and it feels great to find someone who shares the same passion, flaws and all Keep it up dude

Oh boy! Looks like the finishing of these retrospectives is not getting done anytime soon as we now have Ishin kiwami, Yakuza 8, and of course the Joiryu origins!

This coming from the person that fell off of the series because I couldn't even play the original two games. I am genuinely glad for the Kiwami games. Both of the original two games have crashed repeatedly on PS2 which is why I was grateful for the Kiwami games when they came out on Xbox. I personally think that you harp up on the downsides of the Kiwamis a little too much. I respect how you feel about preserving and trying out the original games but do keep in mind that there are people that enjoy the Kiwamis changes and all.

I'm actually doing a replay of the original Y2 right now so this came in at the right time lol. Love the work you've put into this, gonna need to watch this a few more times but I look forward to more stuff!

Just watched 1 & 2 after playing Yakuza 0, Kiwami 1 & 2. Great videos, only the end of Yakuza Kiwami 2 was such a whiplash that I was wondering if I made a mistake or didn't do a necessary substory for a good ending... The videos are great and I'm going to keep watching them everytime I finished one of the games or every time I put the game away for a bit to long (happened with Kiwami 2 unfortunately). So please keep the video series going and thank you so much! ALSO LOVED THE EDITING ESPECIALLY IN THE BOSS FIGHT! WAY TO GOOD!

I played both Japan imports (kensan and inshin) with a guide and it was super worth it. The PS3 game was my favorite yakuza game.

Honestly when I was playing Kiwami and Kiwami 2, while I appreciated them as they were, I couldn't help shake the feeling I'd enjoy the original versions better. Once I catch up and play Yakuza 6, I might honestly go back and find a PS2 + a copy of Yakuza 1/2 and playing it. Those games look super fun.

This was amazing man great work!

just to say this is by far the best yakuza review video I've watched. The editing is just spectacular and the points you make are valid.

That old games side rant is one of the best things I’ve heard on KZfaq.

Cabaret club mini game is a full game in itself, i spent more time on it than on the game itself. I regret nothing

Great video i will say after you made your first Yakuza video i really want to play the games so i did now i played kiwami 1 and 2 idk if they realse the orginal in Norway but just going to say i LOVE the Yakuza Series its great so thank you Cvit for introduce me to this game series can`t wait for the 3 video and keep up the good work.

Thank you for the video I loved it, I'm happy and proud of you that you were able to finish making the video. I'm looking forward to whatever you plan to make a video on next

I appreciate the effort you put in Kiwami 2 by modding the game many times. Yes, Sango Amon's AI did broke on you which is a rare bug to find. What he usually does is a rocket storm which completely destroys you.
