The guys be like, "I play Yakuza for the gritty depiction of organized crime", and then spend 12 hours giving women makeovers in the cabaret club minigame.

Everything I hear about the Yakuza games make me want to play them.

I highly recommend Yakuza 0. It's an origin story prequel for the series and personally I think it has by far the best storyline. It also has the caberet club minigame!

Odd question, but how much of it (and the newer games) are fully voiced? That was the main thing that turned me off playing them was how much of the content was just reading popup boxes of text.

IIRC, Zero had the most voicelines from the first 6 games.

It's an amazing experience, I wish I could play it for the first time again.

I think I might have that one!

I'll second the Yakuza 0 recommendation. Lot of nice cathartic emotional gut punches :o

They're pretty great.

I spent 40 hours in the Mahjong parlor, waiting for my businesses to drop off their monthly profits so I could invest it again. It is an accurate depiction of being a crime boss, dammit!

How did you learn to play Mahjong?

I lost my money on the fights... and some on billiard. I just wanted to beat Erika.

I'm just optimizing stats dad! I swear to God. I'm not playing dress up!
