Now that the yakuza have gone into hiding, Japan's police face a new enemy in the form of the "tokuryu" — quasi-gangsters who thrive on anonymity and a lack of structure. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/05/06/japan/crime-legal/tokuryu-explainer/

The bear. I've been training for this.

If you're looking to 100% Yakuza 5, here are some tips! I spent a lot of time putting them together, so I hope you find them useful.

  1. Quit

And here is another one! I love going for 100% in these games, it's honestly kind of relaxing and fun! For the most part. Every game has some BS minigame that takes way too long, but it never feels impossible. This was one of the easier ones so far.

Another Yakuza 100% done! 0 was definitely harder than Kiwami, but Kiwami had more tedium in it. Thank God for Tiger Drop. On to Kiwami 2! Which shouldn't take too long, the only minigame I left incomplete back in 2019 was mahjong.

Done.

I don't really like what they did gameplay wise after Yakuza 6, but it was definitely a fun experience.

The story though was great as always. I cried like a little baby in the last cutscene and just want to hug Kiryu now.

Kind of curious how his story continues as it should've ended with Yakuza 6. And Like a Dragon Gaiden. And I guess in Infinite Wealth this will also be the theme…

I love Kiryu and I love to spend more time with him. But please Ryū Ga Gotoku Studios let Kiryu rest. Let him find peace and of all let him back to where he belongs.

And now: The final chapter of . Looking forward to see how the Kiryu saga ends again. 😅 (Still mad after finishing Yakuza 6, that they brought him back. He had his ending. Let him rest.)

Aller ! Je me lance vraiment dans Yakuza Kiwami 2. C'est fou le gap technique entre Kiwami 1 et le 2. On sent le Dragon Engine à l'œuvre. Les combats sont plus chouettes aussi niveau sensation.

Done…

If I would have played this game when it was released, I would be probably completely broken right now.

What an awesome game. What an awesome finale of the Kiryu storyline. I'm so glad I've played these games.
