Between this and hiring known sexual harasser Teruyuki Kagawa, I think this is the first time I’m not even considering playing a Yakuza kiryu-slam

    I didn’t know how they were going to excuse having Kagawa in the game, but “actually, we cast the sex pest on purpose” was not on my list of excuses for sure.

    Both the director’s cut of 0 (possibly one of the most inane uses of the term “director’s cut” ever, Toshihiro Nagoshi was the director and he’s not even at Sega anymore) and Kiwami 3 have plot changes to the extent that would make George Lucas blush, I don’t get the obsession with the Daidoji tbh.

      The Daidoji as a concept should’ve been introduced and ended with 6. It quickly became such a dogshit plot device in nearly every game since.

      You can pinpoint the exact moment in this franchise that Nagoshi left lmao
