Ugh, leave that PS2 localization forgotten in the past.

there's also this one, just perfect :
This makes me smile so much
I've heard a bit about that game but it was made to be pretty inclusive right? I think what makes kiryu good is that it comes from a unlikely place.

Losing to them is a victory in itself
Yeah, it's terrible. I haven't gone back to it since it was released, but watching clips compared to Kiwami it's like they stripped out half of the dialogue and replaced it with gratuitous swearing. Everyone behaves out of character and even Kiryu doesn't come off as at all likeable.
Also Xbox.
I played all the games available on Gamepass and loved them so much I ended up buying them all. Preordered a PS5 and proceed to preorder all the Yakuza games I missed
They definitely tried to capitlizae on the "mature content" in a really cheesy way. It's been years since I played it though, and I didn't remember it having ableist shit like that, having Mark Hamil ham it up doesn't outweigh that causticness.
there's also this one, just perfect :
Is that Yakuza 3? I don't remember this dialogue. Is it from the new localization?
the original Yakuza 3 on PS3 got a lot of cut content for the west, and sadly this was one of the sidequest that got cut... you probably can guess why... "can't have trans talk in a videogame in 2007, it's a game for men!"... at least that's what i'm assuming, there's no other reason for them to cut this one
This quest was in the original in japan, and the collection translated everything that was missing thankfully
Okay. Where did you get this jacket?Kiryu is rad. I bought this jacket so I may better channel his energy.

I have something to say about the games now that I played a little more of Kiwami 2.
There was a substory that involved human trafficking/rape and the way it was handled made me feel uncomfortable.
Ok, Kiryu punched everyone and it makes the player feel good but it's not enough.
The kidnappers don't face justice and not for a single moment the game discussed how this is very common in the Yakuza world (prostitution in general).
I feel like I finally understand why some people don't like the "Yakuza" side of the game, even if Kiryu keeps saying he isn't Yakuza.
