Finished the story mode of Yakuza 6. Just wow. Th setup’s were cool and the villians just pissed me the fuck off near the end. I felt like a kid watching the heel promo’s in WWF and was heated like a motherfucker, haha! Excelletn game all around, and the Yakuza 7 business kinda bummed me in the sense that
Summary
Kiryu makes a comeback. I understand money’s on the line when games are being made, but Sega is usually bold on this type of thing when starting something new for better and worse, so it’s a bummer they buckled. I still chalk it up to needing to ease people into 7 with all its changes.
Maybe 8 will be the total change they wanted to go with 7?
End Spoilers
Summary
I was not ready. The ending where Kiryu is reading what was written. Man, that hit hard. I saw the themes in the game, but having it worded with the visual montages and the contents of the letter just Tiger Dropped my heart. Tsuyoshi Furuta and Masayoshi Yokoyama are the writers for Yak 6 and deserve name recognition for it. Good stuff 
They almost got me with Kiyomi too. I figured she wasn’t killed when Koshimizu turned the camera off at the same time the gun went off. Then when Kiryu came down on him HARD. The credits started rolling and I was like “…uhhh…holy shit…”
Iwami Tsuneo was Dio Brando levels of evil and really drived the emotion to Tiger Dropping his ass, especially in this new engine were they enemies go FLYING when hit with it. An awesome villain and that really was a piece of shit, but just as dangerous.
Beat Takeshi was awesome in this and I enjoyed the four uncle’s in this. Onomichi is awesome. Now it’s back to finishing the Kiryu Clan missions and hostess missions. I was going to unlock all the karaoke songs before moving on to the next title, but that didn’t work out, just like doing ALL this side missions didn’t either, haha.
Still have 6 more side missions in the baseball sub-story to finish, and I want to take the new spear gun out for a spin in the ocean.
I still have ‘clean-up’ in the other Yakuza games and still have yet to do any of the secret boss fights in any of the games. With that said, I’m still looking hoping and looking forward to the samurai and kurohyo games to be localized, as well as Yakuza 7. Still have Judgment and Fist of the North Star to finish up as well.
I’m pretty content with all these beat 'em ups and don’t need any others. I could stop with this series and be happy but there’s still Kunio-kun/River City games and the new SoR coming out. I’ll take my time getting to those since I’m in super-hype mode for Studio RGG.
