It's the same as Yakuza 1. Positive!
The main intro is very long and does have you slapping some lady. It's even longer if you choose to review the plot of the first game. Kazuma Kiryu is still badass and polite. Haruka gets sent away in the opening scene so (with luck) you won't see her ever again.
The atmosphere is fucking fantastic as expected. I find myself eating and drinking as much as possible because they use real brands and they provide interesting (har har) flavor text about each item as you consume it. I think the only reason this is appealing is that the brands are ones I'm not familiar with and it feels like a tiny travelogue? If I lived in Japan then I'm sure these descriptions would seem like the crassest of commercialism, like if EA were to fill Godfather Part 2 with tons of descriptions about how Pizza Hut uses only the finest meats and cheeses. OH WELL it works anyway.
The first game was unforgiving when it came to side quests - there's a lot of things where if you miss them then there's no going back. Based on that I am making sure to take my time and talk to everyone in town as often as I can. I'm sure to miss some, still. =( |
