Murphiroth 02/26/22 2:01:43 PM #20:	Cabaret Club in 0 is a blast and I'm shocked Sega hasn't made it into a mobile game with gacha elements for your hostesses. The combat may get stale, that happens for some folks. Personally for me it didn't but I like the fact that it's basically just a modern beat 'em up.

I remember thinking Kiwami 1 had really annoying bosses, and Yakuza 3 is a bit rough until you learn Komaki Parry, but I didn't find the ones I've played so far (0-3) all that challenging. Maybe in the early game when you don't have as many options, but these games are really good at rewarding you for doing side content and making you feel powerful the more you level up and the more techniques you learn.

This definitely does happen haha. I had 390 attack at the end of Kiwami 2 and it made the final boss a total joke. Most no damage videos I see for Kiwami 2 the player will intentionally do it with low attack so the boss will actually have a fighting chance.

I've seen some videos of the Yukuza series and it seems like they basically have Marvel movie type "humor" ("humor" that's fucking stupid and unfunny) on steroids. That's a big turn off for me that's why I haven't played a game in the series yet </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've seen some videos of the Yukuza series and it seems like they basically have Marvel movie type "humor" ("humor" that's fucking stupid and unfunny) on steroids. There's a pretty sharp distinction between the main plot, which is taken very seriously, and substories, which are generally goofy nonsense.

That's a big turn off for me that's why I haven't played a game in the series yet The main storyline is always really serious and has a bunch of twists. Its the sub plots that have batshit crazy and ridiculous stuff happening in them but the sub plots are the best parts of these games imo.

Also I'm not sure what Marvel humor BigBoss is referring to.
