The Yakuza moments of all time

[@thephantomtrickster]

Yakuza is the simultaneously the most serious game series out there and the most stupid game series out there and I love it for that

[@althelor]

That is genuinely the entire reason I love these games. I've only played the first kiwami and haven't beaten it yet. But everything I have seen is so dramatic and serious, but mixed with such stupid and silly stuff that is played completely straight. It is such a weird mix, and I absolutely love it so much.

[@arianhosainy5493]

How I've seen the Yakuza games described and I 100% agree with it is the Godfather with episodes of the Simpsons sprinkled in.

[@Johnnyupside]

It's metal gear solid all over again. Serious plot combine with wacky characters and plot lines

[@scarymeunster9095]

If Shintaro Kazama was anything like him, then it’s no wonder he walloped the shit outta Kiryu and Nishiki as teens. We see in some Online stories that Kiryu could still beat up grown men in _middle school._ He was at least decently strong even then.

The thing that proves just how good Yakuza is is the fact that it can have both very serious, very heavy dramatic moments, and also very wacky, borderline cartoonish humor moments in the same game, and somehow neither of them disrupt the mood of the other whatsoever. Making those co-exist so seamlessly is not possible outside of a real masterpiece.
