a quick tip from me: if you get stabbed, don't pull the knife

[@tambettammisto7423]

Yeah this is just what i was thinking... Why did kiryu pull the knife? Is it acceptable to pull the knife if it is poisoned?

[@wemt0014]

@@tambettammisto7423 I don't think so, once a poisoned enters your blood stream there's no point. That's why it's not a great idea to try to suck the blood from snake bites, better to just get an antidote then risk bleeding to death. Believe it or not the knife is "holding" the blood in and keeping the wound closed.

[@Toasted_Toodler]

Kieyu has been shot 1000 tines and he cant apparently handle a stab wound

[@ogjoepat]

Im not an expert. But I think that the knife will drive itself deeper as he moves around. It would be fine if he lies down and does nothing, but if he's gonna move around, then its better to pull out the knife and prevent it from moving deeper into the organs.

[@MalphasMikaelson]

I need new Yakuza games to start adding weather. There's no reason for a game with such a small map compared to open world games not have a proper day and night cycle and weather system. Rain often enhances games to me.

[@obscurereference2359]

The Yakuza games usually don't do that because they use the weather and time of day as part of the story, so if it changed randomly it would be kinda jarring. They focus more on detail than size or features

[@MalphasMikaelson]

@@obscurereference2359 They've rarely used weather as part of the story, lets be honest. In all their games it has barely rained for the story. Also I never understood that logic, Spider-Man fanboys say the same for their game. But the story part plays a cutscene. If it's never raining in the game and suddenly rain happens in the cutscene why can't it simply be raining before the cutscene in the game as well? There's no real logic behind not having it. When it's raining in Yakuza 4 it has nothing to do with story or anything it's simply raining. They just have to add it for specific parts because they are too lazy to add a weather cycle.

Man I love this cutscene so much. Everything about it is so perfect. Kiryu's emotions, his thoughts, the rain and the damn ost playing in the background. The song makes this scene absolutely amazing.

my only complaint here is the stabbing sfx, because the whole premise of this scene is kiryu unexpectedly getting stabbed. The original's still better imo but this one's also good except for the stabbing sfx.

[@MariusBoss11458]

If someone had to tell me what's the worst thing in the Yakuza Series. it's this sound effect.

[@dimactavicus]

@@MariusBoss11458 Yeah, i can't see a reason why they had to make the stabbing so obvious, even the guy's hands can be seen thrusting into Kiryu's abdomen. Song is a 50/50 for me, the old one is simply too good, it's moody, gloomy, and i legitimately went kinda emotional the first time i saw this scene on the old PS2 version. New one just feels like it's filled with irony, i guess that could've worked, but not as well as the old one.

The part at the end that starts playing as he's pulling the knife out is great, but they also screwed up the stabbing by adding in a super obvious "Stab" sound effect, when it was much more ambiguous in the original until the camera panned down, which fit Kiryu's initial confusion at the guy not taking the can back.

[@RWxAshley]

I'm so glad the licensed music restoration patch exist for Kiwami 2. The awful knife sfx giving it away so soon, the music fitting more a teenager upset they can't go to the concert, the song just being so off for the tone of the scene itself. It doesn't fit the crime drama atmosphere the game has gone for up to this point, and Its so out of left field with the music from the rest of the game. It doesn't even fit the music Sotenbori has during random encounters. Its what I imagine someone listening to Spotify while playing the games with the volume turned down would happen to be listening to. Not the actual score for the game. The original PS2 release was so much better, and the fan made patch for Kiwami 2. You can tell this was an issue with Sega not wanting to pay the licensing fees for the original PS2 version's songs. I'm really glad fans put in the time to fix this, but I'm also glad you documented this cause I wouldn't have appreciated the work the mod put in without seeing the original scene.
