Both things can be true the show’s low scores can be because it has legitimate flaws or can also have those same low scores because of people who know nothing else in life but to be petty self absorbed assholes.

@zeltrax225 said in Yakuza.:

Because that's the problem? Sure, he's not the Mario to Mario games or the Link to Zelda game but he is THE most prominent character and the instant association when you think about the Yakuza series.

I mean Yakuza has a number of other characters who are just as iconic as Kiryu but either underutilized or barely used at all some of them are even still alive. But the guy that’s been in the most games and whose death has been teased twice in series needs more exposure.

By that logic, Mario is overexposed too.

Well sure if you ignore the fact that the key difference between Kiryu & Mario is that Mario’s series & games are named after him. That and as far as I know the Mario games have never tried to officially write the character off.

..And then decided not to stick with the heart of the decision. Why do you think that? Is it because, Kiryu, with 7 (9 if you count remakes) games under his belt, still has a story to write for

As I said before someone on the dev. team likely didn’t like the ending of 6 or is simply a Kiryu fan as otherwise I can’t really figure out the decision to being Kiryu back. Anything and Everything they could’ve did with his character has been done to various degrees of success.

Finding Romance? Did that with 2 and fucked it up with 3.

Covering his early days in the Tojo? Covered that in 0.

His history with Majima? Covered that in 0 too and didn’t have them officially meet each other til the end credits

His non Yakuza life?….covered in 3,4,5, & 6.

Literally the only thing they can do with Kiryu at this point even though it’s technically not necessary is resolve the plot line from 6 with him being dead. Otherwise there’s literally nothing else to do with his character. Especially as 7 pretty much ends his obligation to the Tojo Clan with it’s plot twist after that literally being a crutch for most of the games he was the protagonist of.

Like I said elsewhere I’m cool with this so long as

A. This is the definitely last the mainline game featuring Kiryu narratively or gameplay wise.

B. Doesn’t turn into a Gyakuten Saiban thing.

It is $$$, lol.

It can be both for money and because the developers are on some coward shit.

The guy whose spent two years claiming he lost an election unfairly and also has had some antisemitic moments over the years thinks the guy who thinks Jews run the world and that George Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose is off his rocker.

@Shiebs said in Marvel Movies Thread - Holy Shitballs:

I don’t know what I think about Sentry being in the movies, he’s a very weird character

Also it’s kind of his thing to always be the strongest,

Hulk’s going to be pisssed.

…….What Borderlands movie?

@MDL said in Random News Article Discussion II:

Upon realizing his daughter was shot, hale should have just pulled over and immediately called 911.

Don’t you see Hale had no duty to retreat he was within his rights to stand his ground and deal with the situation personally

you should always safely seperate your vehicles instead of engaging or retaliating.

“Nah I wanna threaten and kill someone for having the temerity to cut me off or refuse to let me pass them”.

People can’t help being dumb and miserable.

@Sano I just saw Seth getting "pissed" off at CM Punk coming back, was that just a work?

That’s the going theory. The more confusing thing no one is yet sure of is why was Drew McIntyre all hot.

@Satsuki said in Hajime no Ippo:

You can see his hair growing back under the cap

That’s the hair in the back.

What about his scalp we all know there’s in this thing in this series for people having fucked up haircuts but that’s usually something Aoki or one is the fodder fighters gets subjected to.

@Sano said in WWE and other fed: Disccusion:

I looked on Twitter and the hardcore Punk fans aren't happy as usual.

Over what?

His promo time being cut?

Him just cutting a promo to close the show instead of wrestling?

Actually for once not burying someone/something?

Edit: well shit

Looney Tunes is apparently staying.

Oh shit .

Question is did he sign it before or after he buried the company and started a stupid fight with management.

Somebody better be careful standing near balconies or windows. Or in Trump’s case have someone taste testing his Big Macs & Diet Coke’s

He is and yet people are still being weird about it from AEW’s position whether it’s still playing off the idea that the company was weird for firing him for being a liability or asking Khan about him returning to WWE and then being shocked he didn’t want to answer the question.

It’s like move the fuck on to things worth caring about not some grown manchild going somewhere else to worth where he likely cause problems in another workplace.

@CosmicDebris said in Blue Eyed Samurai:

@access-timeco I don't know what your original language is, but the original language it was recorded in is English, and the mouths are very clearly animated precisely to the words, so I'm not sure what you mean. Unless you just don't like the actors they chose for the roles. How can anyone not like George Takei, lol.

Know that’s rhetorical but you and I both know there’s a least two “shitty” reasons someone would hate Takei.

Well Punk is back in WWE I guess.

Let’s see how long it takes for him to get on his bullshit and more sniping between Punk Stans & Punk critics to start up.

Either way I’m sorta glad I got banned from r/Squaredcircle so I don’t have to put up with the bullshit from either side.
