I ain't got time for rhythm action fam, bossing fuck outta darts and bowling though.

Heading back in, already caned four hours on it this afternoon. Game is a belter.

I completed Yakuza Kiwami yesterday on easy, cracking game although it's in 0's shadow a bit, being so similar only not quite as good.  
Side stories were also a bit more hit and miss, but there was some absolute solid gold, with that nice blend of comedy and sentimental stuff these games are so good at.  Some good call backs to characters from 0 that I really appreciated too.

Highlight is Majima and Kiryu's Looney Tunes relationship.  Fucking hilarious stuff in places.  Even just walking the streets and hearing him Majima calling out to Kiryu-chan with a megaphone or something made me grin.  Quality stuff

My favourite story is a girl interviewing Kiryu for some kind of Bad Boy Magazine.

Fuck me this game is brilliant

Which bit are you on right now?

Chapter 2 but just wandering around. So far (quest and gameplay spoilers):

I've loved every minute and it keeps making me laugh, fair play.

I'll be interested to see your thoughts on general story proceedings after another few chapters. 

The game is really about three equal parts. Solid fighting engine. Absurd diversions. Main story. 

Sounds like you're getting in on the first two, and enjoying them. 

For me, the game nails everything.

Spoiler for my favourite story bit:

Kuze.
Sewers. Specifically the music and buildup.

That bit was fucking awesome.

Spoilered bit was pure Manga trailer uhh-uhh-UHH stuff, loved it.  The welcome to the cabaret cinematic was the point where I realised the game was for me. Can't recall my favourite sub story offhand, but a few highlights:

Yeah, but it goes so quickly from hilaious diversions into a dead serious and incredibly well told story about Yakuza dealings. Its quite an achievement to have a game with a serious story try and earn the grace to be more than a bit silly (and completely overdo it) without stumbling. 

As for the side missions in general (spoilers for those yet to play it) I quite liked

Why is this not out on PC?
I blame Sony...

If this keeps up the way it has it could enter in second on my GOTY list

If you’re liking it already, I can’t see why that would change. Side-missions and general non-main questline content quality remains high, while the story goes from strength to strength.

I only found out about that a few weeks ago.  Definitely interested.

3rd for me.  Mario and Zelda too stronk.

Charging into chapter 12 of 0 like a boss. What a life.

Aye it were great.

I've not really dabbled with the other fighting styles other than the normal one. Find them a bit weird. Definitely gonna experiment more when I start Kiwami.
