In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie / We bear our banners aloft, boots like butts / Our butts quick, our countenance dire. / For who in this dark, dream-haunted butthole dares / Resist the righteous flames of butts / And fart themselves to despair and death?

If you’ve not played a Yakuza game before now, 0 is absolutely the place to start.

If, like me, you’re an 80s kid, the nostalgia trip alone is worth the price of entry—but having an in-route to the saga of Kiryu and Co. is just as valuable. It plays well, there are plenty of distractions for those who want to divert…

Can I just say, out of the various times you guys have revamped your review system, this current format of pages long reviews with no concrete summary seems non-committal and off putting to people who might not want to be potentially spoiled about anything in a game? I didn’t mind the “Should you buy/play this”…

unfortunately this has literally already happened. but their thoughts and prayers are doing so much so it’s ok...

Someone beat me to it already but it is tough to shame someone who has no shame. After turning on the TV this morning and immediately trying to figure out if anyone we knew was in Las Vegas, my wife and I talked about the fact that nothing will change. Sometime this week, and it may have already happened, someone will…

You heard the man, folks.

I will personally buy this game for anyone who hasn’t played it that wants it.

What? You mean a robust set of reporting features and a dev team dedicated to enforcing their ToS can lead to an overall more positive and inclusive community?

I don’t care if it took up development time, it improved the game as a whole and probably added years to its life.

I too have felt this. It’s quite a pleasant turn of events.

I enjoyed the more deadpan voice rather than the uptempo version.

Oh thank you so much. I can’t get this player to play past 15 seconds or so, ever.

I wish to give myself to you in any way you desire

This is awesome

I’ll admit, you’re growing on me. Now just get Kotaku to stop using that god awful video player.

I like the cut of your jib Mr Rogers.

Most specialized disciplines (be they VA, motion capture, traditional acting, screenwriting, or what have you) need some kind of unionized representation—if only because for every one truly talented, trained individual, there are fifteen armchair thespians howling, “I COULD DO IT BETTER, FOR LESS MONEY!”

...one need…

I agree with all of this, my friends that bought this game this year all say the same thing

Jesus! I just can’t even. Insecure 15-yo me would have craved this kind of attention and willingly done what was asked by an adult because I was a child that didn’t know any better. He knows exactly what he is doing as an adult. It is targeted and it is disgusting. He is fucking trash.

God, when it was just misguided willy pictures being leaked I was all set to defend him. (Who among us doesn’t have one or two compromising photos lying around?) Guess that was pointless. What a waste of fucking breath on this drippy pile of compost.
