Ain't That a Kick In The Head. NO Seriously, STOP KICKING HIS HEAD (Yakuza 0)
3In the first episode of our playthrough of Yakuza 0, while working on a simple collections run for a local loan shark tragedy strikes for our protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. The man in which he collected from turns up dead after. The crosshairs then get put squarely on Kiryu's shoulders and the Dojima Family. We also meet Akira Nishikiyama, who grew up with Kiryu at the orphanage. Completely unaware of what has transpired with the man, they go out for a night on the town. Getting into fights, singing karaoke, eating, drinking, even meeting a strange foreigner who helps Kiryu invest in himself, they are blissfully unaware of the news that will shake their world. As they are eating, the news breaks, and Kiryu is called into the Dojima Family HQ in order to answer for what has happened. As we arrive at HQ we meet the 3 Dojima family Lieutenants. Daisaku Kuze, Keiji Shibusawa, and Hiroki Awano. They inform us that the man we shook down earlier has ended up dead, and the spot they found the body is the worst spot possible for the family. The empty lot is the lone lot in all of Kamurocho, and whoever owns it owns the city. The boss of the Dojima family has wanted it for a while, and having a body end up there, with a Dojima family connection to the victim, causes a problem for the family. They believe we are following Kazama's orders, causing them a problem in acquiring the empty lot. They tell us that by the end of the day to turn ourselves into the police and leave our pinky behind as well. Before we do that, we decide to go talk to the loan shark. As we make our way to Tojo Credit, we come across the foreigner and his "fisting artist" friend. They teach us a new fighting style.
*NOTE- There is two audio issues that persist through episode 2, as well as a visual issue that persists until early in episode 8. The audio issues are largely fixed in editing. The fix causes both my mic to sometimes cut off when I'm speaking, as well as the game audio being too low. The visual issue is due to my own idiocy. I for some reason had render scale settings to maximum, which causes the game to look bad. I apologize for these issues. I hope you still enjoy the content nonetheless.
