best moments in gaming journalism
- journalist gets real yakuza members to play yakuza 3 and asks for their opinions on its authenticity
- that’s it
highlights:
- “What’s with all the fucking gaijin in this area?” “Dude, don’t say that, use gaikokujin, it’s nicer.” “Oh, shit, right. What’s with all the fucking gaikokujin in this area?”
- “The breaded pork cutlet bento box is like mega power. More than ramen. That’s accurate.”
- all of them start dragging kiryu for his shitty cheap shirt for five minutes
- “Shooting people sends a message.” “So does shooting anything.”
- (after being told that massage parlors, mahjong, and hostess clubs were cut from the US version) “I feel sorry for the people who bought the American version. SEGA USA sucks.”
S: I don’t know any ex-yakuza running orphanages.
K: There was one a few years ago. A good guy.
M: You sure it wasn’t just a tax shelter?
K: Sure it was a tax shelter but he ran it like a legitimate thing. You know.“Author’s note: Kuroishi and Shirokawa are both wearing dark green suits, the former by Armani and the latter handmade in the posh Ginza district from local fabric. Midoriyama is wearing gray sweatpants and a faded sweatshirt emblazoned with a drawing of Doraemon.”
