Isn't Zero a prequel though?
Problem is rush does barely any damage. His bat and breakdance styles are just ridiculous to fight.
It is but Kiwami is basically a remake. They added a lot of new stuff to it, taken straight from 0.

Yakuza games are mainly self contained stories.

PRELOAD IS UP ON US PSN.
Game size is slightly less than 21 GB.

This has been Majima for a while now. I too do miss his more sinister and twisted earlier versions that was writen by Seishu but Yokoyama definitely has romanticised these characters a fair bit.
Unless you're coming off 0, in which case he has always been crazy, he was just more reserved in that haha.
I'm not sure what happens with him in Kiwami specifically, but yeah he's changed a lot throughout the series.
I like to think he's a fairly sensitive guy, and his crazy mad dog persona is mostly an act to fit in the yakuza world and hide his insecurities and regret... I thought this before playing 0, so that game delivered big time haha.

True, but it's more severe here. He shows up all the time and the original cutscenes really don't mesh with the new side stories.
My review at Total Gaming Network is now live:
I use whole numbers only on a scale of 1 to 5. This game just has a few faults, including some Majima Everywhere encounters that didn't mesh especially well with the story beats, some graphical issues (mainly pop-in), and a couple of sequences that just felt a bit too long. Other than that, I loooooved this game. It was just so much fun! Between Kiwami and my first Yakuza game (Yakuza 0), I'm now sold on this entire franchise. Bring on Yakuza 6 and Kiwami 2!

Never played the Yakuza series but my copy of Kiwami just shipped and I completely forgot that I had preordered it. I'm debating whether or not I should keep it. Especially since I have to play 0 first.
It's the fate of all breakout characters. They're great within their limited screen time but then the writers realize how much the audience loves them and begin the overexposure.
Lot of people forget Majima was a side-villain before climbing the ranks to deutagnosit.
After messing around a bit I got my Kiwami pre-order today, but it was missing a few pesos to be eligible for free delivery.
I looked for another item to include and ended up with the Cowboy Bebop Blu-ray set
So around 55$ with free shipping for both, I expect good experiences to come

I guess there's no OT for this? Hoping my copy arrives in one piece so I can start playing tonight.
