By all accounts this game is way more frustrating than Zero but it also has some peak moments and every time Lloyd says something about barriers I clap so it's gotta be at least almost as good

"Rubber bullets"? "Kamurocho Hills scene"? Never heard of those. I only know of Akiyama kicks, Essence of Combos and HERCULEAN SPIRIT

The lesson is, you gotta live

Fuck self-sacrifice

Cannot for the life of me fathom how this is the least liked Layton game

Lloyd Bannings in Germany on November 9th, 1989 be like: "Looks like I have a job to do" (he's helping people to break a barrier)

Good job Inti Creates, let's get someone working on that Love Live RPG next (copium)

My mans was built a little too different

Why would Mine do that instead of just killing the guy? Is he stupid?

While I'm sad that this game will most likely never reach its fullest potential, what's already here is honestly fantastic

Phenomenal main cast of characters, fun and interesting mysteries, and a bunch of things both big and small that warm my Ace Attorney-obsessed heart

It may be rough around the edges, but it's also incredibly sincere, and its love for the series that inspired it is clear to see

I will protect Tyrion and Celeste with my life.

This review contains spoilers

This might be just me but I find it incredibly hilarious how in most these types of cartoony action games the villains go to jail or have to do some kind of community service for comedic effect at the end but here they all just die and nobody comments on it

When Hanawa stood up to Mine and said "we are the men who erased their names" I got chills

White people when you tell them there will be symbiote at the function

It still makes me sad just how many kino ingredients there are in the finale of this game (and the og by extension) and it still manages to fumble it so hard thank god the later games stick the landing way better for the most part

Anyways, having actually played the og Yakuza 2 before this replay I can pretty definitively say that I prefer this remake, the removed content sucks but at the end of the day I like K2's more streamlined structure way more than Y2's cryptic bullshit and at least the new content is mostly pretty dope
