The funniest thing in Yakuza 3 is that every other Yakuza knows who Kiryu is, they're all familiar with stories of the Dragon of Dojima, yet NONE of them know what he looks like.
At least 20 times throughout the game, this happens:
Goons: "Hey IDIOT what are you doing on our turf?? Don't you know we're in the TOJO CLAN?!?"
Kiryu: "..."
Goons: "GET DEAD, YOU OLD FART"
Kiryu: [Tears their spines out]
Goon boss: "Hey guys sorry I was standing over there for a minute what did I miss- OH HEY Fourth Chairman, how you doing?"
Goons: "WHUUUUHHHHH????"
Yakuza 3 is way better than people make it out to be. It's definitely the weakest of the series that I've played up to this point, but it's not bad by any means. Above all else, I loved those orphans as much as this game loves the word "Aniki".
Also, that ending was severely insane. It felt like they ran out of development budget and reached the end before realizing they hadn't paid off a character who was introduced like 15 gameplay hours earlier, so they gave him a bonkers cutscene. What a ride!

I played it after those same games, but it had been a while between Kiwami 2 and this. It's simpler than the others and I had no desire to go for all the side quests or anything like that, but I still got hooked just like the others and couldn't stop playing until I reached the end. And I got REALLY attached to those orphans and Rikiya!
