    the writing doesn’t suck.

    You sure about that?

    spoiler

    Saejima’s rubber bullets, Kiryu’s mentor’s CIA twin brother, in fact just everything about 3, ”Kiryu would never kill anyone”, etc.

    Most of the bad bits are charmingly bad, but the series is definitely not consistent in its quality of writing.

      Like, yeah, it’s not high-class writing but I’m laughing instead of cringing. The charm is undeniable while GTA is 99% manchild “le funny weed/sex joke” writing.

        I now realize you meant in comparison to GTA. Yeah, I’ll take Yakuza’s sometimes stupid writing over GTA any day.

        The humor in GTA V seemed anachronistic even back in 2013, it felt like Rockstar had never moved on from the ”Area 69? Get it, lol!” jokes they’d been doing for over a decade. Can’t even imagine what it’d be like playing it today, my face would probably look like this the entire time: cringe
