I've been wondering for a while now what to get my roommate for Christmas this year and now I think I have the answer.

A sukajan is always a cool gift. Don’t look bad for the prices, either.

Started 0 and proceeded to play it for 9 hours straight. The mix of serious main story and silly side content is like a combination of sour and sweet. I was a bit concerned about the mini games not being my thing but I liked karaoke and disco a lot. That Majima introduction in chapter 3 was absolutely great.

Glad you’re liking it. Yeah, it’s high on my top ten list. I’ve played the entire series, including spinoffs, in English and Japanese and 0 is by far the standout. For PC Kiwami 1-2 are pretty big step downs from 0. Buuuut....still good games unto themselves. Here’s hoping more gets ported in the future.
Majima is the king.
Don't worry about the mini-games though. They are really well-made and completely optional. I keep Yakuza 0 installed just to play mahjong or pool when I feel like it.

The Nishikiyama and Majima especially are seriously tempting. Also, holy hell that asian girl model is beautiful!

But FOTNS is a '80s product when only PC master race and Nintendo were around, last HNK games were on Playstation and XBOX that are late game peasant console, there are tons of MUGEN about HNK, PC users care! Just give TLOU and similar stuff to console guys.
Finished Yakuza 0 last night, really wanted to go to bed and instead suffered this for two hours.
It was also like this in the previous games. They really need to stop doing this and respect people with jobs.

Fight the Man by watching cutscenes at work.
No problem with long cutscenes when they are justified. Here, they were hardly justified, with dialogues with awkward pause that say nothing much interesting, and over drawn sequences.
But there is worse, I said : the main issue was that those ending cutscenes were absolutely unskippable, here you are on your butt at 10PM wanting to go to bed, and you have to suffer some incredible bullshit with NO STOPPING point for 2 hours.
All I wanted is the New Game+ save.
Even if there was no save point, had they allowed to skip it, I could have watched the ending off youtube the day after. But no, the game had decided I was going to skip on some sleep. Fuck it.
When I become President of Video Games, it will be first on my platform : SAVE. ANYWHERE. ANYTIME.

Hapenned to me with Persona 5. Never finished the game because of it - even if I killed the last boss.

You probably have never seen a movie in your life.
Nintendo already did that with their portable consoles.

Why would i? Movies stopped doing what Yakuza series do long ago - having likable characters.

That was actually one convenience thing I really missed about the Dragon Engine games while playing through the Remastered Collection, the ability to save almost anytime anywhere.

Did the real estate side quest from zero to completion in chapter 14 without touching any story content, took 10-12 hours overall but at least the money is rolling in now and I got the ultimate fighting style for it. I am not aiming for completionist but it'd be a crime (heh) not to give all this side content a fair chance. I'll do the cabaret as well once I get the chance which I assume will be in the final chapter.
