There's nothing there besides the topic of maximum sentences briefly coming up and Dan saying "that's a silly idea" and the guys then quickly moving on before he can shove his entire leg in his mouth

I don't mind that as long as it's without the sighs and complaining.
This is my takeaway. Dan got insufferable near the end with that shit.

Instead you get Dan getting real passive aggressive whenever fights come up lmao.

how many exquisite corpse drawings were made with one person giving suggestions to everybody and those people always going "you know what, you're right"

I mean to be fair aren't you guys bitching about the gameplay in kiwami also?

That dual boss fight in the club was so fucking infuriating I nearly twisted my controller in half

I can't wait for the Kiwami playthrough to end and start arguments over whether Vinny or Abby should take over for 2, because if you thought Dan was bad in Yakuza 0, Kiwami's going to make Alex look even worse than that
Like, some real "maybe this was a mistake" shit

Alex probably won't complain as much as Dan who still doesn't understand how heat works
The issue is that Dan seemed to do nothing but complain in the back half of the series every time a fight came up. He actually has the same reaction in Soul Caliber when things in a fight aren't going his way. If Alex complains about the fighting in Kiwami, then maybe it's a series they shouldn't do. The change from Dan to Alex is a change of pace and the possibility that the person running the game won't grumble when he's gotta fight a dude.
Really think Beast in the East 2 should play PS2 Yakuza. Let me experience the dub without actually playing it. You'll make Dan happier too with a dub, plus I'm sure he'll love the cast.
Also, as someone who just played through Yakuza 2 via PCSX2, I think I like the fighting system in that game more than 0 and Kiwami at least. It's a bit simpler and the punches feel real good.
Yup, that was garbage. Felt like every time I was handling one, the other one went off to regenerate health. Went back and fourth forever.

I never had an issue with that one so much. No-one should regen health because you can do the KIWAMI HEAT move on them when they try.
The dude on the roof with the guns and the final boss with ninjas that come back from the dead can absolutely fuck off though.
Yeah roof dude he can fuck off for sure. I think my biggest issue in the game was still the Shimano fight in Chapter 4.

I don't know that you can get through Kiwami without being sick of fighting at least by the time you fight Arase
I can't overstate how much worse the fighting is in Kiwami

The plot twist at the end of Excuisite Corps is gonna be that Vinny is the Enemy Within, as hes been the puppet master this whole time and is the one guiding them all to their inevitable doom.

Maybe they did this behind the scenes or something and I just don't know it, but I wish they would've taken a bit of time to write down a combat cheat sheet for Dan to have in front of him, or allocated some time for him to practice the combat or something. I know that's never really their style, but his frustration being largely based on confusion (and mashing, maybe?) wore me out by the end.

I would love to see it just for the taxi combat reactions.

Yeah, I still really like the concept but X-com being played mediocrely and being bogged down by a lot of indecisions isn't exactly my idea of thrilling gameplay. And I usually don't mind mediocre gameplay but giantbomb usually supplements those with fun idle chat. The conversation in X-corps is mostly about indecisions for every turn.
Which is why I like the spice of Dan episodes.

That fight was beyond terrible but the trick was to focus on one at a time, as difficult as it was.
Overall, while I liked Kiwami a lot, the combat and story are both a lot worse than 0.
0 is GOAT though

lmao at how Brad's PUBG game ended on UPF.

I didnt think that was as bad as the first time you fight him tbh. Then again, I wasnt expecting the first boss fight to be such a pain in the ass.
I have messed around with the Yakuza 6 demo and that's about the first time I felt like the combat in the series truly felt fun and satisfying. Since Kiwami 2 is on the same engine as 6, I'm hopeful.

Like honestly, the more I watch X-corps the more I feel like Dan isn't the problem. If anything it would be more fun if Alex and Abby actually adopted his approach more. Not like they should all be heels or whatever but it would be more fun if they add a bit more character to their play.
It's basically a DnD game, and Alex and Abby are like the 2 newbies who keep asking the DM what to do.

Yup, was a solid UPF. Danny's pretty great, and it was really unbelievable at how similar Monster Hunter looked to the modern stuff.
I'd definitely watch a longer video of OG Monster Hunter with Jason explaining how it evolved over the years.

Finishing Alex's Exquisite Corps makes me excited for when they finally capture that alien they need and
Edit: This first side quest in the Kiwami QL is amazing!
then wipe during the alien infiltration. That was the only time I've completely wiped during my XCOM playthrough so far.

that's the secret truth to exquisite corps - watching people play XCOM half decently and bumbling their way through isn't that great

That was such a bizarre thing, I was shocked to learn it was a new addition. Really, really awful padding right off the bat.
