Someone had to badmouth Yakuza 3, why not Kiwami 2 !

[Hardtarget01]

A substory from Kiwami 2 where they badmouth Yakuza 3! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzxSpe29z08 Never seen this done before! Of course they never meant that Yakuza Sunset 3 was a movie but Yakuza 3. Why we cant have great things ...... cheap remasters, no effort, lazy. We want Kiwami 3 you hear!

I've seen a few people post this with similar comments, but to be frank, I don't agree that it's just badmouthing. If we assume the sunset movies to be analogous to the Yakuza games, as most people seem to, this subquest:

- Acknowledges that 3 had some strong emotional moments
- Paints it's biggest flaw as merely lacking 'punch'
- Suggests the director of 3 was brought back to do 4 specifically because of the director of the
prior entries in the series recognizing 3's strengths and seeing potential for improvement
- Paints the director as having his heart in the right place

It's hardly just trash-talking. As for the lack of Kiwami 3...it's only like a console gen and a half old. Sure it's harder to get a hold of than 4 or 5, but it's considerably more modern. Plus, I can respect RGG Studios not wanting to remake old games for the next like, 6 or more years it would take to remake 3/4/5? I think moving forward with something fresh and different will be much better for the franchise as a whole. Shin Yakuza looks like it'll be just that too, so there's that.

nothing really. just a reference to the fact that some certain minority of fans back in the day were stupid er i mean didn't recieve Yakuza 3 very well.....also sidenote they didn't like Sayama in Yakuza 2..... both are beloved now of course.

the biggest flaw in yakuza 3 for me is that they f-king kill kaoru. My man kiryu deserve some love

That substory is as much a commentary on whiny & toxic fandoms as on the games themselves, & the "cut out the best parts" line was likely a liberty taken by the localisers as it refers to an issue specific to the English localised PS3 release of 3.
