Yakuza 6: The Song of Life (Zero Punctuation) 

"The bench was in you all along", Beautiful Q_Q

A Yakuza game about taking care of a baby is incidentally the most Yakuza thing ever.

The bench was the friends we made along the way

But that's why I love Kiryu! Just from looking at him you think he's going to be a AAAsshole like Aden Pierce who seems to be more villainous than the actual villains but it's amazing just how much fun he seems to be having. Like how invested he gets in racing toy cars.

Strength, Defense, Sage, Rosemary and Umami... I don't have Thyme for this...

"Does Bayonetta 1 count?" Seriously after playing the game about 4 times I still don't know

"This is why i love the yakuza series: they’re hilariously dumb and yet so earnest" Thats exactly why the resident evil series is my guilty pleasure. Exactly.

I just love Yakuza. One of the best thing about the story is that it really makes the characters feel alive and human. Also even after 6 games the plot twists still surprise me

You're really gonna call out Yakuza for doing the Dad thing? That's been a thing since the FIRST YAKUZA GAME

I believe "Dream Daddy" also focuses on serious hairy dads, but in a completely different way.

I think the best side activity in Yakuza 6 is the bar mini game where you have to befriend all the locals down the local. I love it because of all the wacky, bizarre side nonsense Kiryu gets up to that one seems the most normal and age appropriate. Old man Kiryu finishing a tough day smashing street thugs teeth in with bikes, benches and other stuff beginning with B and then nipping down the pub for a few shorts and a nice chinwag.

I bought Yakuza 6 over God of War. I know people want me to feel buyers remorse and regret but I just can't. Yakuza games hearken back to that crazy era of games. A time where we saw a plumber in blue overalls butt stomp a mutated turtle to save a princess and a talking mushroom and said "Sure, makes enough sense to me."

*Laughs in Japanese*

This is one of the series I need to get into. This and persona

“The Song Of Life” is a hilarious whimsical subtitle for the name “Yakuza”. But I guess that’s the Yakuza series for you.

A “West Side Story-themed funeral” is something I would actually like to see.

"The bench was in you all along". That is both strangely beautiful and hilarious :)

*raising eyebrows in Japanese*

Blimey they skipped straight from zero to six? When will the madness stop?

Yahtzee describing the Yakuza games in a nutshell nearly killed me.

I will say this, this game had one of the only boss fights that actually scared me for how i never saw this character as a villain, i swear to God his boss fight reminded me of the Tonberry's from Final Fantasy except if they were ninjas.

on one hand yahtzee is absolutely right about the final boss being a cakewalk on the other hand, I would've called bullshit if Little Baby Iwami actually posed a threat to Kiryu

you should make a sequel to your hats game in which after every two hats you have to chase a toddler off the screen. forget to do this and you grow a beard and proceed to learn useless life lessons for the next two minutes.

Yahtzee, if you run a full Umami build, you can unlock King of Flavor mode. It was a bad design choice, but they locked the Shin Cheffing Tourney behind that path, and that's where all the REAL action is in this game.

I just finished Yakuza 6 and holy shit the giant robot brontosaurus wasn’t even that far off from the real thing.

Yakuza brings new meaning to getting benched.

You mean there's a Yakuza *_6?!_*

"The Song of Life" would've made a much better subtitle for that Yakuza zombie game.

There's something about hearing Yahtzee rip games apart that really makes me relax...

I'm sorry Dead Rising but I've found another series where I can beat the shit out of people with benches.

Wuh, guh, nani?

The bench was in you all along - Still coming up with great quotes all these years later.

"The bench was in you all along" Beautiful.

This game did have a lot of fun glitches he forgot to mention. Punching someone in into the maps ceiling, it is like trying to sent someone into the atmosphere with a punch and realizing there is no sky.

You see young Kiryu, the true Bench was the one in your heart. #onetruebench

"The bench was in you all along!" I laughed so hard I cried.

Best game i've played this year

"that just wreck's shit like a high fiber diet"

Ah another game with angry men in suits beating up other angry men in suits

"Wrecks shit like a high-fiber diet" 🤣 man you are the Shakespeare of our times.

Wilma-chan made me laugh way too much

This doesn't count as a dad game. Kiryu doesn't growl "BOI" every five minutes.

and now yahtzee is a serious hairy dad

Hello Ben, I just recently subscribed and I love every zero punctuation video you've made. Especially with every game I've played, and even then I can't get enough. You see, you have this sarcastic wit that I hope to develop as I get older. I immediately became a fan when I first saw zero punctuation. Please don't ever stop making videos.

ONO MICHIO.

I dunno about everyone else's method for the street gang thing but I just spawned grenadiers and Daigo Dojima for more grenade throwers. What is strategy? I never met her

I think he drew a lot of new eyes for this episode .. this game really brings out his creativity

"Wilma-chan" I'm dying right now. My sides are killing me.

I feel like Yahtzee accidentally predicted the premise of Amnesia Rebirth with his "Serious Hairy Mums" joke

The Bayonetta joke at the beginning got funnier the more I thought about it

Oh man, this one was extra funny, good job Yahtz

Ayy I got here early, screw prepping for my exams tomorrow.

Now Yahtzee is a serious harry dad

I think why it's so lesser is because Kiryu and even Majima are getting to feel that they're OLD! If they make one more game with them, I wouldn't be surprised to see them kick about several dudes in the face then have a big crack in their back and need to lie down for a few hours! 0 is so good cause they were young and in the funky 80s, where stuff gets crazy and that crazy is fun!

That just wrecks shit like a high fiber diet. Loading.... [frantic laugh] Good one.

That is a weirdly accurate description of looking after babies.....I hope their is a toddler feeding mini game

Been waiting for this for a wile glad it's up now

Haven't watched in awhile and god its nice to hear that song again

“The bench was in you all along” I’m dying 😂

For a brief second I thought Yahtzee was doing the "I don't want to spoil but" *tells literally the twist* thing, and I got *so excited* to play a game about a giant robot brontosaurus.... Shame, guess I won't be playing Dadkuza then =(

The only thing I hate about Yakuza is that it took me so long to get into the franchise.

I love it when you enjoy a game. I genuinely like to fall asleep to your reviews of subnautica and attack on titan, I just wish your portal review had it's own episode...

the best part about the chatrooms was the other people in there. one had a robot and it was hilarious

"Games in which jaded and battle-weary mums escort their helpless child..." Not gonna lie, I'd play the hell out of that.

The twist is that it’s a world war 2 Yamato class super battle ship that was built during the wars with blood money I’m not kidding this is the real twist and I know this video is old but I had to let people know

"Picking up a bench and going on a mandible safari" 😂

Ben, never change. Please, never change.

Someday, one day I'm going to dive into the Yak series of games.

Not every new game in a series has to be the best one yet. This game gives you more Yakuza, and I'll take that any day.

The amount of punctutation in this video renders me baffleozied.

"The bench was in you all along !" How did it got there ?

Bayonetta does in fact count

Great video. Personally I did like the main story of Yakuza 6 more than Yakuza 0. They did great with the lessons on family to other characters and also to Kiryu. Him finally acknowledging the person who he'd consider his son was an awesome end.

'...that just wrecks shit like a high five diet.' Best poop quip of 2018

1:26 No one paints a mental picture yahtzee. I just about pissed myself.

3:23 ok, let me put that to the test with the latest game, Infinite Wealth (spoilers, obvs) 1. Ichiban meeting Ebina, I guess? If you want the growly stare thing, when Kiryu met him and asked him to get off the chair may count, but it's midway through the game. 2. The Millenium Tower raid is exactly like that, with a new version of the official we-re-done-fking-around theme, Receive You. Only Kiryu dons the suit, though. Also, yes, I didn't expect skinny guy from Godzilla Minus One (or Jin from Lost if you chose the dub) to be that ripped.

I must have missed the stream of you playing this one, excellent work regardless.

Ahh, there's the brutally facetious verbal bombardment I've been craving.

So I looked up what that “robot brontosaurus” actually was... How the hell do you fucking *LOSE* a Yamato-class‽

Yahtzee, If you liked zero more, there's a good reason why. Despite release dates, it's actually newer, sega just brought it over first for some reason. I'd recommend kiwami 1 and 2, I think you'll find them expansions on zero, instead of subtractions. When you get around to them. Kiwami 2 isn't actually out yet.

These vids are so good for taking a break from math

That opening line! X'D

This is my favourite anime online show

Heh. Watching this exactly 2 years later, having finished the game and caught up on the franchise, ready for Yakuza 7.

2:50 Why I keep watching ZP lol

Honestly, I'd be down for a "hairy mom game" for once.

Serious harry spiders from the future

0:32 He ain't wrong. That sounds like a grand idea.

Laugh until my buttocks fly off into a sandwich not heard that one before.

I have yet to find my inner bench

That bench in the end just made my day * laughs in finnish *

as soon as he was talking about the hairy mum I thought Bayonetta and I haven't even played it.

Zero Punctuation is to game reviews what Regular Car Reviews is to car reviews

iirc the reason why 6 has less content than its predecessors is because it was their first game on a new engine, the Dragon Engine, and they were still getting used to it. that being said, 6's "fishing" minigame (which is actually an on rails shooter) and its baseball manager minigame are both really cool

Shower with your dad simulator review when?

Hmm, maybe developers could try more video games with tough moms in them (hairiness optional).

the tornado plot help pork sleet

I'm a yakuza fanboy. And I'm proud damn it.

Just bought Yakuza 0 today. Can't wait to try it after I played Spiritfarer

0:48 careful what you wish for
