Yare yare daze

Today I finished playing all three Yakuza games I own.

Yakuza 0 – The origins

Yakuza Kiwami – The remake of the original which came out for the PS2 (gives you perspective how long this franchise has been running)

Yakuza Kiwami 2 – Once again a remake only for the second one this time though.

The story of these games were phenomenal, really showing character development, plot twists, new locations, side characters, the expanse of the Yakuza clans and families and sub stories to top it all off which tend to be wacky fun side missions to complete along side the main mission.

Here are some of my favourite substories:
– Protect ‘Miracle Johnson’ (No-copyright Michael Jackson) from Zombies
– Dance off with people
– Fake Kiryu (Beat up an impersonator of the protagonist ‘Kazuma Kiryu’ and his associate)
– Cabaret Clubs, specifically Four Shine, here you can earn a over cool million each time through your hostesses who satisfy customers, there are also championships, in which I have completed one and plan to complete them all.
– All ‘Majima Everywhere’ battles and appearances
– All Komaki training challenges

The franchise has canonically 8 games from Yakuza 0 to Yakuza 7: Like a dragon, i’d recommend giving as many as you can a try, they are worth investing in and you’ll have countless hours of fun.

On a last note, the gameplay.

The gameplay in this game is packed full of wacky, intense, brutal and weird fighting styles, weapons and heat actions. I don’t want to go too much in detail so I suggest watching scenes for yourself on Youtube or just playing the game. My favourite heat action is the one where you lift an enemy upside down, jump in the air and slam them into the ground head-first. My favourite weapon is the Demonfire Knife which Majima uses. My favourite fighting style is beast from Yakuza 0 and rush from Yakuza Kiwami.

That’s all.

Finally it has been revealed, i’m using users OCs to make a giant christmas banner with as many users with Christmas themed outfits, gifts and decor as I can.

I said that the answer to why I needed all your OCs was right in front of you and it still is, it’s my profile picture, it’s Lemon in a Christmas sweater following the theme of what i’m doing.

If you’d like to be included link your OC in the comments.

After two days of work here and there i’ve finally completed the newest Lemon re-design, i’ve tested the layering, finger sizes, weird gaps when using two flat shapes and adjusted the colour.

It’s quite detailed so I zoomed in a bit for some shots.

[Insert joke about not hitting women]

Also I got 100 which is a perfect score on Baka Mitai, you know the ‘Dame Da Ne’ song, the song is karaoke and works like guitar hero and beat saber for hitting certain buttons at certain times to get a score.

Was bored so I finished making the Crescendo.

It’s finished.

I haven’t finished making this yet but here’s what I’ve done so far. I wanted to originally create a practice JJBA animation but got carried away making Dio’s knife from the manga in ridiculous detail, it’s not perfect and the node count could be less but it’s late and I’m not as good as I am usually for creating stickfigures.

Users trying to figure out why I asked for their OCs.

Don’t ask why.

I need all of your OCs.

I have good intentions with this don’t worry, you won’t regret it.

Just put a link in the comments.

I was playing a game the other day and my character received a gift of a sweater with some patterns, I selected the yellow variant and it got me thinking about a potential Stick Nodes Christmas picture where we all wear Christmas clothing and sit in a mansion or something, some users at a fireplace, some around the Christmas tree opening presents etc.

Something very homely and wholesome, getting ready for the festive season.

What do you think?
