Basically getting right toward the end of Yakuza 7... I'm only on chapter 12 but I've basically done all the side stuff possible for the completion list... its bizarrely compelling even if its technically completely optional this time (though its the best way to level up Ichiban's human stats, no grinding required)
Finished all the Ijincho Mahjong tables yesterday, the high roller table didn't really feel all that much harder to other tables... took a few tries to clear it but all round the AI didn't really feel that much more challenging than other tables, especially as more often than not I was getting pretty great hands... Kinda funny that no matter what, its Mahjong and the arcade that manages to always steal the most time away from me game after game, despite really not changing that much from one sequel to the next. Koi Koi is probably my distant third favourite, because once I picked it up, it is actually super satisfying to get a super good hand (and in 7's favor, you don't have to unlock difficulties like earlier games, which was more annoying than anything)... I miss Ceelo and Cho Han though.
Oh, and Zhao's "Devil's Hell Pot" Karaoke song might be my favourite song & video in the game. Can't stop listening to it. Speaking of Zhao... I'd really love for him to appear in Virtua Fighter 6 above any other character, the fact they give him a range of martial arts moves makes his attacks flow really nicely in this game, plus they wouldn't need much work to implement him, since he'd just be a clone of Akira for the most part...
My remastered collection physical copy finally arrived, so i took a picture of my whole collection so far. My physical collection back in 2015 was just 1&2HD Yakuza 3 & Yakuza 4 and it has grown so much since then.
I sure hope your planning to get the PSP games next! I've been revisiting their plots this past week and I'd forgotten how good 1's got toward the end - and I just love 2 as a whole, its one of the best in the series that few have played :(
