Strike First. Strike Hard. No Mercy. Yakuza 5 Pulls No Punches With New Batch of Combat Screenshots

Kiryu and Saejima didn't get street cred by adopting puppies and saving the trees, they got it by beating the ever-living crap out of everyone who dared stand in their way.

Yakuza 5 -- A Measure of a Man Isn't Just How Well He Fights in Battle...It's Also How Sassy He Can Look in Purikura Prints

So first, here's a quick mea culpa from me: I've been thinking about Yakuza 5 completely wrong.

But here's one important lesson that I've learned: You're not acting like Yakuza 24/7. 

Well, I mean, you are - Kiryu, Shinada, all the rest of the protagonists are embroiled in a story rife with the danger that only Japanese gangster life could bring about, but the only thing going 24/7 in this game is the fact that you're in Japan.
