Over the course of 20 minutes I'd somehow managed to trigger him in two different cutscenes and several street battles outside a Smile Burger that is in an intersection with a Sega arcade. While I enjoy Majima popping up everywhere, he can be a problem. You're going to get caught every time you try. You can't use a sluggish crushing blow when Majima is pirouretting with knives. Like Kiryu, Majima has various styles and each one requires a different tactic to beat. You don't necessarily have to win, but getting to a point you can nets you more overall experience and gives you more insight into how Yakuza's combat works. The only way to unlock skills in Kiryu's "beast" fighting style (his signature Dragon of Dojima style he uses throughout the franchise) is to fight Majima. Trying to get away from the Smile Burger to get more healing items? Majima will find your ass and want to fight. Trying to get a sandwich at Smile Burger? Majima wants to fight. As you explore Kamurocho, Majima's tell-tale "Kazzy-chan" pierces the hum of city life like a siren. With Majima Everywhere, the bat wielding fiend above is dedicated to helping Kiryu become a fearsome fighter. Kiwami features new cutscenes, new mini-games, and the fact that my favorite mad man is absolutely everywhere. So Kiwami looks better but the remake is also a response to how fans reacted to popular characters since its initial release. If you're not playing Kiwami on a 4K screen it probably won't bother you. So I'm going to attribute this odd skin texture problem to my television. I'd love to show you this but every time I attempted to take a screenshot it looked normal on most monitors. In one odd scene where Kiryu meets with a down-on-his-luck cop assigned to organized crime, I noticed a blurry mass of gigantic pores on the sides of the man's neck that abruptly ended like an exposed mesh beneath his ear. Majima is entirely too snake-like to have normal qualities like enlarged pores. On my 4K television, every character save Majima is a pockmarked mess. This has been an on and off issue with the Yakuza games since 3, with skin looking too glossy or entirely too realistic in uncomfortable ways. My only real issue with how Kiwami looks is the increased detailing in skin textures. If I thought the PS2 load times were abysmal, imagine what they might be on Wii U. They weren't remasters and I'm suddenly quite glad they didn't localize that. Back when I entertained hope that the Wii U might turn into a worthwhile purchase, Sega released a combination port of Yakuza 1 and 2 in Japan. Kiwami feels much more like the PS3 games than a bold remake taking advantage of the PlayStation 4.
