The combat in Yakuza isn't bad, but it might be my least favorite thing about the series. The heat moves and general brutality/silliness is great, but in general I find it tedious and tend to avoid as many encounters as possible. Especially the ones where you have multiple protags/styles.
As someone who has played a bunch of Yakuza, I agree that the gameplay can go from fun and satisfying to downright frustrating on a whim. There were more than a few times in Yakuza 0 where I got straight up stunlocked or downed in weird and confusing ways, and the battles where that didn't happen tended to be completely one-sided affairs.
Absolutely, and I don't watch -- but do you really think a supposed industry professional can act like this, even outside a business meeting, and not potentially have to face consequences from their higher-ups? I know I'd go "THIS guy is going to be in charge of our product? I think not".
This is far from the first time they've been on the couch or shown up in a similar style. They've shown up on the GB E3 couch for 5 years, and they've mentioned this is one of the only times they get to get together and hang out as friends. Jeff is one of those friends.
