I think that's Pre-Order/Special Edition/Free DLC stuff. For whatever reason, every game that has it, has it handed over by that clown guy with no in-universe explanation.
I think it's a joke on how inexplicable these characters having these special items would be. Kinda like if FF16 had a gunblade and Gilgamesh cameod to hand it over to Clive.

I am now in Osaka's Sotenbori district. I can finally go "hey I've been here irl!"
...man I wanna go back. Dotonbori at night looked amazing.
The environment next to the river looks a bit less glamourous than I remember but then again it is supposed to be 1988 so maybe that's accurate to how it looked back then.
Majima's intro cutscene was quite long, seems like an interesting character so far. He is...far more grounded than I thought. My vague Yakuza knowledge I gathered from the internet had me thinking he'd be a wacky meme factory or something.

I tried to finally start Like a Dragon and, man, as someone who loves Xenosaga I didn't think a game could ever out-cutscene me. But this is wearing me down, lol. I've played for like 8 hours and I swear 6 of them have been cutscenes.

It can be a bit much especially with sidequest cutscenes just starting without a prompt when you get near them 
Just today I triggered a sidequest but thought "well, I'll continue this later, I'm gonna get back to the story first..." but then on my way to the next main story thing I accidentally triggered the second part of the sidequest and before I knew it I was inside a cult trying to rescue someone's daughter and it became a whole thing...

Majima's story in 0 is so captivating. I'm going to be honest and say Kiryu's stuff felt less interesting to me (I started with 0 as well.) But in context of the other games, Kiryu in 0 makes sense. I grew to love him muchly later. <3

My research had told me the same, either 0 or 7 (Yakuza: Like a Dragon) but more often than not it's "start with 0, then work your way up (if you dig it)"
Oh no, I'm getting sucked into minigames. I kinda dig bowling??
Is it worth doing any for any kind of good rewards? Interesting substories, etc?
I just made some cash betting on catfights

Tachibana is the guy with the bat tattoo 
Was wondering if the Kiryu and Majima storylines ever connect, guess this is where the threads start intertwining...
edit: Also, I have fought Kuze three times now. How many times do I need to teach you this lesson, old man?
Theme goes hard though
