In the transition from Yakuza to Yakuza 2, Kiryu got noticeably worse at claw machine games, or Sega is rigging them, or I have just gotten worse at playing Yakuza, or multiple inconveniently-timed cosmic rays have been hitting my PlayStation 2, or the fundamental laws of reality (and therefore claw machine games) are dependent on the stability of the Japanese Yakuza, or Yakuza 2 is more difficult than the first game.
It’s probably the cosmic rays.
