I'm actually a fan of Yakuza, though the 1+2 HD collection for Wii U in Japan is mediocre at best. The original PS3 versions look better and smoother, despite the Wii U having moar power over the PS3. And the games are really meant to be played with a DualShock controller. It just feels weird to play with a Wii U Pro Controller. Yakuza 1 and 2 suck, though. Yakuza 4 is great, though starting with Yakuza 5 I feel the series has lost its way. It's a more violent GTA for the most part.
That's because he just wants to show off with his collection. Like I said, I know the guy and he's a fraud. I don't think he deserves praise. He works as chief operating officer of publishing house H-Town in Finland, which owns several well-established local magazines including Pelaaja (one of the biggest gaming magazines here), Anime (the biggest anime/manga fan magazine in Finland), and Macmaa (a well-known magazine on all things Apple).
finngamer is also the COO of Pelaaja and has easy access to review copies of games before they are released.
It's known that he also evades taxes on games by writing them off as company expenses. Local collectors have little respect for him as he is notorious for showing off he's the first Finnish guy to have collected something and it's always about the numbers game for him. His attitude is ignorant to the comments people make on his videos and blog, as he sees himself above other collectors (and to a lesser extent, players). His favorite games include Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64, which are probably the only games he has actually played. When I met him 6 years ago he just went on and on about how collecting games is his lifestyle and when I asked him what he played last he didn't even remember. He has a compulsive disorder and denies it. That's all there is to it.
Again, like I said on the first page, if someone gets a kick out of the video, good for them.
