10 Video Game Side Missions You MUST Complete
10. Passport To Pizza - Yakuza 0
The Yakuza franchise is absolutely jam-packed with deliriously insane, highly entertaining side missions - aka "sub-stories" - so picking just one out of the literally hundreds on offer is quite the agonising task.
An easy fan favourite, however, is Yakuza 0's "Passport to Pizza," in which Kiryu must acquire a pizza for a pronunciation-impaired woman named Samantha.
Cue an hilarious outing where Kiryu visits a burger shop and forces the poor woman working behind the counter to phone a pizzeria and order him a pizza.
After finally receiving your order, you've got just 90 seconds to get the hot, doughy goodness back to Samantha.
In that time, however, Samantha has been working hard on her pronunciation, and reveals she actually wanted a visa, so she's rather miffed when you present her with a giant pizza pie.
Samantha's pimp then shows up, whose ass Kiryu consequently kicks, leading to a gut-busting twist ending where the remorseful pimp proposes to Samantha.
She accepts, and all three of you eat the pizza together in celebration, as Kiryu signs off with the immortal one-liner, "Good pizza's like a new marriage. Enjoy it while it's hot."
Like the best Yakuza sub-stories, this is an unforgettable combination of dementedly funny and weirdly sweet. It doesn't amount to much more than talking, running around, and briefly fighting, but it's so damn entertaining.
