mine's the best villain up to this point in the series imo

gameplay feels like getting shot in the foot going from kiwami 2 to 3 though ,,

Story and characters were actually really good but something about the game makes you just want to push through the story instead of really playing it. A lot of the gameplay mechanics regressed

"What the fuck!?"

I really liked Yakuza 3's story. The calm moments where you just run an orphanage work very well with the crime drama the series eventually turns into. I liked most of the new characters and many of the returning ones hold strong.

Side stories are fine. More down to earth than 0's or 2's, but not as dull as 1's. I'd say my biggest complaint is tracking them. The menu for it is bad and it frequently doesn't tell you what you need to do. Leaving your mindlessly wandering around the city looking for a green dot above someone's head or get pulled into a dialogue section.

Combat is the worst so far in the series. It is dull, boring, and lacking in real variety. Enemies, especially bosses, block spam like no tomorrow, while tracking you relentless when you try to hit them from behind. When they go in heat mode, you're best off just running around until they queue up the QTE to get them out of it, or it runs out. It was not fun.

God man just let Kiryu be with his kids. I know some people complain about the kid substories getting in the way of the main plot, but I personally like it. To me it just feels like this is what Kiryu would rather be doing instead of facing into batshit conspiracies all the time. The conspiracy at the core of this game also feels a bit weaker compared to other entries in the series, but that might just be down to the escalation in it. The new characters it introduces are all really nice, though.

RGG Studios PLEASE i just want to know if Mikio and Nakahara are doing ok

historia boa, vida tranquila combate tediante.

Esse foi oficialmente o jogo mais antigo da franquia que eu joguei. E assim ele funciona, os gráficos dão pro gasto e não são datados os controles.
História é ok, o que é ótimo nela, assim como todos os outros, são os personagens.
O real PROBLEMA desse jogo é o combate. É só chato, ele nem é difícil, o problema é os inimigos que bloqueiam praticamente todos os ataques que você da, principalmente os chefões. Então ficam lutas incrivelmente longas e sem graças porque você basicamente usa o mesmo combo que funciona um pouco melhor com todos os inimigos do jogo
No final eu já tava ficando cansado desse jogo, confesso que só terminei porque quero jogar os jogos mais recentes com o contexto dos antigos.

Someone called this Yakuza like a dad and I totally agree.
Dogshit combat tho.
