One look at my profile and you can tell im usually pretty lenient with ratings, and I genuinely can enjoy lots of different games and try to focus on the good rather than the bad. Yakuza 4 uniquely, I cannot. I thought some of the recent reviews here might be a little exaggerated but honestly they might of undersold how poor this game is compared to the rest of the franchise (i havent played 5, 6 or the spinoffs) The new characters are all intriguing but thats kinda the most I can say about it. You dont get enough time to know them, you just sit through contrived and nonsensical plot points strung together by stumbling through a now worn out open world complete with annoying (not difficult, I played on hard and only died a handful of times) and just unfun combat. Anyways I just needed to rant lol. If i talk more about this my head will probably explode. i dont even like writing reviews more than two sentences this is was just that unenjoyable
