I actually think this games problems are pretty obvious. I have yet to play the original Yakuza (One day), but even I can tell the presentation here is not even close to the original. From what I have seen, pretty much the only charecter this game does anything new with (that isnt also bad in a way) is Nishiki. He has a gut renching story, which hurts all the more after playing 0 for the first time.

Listen I love Majima but holy shit why is Majima everywhere, its funny for like two seconds and then you look at the upgrade chart.
