Where to start with this one... The story is so good and gripping it had me on the edge of my seat constantly with so many twists and turn and it honestly felt like i was being edged constantly. It is truly a shame this game has not yet gotten a remake with how good its story is. Even just playing this game on hard it was a slog and one of the worst experience I've had with Yakuza's combat systems. Having dabbled in Yakuza 1 for the PS2 I have an appreciation of what this game was for the time it is absolutely an evoltion of those games but coming off the heels of kiwami 2? Such a step down in quality in terms of combat made me saying "I want to kill myself" "I want to quit" "I want to stop playing" "God help me with this bullshit" more times than i can even count. If this game got a competent remake without 20 dollar new game plus DLC it could honestly be one of the best game in the entire series in my opinion.
