Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Already Had a Near Perfect Ending to His Arc That Got Pulled Back Out of Retirement for a Slapped Together DLC Masquerading as a Game With the Worst Combat the Series Has Had Since the Dragon Engine Was First Used and the Worst World the Series Has Ever Had Because It’s Just Sotenbori but Also Doesn’t Have Substories Organically Designed Into the World and Instead You Just Pick Them From a Menu Screen and it Requires You to Do Shitty Busy Work to Unlock New Ones Which Makes the World Feel Lifeless and Like It’s Made of Cardboard Also Guys I’m Starting to Think That This Series Is Going to Go the Way of Guitar Hero if RGG Keeps Shitting These Things Out

Update: I finished the game and the ending was fine. Good performance from Kiryu but this is the third time they’ve done the general idea of this ending. Also I couldn’t shake the feeling that the events written to set it up felt very contrived.

Was not worth the mountain of shit I had to get through to see it.

The frequency is alarming. Can you think of any series that has maintained quality with so much volume?

Crazy how this game has one of the best finales in the series but you need to trudge through a mountain of horseshit to get to it. At least the demo for 8 makes it seem like it'll be a great game.
