holy fucking peak, i thought i didnt like 2 but it was just a kiwami problem, kiwami 2 kinda ruins this game, especially with the combat, the combat in this game is great, not yakuza 4 or 5 great, but pretty good for the time, camera is a little jank but thats a small issue, ryuji is such a damn good character and i almost shed a tear near the end, if you're reading this and deciding on if you should play og 2 or kiwami 2, please for the love of god pick this, dont let kiwami 2 sour your experience on this game like it did for me first run through the series

the shooting section fucking sucks
i think this game is pretty good but honestly its pretty hard, maybe cause i didnt upgrade any of my stuff and didnt do any of the training besides komaki, theres probably fun to be had with the side stuff but since i cant read kanji or japanese i wont experience most of it, but pretty fun for the experience, excited to play the remake and understand the story

Holy peak

Exploring the mansion and doing the puzzles just got a little bit much for me, maybe im an idiot but some of them were just annoying, i did enjoy my time with this game tho
2008
this shit is so fun even when it runs at like 20 fps on my pc
This review contains spoilers
immediate thoughts after playing this game is what a way to sour the experience of the game, that entire long battle at the end with the ninjas is possibly one of the worst experiences ive had with this series next to kiwami 2 man in black and my first playthrough of 3, aside from that this game has some major jank but i kinda like this game, i wish there was a fan translation cause i'd really like to completely understand the story without having to watch some videos to get it, even having said all that i think this is one of the best endings and akin to what they wanted to actually do with kiryu (killing him off)

i like this game just wish it wasnt 30 fps and i wish there were more weapons, hoping for a sequel cause this definitely deserves it
2022
this is just a worse version of the first game, 5 people instead of six and some shitty battle pass that takes forever to level up, play tf2 instead
This game is so fun, i didnt have many connection problems, the characters meeting is fucking awesome also the unique gha’s (johnny against valentine…) are incredible

Sucks until you get double finisher, bounding throws and komaki moves

The only lost judgment arcade game that didnt make me want to kill myself, pretty good
need to go back for the platinum

dissapointing, i love 1 and 2 but the online issues at launch just ruined this one, at least with 2 we had a couple years to enjoy the game before the issues became a problem
2021
the fucking combat in this game bro..
