i am not the woman i was when i made this account, for one i’m now happily engaged and i don’t thirst after men who live in the tv anymore. that being said okita is rivalling yakuza 0 majima in terms of ‘men made of pixels making me feel insane’ here. so much so, i am convinced this being remastered was a ploy devised by rgg studios bc they saw i’d stopped buying yakuza merchandise and needed to boost their figures, “show that bitch majima with a ponytail again, we need to shift these novelty shot glasses”. jokes on them i’m in my mid-20s now and i dont have the vigour 22 year old me had when it comes to blowing money on stupid bullshit. i want to wander the streets of kyo and lock eyes with okita, i think it’d be like looking at the sun or a really nice photo of a landscape, just pure bliss before he kills me out of fear & confusion bc i’m a white woman in 1800s japan

the “oh heckin pupper” humor wears very thin very quickly and there just… isn’t that much to it beyond that. if they were selling this for $5 i’d be more forgiving but this is a $20 game, and i’m sorry but the excuse of “they’re a small indie team!” i keep seeing on steam just doesn’t track when i’ve played games made by one person that have far more going for them than this.

the game also feels unfinished and unpolished (i straight up couldn’t play using keyboard and mouse because the game kept detecting controllers that weren’t connected). idk maybe they felt the need to release this quickly before the last of the ‘big chonker keanu reeves heckin doggo’ redditors die out but the game really didn’t need to rely on that humor to begin with?? whatever, i finessed the steam refund system once again so i basically played this for free and i’d recommend anyone who really wants to try it out do the same. i also had fun complaining about this to my boyfriend who watched me play it <3
