its got its narrative and gameplay issues but overall i liked it a lot more than i thought i would! pretty damn good entry to the series and that final cutscene hit me pretty hard as a final farewell to kiryu (though holy shit was it almost overshadowed by one of the funniest things to ever be written in a yakuza game beforehand)

if i could sum this game up in a phrase... let's just say a wiser man than i once said "sometimes the midpack do be hittin"
