      I know, but to me there’s more good than bad. Even Akiyama’s character is toned down after 4.

      The worst character is still obviously Tanimura acab-3

          I don’t think most people liked his gameplay that much. tbh, it’s kind of a slog at the beginning since his damage output is so bad without weapons. Once you’ve played his baseball minigame and unlocked some unbreakable weapons, it becomes much more fun and pretty unique in the series, since the only other primarily weapon user I can think of is Majima’s Mad Dog style in 0.

            Fair. His combat was pretty meh and difficult but I liked playing as someone who didn’t really feel like a legendary martial artist like Kiryu. He’s just some guy and that part about him felt fun

            Now only if they let Haruka take after her old man and fight people too then Y5 would be the greatest game ever made

              Haruka can just bowl people over on the streets, Kiryu obviously taught her something.

              I would’ve settled for more than three songs for her rhythm fights.
