Yakuza Game #3 in my quest to catch up on the series.
Despite hearing mixed things I really liked this one, it might be my favorite of the three (0,Kiwami, this) that I've played but I kinda need to think on it a bit. I really ended up enjoying the story I won't get into spoilers but some general thoughts on the plot:
Antagonists were really interesting this time.
I'm getting really attached to Haruka!
I like Kaoru a lot as well!
I got a little emotional at the end and that's always a good sign.
The gameplay in this one took some getting used too, in the beginning its EXTREMELY slow and I missed style switching, however I grew to really love the EXP system and the changes to Heat. Doing multiple heat actions easily was extremely fun and the larger focus on using weapons and the environment was interesting. Tiger Drop didn't feel as nice this time though not really sure why, wasn't bad just didn't feel as good as Kiwami.
Minigames:
CABARET IS BACK MY GOATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I love the Cabaret in this and the little story was cute just like in 0, I really wish they'd make a longer more fleshed out Cabaret mode, even a full game honestly.
Majima Construction/Clan Creator was fun, story was neat, the gameplay was...mostly fun?? after a certain point its just kinda waiting around though, the song is extremely catchy though.
The rest of the minigames weren't anything crazy, I like Karoke a lot more in this one, UFO Catcher is actually awful in this though.
Excited to start 3 Remaster soon!
