MODERATORS
this, among other reason, is why I disregard anything outside of Y0-Y5 as not canon. Excluding everything outside of 1988-2012 keeps the canon good
spoiler about Majima
I really try to ignore Majima beating his ex-wife in Y5 and I wish it weren't canon. Especially because it's over how she had an abortion. That seemed really out of character, even though Majima was presented as being more sinister prior to Y0. Although he does kidnap Haruka in Y1? I think the writers would flip-flop on how morally ambiguous the characters are supposed to be if they're supposedly these hardened gangsters who commit crimes, but they're also these wacky lovable doofs who sing karaoke and race toy cars.
I still hold Y5 as the best game, despite all of that. I love that the climax involves four characters trying to coax the evil mastermind out of hiding by having a fist fight on top of the tower. "If we take off our shirts and have a cool karate fight on the helipad the bad guy will simply appear like always."
ugh. i completely forgot about that part of Majima in y5. I guess it was so bad my brain deliberately forgot about it
Most people tend to ignore Akiyama and his ”poor people just don't work hard enough” garbage when talking about the worst characters in the series.
god there really is a lot of rose tinted glasses wearing i do for this series, huh?
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
yeah fuck tanimura. at least they replaced him for Shinada in the next game though
god i miss that guy. How come he's never come back?
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.
