Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties

Mine.

Compared to the rest of the series this game is abysmal ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I think the only game I might say is worse, is the Ishin remake. Mainly because of superpowers, but this probably still takes the cake.

柏木修：我被加特林扫射了，但我妹死。 理查德&峰义孝：我俩从三十多楼跳下去了，但我俩妹死。 刘家龙：我被人一枪爆头了，但我妹死。 李文海：我被车里放的炸弹给炸了，但我妹死。 锦山，丽奈，慎次，立也：？？？？

Requires mods to make bearable as this is the most boring, bugged, unfinished game released by rgg, it's honestly surprising how bad it is considering their other games, just stick to the original

THE GOOD (Why you should buy this): Next-Gen Graphics: This is the peak of the Dragon Engine. You can literally see the pores on their faces and the sweat on their skin. It’s the most visually stunning RGG game to date. Dark Ties (Mine Campaign): Being able to play as Yoshitaka Mine is a dream come true. His boxing-style combat is fluid, impactful, and honestly better than the main story’s combat. Seeing his backstory and how he climbed the Tojo ranks is 10/10 content. QoL Improvements: Finally! You can change costumes during the main story (seeing Kiryu in a suit in Okinawa is a vibe). The Coliseum/Arena battles are also more addictive and challenging than ever. The "Haisai Girls" & Dragon Vibe: The side stories and the atmosphere still capture that classic Yakuza heart. THE BAD (Why I’m screaming): The Ending Retcon: I HATE the new ending. It’s messy and feels like a cheap plot twist. SEGA ruined the emotional weight of the original sacrifice for the sake of fan service. Assassin’s Creed Kiryu: The "Ryukyu Style" with the Tinbe and Rochin (shield and spear) is just... why? It kills the Yakuza lore. Kiryu is a brawler, not a Spartan soldier. It feels out of place and ruins the "Dragon of Dojima" identity. Stripped Mechanics: No "Feel the Heat" system, limited Heat Actions, and the removal of equippable weapons and accessories. It feels like a step backward in terms of RPG depth.

難易度 Professionalでプレイ。(0~8まで全プレイ済) 龍が如く3は元の作品からして桐生（3に関しては『さん』を付ける価値もない）が本当に弱いゲームだったが、そこはリメイクでも変わらず。 通常戦闘 ・敵のガードがやたら硬い ・そもそも桐生のカスタマイズ幅が狭く出せる技も少ない ・上記２つだけで爽快感の欠片もないただボタンを連打するだけのゲームと化している ボス戦（主にサイドストーリー） ・先端でも攻撃が掠るとガードブレイクしてそこから7割体力を持っていくクソ調整 ・こちらの攻撃を無視してスーパーアーマーで上のような技をぶち込んでくる ・あり得ない超反応 『簡単にクリアされるのが悔しい』と言わんばかりの気持ち悪いゲーム。 これ以降リメイクされても多分もう買わない。

bad

Alright remake if you're looking a for a serious game. Unfortunately the remake butchers Yakuza 3's charm by removing 99% of what made the OG game fun. I mean can you do this in the remake? https://youtu.be/xNGRnJ-NFN4?si=hzGqMjfZHZVHRajV
