The Saejima chapter is going to make me scream. It just keeps going. It's a Yakuza game where you ride a snowmobile then fistfight an actual bearagony-shrooms . How did they make this part so tedious

(this is my second time through the game)

    Osaka is my favorite setting, so I forgive those parts. I love that city. I've been to Dotonbori in real life and just pointed at Yakuza things while soyfacing.

    Yakuza 5 was trying to be huge but I think maybe there was pressure from Sega to be as huge as something like GTA. But that results in just a bunch of little diversions everywhere, like do I really need to do a mandatory snowball fight? Do I really need to visit every single restaurant in Japan? I gotta visit multiple times too so I figure out if the karage or the donburi gives me the heat meter boost.

    I love this game, and it's probably my favorite one just for the Kiryu parts alone. I don't even mind the Haruka chapters, although Akiyama being there suddenly always feels forced.
