i never expected i'd find a game so bad it made me quit playing the series.

it was unbelievable for me that mischaracterization could happen in canon games. the game always give what's best for the character, right? people are just salty. yet, this is the first time i disagree. whoever decided to interpret kiryu in this game should be jailed.

this isn't the kiryu i've played in previous games, and his behavior makes me cringe sometimes. the romance between him and kaoru made his character worse, if you've played the previous kiwami–you should've known why. it felt like someone's wattpad story get brought into life, this game can't be real lol. i'd like to think rgg was being silly and i liked to throw tomatoes. if you consider kiryu/kaoru a "me and who" thing, you could be an incel in the most derogatory way. they could've written ryuji and kaoru better.

the characterization issue is actually ignorable if you don't care abt the story, then you're here for the combat–i mean, what else? the combat sucks, it really feels incomplete and badly scaled just like the main story itself-it's trying to tell us something yet it just ended up blabbering and the book closed too quickly, the ending was hideous.

everything wasn't so bad at first, but once you reach midgame–you'll become nauseous clicking the buttons to fight and do combos as the rng licked your butt. but i think rgg learned their mistake in future dragon engine games and made the physics match with the combat style.

daigo was pretty in this game though, the substories were fun and i fawking got catfished by it LOL
