About yakuza 4 and 5
Everywhere I see, almost all people place yakuza 4 and 5 in the middle tiers. I just don't really get it, cuz these two are probably my fav titles. I mean there is so much to do in both the games, 4 and 5 protagonists, so many different maps, not to mention how good the story of both the games are, infact I think its their strongest point. Gameplay wise also, kiryu and saejima both are just broken af (saejima not so much in 4 but still he is a powerhouse if you use him correctly), akiyama is really fun to play as with his kickboxing style, shinada with his different weapons and tanimura with his martial artist parrying kinda style. I especially love 5 because of the batshit crazy fights (100 tojo clan men, the brawl on the top of the tower in bw them 4) and both the games have amazing soundtracks (recieve and bite you, smile venomously, maximum ill luck, collision of our souls, battle for the dream). So I just wanted an explanation on why people don't think of them as strong entries in the series. And Also how can any sane person in the world not love shinada???
