Well, i can only speak for myself, but i think they generally do a good job with the stories and characters. That combined with the shenmue-esque exploration and minigames just makes for a fun time. Though i can certainly understand why some people might not like them as well. If you can't get in to the yakuza drama aspect, i don't think there's much for you here.
But basically, it's a story driven action game, and it tells a kind of story that i've never seen in a game before. If that sounds appealing to you, i'd suggest checking out maybe Yakuza 4 or, if you aren't picky with the graphics, Yakuza 2 on PS2.

Instead people consult the oracles on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. All of them with bastardised and warped views of the world driven by decades of repressed bigotry as a hand me down at dinner. (23 Hours ago)

Look at what we've done with it instead. And you're 100% correct about the public now paying more through taxes and tariffs. That would have been obvious to anyone with a modicum of education (1 Day ago)

What's alarming with these two things is that on their own, they're two amazing things. The internet should have been a great gift to humanity in driving it forward. (1 Day ago)
