Players are disappointed due to a decline in game quality, including uncomfortable visual effects, reduced side missions, and tedious sidestories. The changes to the story and direction of the series, along with bland combat and annoying upgrades, have also contributed to this sentiment.
Frequent game crashes, performance issues, and bugs are major sources of frustration. Additionally, the reduction in side missions, poor quality of the remaster, and issues with lighting, filters, and textures have exacerbated this feeling.
Players are angry about the removal of favorite side quests, frequent crashing issues, and the delisting of the original Yakuza 3 Remastered. The perceived poor quality of the game's voice acting and game systems, as well as the use of Denuvo anti-tamper, have also fueled this anger.
Despite some flaws, players are enjoying the game due to improved combat and graphics, a fun and engaging combat system, and intelligent enemies. The overall enjoyment of combat, sub-stories, and soundtrack has contributed to this positive sentiment.
Players are excited about the improved combat, return of mini-games, and new fighting mechanics. The quality of the new chapter and future expectations, as well as the Very Easy mode and cooperative play, have also generated excitement.
