Fuck re-learning/remembering how to play Shogi/mahjong & w/e other minigames they've brought back just for one little sidestory, cheat item all the way. Granted, they have got better presenting the minigames+rules for western audiences in newer releases; iirc original Y2 Shogi you had a low-resolution squiggle on the pieces with no little red letters on the pieces to help you out. So in that regard, the modern entries are probably more paleteable in terms of learning the more intricate minigames.
I appreciate the minigames being there for those that enjoy them and applaud the variety, but I cannot be bothered reading through 15 odd pages of mahjong "basics" just for one substory personally.

Yakuza 5
A massive entry in the series that offers a plethora of minigames/activities for the player to engage with. This entry does a great job of tethering some narrative to these activities to make them worthwhile to players who would otherwise skip them if they lacked it. Further, Y5 does a fantastic job of developing its supporting cast, such that the smaller character arcs outweigh the otherwise flimsy major conflict of the story (I found all our heroes' individual stories to be fully entertaining and full of the heart/charm I've grown so fond of in this series). I found the combat to be as enjoyable as it was in 4, i.e. on the easier side with fewer aggravating enemies that would incessantly block. I did take issue with a many of the Heat actions being quite lengthy and pretty silly (e.g. Kiryu smearing face on concrete, Saejima's snowman, Shinada's pretty unimpressive wrestling KOs, and Akiyama's lengthy kicking ones). Visually, 5 is a great improvement on 3 and 4, and I noticed that the cutscenes exhibited more cinematic flourishes with camera movement, foreshadowing just how well the action would flow from cutscene to gameplay in the later entries in the series. In sum, Y5 is a behemoth of an entry, so long as you remember to partake in the aspects of the game that you enjoy, and not make yourself sick by forcing content that doesn't resonate with you, you should have a great time. I myself look forward to having only one protagonist and great focus on one location in the next entry.
OCD: I'm going to clean up the last few substories before I uninstall, but I already see that it's a pain the ass having to switch character then taking the taxi to wherever you need to go.
Rankings: 7>0>K2>5>3>K1>4

Cool. Now mind explaining the game?
Yup, I got it on Steam. So far, so good. Turn-based was a shock to the system at first, but I'm now digging it. The mini-games are great in it. I am missing Kiryu somewhat (Ichiban is very likeable protagonist though) and the game sorta feels like Homeless Simulator at times early on, but I'm not even half way through yet and I'm sure it'll pick up.
boycotting everything RGG studio does until judge eyes is on pc. fucking chuuni bastard nagoya will pay!

Well, iirc there was even animu where yakuza boss ordered his subordinate to cut OTHER little finger and become a woman as punishment.
Ok.

You only need numbers for 4-9 manzu, the problem is knowing the hands.
Very well, almost done with cabaret and unlocked majima epic quest.
Mahjong AI in this game is piss easy. (well, i never played majhong vs AI before, i play online in mahjong soul)
Well, gotta get money to buy kiryu-chan some helping souvenirs (or not, made 50 mil from cabaret).
Holy damn majima is WAY STRONGER than kiryu, 3 times faster.
Still. the karaoke don't have cinderella, my disappointment is IMMEASURABLE.
