I like 5 but I think Shinada's part is the best part and the other parts have ups and downs Also its much harder to get people to play an 80 hour game that's the 5th entry in a series Shinada's story is almost completely cut off from the rest of the story, can stand on its own

his combat is easily the worst though, which is the other problem

Sounds like someone didn't understand how to use Shinada's because you're wrong lmao

Tbh i feels like he gets the more points for being creative than being actually great, like the parry grab is mostly unreliable since the enemies get out of your grip so quickly in this game Alongside the way he uses some weapons being pretty hit or miss (fr exampl swords and poles being pretty bad)

I just didn't find his weapon focus to be very engaging, and while I think it's cute he refuses to use a bat for combat it's also the most plentiful good weapon to use so it's just kinda annoying.
