You said it... [spoiler] Streets thugs are the most common enemy types, they sure have an endless supply of French perfume, though.
Other crazy stuff involved scam artists, like say, a woman who screams that she was being groped and then her gorilla accomplice swoons ask for money. Naturally, I told him to suck it.
There's one point where 3 dudes in jogging suits are strolling and if you happen to bump into them, one of 'em will drop and claim that he got injured. If you kick his butt, the next time you bump into them, they have baseball bats and in the third time, they have a bigger posse.
There's another side mission where I'm asked to just stand guard. It almost always involves me kicking someone's head in.
Right now, I don't really know how much of the plot I'm into, but apparentely, three street gangs have come together to basically ransack the Purgatory, beat up all the homeless and take away Haruka.
Most likely it was Nishiki's guys who had the gangs go in and cause a scene. But... I'm not sure...
Could the american Secret Service be involved, because the "Red, White and Blue" gang seems to lack subtly.
