This kind of shit is infuriating.
youre right, people upset over reviews is infuriating
This kind of shit is infuriating.
I guess I'm just worried the assumedly better mechanics of 0 will make it harder to ever return to 4 and 5.. but eh!
Thanks for the reply
I like this.
I do like the cast and the support characters in Yakuza games. They are usually very interesting. Kiryu is also has the biggest heart of gold. he is pretty awesome, and badass.
Haha, thanks. I'm just speaking from the heart because I feel like I know Kamurocho intimately. I can hum the Don Quixote theme perfectly.Yup, Rymuth is on point. While I'm attached af to Kiryu Kazuma, I can easily see another Yakuza game without him behind the steering wheel, the cast of Yakuza's likeable main and side characters is just so rich that it almost feels limitess, on the flip side, I really can't imagine another Shenmue game after Ryo's story comes to a conclusion.
I just hopped in this thread. Did EGM seriously give this game 5/10? How to be factually wrong while giving an opinion, by EGM.
I'll be away for a little while, if anyone else wanted me to add the Yakuza tag for them, PM me and I'll do it when I come back.
Alternatively here is the tag for anyone who has the skills to do it him/herself

not sure if that's really a problem. Yakuza games always had pretty lengthy cutscenes.
I dunno, not my review and I've never played much Metal Gear Solid.
But Yakuza is a bit soap opera in parts, nothing more than about 5 minutes at a time though.
Nagoshi DA GAWD.Haha, thanks. I'm just speaking from the heart because I feel like I know Kamurocho intimately. I can hum the Don Quixote theme perfectly.
Hats off to Lord Nagoshi and co. for this wonderful world.![]()
I just hopped in this thread. Did you seriously just post this?
Any of the reviews mention the performance?
It looked a bit spotty in the GB quick look.
Which is kinda concerning considering this is a PS3 port.
Additionally, everything runs at a consistently smooth 60fps, which is always more important than simply looking pretty.
Its 1988 in Tokyo, the harsh neon glow of a thousand signs and advertisements radiates from all around. Recorded jingles and hokey sound effects emanate from every doorway. A stream of people fills the narrow streets, laughing, flirting, arguing. They move from the pachinko rooms to the hottest new disco or karaoke bar and back again. To the side, down a dark alleyway, lies a man. Beaten and bleeding, he begs for his life. Welcome to Kamurocho, Tokyos red-light district, a place where to be Yakuza is to be royalty.
Btw. is the Yakuza still a thing in Japan?
Absolutely.Btw. is the Yakuza still a thing in Japan?
So you want reviewers to base their scores around what others of their peers think?
I was more weirded out that he started gaming in 2006. I feel old, now.He's not wrong you know .. the author of the review is a fan of the shooter genre as per the blurb below the review. Why would you assign a fan of shooters to review what is essentially a JRPG ?

70 hours played, 60fps 99% of the time. There were some battles where it dropped slightly but it was hard to notice.Any of the reviews mention the performance?

Yes and some of them are fans of the series,Btw. is the Yakuza still a thing in Japan?
Think he means the organized crime varietyNaaah Sega is making Yakuza games only for us. The Western people.

Never played a Yakuza game, so I have no context. For all I know there are 25 minute cutscenes followed by 45 seconds of actual gameplay, hence the question.
They even reviewed Y3 !!Yes and some of them are fans of the series,
no joke.![]()
Two of the three are missing their pinkies — in the old days, when a yakuza or his subordinates screwed up, they chopped off pinkies as an act of atonement — and this seems to affect their gameplay.
The EGM review is probably what most mainstream gamers in the west think about Yakuza. I mean even look at the reviewer he started gaming in 2006 and likes FPS. That's like the majority of gamers on consoles.
I did not! Guess that's the next task at hand for me.

oh no, not the blurb!
It's unlocked byIf you like Majima, it'll be worth it. I think you unlock it by completing the sphere grid.
Kiryu also has one and is unlocked the same way.
It's unlocked bycompleting their respective real estate / cabaret minigames
What does this sarcasm accomplish ? The author states his preferences clearly, this game is the opposite of the genre he enjoys. Give me the best RTS ever and I'll give it a bad score because it's not my preferred genre.
With Kiryu as an example, taking over a section of Kamurocho opens up existing pieces of each skill tree. Taking over all of them unlocksOh my bad. Though doesn't that also unlock the locked off section of the sphere grid?
Meristation is spanish, isn't it?
With Kiryu as an example, taking over a section of Kamurocho opens up existing pieces of each skill tree. Taking over all of them unlocks.the fourth fighting style
which I have no idea how to unlock but suspect the game must be played in legendary mode.That style also has blocks on the outer edges it,
nice, i didnt know you write reviews ill have to check it out
M: Kiryu is the way yakuza used to be. We kept the streets clean. People liked us. We didn't bother ordinary citizens. We respected our bosses. Now, guys like that only exist in video games.
S: I don't know any ex-yakuza running orphanages.
K: There was one a few years ago. A good guy.
M: You sure it wasn't just a tax shelter?
K: Sure it was a tax shelter but he ran it like a legitimate thing. You know.
I love that interview(Translation: I feel sorry for the people who bought the American version. SEGA USA sucks.)
