LiK said:Man, even the two previous US covers for the prequels were better. I guess SEGA really wants this to bomb on the shelves....
Release the game in a crowded month with games like Final Fantasy XIII, God of War III and Battlefield: Bad Company 2? Check.
A cover so bad that it's almost impossible to think anyone would approve that, unless the real intention is to have a shitty cover? Check.
This way Sega will reply to the "Bring Yakuza 4 to US/Europe" complaints with a "Yakuza 3 was not profitable, so why bother?".
