word?! =)
these can be 25 hour game or 200 hour games. you get what you want out of them.100 hours? I'm cancelling my preorder.
Why isn't the game available on Amazon UK?
Because the demand is higher than they thought.Why isn't the game available on Amazon UK?

Yeah I didn't go into the treatment of women in this game in my review, cause it felt like an entire article on it's own. Catfighting is pretty fucking ridiculous though. Japan is just an entirely different beast.
Now that its been 10 years, are there any expectations that have changed from the start? From the very first Yakuza game, there was always the challenge of making a CERO D (ages 17 and above) but did you expect for it to be as well-received as it is now?
Its a title with impact, so I believed that those who would follow would continue doing so. Other than that, I also believed that those who followed with it would quickly become hardcore fans. Thas a tendency that still hasnt changed much. What was unexpected was that the number of female players has increased. Currently, about 20% are female players.
While that is something to be happy for, Yakuza is something that is made for male players, so we will be careful not to be too conscious of the female users and derail from what we want to make. Lately, theres been a lot more players from Asia as well. That means we need to appeal more to Asia, but not focus too much on that, too.

Man, these January releases are killing me. After overspending on games significantly through October/November/December, and knowing that I'll be overspending again in February/March, I tried to be responsible and only buy one game in January. I decided on RE7 after really enjoying the demo, but now the reviews of both Yakuza 0 and Gravity Rush 2 are starting to work their magic on my self-discipline. I mean, the remaster of Yakuza 1 comes out in NA in Summer, right? It's only rational that I buy and play through the prequel now??
i am actually very interested to see if the west would tackle this matter or not or if it's even possible. considering the subject matter and focus of the yakuza series. that it's always been made for the japanese male gamer, and it's that it's about the japanese mafia which is indeed male dominated.
while folks say that inclusion is always a good thing, how does that work into this framework?
nagoshi recognizes the series for what it is and sticks to his guns regardless.

OT' is up! come show your love!
Is GameSpot dying? I'm pretty surprised at the amount of views.
Yeah, Gamespot is kind of irrelevant. They just lost all their "new blood" talent too, so who even knows who is there nowadays.
This could honestly grab me if I've never played Yakuza before?

Isn’t beast meant to be used with weapons you pick up off the ground? I find myself never using beast.OT is locked but this isn't so... Just finished this, it's shorter than I expected. There's little of note outside the (pretty cool) main story and I found myself only using one fighting style (despite upgrading equally), Beast for Kiryu and Slugger for Majima as they seemed the most effective. 8/10

I finished it in ~35, granted without spending much time in stuff like the management but I didn't feel compelled to for any reason, same for stuff like fishing or building up my friendship with the people that let you transfer money back and forth as I always seemed to have plenty with both characters, and I was coming off Like a Dragon which took me ~80 hours. That one had a lot more actual side quests (at least like the little girl calling you daddy in this one, not just strangers needing help, or maybe I'd do more of those too if there was an overarching goal like in the Hero missions of Like a Dragon and they were finite and unique rather than randomly generated) and things to do beyond the mini games and standard encounters and even management was more important as it gave you another party member to build up (but it's not like that took a good chunk of that time, maybe a couple hours, I didn't max it, I didn't exhaust fluff side tasks in that game either, far from it). I might go back to both games to do more side stuff but with the story all told and not much story to those tasks beyond getting the money to max out your fighting styles or in Like a Dragon new gear I'm not very motivated. Moving on to probably Kiwami 2 for now as I've played the original first game but not the sequel.60+ hours is short?
