Why the fuck would any publisher pay for Yakuza 5?

Why would the publisher who owns the IP pay for a game to be translated when they have excess money and the game is already made?

 

[Ghost Slayer]

What the hell are you doing, Y2Kev?

The wait for TLG made him mad

 

[Worldshaker]

Between this and the Square-Enix teaser my heart just can't take anymore.

[Y2Kev]

Money laundering? I don't know.

this is actually the best explanation

 

[Atlas157]

The wait for TLG made him mad

I thought he was always mad.

 

[Jomjom]

Why the fuck would any publisher pay for Yakuza 5?

Simple. Because Yakuza is better and more financially viable than Shenmue. And it's not like Yakuza blows up the charts or anything as it is.

 

[Icewear Vezzo]

Sorry, I meant the other games that dev has made.

You thought SOTC was horrid?

 

[Guymelef]

What the hell are you doing, Y2Kev?

The Last Guardian will be revealed, he needs a new fight.

[Akibared]

I won't be able to handle the disappointment if this doesn't happen. ;_;

 

[sora87]

Yu just wanted to have a little forklift race with Cerny and Shu.

 

[ShroudOfFate]

I think Y2Kev got so excited he broke.

 

[Elios83]

check your PMs

Aahaha lol

 

[Vire]

Y2Kev is shook that TLG is actually gonna be shown so he's moving on to the next hopeless fan base.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Shenmue 1 and 2 for iOS and Android.

 

[Y2Kev]

Y2Kev is shook that TLG is actually gonna be shown so he's moving on to the next hopeless fan base.

Can you blame me? It's so easy.

Wait till TLG doesn't get shown tomorrow. The trolling. I can't.

Many of us, including you it seems.

 

[Ishan]

If tlg and shenmue both don't show up .... Some epic rages on gaf

 

[Hawk269]

You thought SOTC was horrid?

Yeah, it just did not click with me. All my IRL think I am insane as well. It was just one of the games that everyone around me loved and I was like "yuck". These same IRL friends give me the look every time I mention Shenmue, so I guess it goes both ways! lol

 

[Petrae]

Guys don't do this to yourself. It happens every year and then every year everyone curses Sega. There's the perfectly good Yakuza series right in front of your faces. Stop neglecting that series!

If Yakuza was on a current-generation console, people might not neglect a new entry. But, with Yakuza 5 appearing on an aged platform with rapidly decreasing relevance, it will be largely neglected.

 

[FarEastOfTengai]

Sony pulls a double "one more thing" at end of show. First Last Gaurdian followed by Shenmue. GAF servers never recover.

 

[HabeeNo]

If tlg and shenmue both don't show up .... Some epic rages on gaf

but... what if BOTH show up?

 

[Kaako]

What the flying fuck lmao. We all gon crash and burn this E3, cannot contain all this.

 

[Kal_El]

Hmm...

What is this conversation that you had with yourself. Did your former self leak something to you?

 

[ShenmueNextGen]

[DXLelouch153]

if both this and TLG show up at E3 i think Kev might need to be replaced as a mod as he might go insane

 

[Yawnier]

Who cares about Shenmue

There's literally dozens of us

DOZENS

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Why the fuck would any publisher pay for Yakuza 5?

Because from what I played of both series, it's just a better game of the same nature.

 

[Pennywise]

The interesting bit about Shenmue at PSX.

Hmm...

lol you're not making this any easier! At least we only have to wait one day to find out :/

Just waiting for the heads to explode on this one.

Shenmue in any form would be great. I'm thinking it'll be Nintendo on this one. Bayonetta revival wasn't solely a financial thing, could see them taking a chance on Shenmue for the hardcore crowd.

SIT YO ASS DOWN

Ryo dlc for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
Fuck you Ryu and Smash.

That was good. But at this time, hoping for Shenmue 3 is like hoping Superman is real. Anyone know a way of going to an alternate reality where Shenmue 3 does exist? And for the fans of the TLG that it is also out and received 10's from every review site on the planet?

 

[wtshaolin]

Am I late?

This is the Mafia 3 thread, right?

 

[Kaako]

Even Y2Kev short circuited...aw hell man. This E3 will be the end of the beginning.

 

[OnionPowder]

Shenmue 1 sold 1.2 million copies. The reason it was unsuccessful is because of Sega.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

the sick truth is i've never even played shenmue. i want to tho cos it looks sik.

i just love to romanticize dead games coming back to life. they usually do.

BELIEVE!

 

[hemo memo]

Hmm...

The poster is not banned yet :O

Everyone raise your believes into the air, give Yu your power.

lol

I was waiting for these responses ;p
Seriously tho, every once in a while I'd look up videos of Shenmue and try to understand why people loved it so much (I even did so before making my comment), and I can't seem to figure it out

Guess it's just one of those games you have to play first

[Bioshocker]

Don't do this to me. Not again.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

So say Shenmue and TLG both get announced does that mean Y2KEV has to move on to trolling F-Zero and Crash Bandicoot fans.

 

[Caipirinha]

lol How many XB1's are there compared to PS4's out in the wild...?

But dude the 15 Xbone owners in Japan will love it!

 

[JDSN]

You people deserve this.


Being let down continuosly, I mean.
