Of course they are. Messages you aren't interested in are easy to ignore. Complaining about what other people want to talk about just adds to the noise.

I'm at work now so I can't check it until I get back tonight, but I'll post up the number if someone hasn't done so since. All I can tell from the trophy info is there is more than 80 side missions since you still get a trophy for completing 80 side missions and then another for completing all the side missions.

Agreed. Someone go start the Ryuu ga Gotoku 4 thread already. :lol

Whilst most "official threads" on GAF are pages upon pages of unequivocal, hyperbolic praise (which I too dislike), the amount of posts already in this thread about the cuts is greater than those talking about impressions of the game for anyone who has picked it up.
But when there's almost implied criticism for those who are buying the game now, painting them as uninformed or stupid, I think it's a bit unnecessary.
Sure, I'll ignore the constant "SEGA sux" posts and I expect them to die out when more people have got the game, but when it's constant like it is right now, it doesn't make me feel like discussing the game at all.
Picked the game up yesterday and Gamestop didn't give me the $5 pre-order discount and the receipt had no code for DLC. I called the store and explained the situation to them. The employee I talked with thought I confused the five dollar deposit for a discount, I corrected him and told him to ask someone else. He came back to the phone and told me to come in tomorrow (today now) for my $5 off. I then explained the lack of DLC. He said it was in the box. I explained to him that, in addition to what was in the box, there was supposed to be some Gamestop exclusive DLC for those of us who pre-ordered. He said he knew nothing about it. I'm going to have a hard time getting that DLC code today, I can tell.
I've barely started the game. The aliasing (or shimmer) in the cutscenes is horrible. I don't usually notice such things but in a game so cinematic, it's distracting and annoying. I've been taking Haruka around town. She's a really cute character and it's fun to make her happy. I also like her fast walking animation while holding Kazuma's hand.
Question: In the arcade, Haruka said she wanted me to snag her a calico stuffed cat from the alien abduction game. It took me a long time and I snagged a few other stuffed cats before getting the calico, but she still acts like I didn't win the calico cat. Not wanting to ruin our last day in the city before heading to Okinawa, I quit the game. What am I doing wrong?

Ugh.
I'm still playing Mass Effect 2 and just started playing Bad Company 2. On my table there's a copy of FFXIII waiting to be played as well. And I'm expecting Yakuza 3 to arrive tomorrow. I still haven't played even halfway through Yakuza 2 either and I doubt I will finish it any time soon.
Too much games. I shouldn't have spent those dozens of hours on Geometry Wars a week or two ago.

I don't understand why some "controversial" stuff was cut. Yakuza is the nichest of the niche in the West (although with a competent company at the helm it wouldn't have to be). Controversy would help sales, not hurt them.

These were a few of the side quests I actually did in RGG3. They feature characters that were in the first two games and Kenzan... damn shame that they were removed as they're nothing but wacky fanservice.

On one hand I'm annoyed about the cut content (as a general rule), but I honestly don't think I would have played them (well maybe the Club manager mode). Still, I'm going to have to wait till I have some side cash to get the game.

Yea I was there late last night and when he didn't have codes, I was like WTF?! Came home, opened it up, and it was in there. This leads me to thinking that nomatter where you buy it, it's gonna have the challenge maps? Or it could be GS shipments only.

Some guy on another board posted this:
"Hey ummm all the missions that tie in with the ones cut out... wouldnt those be gone also?
Like Love Letter In A Bottle (Binzume Love Letter)
TIME OF DAY: Day
PREREQUISITES: Finish "A Trip Before Marriage"
or
A Family Full of Love (Aijou Ippai Kazoku)
TIME OF DAY: Any?
PREREQUISITES: Clear "Love's Cupid" mission
STARTING POINT: Northeast corner of the main intersection at Ryukyu and North
Ryukyu"
Anyone know?
Also, those cut missions are apparently all from Chapters 3 and 4. Are there even more cuts in later chapters?

I can't see why they'd specifically target only two chapters for cuts, so um... yeah, there are probably more cut. Like I said, should be interesting to see where this all ends.Chairman Yang said:

I wouldn't mind making an RGG4 thread, but it sounds like a lot of work, and I'm a busy man living on borrowed time!
Yakuza 3 is actually one chapter consisting of a group of white guys eating hamburgers and calling each other mangiacake.

I'm kind of conflicted. On the one end, cut content sucks. On the other, I 100% Yakuza 2 and found it to be a miserable experience. The hostess clubs were awful, awful crap, I was thanking my lucky stars that Mahjong quests weren't required to fight Amon Joe. That being said, losing some actual, regular sidequests is dissapointing, but the game still has a wealth of content, and considering I'm not going to learn japanese any time soon if ever, its my only shot to actually play what's still a fantastic game.
Also, to those of you who're looking to punish Sega via not buying the game, I understand your sentiment, but when scores of people are unable to actually buy the game due to low shipment, it leads me to believe that it's being undershipped to the point that any copy you boycott will just be picked up by someone else, eventually.
