My order's dispatched, should be here tomorrow. I'm still really excited to play this, but jesus christ Sega's handling of this series borders on the sadistic. You'd think Nagoshi ran over the head of SoA's dog or something.

I just reached chapter 3 and checked, it stills says 000 of 000 on side missions which is of no help! I'll keep playing in case it changes once I get to under take the side missions but otherwise I guess we might not know until someone clears the game? Best I can figure though is that there is more than 80 Side Missions still since you get a trophy for clearing 80 of them and then another trophy for clearing all of them.
On a lighter note the fishing mini game seems really fun and simple not to mention relaxing. Gazing out at the sea while I reel in a broken umbrella :lol

Maybe you need to start or complete a side-mission first before the number will appear.Shadowman16 said:

just noticed the new thread title :lol
just read about all these quests missing as well
D:
man... I ... I still will buy it for a bomba price, but Sega is making it really hard for me despite it being my most wanted needs-to-be-localized-game since its release.
I still remember reading the "lolz who likes dressing girls anyway" comments, but combined the cut content would be enough for another game.
I guess Yakuza 3 is one of the worst game-localisations ever content-wise?

If that. It'll be "?" :lol
I'm def. on Team Not Buying. If I wanted cut content, I'd get in a DeLoren and head back to the 90's.
I'll only buy the English/localized US version when it's $20 or less.

Good to see the support in here, Sega, no excuses with Yakuza 4!
Even some good reviews from media outlets.
I'm playing right now <3

JUst cleared the first side mission and now my completion rate just says 001/001 so it looks like there is no way of knowing how many side missions there are until I m,anage to clear them all.

You people do realize that by not buying it you're totally justifying Sega's apathy towards the franchise, right? So some stuff's cut, it's still a damn good game, well worth the asking price.

I know I must sound like a broken record by now, but this game will not end up at a 'Bomba Price'. You guys are totally welcome to boycot this game, but please don't go spreading the misinformation that this game is gonna end up on the cheap in a month or two. It's just not accurate.
Do you guys really not understand the basic concepts of supply and demand?
Sega was originally planning on not releasing this at all in the US. They then released it due to pressure from the 'vocal minority' of fans. How many copies do you think they printed? You really think they went from "Fuck it, we won't release this" to "What the hell, let's print out hundreds of thousands of copies" ? Best guess is that they printed out exactly how many they thought they could sell, which based on the sales of the first two games is not a fuck of a lot.
This game will be in and out of stores in a heartbeat like most niche, japanese small print-run titles are. Already the anecdotal evidence suggests that it's hard to find this game two days after release.
Check the current Amazon.com prices for Yakuza 1 and 2 before you start spouting off incorrect shit.
Chairman Yang
if he talks about books, you better damn well listen
Sega's too dumb to handle the franchise properly, and Yakuza 3 selling a few tens of thousands copies more isn't going to change that. It's best to assume that this will be the last Yakuza game in English, and make a purchasing decision based on that.Magnus_Bulla said:

What's the right cat in the toy catcher for that girl at the beginning? I got one of them but I don't want to waste all my money trying to get others! :lol

So I played this game for about three hours last night...
And although I can understand the frustration about the cuts, to be honest I'm just happy to be playing the game at all (as I don't speak Japanese).
I'm thinking about restarting the game though, cos I didn't do anything with Haruka in the city at the start (I wasn't sure where I was meant to go with her) and I feel bad :lol
Someone said something about holding her hand when you walk around with her, I didn't even know you could?

They are both under $30 used, and both under $50 New. I think the bargin bin people will be fine. I got Yakuza 1 brand new for $20 in December 09, and got Yakuza 3 brand new for $30 in 2010 (missed it by a day for $20). If I can find Cross Edge and other niche games, I can find Yakuza 3 for cheap 6 + months from now. There's tons of online shops, and PS3 games don't just vanish over night.
This isn't the PS1 era where games hit fucking $200.

Well sorry if I'm wrong about the availability of Yakuza 1 and 2....
Personally, I bought part 2 the first week of release and haven't seen it in a store since. Maybe mileage may vary depending on your location. Yakuza 1 being relatively easy to find makes some sense, as they kind of spent a ton of money on that one and I think expected it to be somewhat of a hit.
Part 2 I assumed they they did a small print run, but maybe they were still holding up hope...
At any rate, I proabbly came off a little harsh. I'm mostly reacting to all these people saying 'it'll be lining bargain bins in few months'. I really don't think it will be. Sega by now given up on this series.

i bet 100$$ that no designer has even walked by the guy who did the cover
its sooo bad i cant believe it. Its magic that they used 300dpi pictures and not 70 for it :lol :lol
My impression of sega as a company is seriously bad after all of this.
SEGA EU/US = useless shit. But i dont know if sega us/eu are to blame only, all of this might be sega jap decision. Wouldnt be the first time a japanese company shows this nosy e "fcuk foreigners that dont understand ouer precious culutre anyway" attitude.
other way arround, sega made hardcore fans give up on the series and that is quiet a achievement

Yes, unfortunately.
Strange it didn't arrive in the mail today. Must be a sign...
30 days to return this abomination that masquerades under the Yakuza 3 title. But thats not what this game is at all it has no relation to the real Yakuza 3 which I was hoping to purchase! With how short the game must be now surely someones past chapter 4? How many more missions is gone? Guess we'll find out more over the weekend!
I heard they cut the tuna out of the game ;_;

I was inspired to start Yakuza 2 last night after picking up number three. I played the first one roughly a year and a half ago.
So I start playing. I sit through the lengthy first game recap to refresh myself and then
and I'm quickly reminded why I love this series.
On a spoilery side note:

shit goes down in the cemetery and I am tasked with finding Ms. Dojima's drunkard son. Upon finding him, Kazuma abruptly punches him right in the face
On a spoilery side note:
Is Haruka's father identified by the end of the first game?

That little girl is EVIL!
Level 25 of that shooter game? :|
LMAO I've spent like 2 hours trailing her around town just to get her friendship meter up or whatever it is :lol
There is just too much to do in Yakuza games as it is!

Granted some of those quests are related to the cut mini-game content, so it would make sense they would also be cut.vocab said:
So I risked a look at the one and only english faq for this game and see theres supposed to be 123 missions right? -10 for hostesses and -9 others currently known? That leaves 104 but the tokyo one is a 3 parter, english 4 parts, and cupid 4 parts so takes us down to 99! Theres trophys for finishing 80 and finishing all of them so we can assume theres between 80 to 99 missions left in right?
