Re: Yakuza 3 looks *bleeping* phenomenal

The recap at the start should be good enough to find out what you need to know about the first so go for it,it'll ask if you want to recap when you walk up to the grave. It's a pretty long game if you do all the sidequests,like RPG long.

will the japanese version include english subtitles ? If it does, this will be a definite buy via import.

if that's the case by early march I will be in gaming heaven...

"Kazuma Kiryu returns to clean out Japan's criminal underground in Yakuza 3, but not before a lengthy 5GB install, reports the latest Weekly Famitsu. The install is mandatory, and clocks in at a whopping 5120 MB."

First impressions of Sega's open world mobster title, Yakuza 3, are in. The title has scored 10, 10, 9 and 9 from Famitsu's panel of critics, for a combined score of 38/40...

Also:

...Sega will release a demo on the Japanese PSN tomorrow...

If anyone tries out the demo, post some impressions!

Well, "O" is the move forward button not "X" in the menu and not being able to read Japanese blows.

L1 = block
Tri = Punch
Squ = Kick
X = dodge/slide
O = Grab/throw

Then the pad for weapons
up = Brass knuckles
Right = Chucks
Left = pole
Down = Cig


You ended up in a large battle thats pretty much button mashing, though you must use block now and then. You can grab lamps and chairs to fight with and do face stomps etc..
Player models look great.

So thats about 5 mins of play

Re: Yakuza 3 looks *bleeping* phenomenal

Based on the demo this basically looks like a PS2 game with updated graphics. You're still very limited as to where you can go... And there's text instead of dialogue in many places?!?! You can even see there mouths moving while the text rolls across the screen.



I realize that there's likely a ton of dialogue... But still, that takes quite a bit of luster off what was looking to be a great game. Just goes to show they know how to make a good trailer.

The fighting was still pretty cool though, and I'd still like to see it come to North America.

Every iteration of this game has pissed me off since it hasn't/won't come out on Xbox/360/PC

It's coming the the U.S. March 2010. March is starting to look like a bloated mess with game releases.
