Is anyone here a fan of Yakuza? I've been playing through the first game, and I'm excited to see how the series evolves from here.

Also,

>Zero doesn't look like it has much of a chance either, considering SEGA is shifting focus to mobile and PC
What an absolute shame, I could see the ancient Japan spinoffs being branded with the "Like a Dragon" name and bundled together for western audiences.

Fuck yeah I love Yakuza. It's one of my favorite series.

I read somewhere that according to some leak Yakuza 0 actually is getting localized. Probably sometime after Yakuza 5 comes out here.

Also, seriously, anyone who reads this. Fucking buy Yakuza 5. It's digital download-only on PSN because they think it won't sell well. Prove them wrong. Buy good games, faggots.

I emulated Yakuza 1 and 2 and absolutely loved them. I got 3 but never got around to playing it much unfortunately. I'll have to go back to it soon.

I think I played a demo on my PS3 a ways back of a Yakuza game, and I really just couldn't get into it. The combat felt really boring to me, and I can't remember if you did anything else in the demo but 2-3 fight scenes. Is Yakuza so big because of the story? I can't imagine it's because the gameplay is hailed. The animations on the special moves were fine I guess, but nothing to write home about. Am I missing some big "thing" here or what?

I'm not wild about some of the story elements I've heard of in 5, but I'll buy it anyway. I loved 1-4 and beat them all, so I owe the series that much.

Still working on my moon runes so that I can someday play Kenzan.

Not a big fan of digital-only releases myself, especially paying full price for them. Is Sega at least charging a bit less than usual for it since there's no physical print to be done on their end, or are they charging $60 as is?

On that note, I kind of wish some of these companies might do some sort of "first print only" physical print. That way if they're leery about sales being low, they could print up as many as is demand at the time of release, and people that are interested in the games right off the bat could have the physical copies they want.

Digital-only i may say, sorry
Having a physical copy to justify a digital one

Go on and laugh, i sometimes laugh at how stupid that sounds and even more at how much money i spend on doing that but i feel empty knowing i have a game i don't possess and can't feel in my grasp

Also the artwork looks nice, see Tokyo Jungle

The game is a lot slower than a lot of 3D action games, and some of the finer details aren't readily apparent. It's not the best combat system out there, but the structure of the game is what holds it up.

It's not for everyone, and you're justified for disliking it.
