I enjoy these games. Sometimes, I even pretend I'm playing Shenmue 3. *SEGA sigh*

I enjoy Yakuza far more than Shenmue. How about them apples?

@Cleric I always wash an apple before I eat it. That's cool though. Shenmue is a very special game to me. I understand not everyone will feel that way, too. Yakuza is the closet thing I get to a Ryo Hazuki right now. I really like the Asian scene with both games (if that makes sense outside my head). I love Asian culture so having these games is great.

@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Asian culture as a whole (or at least those I have knowledge of). "World Culture" involves the "cultures" of the world, so my use of "Asian Culture" considers more than one. I think you took me not using the plural of "cultures" too far. Regardless, you definitely took it the wrong way.

I feel like I've been in a coma or something- I didn't know there was a Yakuza 2 or 3, let alone Yakuza 4!

From what I understand, the only thing cut is the trivia gameshow. One, because it's obscure Japanese trivia that hardly anyone outside of Japan would know, and two, because it features a lot of pretty kanji graphics which would be a nightmare to replace

I'm passing on Virtua Tennis 4, because the table tennis in Yakuza 4 is far more "titillating."

@SEGA Scream
Besides, you only need so many games with the numeral "4" in them.

Hey Sega, make Yakuza 1 & 2 bundled on a single Blu-ray with updated graphics and trophies just like the other collections out there, I'll pay $60, even though those collections sells at $40 each.

Cannot wait for Yakuza 4 :)

Funny, I was just thinking how all trolls troll the same way.

In the first Yakuza, they would just just drug me and take my money. If I play this I will stay away from women. You think there might be a titillating screen at the end of the "go for it" conversation choice but it always ends in pain. I guess it is like real life.

So what's this game about? A dating sim?

Loved Yakuza 3, and while I hear Yakuza 4 is largely unchanged in terms of the core experience, I'll still be sure to pick it up, even just because of the story.

Still, I can only hope in the future that it takes a few pages out of Western RPGs when it comes to fully voiced conversations and branching dialogue options.

Heh... it seems like only yesterday us goofy Yakuza fanboys assembled en masse on Sega's NA Yakuza 3 forum to bitch and whine about everything that was removed for localization.

AWESOME!

I just finished Yakuza 3 maybe a month or two ago. Totally pumped for 4.
