Because: -petitions never work -that link is essentially advertising to firms to hire them for translation work Given that Sega killed their in-house translation teams earlier in the year, it needs a small miracle and another publisher to see Y5 in the West. I'm not holding out much hope. |

I gave up on 4 after my PS3 went tits up. I have a new PS3 now, but can't be bothered to start from scratch. I loved the detail, the fighting, but there seemed at times way to much talking. I played 3 on the PS2, got as far as the funeral, and reached a point i couldn't fight my way out of, due to to lo energy.
Yakuza 4 is brilliant, superb characters, entertaining story, hugely atmospheric and combat is a blast. It can be picked up for buttons, definitely a must to at least try it IMO.
Maybe I should give 5 ago. I've just completed Sleeping Dogs, and that was a blast. I kept thinking, imagine how good Sleeping Dogs could have been if it contained the same level of detail as Yakuza, and the code that runs the cars during GTA IV - dream on..

Registered 15 years ago@Armoured_Bear - I guess localising Yakuza 5 is a massive job. I'm still hoping it might happen.
I'm off to Japan in October, and if no solid news has surfaced by then I'm tempted to pick up both Yakuza 5 and Ishin. I just have my fingers crossed it doesn't come to that, because I can't read a word of Japanese.

Registered 15 years agoI TAKE IT ALL BACK ! REJOICE ! REJOICE BROTHERS AND SISTERS !
Ahem.
See ? This is what happens when I'm busy dealing with trains full of drunks, I miss an announcement that gives me something to look forward to. I only worry how much they may cut ala Y3......
What ?
Sega have regained some cred with this and the VC release, but I'm still sceptical. -

Never played a yakuza game. I recently bought another ps3 as well as I did miss a lot of the games I had on digital. -
@FishCanSwim
Yeah I've always liked the look of them but for some reason never bought one. I might have to try yakuza 4 out. -
Mmmm yakuza 4 is $19.99 on psn store. Is it worth a punt then? -

Registered 15 years agoIt's the more 'complete' experience of the 2 mainline games currently available in English (and I don't think Y3 is available digitally). I haven't played it yet as only up to 3 in my current chronological playthrough

Thing is with never playing any of them before will I be totally lost by the past story etc. -

Registered 16 years agoYakuza 4 was the first one I had ever played and it was simple enough to pick up. You'll probably spend most of your time trying to woo hostesses any way... -

It's the only one I've played and was fine standalone. -
Is dead souls any good as well? See really mixed reviews for that. Most user reviews seem to like it. -
Think I'll get yakuza 4 then. Looks great fun from the video reviews -

Yakuza 4 has brief story recaps of the first three games, so if you watch those you'll be fine. Continuity is arguably not as important in Yakuza 4 as it was in the previous two games because it introduces three brand new playable characters, each with their own stories. The protagonist of the first three games doesn't appear until later.

@addyb No problem. PM me your details and I'll get it out to you next week!
