Sega, you ****ers, you announce the game after I spent 80 plus bucks on importing this game...

What type of game is it anyways? Fighting but with asian people?

It's a massive game with tons of side activities. I'd compare it to shenmue minus quick time events.

No PC version?

After more than 20 years, from this day forth, I am no longer a fan of SEGA. I'm still waiting on Condemned 2 [PC] you stupid bastards. You shall rue this day.

Is Yakuza 3 any good?

 

[Wanted Bob]

Ive heard great things about the series, never played one though.

 

[VictimOfScience]

Yes. This is awesome news. I was hoping it would only be a matter of time after playing and loving the demo, not to mention the first 2 games. This will be INSANE. I hope they keep the Japanese audio track though. Not sure if those details have been revealed yet, but they likely will later this week at TGS!! :thumbs:

What kinda gane is Yakuza? An open-world brawler?

Essentially yes. Feels like a weird mix of brawler, RPG, and adventure. It also creates some of the best atmosphere ever, really immersing you in the world of the Yakuza in Japan. Do you expect anything less from the "spiritual successor" to the Shenmue series? :E These games have always been WAY more immersive than any of the GTAs to date.

 

[jimbo118]

Yeah from what I read of the Eurogamer review the world seems far more alive than the GTAs of this world. Also, spiritual successor to Shenmue? WANT.

Tally it up as another reason to finally buckle down and buy a PS3. About damn time!
