Sega seems to have cut from Yakuza 3 quite a lot more than what they initially said.
Sega PR claimed that the game was to be released as "99% intact", but the claim proved false.
21 sub-quests have been removed in the western versions and one girl that the main character could originally date didn't make the cut.
The complete list, posted on the Sega official forums, has been welcomed (so far) by the awkward silence from the Sega PR team.
GF365: "For a story to be compelling and engaging, a great villain is mandatory in most cases – be it a novel, movie, or video game. Of course, there’s a multitude of wonderful, brilliantly written villains in video games. Do keep in mind that this is our opinion. So, here’s our list of the best villains in video games, ranked in no particular order. We’re limiting our list to games since 2005."
Includes Yakuza: Like A Dragon and the entire Kazuma Kiryu saga.
I already own all these digital+physical.So good to see more people will get to enjoy them.
Wonder why Fist of North Star isnt being added
It's early days but this new service is looking better and better. The full Yakuza series! And with the monthly games this month too. Fantastic month
That was the only Yakuza game I was missing. Might be the best month of all time for me.
With RGG in the mainstream spotlight, about to complete their first simultaneous worldwide release, let's take a look back and rank the Yakuza games.
I just could not get into like a dragon I love Yakuza series but when they went with turn based combat it just was not for me. I hope future entries go back to its original roots or at least every now and then have a game where is real Time brawler combat
We do have judgement so at least there are other similar games being made by same developers
I’m sorry but no way is like a dragon better than Yakuza 0, 4,5, or 6. It’s different with a lighter hearted tone a lot of times. Plenty of slapstick and jokes. It literally feels like a DLC compared to the main Yakuza games. Unless you simply don’t like action games maybe… but going through the underground arenas, fighting the mini bosses randomly on the streets on different games for money or exp (like the guy in the gold suit for example). Not to mention the mini games, which Like a dragon has some too, but not as good as most other Yakuzas. Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing Yakuza from the beginning. It’s like the metal gear rpg/card collector that was on PSP or Vita. It was a cool game and a lot of fun, but it wasn’t a METAL GEAR. It was fun for what it was. I don’t believe this person actually played through all the Yakuzas. Probably gamepassed like a dragon and dabbled in the others to get an idea.
There are a few I haven't played so I am replaying and playing through them now on GP.
I did like Like a Dragon, it kept the feel of the games, but I got bored of the combat about halfway in. It was the easiest RPG I've ever played.
If I remember correctly - Eri, lower defence move for all. Ichiban - Mega bat. Every fight over in seconds.
I'm currently playing Yakuza 0 and so far it's the best game I played this year.
The cuts are disappointing, but in the end people aren't even going to miss it or know that it's missing. I mean, people that played through the Japanese version might, or people who scour the internet trying to get every detail on the game, but really, other than the disappointing knowledge of knowing that some content was cut, you're just simply not going to miss it, you're never going to feel like the game isn't big enough as it is. The game is still absolutely huge and most players will stop playing long before they've gotten 100% completion. I've got about 6 hours into it right now and less than 2% completion according to the in-game play stats.
this will be DLC
Maybe they should have cut the price along with it. Considering this is a near 3 year old game, and a little title named God of War 3 is on the way, whats the point.
Awkward silence is what the Sega PR team is famous for.
Why did they cut it in the first place?
