Sega reveals some shipment figures from their popular (at least in Japan) Yakuza series.
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."
Handsome Jack Borderlands 2
Andrew Ryan Bioshock
Vaas Montenegro far cry 3
Glados portal 2

No List of good Villains in Video Games is complete without Handsome Jack and Geese Howard. In other words..this list is bs.
Cutscenes pull a game's story together, but sometimes they can be a bit much. These are the longest cutscenes in PlayStation games.

Not the most for me but I certainly appreciate his affinity for the cinematic. It's certainly one of the many reasons his games hit for a certain type of gamer and that combined with unique sometimes obtuse gameplay mechanics makes for one of a kind compelling experiences.
It was only a problem for me with MGS4. I don't mind when long cutscenes are balanced with long gameplay sections. In MGS4 though I'd get a long cutscene, play for like 5 minutes, and then get another long cutscene. That gets annoying, though all the cutscenes were really well done.
Sorry you got so many down votes for being so practical. No one in gaming takes advantage of our time more than Kojima. His cutscenes are our pure drivel and severely hamper the overall enjoyment of what's supposed to be an interactive medium. If the writing was good? Maybe that could be forgiven, but it's not... It's layers and layers of insanity pressed into hour long cutscenes.
Yakuza Kenzan might never be remade and released globally. The developer says it's costly and might not stay true to its roots anymore.
Such a shame. Kenzan with 2022 tech would've been great. Hopefully something changes down the road.
It will happen especially after the success of this remake. Also Yakuza dead souls with today's graphics and technology and update shooter controls would be awesome
Also would y mind some more fist of Northstar games and sequel to binary domain
I wish they would release the Yakuza games in the West in a more timely manner. Or add English subtitles to the Eastern releases and let me import them. Yakuza 3 is awesome but seems a bit dated by the time it comes out here. I've already played the Yakuza 4 demo. It's a great series with a lousy Western release schedule.
thats it.
not bad, they could do another 500k if they release it world wide!!
