Sega's third entry in the Ryu ga Gotoku (aka Yakuza) series has become the company's biggest hit so far on the PlayStation 3 in Japan and one of the fastest selling titles so far for the format.
The game sold around 181,000 units in its first week, which includes copies sold as part of a new hardware bundle for the PlayStation 3. Although retaining many of the same gameplay mechanics as the first two games, the PS3 exclusive is set in the 17th century, rather than contemporary Japan.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Everyone who Bought it had a really postive impressions, and not to mention its the Longest game on PS3 , 40hrs long without doing side quests and mini games
and from my Experience with the demo , this is a must buy
now sega please release it in the US
the 1st is out, but not the second
yakuza 2 will be coming soon in us
No suprise here, I'll try the demo.
Unfortunately even with the bundle PS3 sales were only up about 8k units last week. I think Sony may need to get cracking on a PS3 slim to revitalize Japan sales as they did with the PSP slim. The games just aren't doing it. GT Prologue, Disgaea 3, DMC 4 and Yakuza none of them have given the PS3 any prolonged sales boost. I think Sony really needs a ps3 slim out by the time Final Fantasy 13 releases. I don't think its a secret that the Japanese like their gadgets small and the way the PSP has skyrocketed in Japan since the redesign is just more proof of this.
