VG247: Sega Europe's told VG247 this morning that it has "no current plans" to bring Yakuza 3 to the territory.
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.
Valkyria Chronicle 2 on PSP instead of PS3 ( I want it on my 40", don' t blame me PSP owners ;P ), and now no Yakuza 3 ... I' m very, very disappointed. Sega sucks.
Current=/=Planned, and Europe is kind of the last stop for Japanese games.
well Sega America better plan for it
the best game I like that come from Sega are the ones that sell the least? Shenmue and now Yakuza, I'll never know what happens.
1. Lets make Shenmue 1 and put it on our brand new system called the dreamcast. Forget the fact it cost 70mil to make and forget the fact every single dreamcast owner needed to buy 2 copies to break even....
2. Lets port over Shenmue 2 to the xbox (a brand new system from a company who is barely getting into the console business) when barely anybody owned that system yet alone it was a fps console. Lets forget the fact tons of people imported dreamcast version cuz we took forever to bring it to the states...and we're gonna skip out on the ps2 which is the bigger base and for games of that nature. So we're gonna act like the game was given a fair opportunity to sell big.
3. Hey, we're sega....lets localize yakuza 2 to the ps2 2yrs after the game originally came out. And lets bring it over there at a time when almost everybody has jumped on to the next-gen consoles....So when people ask us for a localized yakuza 3..we're just gonna say yakuza 2 didnt sell well so we're not bringing it over.
4. Oh you guys want more Sonic...you got it :) We will continue to bring more crappy sonic games to you.
SEGA always makes terrible decisions...this is nothing new
