Yakuza Zero

[Demi-fiend]

They'd better release this stateside -- seriously SEGA, make it happen. For both Yakuza Ishin and this entry as well.

Whatever. I just hope they make the right decision and don't make us wait forever like they're doing with Ishin.

No chances for oversea release probably. :/

I've never played any of the Yakuza games, not really interested to start now. Not my cup of tea.

I was once a huge Yakuza fan not to long ago.

But Sega idiocy with not wanting to release Yakuza games stateside because of the failure of Yakuza Dead souls (which was a freaken sidegame) I have all but lost hope and interest in the series.

Nice work Sega.....I may get back into the series IF they finally get their **** together and releases Yakuza 5 and Yakuza Inshin stateside.

It same thing with Sengoku Basara. Game sold better overseas, but since it didn't achieved millions of sales they just decide to make it "japan-only"

 

[Innsmouth]

Aaaaand its coming overseas

I'd be cheering, if only it wasn't for the small detail that only the PS4 very is coming over, not the PS3.

Excuse me, I'll be over in the corner, crying.

 

[Innsmouth]

sry but it probably only way we getting it

 

[DragonMaster2010]

That's cool. Maybe I'll actually give it a go. Can anyone tell me what the game is basically about? Gameplay and story?

 

[Lain]

Basically it's about a Yakuza family called the Dojima clan during 1988. Two men will become legends from that clan, Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima. It's a prequel so you don't really need to know anything else really.

 

[Innsmouth]

from gameplay its kinda like action RPG mixed with beat-em-up

@DragonMaster2010

I think this guy sums up the game best, both in story and in gameplay.

I'm not too crazy about hyperbit, so I don't think I'll watch this particular vid.

I know, I'm not a huge fan of him either. But he does do a good job of explaining how 0 differs from it's predecessors.

From the 0 demo, this is far and away my favourite karaoke song.

 

[Demi-fiend]

True. For as much as I dislike him, his first YZA retrospective was interesting enough to watch.

I just didn't want to give him any more views out of spite.

 

[Lain]

Once 0 and Kiwami come in the post, and if I can ever get 5 working then I'll have played main game except for the upcoming #6. I'm still debating on whether or not to get Ishin.

Also, I love the opening theme to 0. It's so cool!

 

[Lain]

Bad news: I cannot play Yakuza 5 even though I bought it because of technical issues with my PS3.

Good news: My copies of Yakuza 0 and Kiwami have finally arrived. :thumbsup:

 

[Demi-fiend]

I'm so glad these two games are keeping at least some interest in the PS3.
