I'm just starting Yakuza 4, and I'm loving it. This is my first Yakuza game, but I already can't wait for the HD remasters to play afterward. I love the sense of humor injected into the games pretty serious (and for the most part, well-written) story. It's an undeniably unique experience, and I feel like I've been missing out on something great all these years.
this looks like one of those jammer lammy like rhythm games that utilizes the face buttons... i hate those they feel so stilted and boring. Then again this is Yakuza, so i guess stilted and boring is part of the overall package.
So yeah, that settles it. I'm SO getting this Day 1.
As always with the Yakuza franchise on the west, we now await for confirmation from SEGA that the game is being localized WITHOUT any content being cut because of "cultural differences".

I'm gonna be brutally honest with this one. Hate and flame me if you'd like.
I'm a long time fan of this series, preordered and bought every single game in the series. And for the most part have enjoyed them.
That said, this series is so goddamn archaic that I find myself caring less and less with every new iteration. But still I've been trucking on, and even looking forward to this next installment...but then something happened.
That something was called Sleeping Dogs. Sleeping Dogs may not be exactly like Yakuza, but it showed me how the type of Game Yakuza is trying to be SHOULD be made. Seamless martial arts action, no stupid RPG encounter like exploration to fight transitions. That means a lot.
I still like Yakuza, but after Sleeping Dogs I just care that much less for the series.

Is this a minigame, or will you be walking around town and some random group of delinquent girls challenges you to a dance off?
And this is why Sega is in massive financial trouble. They have no fucking clue what they're doing anymore.
As someone who has spent so many hours into Yakuza and Project Diva this is a great selling point to me. Sega doesn't want me to finish college.
I hope they won't cut shit out again, because "we won't get it" - anyone who is still with Yakuza is most probably big into Japan, he more or less knows, among other stuff, how the "idol" thing works and he buys the games for setting and atmosphere more than anything else - ergo please, don't cut anything out again...
I just started playing Yakuza 3 and I'm still wondering where the hell Kazuma keeps his secret gym to maintain that amazing body. Or was he lifting the kids? :X
Eh. I am less excite about this game now. And I thought it was an instant pre-order too. However, if they announce expanded Mahjong gameplay, I'm so back in.
Sleeping Dogs is great, I am enjoying it thoroughly. However, the last thing I want is Yakuza: Grand Theft Auto Edition. I like the RPG style of encounter, I like the leveling up system; these are all things that make the Yakuza series desirable in my opinion.
More importantly; I don't want a watered down combat system. Sleeping Dogs has a fluid combat engine, I will give it that; but it is also a brain dead simple combat engine. It is Dynasty Warriors with a counter button. I don't think it is anywhere near as dynamic or interesting as the Yakuza combat style.
So yeah, keep the GTA out of my Yakuza please. If you have grown apart from the series then that is too bad; but apparently the only way to keep you as a fan is to ostracize me. I am not down for that.

This was already day 1 for me but it has now become day -1. That's right I'm officially going to rob a gamestop the day before release just to get this game as early as possible.
