I tried playing Yakuza 1 and I hated it. That's why i'm not getting Yakuza 3.

Shenmue is just THE best.

Yakuza 3 is much more open than Yakuza 1 , Yakuza 1 wasn't like Shenmue actually, it was very linear.

I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun...

Of course bought it. I'm not even a Shenmue fan though, but I still love the Yakuza series.

Hmm...I'm interested.

Do you have to play the first and the second in order to understand the story of the third?

there is a brief "cinematic" story videos in the main menu that tells the story of Yakuza 1 and 2, even if you don't want to watch these, the start of the game actually will make you understand more about the story by some events happening such as at the start he will visit somewhere that will make him remember stuff happened to other characters, and also other characters will be "hey remember that guy that did something because of something something"

it does a great job in giving the storyline to new comers, that people who PLAYED the older games will be like "Yeah , why are you being so specific man? i already know..."

Alright.

I loved the demo so I might buy it eventually.

^^
prepare to do lots of exploration and mini games because the demo was nothing compared to the game

shenmue was more artsy, contemplative, and mysterious. One would lose time just feeding cats or talking to weird people without purpose. Yakuza has evolved towards a more open-ended world but you still feel the story is predictable.

It's like comparing David Lynch with John Woo
With david lynch/ shenmue you wondered what is it that i am seeing doing
With John Woo/ yakuza you know what's going on and all you care about is going at it with a bang

You can do that on Yakuza you know?

plus the story is NOT predictable at all, you haven't played it right?

I wouldn't call Yakuza predictable, and I have yet to actually get into Shenmue, but seriously we need more Majima!
