Sorry, but you can't say that. Shenmue and Yakuza are vastly different games.

Yakuza is more about the story, with lots of repetitive quests and a slew of pointless mini-games.

Shenmue is a structured world you live in and try to find clue's in to progress key story moments. The mini-games have a purpose and are an integral part of the story. Also, theres a way more complex conversation system.

Not trying to ditch Yakuza, but i don't think its anywhere near as good as Shenmue and if a fan of Shenmue goes in expecting the same game, they will be disappointed.
With that said, the cut-scenes and story of yakuza are very enjoyable.



yes, Nem ^^ well.. i love both : P And i buy Yakuza because the Shenmue/Sega-Historie in the past < 3 And now i'm a fan by Yakuza. The games are incredible and so big <3 i have the japanese version (Y5), but i buy it in english too. : ) PS: For me personally, Yakuza 5 has the best ending with Metal Gear Solid 3 and Persona 4.



Catch it now and you have the option to pay double once the remaster on PS4 hits!



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Still on yakuza 4 but I'll be getting this when done. It's actually one of the best ps exclusives.

Looks awesome. Will have to wait until I finish off the Yakuza games I have though.



I really like the Yakuza games, but I'll buy it next year when it's on sale.



The lack of a PS4 day one port being available is a little odd. But I suppose it's because of active install base in JPN where most titles are sold in the series.



planning on make this one of the games on i review on my youtube but i won't be able to play it until Wednesday cause the device i order to  bypass the PS3 HDCP won't arrive here until then

though i already have beaten a imported copy of not just this but all other unlocalized games anyways XD

Considering this is digital only they probably didn't think it was worth it but they are localizing 0 next year for PS4.

Though it was already on PS4 in Japan along with a PS3 version that we won't get.
