I stopped playing Shenmue 2 when I read it ended on a cliffhanger and would never get an ending.
But yeah, I bought Y3 because of how much I enjoyed S1 and 2. I haven't played any other Yakuza games but Yakuza 3 is awesome, and getting really underated. I guess most western reviewers don't appreciate many of the games subtltites, I mean many of the reviews I went through didn't really mention the games focus on sidequests and mini-games, or just how much there is to do.
This is the most expansive RPG I've ever played. Except Oblivion perhaps, but then there's much more variety with Yakuza.
