Another awesome Yakuza game, hope this one makes out of Japan too


It will most definitelly.

That depends on the sales of Y3, Sega said that themselves.

Seeing as how Yakuza 2 only sold roughly 50k in NA and that seemed enough for Sega to bring Yakuza 3 over to the west, i'd say we're in good hands lol.  There was almost 30k for Yakuza 3 preorders so im sure another 20k wont be too hard to bring in any time soon. (hopefully lol).

"After so much trouble with the localization of Yakuza 3, many fans are growing weary about Yakuza 4 releasing outside of Japan."

.....what exactly were the troubles other then about cutting out some of the game?

-

"It’s not a question I can really answer for you, but I would encourage all fans of the series to show their support for Yakuza by picking up a copy [of Yakuza 3]. At the end of the day, numbers often speak loudest."

....Well seeing as how this will probably sell more than Yakuza 2 in NA, would that qualify as loud enough numbers? It'd be nice if Sega gave a ballpark figure thatll decide of Yakuza 4 can head west or not.

I showed my support by picking up Yakuza 3 yesterday over FFXIII .

33/40 for God of War Collection?

They should give me some of the stuff they're smoking.

Why do they need to smoke anything to give it that score in 2010? Thats a pretty good score for a port of 2 PS2 games.

People don't realize that God of War 1 and 2 scored amazing mostly for presentation when they came out. Presentation which today is a little dated for those 2 games...

So Genesis re-releases are automatically 20/40? That's how they should be rated by your and severance's logic.

Retro reviews are to be done by the same standards as one would do them back in the day when the games originally came out.


That doesn't happen with late ports and God of War isn't old enough to be considered a "retro game" anyway. Stop acting like 33/40 is a terrible score.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Stop throwing accusations around. Disolitude and Torillian have been polite, why can't you?

33/40 is not terrible, but hardly representative of the collection.

What score would make you happy then? A 36 (all 9s)? That's a whopping three points higher than this review score? I don't see the point in complaining about a pretty good score, just because you disagree with it despite not having actually read the review. And yes, you haven't said 33 is a terrible score, but you sure as hell are acting like it is.
