[Official] Yakuza 3


Recommended Posts

Definitely not, felt and looked like a joke.

I felt the game was a little off but I don't think the demo justifies the full game from what people like AB are saying, will probably pick up cheap when done with Uni in May!

Does any demo, according to Neowin?

If you've played Yakuza 1/2, you know exactly what to expect.

It's more of what made them good for any supporters, except this one changes up the pacing a bit with the start of the game being different from what you've come to expect from the previous two.

Ultimately a game for the fans only, but it's a series I feel should be more popular given how people have slated FF13 for being linear.

Although it is an earlier PS3 game (2008), even if it came out this year it would still lack the graphical polish of FF, but so many people run around these days saying gameplay > graphics.

There are some demos that are dome well. Yakuza 3 is not one of them or I maybe wrong and still not like the full game! :laugh:

I would play Yakuza 2 if my PS3 had BC as I can't be bothered to hook up my PS2! Might as well just skip the first 2 and play no3 or would I be missing out on a lot?

From above

I would recommend playing the first two games first, however this game does have video recaps of the first two games. Unfortunately though they run at the PS2's native res so the videos are a little small, but do the job explaining things in decent detail so far.

I would just skip it and get 3. Have you at least played 1 though? Or none at all?

I'd get 3 if you're interested in playing it. Yakuza 3 does a good job explaining the past two story lines and character relationships through a cool in-game family tree thing and Yakuza 1, 2 storyline videos.

I played the downloadable demo of this... Didn't think it would be my kinda thing, but I really enjoy it. The seamless link between story, roaming and combat is very effective.

Is this a new rule? We've been doing it in the GH for ages (years), if so probably best to edit all the GH topics with it? :/

I created all my topics in the GH ages ago as well, I've been away for a month so if it's a new rule, I had no idea about it.

The full game is even better. The story really keeps you playing and new things are always happening, from playing darts to being chased around the city by a transvestite(s).

topic title change? Must be a new policy. Seems kind of pointless because only about 3 members are actually bothering to make official topics.

LOL @ that substory

haha, that's brilliant. Never seen the bad outcome from that.

Yeah I made sure not to get caught :rofl:

And yeah I don't know what's going on with topic titles, but if it's a new rule we're going to have a bit of editing to do in the GH!

Maybe it's because my joking title doesn't make this seem like a GH official topic, but if you see post 1 I put some effort into it even if I knew hardly anyone would be playing this :p

We've been using them for years in the GH to organize topics on games into one giant place for discussion.

Has worked so far! No reason to stop now :)

Oh well, it is bad enough no one wants Yakuza 3, now "the man" is trying to stop us from pushing the game on a forum. :laugh:

If I don't hear back from Fred/someone else about official topics in the GH by tonight I'll edit the title again and just call the topic "[Official] Yakuza 3", get rid of the joke that makes the topic less user friendly.

Maybe he hates Sega for making such crummy Sonic games! :laugh:

Members using [Official] tags seems now to be commonplace in Gamers Hangout. There was a time when it required a staffer to rename an existing thread which then gave the thread official approval.

I'll discuss this with the GH mods.

Sure thing I'll await the outcome (Y)

This has been going on for ages though Fred, surprised you've just noticed :p I guess it was allowed in principle since members can see a clear difference between a pinned topic and one that just has tags. Whatever is decided it would be nice if an alternative solution was allowed for the topics in the GH, even if its just saying "Official topic of Game X", without the brackets.

I'd be happy with that, as long as we can still offer distinction for these topics over other topics. They are made to keep the GH tidy from 200 different topics of pictures/opinions/reviews/trailers of a game that's coming out soon/is out. Not that 200 topics would hurt the board, but it's not really user friendly to have stuff scattered everywhere, look at the size of some of these topics (MW2 for example).

If they take away our Official tags we'll just need to come up with something else they can remove 5 years later :laugh:

How about [unOfficial] ? It is a good work around and regulars will know what it is!
