SEGA's Yakuza series thread. Is Haruka gonna have to Komaki Parry a street punk?

Yeah I am like that as well lol, TBH the challenges don’t tell you what weapons are in your inventory. If it gets too hard you probably have weapons on you.

Yeah one could argue Yakuza 1 may have turned potential fans away just because of the VA. Shenmue had bad VA but it was funny enough to keep a sense of nostalgia about it. Sadly Yakuza 1 VA is just awful, but the game and story are GDLK.

Yeah the English voice acting with certain character wasn’t that good. Kazuma’s voice actor was good and Majima’s as well. I

^Majima was Mark Hamill wasn’t he? And Michael Rosenbaum was the main foil (can’t remember his name now). Oh, and Michael Madsen as Futo Shimano right? Damn, they had some decent names doing the VA, shame it didn’t turn out all that well…

In any event I’ll have to give Yakuza 3/4 a shot in Ultimate skill mode again, I thought that would have just been the regualr game with some minor difficulty spikes, but it seems like theres a slew of new content to be found.

Example of ultimate skill in Yakuza 4. This is the semi-zombie mission so I can assume Dead Souls was inspired by this. [media=youtube]yTpcXrbdn_g[/media]

[details=Spoiler] There are 4 guns scattered around the parking lot. Zombies don’t die using physical attacks, thus finding the 4 guns is the only way to beat the mission. They have chase missions,battle,conditions and survival missions.

Show this to anyone who has doubts about getting DS; if they’re still not convinced, pull off a Heat action on them.

My body is ready for Yakuza of the dead

xD I love this series’ sense of humor, but I still don’t think I’ll get Dead Souls. I’m a bit squeamish about this kind of gory zombie violence stuff. =x

I can’t wait to see more on Yakuza 5 though.

It’s not the best, but I tried =P

Gamespot has some videos of DS:

DS looks like a good title, it’s the 1st Yakuza I am gonna pass on though. I wonder how it will do sales wise cause RE:ORC comes out in the same month?

Yakuza: Black Panther 2 for the PSP has the chance to be one of the best Yakuza games; not only do you get to beat the living crap out of arrogant Japanese hoods and bums-

You also collect and take care of cats-

Fuck your weeaboo Barbie’s dollhouse/dress-up shit, this is some real manly stuff right there!

I remember hearing about an English patch/hack for the Black Panther games on PSP, any truth to that? I’m almost tempted to get a PSP to play those games if I can play in english.

Cool to see the playthrough of Yakuza as well, I’m still not 100% on the controls, but If they have the content and fun of the previous games it should be a winner.

Black panther makes me regret giving my psp away last year. I also heard about the games having a translation patch so it seems legit.

Well Dead Souls is out over here but I only find US copies, and I want an EU, since I have 3 and 4 EU and while whatever bonus I would get wouldn’t be a big deal I kind of want to keep it consistent by getting an EU version.
Oh wells I might find one in the next few days.

Playing Yakuza 3 ATM, and at long last [spoiler=]I completed Rikiya’s tattoo ;.; I never did that in my first playthrough because I couldn’t find the tattoo shop (which is actually behind the Karaoke, and because I thought I can hang out with Rikiya in Kamuro in later events in the game…but then… ;.;[/spoiler]
Ah well was hoping to get DS for my b-day (today) but I’m cool with what that substory =)

no one played DS yet? i tried a the jp demo and wasn’t feelin the TPS angle. i’ll still get it eventually

is anyone playing dead souls, i think it came out this week. amazon has it for 44.99$. was just wondering if it is good stuff like 4.

im outi

Roberth

I bought it off Gamestop.com since nobody had a deal on it. Gonna return that shit when it’s delivered and cop off of Amazon for $20 cheaper.

FINALLY got Yakuza DS~
Here’s my humble Yakuza collection ATM-

I think it’s rumors man… I tried this like a few months ago… searched real hard…

EDIT: I haven’t tested this one, but BP1 might be translated…
