First Yakuza 3 images scanned

Well, not scanned so much as “had photos taken of them.” On SpazioGames. It doesn’t say there, but we’re assuming these are from Famitsu, as the new issue’s out today.

Take a look. It’s for PS3. Don’t expect to see it over here any time soon, though. Thanks, Blerk.

It’s PS3. And I wouldn’t count on seeing it over here any time soon. :-)

Sounds like your blaming Blerk for not being here quickly. :D

It’s totally my fault.

If in doubt, blame Blerk.

Atleast this time if you like the game you can import it easy peasy.

But I got to admit it looks good.

I have heard cult awesome thigns about Yakuza, but it does nothing for me. I’d go as far as saying Yakuza 1 and 2 (Youtube videos) look quite tame and boring.

I’d say controversiality, if that was a word :P

I don’t ‘love’ much, but I can get enjoyment out of pretty much every game. I will only note the ones that seperate themselves though. Otherwise it’s all just fodder.

Things have to be pretty special for me to love them I guess.

And to be fair I haven’t played this.

You get to punch tramps in the face. What more could you want?

Hey, I haven’t played it!

It just looks like an adventure game with a brawlign mini-game.

Big Meh, lets see how this one turns out. And how much imports cost.

It’s sort of like an RPG in a lot of ways. The RPG fans classify it as an honorary JRPG. It isn’t one, but it is. Sort of.

Anyway, you’ll have bugger all luck with an import. There’s loads of talking which you won’t be able to understand, so you won’t be able to figure out the missions.

Well then lets hope Yakuza 2 sells well. I’d certainly like to give it a shot.

Nah, it’ll completely tank. First game sold shit, second game’s two years late, doesn’t have an English dub and is being released well past the PS2′s sell-by date. Doesn’t stand a chance.

I know at least ten people who are buying it, though. Do you think that’s enough to recoup the costs?

Not 10, but if there is 1,000 people like you then maybe.

Clearly they do have some impact or SEGA just likes making the games. (i mean in Japan)
