In Yakuza 4 there is a side mission where a guy is threatening to jump off a building, and of course you have to beat the hell out of him in order to change his mind. Well I went into that fight with a full heat meter, and immediately performed a heat action. It was the one where you throw them off the building.

I REALLY wish I had a video of that.

At least in Zero, he has definite scruples about killing which are central to the plot. His wild man act appears to be just that, at least in that sense. And of course, we know the ridiculous hoops the story jumped through when it comes to Saejima.

These are all such nice yakuza.

A common theme in Yakuza is the player character is the "killer" when they never pulled the trigger. Majima only would kill those who earned his respect. The weaklings get to live as cripples.

I'm waiting for them to announce a FIGS version for Europe. No English though; not enough demand.

Considering how nationalistic this game is, is it even popular in Korea? Or is it another signature "SEGA decision".

Sega mentioned it coming out this month if they overcome some major bugs in a blog post, then immediately took that reference down so it's still up in the air. Probably November or December.

I gotta hand it to Sega this one time, even though there's no release yet I kind of appreciate them streaming the game and showing it off liks this.

It gives me hope for other Yakuza games in the States but I won't get too excited for all that yet.

When did they say this? Because this makes me worried that it's just going to be "Regardless of how well this sells, we won't release the future games."

Yes, I have walked along the path of evil many times, it's a twisting curving path, that actually leads to a charming block garden, but beyond that evil!

Now that 5 is coming, I hunted down copies of Yakuza 1 and 2 so I could finally play the series start to finish. 1 was good but definitely rough around the edges, 2 on the other hand was amazing, so many cool Kazuma moments. Also Goro Majima has always been a favorite of mine and his parts in 2 basically solidified that. Always a shame this series doesn't get more love, I think it's just too much manliness for some people.

Hey Sega, there's some Roman characters on that box art. May as well finish the job and make the game in English.
