" @Kr3lian: I understand where you are coming from but: 1. You're right, it is only the demo 2. Yakuza isn't about hijacking cars and doing the same things you do in GTA4. It more like a Shenmue type of game, but focused on crime. "
Well I hope you're right. Nonetheless, I think I'll wait for the reviews to roll in before I put it in the gamefly queue...
@Dan_CiTi: For the most part, the environment in GTA4 is interactive. The physics may be shit, and the level of interactivity isn't great, but it is interactive nonetheless. In the Yakuza 3 demo, for instance, you can run up to some roadblocks, but you are not able to pass them. It is as if there is an invisible plexiglass wall between you and the roadblocks. In GTA4, you can run into and even knock over most roadblocks. For those that don't move, the hit detection is at least reasonable. Similarly, if there is a ledge or staircase in GTA4, you can stand on it or climb it provided you can get to it. The invisible walls abound in that Yakuza 3 demo. In GTA 4, if you see a vehicle, you can almost certainly hijack and drive it around. In the Yakuza 3 demo, every single object might have well been a big invisible cube, for all of your ability to do anything to it.
Now I have only played the demo. But if the game is more of the same, it is a bad bad bad game.
I didn't see any overt bugs, but this game does have serious clipping and screen tearing issues. The screen tearing gets so bad it gives me a headache sometimes.
If the player doesn't work for you now you likely have noscript or adblock running on Firefox. We didn't do this intentionally, it's just the way we have to check for an ad before we initialize the player. At the same time we have no intention of spending parts of our workday trying to build a workaround for people specifically trying to avoid the only means of revenue this website has. It's not like we deliver crazy popunders or anything. At most you'll have to endure 4 prerolls per day, per user.
Shhh, you're gonna remind them that you guys do this for the coin. I made a comment to that effect once and Jeff came in and browbeat me ;)
No movie is more sad than Grave of the Fireflies. Up has a really nice part that brought me to tears, but that was as much from how the story was told (through beautiful montage) as the actual story.
