Looks like they won't cut a huge chunk out of this one, so I'm interested.

As interesting as these Yakuza games seem, the visuals look painfully bad.

I heard this is better than Yakuza 3 in every single way. Also it comes out the same time as the Zombie themed one comes out in Japan.

Now if only Sega would stop pretending that it's 'too hard' to localise a quiz minigame.

I don't often make awkward small talk with women who are paid to be nice to me, but when I do, I do it in Yakuza 4.

Only played Yakuza 2, but I loved it. Great that they don't cut stuff from this like they did in yakuza 3.

Alright, now I'm interested. Maybe. If there is nothing coming out around it, then I'll probably buy it.

Replace the narrator with Jeff's creepy voice and we've got ourselves a winner.

Awesome, virtual non-sexual relationships with Japanese ladies.   A dating sim in a hyper violent open world game?  Sure, yes why not?  This could be fun.

I don't think women you pay money to spend time with count as "real relationships". And what was with the close up hand shots? I don't mean to offend any "otaku" here (actually, I kind of do because 90% of you are annoying), but Japan is a weird goddamn place.

@PenguinDust: Eventually they can lead to sexual relationships if you butter them up enough.  Although after you get any one girl in the sack it's considered "finished" and there's no real point to doing anything else with her since you cease to get any experience from her.

Might be interested, might be. Yakuza has been on my radar for quite some time. So long as I don't need to have played the other games to understand this one, I might drop into the series here.

This looks a bit dull, to be honest, referring to both the game and this dating sim sub-game. The overblown jazz a la Deadly Premonition (which, in fairness, I loved) doesn't help either.

They're so going to cut hostesses again. This trailer is just a tease. Kinda of like how the thugs in 3 keep telling you to take their monies and go to the hostess clubs, which don't exist, after you beat them. D=

I enjoyed this video, though can't say I find any of those virtual ladies particularly appealing. 
 
Or the game for that matter, I might still check out a demo for it if they put one out.

I want this game a lot, but hearing about the multiple characters doesn't excite me that much. I just want to be Kazuma Kiryu the mob-boss, and command respect using my fists instead of my credentials. But oh well, we'll see how this turns out. I just wish these were subtitled in English as they make them so we can get simultaneous releases. I hate hate hate it when Japanese companies pull that.

I see none of those women making him a sandwich so the female position is sorely understated.

Heard Yakuza 3 had random battles so I shyed away from it... Someone convince me to play it anyway... I'm looking for an excuse. Are they bad?
