    Yakuza 3

    Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Feb 26, 2009

    Sega's Yakuza series moves to the PlayStation 3 for its third installment, bringing all the comically brutal beat-em-up gameplay, Japanese RPG storytelling and various mini-games with it.

    Fans of this, please tell me nice things about it.

    I have stared at an auction site for about a week now, because someone is selling a fresh new copy of this game at a price which is about half of what I´d expect to pay for it.
    The problem is that I´m still hesitant. There seems to be so much stuff about this game that I MAY not like, because it's just so weird.

    So people who like this, please go ahead and tell me all kinds of happy-positive things about this to make me go ahead and buy it.

    I don't have a problem with slow-paced games (I'm a fan of the Metal Gear games for example)
    The Quick Look was oddly compelling, even though basically nothing happened in it.
    Never played Yakuza 1 or 2.

    This game is brutal as SHIT. Going through the game, every time I discovered a new heat move I found myself loudly exclaiming "OH CHRIST." You mess dudes UP in this game.

    Karaoke.

    The story is compelling, though a tiny bit confusing. And yes, a little slow. It's about a 20 hour game if you just do the story stuff. 3 was my first game in the series and I found myself super attached to the characters by the end of the game. Kazuma in particular is a wonderfully likable badass.

    KARAOKE.

    Well there you go, that's some really nice things you're saying. Good to hear that it makes sense if it's your first Yakuza game.
