Yakuza 3/Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 demo thread

[Nick]

So the Yakuza 3 demo went up on the Japanese PSN last night... is anyone else playing it? The combat is really fun, really deep. There's a lot you can do depending on your situation, what weapons you have, etc. It also has some brutal QTE finishing attacks, similar to God of War. I don't know Japanese so I'm lost on some of the other parts, though.

My only real complaint is there are a lot of jaggies, the graphics aren't the greatest.

To download it, all you need to do is make a Japanese account. Check here for instructions on how to do that (http://blogs.ign.com/xheavenxsentx/2006/12/09/39684/).

Very cool.

Any buzz on bringing it to the U.S.?

Would not be surprised if they did localize it, but I don't know how well it would carry over here in the North America. Since there's ALOT of cliches, jokes, cultural references, easter eggs and odd moments we here in America just plain wont understand, it would kinda detract form the game i think. I'm not sure people here really understand how deep the yakuza influence runs in japan

I played it, it was cool but I didn't know what I was doing most of the time. I just hit people and picked stuff up and hit them with that. It'll most likely be localized for America, since Yakuza 1 and 2 both were.
