[Mets39]

That would be a dream come true! Please be true

 

[Astarte]

Even though I heard some pretty bad things about the plot, I want to visit the world of yakuza again!
Please atlus, let it happen!

 

[Hung_real]

Atlus USA is my hero

 

[jabuseika]

I'm ready to return to kamurocho.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Edit beaten .

 

[Heyt]

Wishful thinking. Not gonna happen.
But if it does I gess I'll buy it.

 

[Riposte]

HEAT

 

[makingmusic476]

Please be true.

ISHIN NEXT.

 

[slaughterking]

I'll believe it when I see it, I guess. Sounds a bit like fan fiction, but I certainly would love it to be true.

 

[ZenTzen]

Please dont play with my heart like this

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

IS THIS REAL LIFE.

BELUEAVe![!

[eliochip]

I'm literally going to die.

Where's your location I'll call the police !

Spoiler

is yakuza 5 that samurai yakuza game ? Cause that's what I want

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Had a blast with 1, currently playing 2 which is even better - 3 is good as well and 4+5 are knocking it out of the park according to several posters here

So yeah, this franchise is pretty great

Any videos that show how they play? Are they like brawlers with story elements?

 

[trinest]

Wait why haven't Sega localised it themselves?

 

[Yaqoub]

Love Atlus's localization team, I hope it's true. Already planning on dipping on the Japanese release but will definitely get the localized one if it's ever done.

I hope Ishin is on the agenda too.

 

[shwimpy]

not to sound greedy but ISHIN PLEASE.

 

[thelurkinghorror]

 

[Shaanyboi]

the best thing to come out of the SEGA/Atlus acquisition?

 

[Aru]

Yakuza 3 was decent, I enjoyed it quite a bit. But I bought it for really cheap, so it might have helped. Haven't played Yakuza 4 but I would gladly buy a digital version on PSN. Or skip it and go straight to 5 if the rumor is true.

[pelican]

I want to believe.

Badass brawling with a lot of fun! Very very heavy on story. Cutscenes can go on for a long time.

Wait why haven't Sega localised it themselves?

Lack of manpower on the yakuza team, dead souls bombing in america, etc.

 

[dreamfall]

I want so badly to believe, that there is love and this is real...!!!!

 

[marcincz]

This is good news. I want to believe. Missing part of my Yakuza Collection.

 

[Hung_real]

Wishful thinking. Not gonna happen.

 

[UltraGunner]

Atlus is now owned by Sega, so that means that Sega ends up localizing it after all. Well aint that a bitch.

 

[Sidewinder]

No it isn't but you still want it!

 

[kmax]

YES! Bring this home, baby! Please, let this be true. Atlus absolutely rocks!

 

[Koralsky]

Hope this is true! Along with Yakuza HD Collection.

 

[Aru]

Since Atlus localize almost every game they make/publish, they must have found a way for their localizations to be profitable. They could be better than SEGA at this, so maybe that's why.

 

[DasFool]

Think of the combat as a 3D Streets of Rage or Final Fight. You go around smacking dudes and build up a special meter that can unleash power moves. There are weapons strewn about that you can pick up and beat the shit outta your opponents with.

Outside of battles, they are action adventure games with a Tokyo setting. You can run around and explore the whole city district and find sidequests and food shops and other places/exhibits/etc. that add to the authenticity. It is an absolute blast to explore because there is some truly wacky shit in these games.

 

[Endo Punk]

Prefer Ishin instead but not that it matters because ATLUS doesn't localise for Europe. Maybe Bamco can lend us a hand..

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

NA localisation only. With us Europeans importing.

Single market cost.

If they dub it I'll die.

[ShogunDarius]

People saying EU won't get this because atlus remember Sega is the owner of the series thus they are the likely candidate for the EU publishing just atlus doing the localisation.

 

[SolidSnakex]

 

[Unknown Soldier]

It's going to be a dub without a dual audio option.

Nobody is more tone-deaf about this than Atlus. They are like the Microsoft of JP game localization publishers.

 

[Nightengale]

If they dub it I'll die.

To be honest, I'd pay an extra dollar to hear them dub all of the idol songs in Yakuza 5.

Yakuza games are essentially RPGs mixed with Brawler like gameplay ala streets of rage, etc in 3D, very fun and very easy games to get into

 

[kiryogi]

Wait what when can Haruka actually fight? I need to get back to RgG5

Unfortunately so. I love Atlus, but they always get this one bit wrong.

Original audio am cry

 

[watkinzez]

I... I can't take this uncertainty. Is there a way to remove this rumour from my brain until it actually comes true or not?

 

[Dragon1893]

Don't toy with my heart like this. I had already given up, don't do this to me.

 

[ComputerMKII]

What's so good about this game that people keep asking for a localization?

 

[Nightengale]

Wait what when can Haruka actually fight? I need to get back to RgG5

If I'm not wrong, that's a hack or something.

Basically Haruka's model with Kiryu's moveset.

 

[BlackLagoon]

Wait what when can Haruka actually fight? I need to get back to RgG5

Nah, that's a mod for hacked PS3s. Puts her skin on one of the other playable characters.

 

[Dantis]

Laura Bailey doing her Rise voice as Haruka.

Absolutely not.

...I had forgotten how much I disliked the look of these parts.

I'll pretend the game ends once the Haruka section starts, haha.
