Yakuza series

[AnimeGamer183]

I am going to have to disagree with you there and say this series absolutely is better with a guide, mission heavy games = guide is best friend. If you have never used a guide or atleast looked at a mission list (which is the meat and potatoes of guides for this series anyway) for these games, there is alot you havent seen of these games.

I like to use a guide only after ive beaten a game for the first time. 2nd time around I find what I missed.

You aren't getting the intended experience if you know exactly what to look out for. And I've personally always found that half the joy in revisiting a game is finding new content; if I were to meticulously look up every single piece of content in a game like this the first time through, replays wouldn't be half as interesting. But eh, can't tell someone how to play their games. It's just what I think about it.
Besides, I think that starting with Yakuza 3, there's actually a function in the game itself that tells you where to search out new side-stories. You talk to a guy and he'll say things like "looks like there's trouble over on Pink St." or something like that. Might have been Y4 that started it... I can't remember which one. Been awhile.

I have seen many of the side missions not come up already, a good 10 and im only in chapter 5... some times its random missions, its more than whats in the link you posted, so much more.

I've looked it up for myself and it seems there were 21 missions which were cut. Still brings the final count to over a hundred. Anything you miss would all be unlocked in Premium Adventure after completing the game.

That was Yakuza 4. The journalist in Shellac. I preferred that method than actually having icons signposted on the mini-map in Dead Souls, and now also in Yakuza 5. But from what I can tell, that can be toggled off.

I hope it gets released with the accompanying vita apps in the west. For now all we can do is support the release of Yakuza 5 and spread the word.

Yakuza 4 will be available with PlayStation Plus in Europe and America for February. A nice bonus..

[Riku Rose]

Pretty smart, try and get a few new fans in before Yakuza 5 hits.

^I wonder if we will get a release date

Tweet if there are going to be any cuts to the game. I would if I had an account.

That's a good question. At the most I'm expecting Answer X Answer and the Namco drumming game to be cut..

Did anything ever come of this? I can't find anything on the web about it.
