Yakuza about Yakuza 3

[Frybird]

Thought i share it with the people who haven't read it.

An american reporter who "specialises" in the japanese underworld shows three real Yakuza Members "Ryu Ga Gotoku 3", aka Yakuza 3, and questions them about the realism of the game.

The results of that are pretty surprising in some parts, making this a very entertaining read:

Interesting read. Thanks for that.
At least there is still some organized crime that has some respect for people. Dam gangsters now-a-days. No respect. Get off my lawn. Ow my hip, etc, etc.

Wow. He actually managed to get 3 relatively high-ranking members of the Yakuza to review a game? That's impressive, to say the least.

Quite an interesting read there, thanks for sharing that find.
I'll have to look into yakuza 3 now, once I finish up with other games.

I wonder if they're on to something here.

Certainly an entirely different take on reviewing a game world, and a very interesting one too.

This guy needs to get the Manhunt series reviewed as well.

Wasn't a thread on this made a few hours ago?
Don't know how much validity their opinions have on actual gameplay seeing as how they haven't played any besides this one.

I also like how they reprimanded sega america for editing the export version. I was ready to buy that game until I heard about all the content that was cut.
