No, because not only won't it matter, Yakuza 3 and 4 were so shit I don't want to play more of the series. Did the staff change between 2 and 3 or something? Because huge drop in quality.

Voted. Let's hope sega gives a fuck.

Weren't there already rumors that Y5 was going to be localized at the end of this year?

>>200743525
no ? sega has been too quiet on the subject and this is why yakuza fans are going paranoid.

>>200743695
Well fuck I guess rumors are rumors after all, voted just in case

I mean it can't hurt

>>200743525
I want to fuck Yakuza 1 Haruka.

Sega's said nothing. It's normally been a year between jap and western release.

However...Y5 is about 4 times bigger than Y4, so it could just be a case that it's taking a shitload longer to localize.

post more haruka

I voted for this yesterday, I don't even know why.
After someone linked me a video of idols and bear wrestling, I know it was the right choice.

Yakuza is easily one of the greatest series that shouls be popular in the West but isn't.

>Shitload of minigames
>Badass Characters
>Japan
>Life of crime
>Date a shitload of chicks
>Open world
>Great graphics
>Great and brutal fighting
>Tons of side quests
>Etc.

The reason it fails is that Sega seems to think that in 2013 making a great game is all it takes for said game to sell well. This is obviously fucking stupid and so are Sega.

"What do you mean the games we never marketed in the slightest sold poorly? The game's good, isn't that enough?"

No Sega, it isn't.

I don't have that much I'm afraid and most of the pics are shit anyway, but sure

But that's true. If a game is good, it will be viral marketed by word of mouth and sell even more.

And if this is the 5th game in the series, isn't this proof that Yakuza sells reasonably well?

Yeah marketing plays a big part in sales as well. And I'm not saying you have to spend fortunes on marketing, just do it right.

>>200745460
it sells well in japan. in the west not so good. which is fucking stupid because it's an awesome franchise.

>>200745460
It sells well in Japan, where Sega markets it. But you are kinda right, since Sonic and Sega ASRT had no marketing and it sold a lot from what they expected.

I'd prefer HD remakes first.
