That is a cracking article. Im playing through Yakuza 3 at the moment. I thought i'd miss the stuff that was cut out of the western version but im not. On your completions page that tells you all the missions you can do there';s still like 600 mssions and things to do on it which will keep me busy awhile. Thats great thjough how they've got actual Yakuza to review Yakuza. Im amazed they liked it.
Yea I always wondered how Yakuza felt about the games, wasn't quite expecting them to like it. I am missing the content considering I quite enjoyed Mahjong, oh well at least Yakuza 4 will have everything.
I think the main reason im not missing it though is because i never really bothered with the clubs and mahjong in the last one either so I honestly don't think I'd be clamouring to try them out in 3 if they were in it. Still it's always nice having the option to play them if you want.
