Should Sega Bring Yakuza 3 To The West ?
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009
For one more time I played through the Yakuza 3 Jap demo and at the end, I started to check around the net to see if there is any new news about it being released over here, and I found at gamefaqs.com some petition sites.I was very happy though about them because that show we are not the only one missing this gem.
So I started to realize maybe Sega was wrong not porting it over here but now if even they want to do it, it will maybe took another year or so and by then we all will forget about it or our thirst of it will be fulfilled by all the videos, cut-scenes, ending and gameplay videos from YouTube and the sort, which mean Sega will lose few fans and potential buyers, although the real fans will still grab it anyway.
So my two cent for all these Japanese developers, start maximising your product potential by just adding some bloody English subtitles to them.
It cost less than voice over and mostly people really preferred anyway Jap voice with English subs.
Some guy told me if you add eng subs then you must support online too for them and I said NO NO: add English subs so people can import the game but they know they can’t have the extras features online provide.
PS3 is region free when it comes to games so why still make it looks like old ps2 with just Japanese language without English subs?
My one petition is for all those Jap developers: Start Adding English Subs To Jap Only Titles or Bring Them Over in Less Than a Year!
Either you go along with me or not , this just my own, personal view, so don’t take it too serious, maybe am just an angry gamer tired of all the goodies bump to Japan only…
