more money
I never played sleeping dogs. I skipped right over it. Is it any good?

Yakuza plays exactly like Shenmue. The story style, the combat, the side jobs. Everything screams Shenmue and it does a lot of things better.

Do you have to play the previous ones? Not exactly, but it definitely helps. I personally jumped around in the series and didn't feel COMPLETELY lost. If you still have a ps3 these games can be found at most gamestops for about $10 a piece.

Like I said. If your a fan of Shenmue, I highly recommend this series.

Nah I agree with meech, yea its similar in some aspects but the diffrences are still obviouse imo especially with the combat:





shenmues combat has alot of depth like vf, yakuzas combat is simpler and more user friendly.

Yakuza 4 combat is WAY better than the combat in Shenmue

Everything I read online says this is PS3 only. I'd give if a whirl if it comes to the quad.

Yakuza 5 slated for mid-November release


“Unfortunately, it’s a little later than we would’ve liked, and a few weird development bugs that popped up in localization caused the delay,” Sega said. “Without getting too technical, there were just certain parts that didn’t like switching the Japanese text out for English, and we had to actually search through the source code to find a fix, taking more time than we expected. But! Everything is more or less back on track.”

Yakuza 5 first launched in Japan in March 2012.

Sega has released a new set of Yakuza 5 screenshots introducing the side-activities that the game’s five cities have to offer.

Those activities including taking pictures in photo booths, mastering Taiko Drum Master in the arcade, spending thousands of yen to win a Hatsune Miku or NiGHTS statue from a UFO catcher, gambling, drinking, cavorting, hunting bears, dancing, drifting in taxi cabs, and more.

Yakuza 5 is due out by the end of the year in North America and Europe via PlayStation Network.
