Yakuza 3 is getting neutered.

.....

People are boycotting Yakuza 3, the proof is a lot of people have already canceled their reservations, as for me, I'm switching mine over to FFXIII. Its ridiculous enough that everybody had to wait over a year for Yakuza 3, but now people have to pay full price and only get 3/4 of the game.

[.:K.I.N.G:.]

yeah i've read that earlier, sega sucks big time.

Don't blame Sega, blame Sega of America and ESRB.  I have the original Japanese version Ryuu Ga Gotoku 3, were you are pretty much pimping a girl.  Also going into hostess bars and dating famous show girls, messages, overnight games, karaoke, and other kinky stuff  .  It doesn't make the game better or worst.

I think boycotting a game over something silly like that is retarded. I could understand if a big important part of the game was missing, but it's not, it's a glorified mini game. Let's just be happy that we're getting the game over here at all.

I'm surprised these same people didn't try to boycott Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom over here because it didn't have that retarded genie and the anime cutscenes.

Sega sucks lolololol, But seriously, they don't do the PS3 justice (And the western market)
First Bayonetta now this, I would like to get the japanese version but, yeah....I can't speak Japanese and I'm not gonna play this game with my girlfriend because she knows the language.
Thank you Sega, But boycotting is stupid though, This game is going to be pretty good so I don't know why people shouldn't buy it.

WTF theres no point in a boycott its not gonna sell well neway

Bayonetta has been fixed with a PS3 update.  RGG3 is a very good game and I'm about to purchase the RGG4...too bad I still don't have a TV.  I still can't play my End of Eternity and Ar Tonelico 3

Wow, next thing you know, GTA V will have the main character using squeaky bats and water guns to make all of Liberty City wet forever. The M doesn't stand for "Mindless 2-Year-Old".

Actually there's a lot of hours put into most of the deleted content.

Well the blog that Sega made got over 500 comments. A good half of them saying Sega sucks, and the other half canceling their reservations. I can't blame them since its been taking over a year to get this game stateside, and with other games from Japan unlikely to come to US, sometimes we see mostly the same game just with english text, or as with TvC, even more content then the original Japanese version.

I liked Sega back in the 16-bit days, but this generation, I wouldn't do business with Sega if my life depended on it.
