since the TC took so much effort to create the exact same thread posted minutes ago, I'll take the same amount of effort to paste my response.

as already mentioned. The TC doesn't know what he's talking about. I've yet to see any "cows" hype this game AAA.

@TC: you should really take a look at this thread made a day or two ago:

I love the arbitrary fanboys hyping Yakuza 3 AAA set up so it'll be more conveniently to call it a flop afterwards. How very clever!:lol:

that's exactly what's happening here.

I think I speak for European/North American Yakuza fans everywhere when I say we couldn't give a damn about the score, we're just glad to have it coming our way!

How can people say that Killzone 2 is AAAE if the first one wasn't even AE!

I'm not saying Yakuza is AAAE -- the demo made me laugh in all the wrong ways -- but just because its predecessors weren't great doesn't mean it isn't.

Yakuza 3 Tops Half Million

No stopping Sega's Japanese gangster series.March 19, 2009 - Sega's Yakuza 3 has done something few PS3 games before it have achieved: made it into the Media Create Japanese top ten three weeks in a row. Sure enough, the game is one of the best selling PS3 games yet. In fact, it just crossed the half million mark in shipped units, Sega announced today.

Yakuza 3 was first released on February 26. Following months of furious promotions from Sega that covered everything from traditional print and television ads to wilder tie-ups involving beef bowl shops and suntan spas, the game debuted at number one in its first week, with over 370,000 units sold. With Resident Evil 5 and Warriors Orochi Z following closely, the game has fallen since the opening week, but continues to remain in the top ten.

Sega also announced today that the Yakuza series as a whole has topped the 3.2 million mark. This figure includes sales both within Japan and throughout the world.

No its not :| When I bought ODST I got a full campaign, Firefight mode (which alone gathered 10-20 hours of playtime) and then all the multiplayer content for Halo 3, little of which I already owned. So ODST itself lasted me about 20-30 hours and the multiplayer disc even longer. Rip off? Not a chance.

ODST >Halo 3 Everyday. I like it a lot more. Its tougher, makes you a human for once, and its better overall. And Firefight is great.

DragoonKain1687
I agree, Yakuza are supposed to be very japanese games and it is supposed to show how is the japanese undersground Yakuza culture. I personally find that dwelving into another culture very interesting but I know that most people just think is weird so they dismiss it as rubbish. That's why is obvious this is not an AAA game on the west, at best AA but I think it is getting A. I also got a little dissapointed and don't know if I'm getting the westernized version anymore after hearing of the cuts made to the game. They did it to make it more appealing for western audience but it also makes it less appealing to their real fans and those of us who could appreciate it for what it is. http://ps3.kombo.com/article.php?artid=12101

I loveSW its the only place where facts arent needed. Back on point no one really hyped this game like that cause it wasnt coming west. Now that its coming west fans of the games dont care if it scores a 2 they are gonna buy it cause they are fans. So this thread gets the FAIL SEAL of APPROVAL!!!

I have yet to see a hype thread period for yakuza 3. I espcially have not seen anyone say AAA. I personally think it could get a 8 at least,but going by gs review of the first 2 I say 7.

That's true, but it's the actual game that prevents Yakuza from getting an AAA. From the lackluster graphics to the awkward fighting mechanics to the switching back and forth between voiced cutscenes and text, the game is seriously janky.

Have to agree with this. Just poor production all the way around. Definitely not up to this generation's standards. The game is AE, AAE hype at best if it gets a generous review.

Just chipping in and saying I agree with both of you guys. I'm not even going to bother replying to the TC, I owned a previous TC who made the exact same thread and he didn't reply back;).

After playing the demo I would be VERY surprised if Yakuza 3 managed to get a AAA rating. I'm predicting a 7.5-8.5 tops

Do you have any evidence that this was ever hyped AAAE? I've barely seen any threads even mentioning it. I'd say it will be B-A

That's been going on for a few years. It's a shame too. I guess with no exclusives popping up so soon, the fun is bashing other exclusives?

Oh well....same old SW. lol at Heavy Rain flop manipulation. Putting scores, a poll, and a sticky for the game to manipulate hype? That's not how it's done.:|

Also, comparisons to Killzone make no sense, since the demo for Yakuza is out and it's not anything special, unlike the KZ2 Beta and Demo's. Finally, we can see the scores for all three games, and see it's just going to be a fun little game that PS3 almost didnt' get.

I don't see ONE person in this thread so far Hyping it AAA or AA that is a reputable account. Heck I don't even see low level alt accounts hyping this AA. However, you can see the polls are already being manipulated in the fun fashion we see above.

Take a niche game, hype it AAA (like Heavy Rain) and get ready to bash it to heck! :PIt's a great formula that's worked for a few years, and there is no one going to stop them, because too many don't understand what's happening.

Even though, we see no actual posts claiming AAAE or even AAE at least in this thread.;)

This is one of those little forgotten games. Perhaps the TC is smart in trying to find a method to stop the trend we've seen.

Also, alt accounts will pop up and claim funny things like AAAE! just for lulz, so be weary of those guys. It hasn't happened in this thread, but I've seen it numorous times. Then, that alt account is referred to by users as the entire faction HYPING it AAAE later in conversations.

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"]I'm starting to think lemmings are randomly making up hype for games just so they can turn around and call it a flop later.SolidTy

That's been going on for a few years. It's a shame too. I guess with no exclusives popping up so soon, the fun is bashing other exclusives?

Oh well....same old SW. lol at Heavy Rain flop manipulation. Putting scores, a poll, and a sticky for the game to manipulate hype? That's not how it's done.:|

Cows didnt underhype Uncharted 2 or GOW3...etc hyping the game which will 100% get AAAE is a smart idea.

For a long time the tactic was to was to hype practically every game as AAA in troll threads (produce a huge list of forthcoming games as AAA's) and then hype them as A or AA in the "official" thread. You had people posters telling others not to vote as AAA so they couldn't get "owned". It killed the real hype threads. Now you have crappy polls.

[QUOTE="Revan_911"][QUOTE="Ratchet_Fan8"]

Yakuza 1 & 2 got less than 8.0 on BOTHGS and MC.

7's ARE good,but its more of a rent than a keeper.=/

Dont get the hype....Demo was nothing grounbreaking either

Ratchet_Fan8

Yakooza ,haha. And the game was never hyped AAAE

O rly? looking back at 09 PS3 fans where hyping the game alot,find any "2010 is teh year of Station3" and i guarrante there will be a list including Yakuza 3 in it (getting a high Hype)

and KZ2's demo was atleast more impressive than this ones,i was actually quite taken back

Almost every PS3 excusive is hyped as AAAE...Then the sincable fans (not fanboys) realized that it dosen't look like an AAAE title but they are bundle into the lemming group becaues they don't agree with the fanboys then when cows get proven wrong they turn around and say "No one hyped it as AAAE".

Playing the Japanese Demo a while back I know that there's no way in hell it's AAAe. It'll be luck to get Ae.
