“No time for love, Dr. Jones”
I played the Yakuza 3 Japanese demo for quite awhile and noticed some stuff that was missing from the US demo. First of all the arcade section was missing AnswerXAnswer arcade mini-game.
Then I also noticed that they took off hostess bar section. You can’t try it out in the demo, leading me to believe it is not going to be in the full game since the US trophy list that was just released is missing the 2 hostess trophies. This also confirms a rumor that came out a few months ago saying that the western release wouldn’t have the hostess sections in it.
Why did SEGA edit out hostess content from this game and not the others? No idea.
Ad:
I''m outraged that the stuff I skipped in Yakuza 1 and 2 is going to be left out of 3!
But this was in the other two, wasn't it? Makes no sense. 😐
The hostesses are based on real women, so I assume SEGA removed them so they did not have to pay royalties to them.
seriously it is so simple, the fucking side quests had a bucket load of text in it and it was all fucking useless.
It didn't even fit the character of Kazuma Kiryu to be chatting up hores, while the love of his life is missing, or his adopted daughter is kidnapped or some fucking rival gang is about to take over your city.
I will admit that they could be amusing but Sega will probably be saving a hell of a lot of translation fees by removing shit like that.
I'm honestly unfazed. I never took this part of the game seriously.
Now they should put in more fighting to make up for it.
