Greg Miller/IGN’s Yakuza 4 Review – My Thoughts
Usually at Segabits we would stay clear of critic bashing but I really feel this needs to be said.
This is of course in regards to the review score Greg Miller of IGN has just given Yakuza 4 (6.5/10).
Just about everyone who has played the Japanese version of the game, be it the Japanese people I’ve spoken to about it or the Westerners who have imported the game, seem to all agree that Yakuza 4 is one of the best games in the series yet. On the other side of the coin, it’s generally agreed by most fans that Yakuza 3 was the weakest installment in the series so far with a very slow start with its baby sitting children and rather monotonous fetch quests making up the first quarter of the game.
However not Greg Miller it seems, who, throughout his review, speaks about how much he enjoyed Yakuza 3’s story and, even more jarring, how Yakuza 4 has a weak story which seems to contradict what every other Yakuza fan has said.
