Моя реакция на все это спокойно описывается одной картинкой:
Поначалу мне показалось, что это все первоапрельская шутка. Потом вспомнил, что мой день рождения был уже 2,5 месяца назад. Я до сих пор не могу понять, как все это может нормально уместиться в одной-единственной игре. Как это все не помешает сюжету, который обещает быть "самым эпичным в истории "Якудз". И как Yakuza Studio сделали это параллельно с разработкой нового движка и Binary Domain (в Японии-то игра выходит в декабре!).
Либо это будет лучший выпуск Ryu ga gotoku... Либо это будет Saints Row The Third (безумие) x Red Dead Redemption (сюжет) по-японски. ПЕРЕВЕДИТЕ НАМ ЭТУ ИГРУ!
