NOTE: I forgot to credit the videos I borrowed footage from because I lost the footage I had of these games myself.
The Yakuza series may not have gigantic open worlds, but they’re bigger and better than any sprawling map found in your typical “AAA” game these days.

Now if only they will port it to the PC
Please put a “will induce physical pain” warning for that congress person rap.
That Fresh Prince vid is so incredibly cringy. Where can I find the rest of it?
What in Satan’s name was that rap?
Alone on a Friday night? Just remember these yakuza.
Oh fuck yes let’s talk about how awesome yakuza is!
That opening made me cringe harder than when I first heard the Smurfs version of I’m Too Sexy.
Nice! This game looks Awesome!
Sega please bring yakuza to PC

Jim, you took your gloves off this week. Next week I expect another striptease where you take off one additional article of clothing. This will escalate each week until you’re fully nude.
Thank you for shedding more light on the Yakuza series (: the series deserves as much love and support as possible! I honestly believe the series is the perfect example of how open world games should be, and has become one of my favorite series because of that!
Compact game worlds with more fleshed out and detailed areas is something that definitely need to be more common. It’s one of the things I really liked about the modern Deus Ex games. From the hub worlds to the levels – if you take in to consideration just running through them they’d be tiny relative to other games, but each is filled with items and secrets to be found along with computers to break in to and multiple resolutions to all sorts of obstacles. It’s clear to me that proper execution can make either wide open worlds or more compact open worlds both viable and fun, but it seems the former has taken hold as the status quo and the latter is neglected in areas where it could be more beneficial.
