Now they just call evreything a Xbox.

And every handheld is a gameboy which hasn't been on sale for time. It's only the same as calling a vacuum cleaner a Hoover.

I can only assume the Mafia was formed before the Yakuza and the Triads or because the Mafia is more known here in the west that all of them are known as Mafia.

I've come across people in London that say they are a part of the 14K Triad group but the truth is the 14k wouldn't take on people that go around telling everyone. These people are mainly wannabes from Fujian province near Taiwan. They are well known for prostitution and forgery, mainly DVD's. I know people who smuggle as well and help illegals into the country. You can't do anything about them because they are so good at covering their tracks. Back in 2002 there was an article claiming that 75% of London China town was under the 14K control.

No such thing.
"Mafia" is an Italian word. It only applies to Italian organized crime syndicates.
It's like back in the 8 and 16-bit gaming era, when ignorant parents called any and all gaming systems "Nintendos". It isn't correct if you're talking about a Sega system.
Same deal here.

I am fully aware of that.

Ever heard playing with words?
I just didn't want to use the word Yakuza, because it would be an overstatement to say that the door of the west is opened to Yakuza, with the subject being the Yakuza western release and all.

Anyway, nice to see someone caring with things being adressed by their proper names, I guess. :p

It's just because the Mafia is more well-known the world over, due to shit like the Godfather.
The term "Yakuza" and the general organizational structure they work under was established as far back as the 1600s in Japan, so it certainly isn't because "mafia" came first.

The time to buy a PS3 has finally come
KICK ASS

^^The time to buy a PS3 already came, with Uncharted 1&2 and MGS4.
Yakuza 3 is just the cherry on top.

I believe the answer is the cell, my good sir. And if you want to apply that to this gay mafia situation that you're talking about. The answer would be the cell also.

Whatever, I give up. I might get a PS3 for this game anyhow.

by **HappyKillmore** » Fri Dec 18, 2009 4:30 am

Good news! Still nothing on Kenzan though.....Looks like i'll have to carry on playing my Korean version. Time to blow the dust off the PS3!

Im getting a PS3 after xmas, so yeah, I'll get this game

.

Not the only reason Im getting a PS3, far from it, but it's an added bonus for sure!

Like Clint said, this is what Shenmue III would look like if it came out now.

Most certainly. I got that impression especially after seeing the parts in the city and the amount of "useless" side things that you can do.

by **ThyDarkAngel** » Fri Dec 25, 2009 8:40 am

Save that with Shenmue's aesthetic, colour pallette and furthermore attention to realism and detail (some of the aspects of what I call 'the Shenmue' spirit') it would look even better and (keyword) more beautifull.
