10 Times Games Developers Said F**k You To The Fans

3. No Yakuza 5 In The West

SegaSegaFor many the slightest rumour that the next in Sega's phenomenal Yakuza series could be coming to Western shores creates enough excitement to forget the last word in Grand Theft Cornflakes. It stands to reason that for any who have devoted the time to the character-focussed melee-combat RPG has it up there on a list of the greatest games of all time. Therefore it's a strange one that the series hasn't really caught on over here in a way that the developers think justifies them paying for localisation - but why bring out the other Yakuza games if not the newest one? Part five has been out in Japan for almost two years now, and with Yakuza 6 pretty much on its way too it's a giant slap in the face to those who have put hundreds of hours in the previous games, only to not be able to keep going.
