“better than the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ remake. mine in reality is a piece of ♥♥♥♥ and is overrated. actual rikiya is awesome the new actor sucks. kagawa is a rapist. and i beat the game first time on hard and it was better than any…”
“Such a good game, probably as my favorite story so far. too bad SEGA delisted the game because they knew it would of overshadow their garbage remake”
“Farewell Yakuza 3, you were too perfect for this world. There was a change in the plan and you got replaced by something worse. Goodbye my beloved Rikiya... At least this game gave us Minedai ;)”

“Play this over Kiwami 3. The fact that the "remake" removes 75% of the substories, cripples whatever side content remains, somehow looks visually cheaper, advertises "two games in one" when said second game is just a…”
“This game ok, I like the atmosphere a lot. The combat is the weakest point of the Yakuza series, but its still like a 7/10”
“This game has a slice of life ambience, and the combat system is great. I really love Okinawa.”

“[h1] KIWAMI WHO? [/h1] In my opinion this game had the most enjoyable story after Yakuza 0; it's still super goofy, SURE! but in a good way! The story picks up much faster than Yakuza 2, which didn’t really hit its…”
“A lot of good content for their first 7th gen game with a heartfelt story to go along with it. I wish the bounty hunting would come back.”
“It is an imperfect port of a clunky PS3 game, yet I did not think I would enjoy this as much as others had said otherwise. The plot goes from slice of life orphanage stories, to land disputes (again???), to espionage…”

“For me this is the weakest of the Kazuma series. Very slow start, having to do mundane stuff with the kids. Its been a while I played the game and now that I finished the saga is when I am writing this so wont tell much…”
“♥♥♥♥ everyone who tried to convince me this game is bad because I now absolutely love this game, flaws and all. Sure, it's not for everyone. It's a port of a 17 year old game with a relatively short story and a lot of…”

“hopefully delisting this game in favor of a watered down, $60 remake that looks worse, has most of its content removed and replaced with cookie-cutter placed content from other games and a side-game that's twice the…”
“I can't believe we waited 12 years for a PC port, only to be delisted 5 years later. The only way to get this game now is just to sail the seas, leaving Sega with 0 revenue going forward. Are they stupid?”

“Great game but the fact that its a bundle exclusive now for a soulless remake is just baffling”

“Decent game. The combat is a bit rough and feels drawn out most of the time. I enjoyed the orphanage parts but those parts slow the pace of the story down dramatically. Ending is a bit out there as well. Still enjoyed…”
“this game's story is very good; however, its combat is a different story. the combat for this game relies mostly off of blocking, blocking, and more blocking. They call this game "Blockuza 3" for a reason. the pacing is…”

“You finish the first three yakuza games (including 0) and now you're seeing that "Yakuza 3 is the worst one". While I can say that it is true that yakuza 3 is probably the worst one it is not a game you should skip. The…”

“delisting yakuza 3 and locking it behind a bundle that costs $130 is scummy.”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“[h1]♥♥♥♥ you for delisting this, RGG/Sega[/h1] I have never had the best relationship with Yakuza 3. When I originally played it, I personally thought it was one of the weaker entries of the series. I enjoyed the story but what really dragged it down for me was the combat, so…”
— a player, Steam review · 52 hrs played“Y’all are trying so hard to push Yakuza Kiwami 3. Maybe if you actually cared about your fans your games would sell well and this series wouldn’t have fallen so far from grace. Despicable. This game should be relisted. Not locked behind a $130 bundle .”
