Getting involved in such a discussion was kind of a dick move, I confess.
Whatever. A man’s good ad is another man’s bad ad, right? To me, it lacks mockery to make it work, at least in France. A Greek god look-alike with a big dick/cannon? Meh. Lazy and predictable. The same guy with a tiny dick, or a skinny, ugly guy with the most massive of bludgeons? We’re getting there. Sorry to sound…
Indeed, even though I reckon that most of the commenters here are from the “Western world”, and discuss the ad from that point of view. “no /S”
You’re right. And it’s true that it might look audacious for a US audience... In France? Not so much.
Well, when you’re looking for an ad idea, there’s always a dick joke that comes up from the beginning (and I wasn’t the last to find some sexual innuendo), but after a “ha, good one!”, we moved on to something else. Let’s face it, dick ads are just lazy.
I’ve been working as a copywriter in an ad agency for 6 years, and I can’t see much audacity there. To me, it’s just distasteful, and not even funny (a huge tank with a very small cannon might have been funnier), but each to their own, obviously.
OK, I get your point now. Sure, maybe an open world à la GTA would draw more audience to the Yakuza series, and at least make it get better reviews on some gaming websites. Still, and I can only talk for myself as a Yakuza fan, I’ve never been bothered by the size of the open areas. True, I’m not a GTA fan, I tried…
Considering the PS4 domestic sales and its success abroad, getting a localization earlier than usual couldn’t be excluded. It could be tempting for Sega to make some profit in a shorter span, even if the Yakuza franchise is not exactly a blockbusting IP in North America/Europe. But hey, I know it’s Sega we’re talking…
Yakuza 2? You spend as much time in Osaka’s Dotonbori district as in Kamurocho.
Switch controller ports, Snake!
I know, all because of the weather, right? That’s what I’ll tell the missus...
Kotaku being Kotaku, that’s the kind of image your reply suggests to me...
Oh, come on, it’s the internet and it’s good ole Fahey! Let’s just relax and get a little colloquial, not because we’re disrespectful, but for the sake of l’amitié kotakuesque!
You should really do more reviews in French, you sound vraiment great! Allez, Fahey, s’te plaît ! I just hope that Lay’s has a French competition, now...

I don’t want to stereotype
it’s deviously grisly
But... Where is the wheelbarrow?!
