Well, i can only speak for myself, but i think they generally do a good job with the stories and characters. That combined with the shenmue-esque exploration and minigames just makes for a fun time. Though i can certainly understand why some people might not like them as well. If you can't get in to the yakuza drama aspect, i don't think there's much for you here.
But basically, it's a story driven action game, and it tells a kind of story that i've never seen in a game before. If that sounds appealing to you, i'd suggest checking out maybe Yakuza 4 or, if you aren't picky with the graphics, Yakuza 2 on PS2.

Right. I think programmable shaders were adopted fairly early on consoles (xbox360/ps3) (4 Days ago)

@toelessfoot: Well, only recently they have been. I think this is the first gen I've seen where PC's are playing catch up. Not through hardware power, but through development cycles (4 Days ago)

Yeah I think innovations on the console side are taken up more quickly by PC than vice versa because consoles are really lead platform for everything (4 Days ago)

At least for most gamers. Similar to when everything went to pci-e (5 Days ago)

I think we could be seeing a dramatic shift in PC hardware where it'll be essential to own both an SSD and a next gen card with the api's to use them. That also would probably require new motherboards (5 Days ago)

If a game is built from the ground up to take advantage of that, though... (5 Days ago)
