    Nope, not really. I've still got the previous 3 Yakuza games to play.

    Nah. I won't pick 2 though cause that's not why. It wouldn't be particularly fun to watch, and I don't think they would enjoy playing through it. The reason the P4 ER was great was because it was a very good game that Vinny and Jeff really enjoyed.

    Yakuza games have their grindy moments, but the weirdness, storylines, etc. make it a pretty decent ER candidate.

    It would be cool if they did it, but I don't think they will.  And us harping on them to do another Endurance run only makes them less likely to do one.

    If they decide to do another Endurance Run, they should do a game that's good and/or fun to watch . Yakuza doesn't seem to be either of those things.

    It has the weirdness factor, the game itself leans a little too much on the boring side to watch. I could barely stand to watch the quick look and I loved Yakuza 3. I want to play 4, but I'm not looking forward to that one hour chunk of time that I already saw.

    I've got a better suggestion:  DRAGON QUEST VIII: Journey Of The Cursed King.
     
    As someone who's beaten the game like 20 times, it would be perfect for an Endurance Run. Totally dude.

    I'd watch it. I can imagine them getting all tied up in the story. And it couldn't be anymore unbearable than the aimless driving in Deadly Premonition or the dungeon crawling in Persona. 
     
    On a side note it'd be super-duper awesome if one team played 3 while the other played 4.

    Yakuza is actually a really great series. I think you guys judging it by the Quick Looks would be really surprised. A section from Persona 4 would be just as boring and lame out of context.
     
    That said, no. Just begging for an Endurance Run is lame.

    The Yakuza series is very old school in their pacing, gameplay and story. That's why I love them. I don't think any of the guys have the patience, nor do I think it will be entertaining, to do an endurancerun of Yakuza 4

    Agreed. It would also be interesting to see a Jeff and Ryan team like the Quick Look.

    I usually cringe at Endurance Run suggestion threads but this is actually a legitimate candidate. It's the right combination of a heavy emphasis on story, wacky Japanese charm, and bizarre outdated game-play from 1999. In order for an Endurance Run to work the participants must suffer for our entertainment and this game will deliver on that aspect of an Endurance Run. But I would imagine they wouldn't even consider doing it until the game has been out for some time so it sells all that it can.

    I think it would be kinda boring with the lack of voice acting, the constant text scrolling noise would annoy me after the first 10 videos i reckon.

    Yeah while watching the quicklook, all that was going through my mind was that : "This would make for an amazing Endurance run" 
     
    Can they make it like a subscriber perk? Or hell, just a whole extra subscription for it? I'll pay whatever they ask.

    ...After they meander through the cut scenes and Japaneese cigarettes.

    It seems like one of the only games on the market suited for an Endurance Run: quirky, lots of story, long, rpg elements, simple combat.

    As long as Ryan isn't in control. Oh man, he makes the worst decisions! 
     
       Yes 
    ->No 
     
    Choosing to go back and do one of the longest, most boring and pointless substories. 
     
    Not getting into a fight in a game where the crux is beating guys up. 
     
    Not walking into a hostess club?
