Would anybody know why Guilty Gear isn't up on the psn store yet in Hong Kong. According to the blog it should of released today. I searched it and I didn't see it. Its about 9:31 pm in Hong Kong so it should of updated by now.
The game is up on the Hong Kong store. I purchased it a few hours ago.
Here's the link

Wow, setting up the HK account was so easy, PlayAsia code was instant, half way through the download as I type. My last experience buying through a foreign PSN store involved fake addresses and virtual credit cards, long time back and this was so much easier.
Thanks for the help Von Krukru + Horseress. I was resigned to waiting for this game, begrudgingly putting in an order with VG+ last night. Did not think I would be playing it today. Happy times!

What's the early impressions so far?
Dont you just log on to your account and play once installed?
Make the JP/HK account "Your Main console" then switch over to your main account.

Ah, thanks. I was prompted but initially worried it may do something negative to my main account.
Had alot of fun playing last night with some friends online that live near me. The netcode could be better imo but its playable. Had a 4 bar connection with a friend that lives an hour away and we had 2 frames of delay. Whats funny is the delay actually made it easier for me to do venom IAD stuff b/c i keep doing it to fast. Im digging YRCs tho. If i have meter i can just go ham on offense which is something i've been missing for long time.

Enjoy! I'm from europe, I was resigned to wait that delayed US limited edition, if my local store even managed to get their hands on it before 2015!
But that HK digital release is a present from the gods! Thanks GAF for letting me know!
Having played a bit of the story mode, I like its presentation. I read up on the Chronology in the pause menu and, despite there being a few intricacies I feel I'm missing in the timeline, I think it does a good job of getting me to know about the state of the world and characters being new to GG.
I'm not sure how I feel about the dialogue moving at an automatic pace without there being an option to do it manually, though (at least not that I've found). In games like this, I tend to go over a lot of words carefully and it prevents me from doing so, but at least it has the typical dialogue archive for when I've missed something. Also, is there a place I'm missing where all the terms from the "Quick Terminology" menu are stored for later consumption? Sometimes words are highlighted in yellow and, by pressing triangle, it pops up a menu that expounds on the term, but that definition will be gone once the dialogue passes.
Edit: Ah wait, the automatic pace actually was something I was missing: listed as "Auto Reload" in the Story Settings menu (weird name for it).
Edit 2: Also, there should be a glossary in the main menu for that stuff, so that takes care of my two issues.

dang even Infiltration is playing this. Nice to see a Korean contingent interested in this game though from several streamers, always enjoy their players making it out to events or hosting their own.
Just regular version and LE (LE delayed though). No bonus for pre-ordering either.
i don't mind playing this with the ds4 pad, always preferred to play the arc sys work fighters on pads over stick for some reason... but my poor thumb
After day 1 i think I'll main Millia but it's early. Now to watch some pro Millias that will do combos I can never do and make me go to someone else.
I've been getting a lot of 8 frame delay games between aus and japan, they show up as 4 bars for me, a heck of a lot better than when i play blazblue/persona against japanese opponents where i usually always saw 0 bar connections...
Feels good to me, a fuckload better than any fighting game I've played online this year so far which would be Steam Ultra SFIV, Persona Ultimax, Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate and BB CP...

Ugh, I've been reading some dreadful reports on the netcode
If it remains as bad as it sounds even after next week's patch I will have to skip this, good online play is a must for me since I don't have scenes anywhere near me.

Don't know if you found your answer yet, but in case you didn't: you can buy them from Play-asia.

That's usually where I go to buy PSN cards. You pay, they give you the code, and voilà!
I'm still on the fence about the game. Would like to play it with a stick, but I would also like to play it on PS4, for the prettier graphics. And I don't want to buy a PS4 stick just for this game alone...

Enjoyed the demo but thus music is the worst
Now that's blasphemy.

It truly is a gift from the gods! I had no fighters for the PS4, now I have 2 in 2 days. LOL
Yeah I can't find any place that will get me the game for at least $60

I wish there was a full 3d free roaming game with these graphics, then I'd be in heaven

Oh I've been playing those, but they weren't really newer games of GG, just updates and such. I have GG ACP R for my Vita, but I've been waiting that long for a true, newer Guilty Gear.

Bought two cards on cardscodes for 64 dollars but as an EU importer that's still cheaper than the game would be here retail.
Downloaded the game, tried some arcade mode but I really can't do any SKR motions or double quarter circles consistently with the controller. Just ordered a Titan One so I can use my Xbox stick.

How much is the digital version?
I think it's under 5900 yen, and 421 HK?
And wow, it's cheaper for me to import from Nippon Yasan than it is to buy digital codes online.
There is no way that there is no fighting at all in the story mode. That sounds impossible. However, there is a lot of story and dialogue, so they're likely few and far apart.

There is no fighting in story mode. None whatsoever. After you watch it you get 100,000 world dollars for completing it.
Wow, I stand corrected. It's interesting that they'd go full VN after their previous games; about how long is it?
Hm, shorter than I expected, as well. I wonder if the step up in production values for the story is a reason for this.
badgerfan20945

It took me about 3.5-4 hours.
Wow.... that is just so disappointing
ONe of the best parts of GGXX for me was seeing boss versions of characters and getting different outcomes.So many potentially good fights seem wasted.

I think the worst part is that some of the characters have very little screen time. You see Potemkin for 1 minute. He says 3 lines and he's never seen again.
I guess I'm into the idea of a shortened story, even with no fights, if it eliminates bloat. I'm just surprised there's apparently no context in the story at all where a fight could happen that's resolved through gameplay, but not feeling forced to implement that also gives more freedom to the writers to convey what they want to, I suppose.
This is true.
But in GG i liked that i could pick a character i liked and play THEIR story.
Not sure why they changed it, maybe based on fan feedback, or the fact they did XBlaze which is just a VN basically and wanted to put more of that into other games. Not sure.

Wtf?? So there is only versus mode or what?
Or does the arcade mode have some story like in Street fighter?
Arcade mode is there and yeah it's like SF. Very bare bones compared to their other games.

Arcade is the start of the story. Story mode continues after the events of arcade mode.

I see. So you guys think we get enough for the money? I'm a little concerned though. :-
