This is pretty much my plan but doesn't that leave me in sort of an awkward position for the rest until 6? I do own a PS2 and for some reason (despite me not ever playing the Yakuza series) I bought Yakuza 2 a couple years back. It's weird that it is finally gonna come in handy but I wish they were remaking 2... Then there are the PS3 ones which I do not own at all.

Sorry to tell you bud
Thanks dude, that sucks though.
But there is still gonna be a digital version on eu psn right?

Oh yes of course. You guys are just not gonna be able to buy it before the launch date to preload/etc.
Not too big of a deal for me then! Shame for other people with sub par internet though.
Can't wait for this game! Thanks again for the info.
I'm on a 100/100mbps connection and it's still a big deal for me lol
The PSN download speeds are fucking trash. Kind of unbelievable how slow they are, really. Usually downloading stuff at like 1/20th of my connection speed.
At first I was bummed to find out it comes two days before Tales, cause the latter will probably take precedence. But with the PSN speeds, it's a real possibility it won't even download before Berseria unlocks.

I've just placed my pre-order with TheGameCollection in the UK. Hopefully they'll do a slightly early delivery

Congrats man! That's money well spent. Well, at least for Yakuza 0 cause I think the new Fate looks really bad

Which is why i got it retail so I can trade it in later >=3
Also once the game opens up it becomes the very DEFINITION of Cyber Tourism or whatever the term these new age kids use.
Seriously if you don't get the urge to use that Share button and take screenshots of every corner of Kamurocho, you are NOT paying attention to the effort and detail the team at SEGA were doing in this game.
Sold! Looking forward to Tuesaday so I can see what these Yukaza games are all about.
Good work on the thread OP. As someone who is clueless on the series, thanks for taking the time to explain all of this.

The game starts slow but it is mostly character and story with introduction o the combat system
Atay with it and once it opens up you will begin to see why the series is so appreciated
Also money flies out of enemies when u beat he shit out of them

Hah, that's a smart decision then.
And Don't worry, we'll fill the OT with pictures once the game is out. I even plan to make small clips of me styling on fools (if everything goes according to plan).
You know, we can even hold friendly disco competitions and such! We did this for DMC4 in a local forum and it was so fun. We can pick a song and difficulty and then post our scores to see who did better.

Yoooo so jelly right now =)
So I read some where in this Thread that a sealed copy of Y2 is a lot of money and I decided to check how much a disc copy was... it looks like it goes for about $85! So I bought Yakuza 2 about 2 years ago for like $4 at GameStop with absolutely no knowledge of the series and how rare that game was. What luck! Naturally I hooked up my PS2 to test it out because I wasn't sure if it even worked and it ran great. The only thing is that the cutscenes were so interesting that I wanted to play the actual game lol. So what do you guys think, should I play it or sell it? From what I heard the game is pretty bad by today's standards but the beginning was good enough to interest me. Obviously wait till I play 0 and the remake of part 1 but should I keep it?

why does it still say Ps4 console exclusive?
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Is it not? It's not coming to XB1 or Switch, so...
Don't read anything into it.

Who knows, Atlus manager that wrote about 100 times on twitter it's PS4 exclusive said it must be a Sony thing, because there's definitely no PC/XO version in the works.
Because Sony is dumb and doesn't even get it right in their own videos.

haha, i remember you noticed this and asked waaaay back =)
Best manager for a money battle =D
Never bet against Nugget.
Y2 is one of the best stories in the series and the gameplay is much better than Y1. I think it's still absolutely worth a play.
You should play 0, wait for Kiwami (Y1 remake) and then play Y2.

I see the top right corner of the Launch edition is smashed crushed. Please tell me it got this way because you had to put the beat down on some thugs when you decided to take a shortcut through an alleyway?

console exclusive usually implies that there's at least a PC version.
if you say so, man.
XOTWOD
omg yeah! but at least that time yoshida responded and said it was a mistake.
you would think they'd have fixed it by now. the original box had it right.

Because the PS3 version is not coming out in the west.

It's a lot less like streets of rage and a lot more like a jrpg with brawling instead of turn based battles. Great game but not really like a sidescrolling brawler

The people at Atlus and SEGA have said before that there is no plan for a PC version. It would be best to not expect one.
Well it doesn't matter to me. I'll play it on my ps4.
not this again!

Yeah, the branding isn't really all that confusing. The game had a PS3 version in Japan which is not making it over here. So the western version is a PS4 console exclusive. Simple.

agree^, they made that clear on twitter but i can't find the thread with the post ATM
Sorry, my bad. I was happy thinking that maybe more of my friends would be able to experience the yakuza series

Not sure so far it's only for PS3 (Japan only) and PS4, no signs of another platform release.

Eh I tossed the box in the bin after I took out the game. It was like that when I bought it from the shop.
Trust me I don't get worked up on various things so this little bump didn't bother me

that's what i plan on, but i'm getting Yakuza on PSN so...yay me.
I'm getting DQ8 and Resi, but DQ8 is more long term as my commute game...and also I'm getting those two games with an amazon giftcard i got for christmas so really Yakuza will be the first "purchase" of the year.
Nice! DQVIII is great also. Great characters in games is a big positive to me, and both Yakuza 0 and DQVIII has that.

There isn't a PC ver. yet, but y'all kids know I'ma double dip AND gift Y0 should it ever get a Steam release.
But if you got a PS4 and you want a kickass action experience then you better get this game, it'll be worth the asking price and more.
EDIT: Oh and so far here are my Jan. purchases since we're putting up our lists :V
Jan- Yakuza 0, Fate Musou, Fire Emblem Fates Conquest, Fossil Fighters 3DS
Feb.- DQ8 3DS, Gravity Rush 2, Yoshi's Wolly World 3DS, Berserk Musou PS4

Think I'll be able to walk into Best Buy on Tuesday and pick this up? Are quantities going to be limited?

Nah, I don't see it happening on either platform. But I wouldn't mind Steam release [switch is gonna flop hard imo, wii u 2.0], it would only help the series with some additional sales.

Poor John...I wonder how much he still gets this on a daily basis (if any), I mean I bug him for other things, but this has got be a pain to read on a constant basis.
