why does it still say Ps4 console exclusive?

Does the US get the PS3 version too? Or just the PS4?

 

[SpikedGunner]

no, just the PS4 version, same with Kiwami.

 

[Tailzo]

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.

Sorry, I didn't mean to start any bothersome discussion.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Just PS4, hence the PS4 console exclusive branding.

 

[The Artisan]

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

why does that matter? they're both playstation brands

Fixed.

based off of an earlier discussion in this thread i don't think the yakuza games are gonna show up on a nintendo console again. but i could be wrong

 

[SpikedGunner]

Sorry, I didn't mean to start any bothersome discussion.

Oh no, it's not you, just that this gets brought up a lot, so I imagine John has to deal with it constantly as a PR person...but it's also part of the job I suppose.

It's the same deal with persona, so who knows what's up with that. It's best to not think about it too much.

If only everyone came to this conclusion, it would have spared us some really silly threads.

"Only On PlayStation" might give some people the wrong idea that the PS3 version might be coming to west as well, since that's a PS brand too. But "PS4 Console Exclusive" means that you only see this game on this console. It's just to avoid the confusion in regards to the PS3 version.

Don't know why are they doing it with Persona 5 though.

Only one week until my vacation to Kamurocho!
Hang in there Nugget!

So im currently playing this and its very fun.

I have a question about the battle system:

I see that when i am in brawler style and i grab an enemy i can press triangle to do a special attack and deplete the gauge for one bar but when i enter another style i don't know how to do any more 'special moves' (forgot the in-game term).

Help?

They're called Heat attacks.
You can do them with anything you can pick up.

Ahh so just when you pick something up (or person)

Is there any other way to deplete the gauge and do other special attacks? (Maybe unlocking some abilities will)

Thanks

There's lots of really conditional ones like having a certain amount of health and standing near something etc, even having something in your inventory in the case of Yakuza 5. There's a LOT of Heat attacks in these games and discovering them is part of the fun.

Try going into the options and checking for a menu with a list of all the stuff that you've unlocked so far. Yakuza games have almost always had a list of attacks available to you and how to do them so you can check there.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Can't wait for this. Hopefully Best Buy doesn't fuck up my in-store pickup preorder.

 

[Demonfang]

Thanks guys. First Yakuza title for me!

 

[Tizoc]

Mind if I post impressions? They'll be spoiler-free so that first timers would get an idea of what to expect starting out.

 

[nikos]

GAF, this is all your doing. I told myself I'd change in 2017. I caved.

There is a wide variety of heat moves you can pull off in 0, many of them require you to unlock them first before they can be used (list of heat moves should be viewable in the upgrades tab of the menu).
Also, as you progress you can unlock other moves (such as parries and counter moves) that also require between 1-3 bars of your heat gauge in order to use them.

6 more days, David. 6 more days...

 

[Seraphis Cain]

So uh, I just noticed a bit of an unfortunate typo in the OP...

Out of nowhere, Sega announced Yakuza 3 for a 2010 release (1 year after Japan) for the west, but drew huge ire from fans of the series, when they announced that they would cut certain aspects such as hostage clubs and a japanese quiz Answer x Answer from the game citing that these weren't aspects western audiences would be able interested in and possibly complete.

 

[Tizoc]

Could've been worse, he could've written about the fisting artistry!

 

[davidwhangchoi]

Please do!

Still the day of release. It was the same with XV and that game was out 2 weeks or so before its actual release date.

[Kyrios]

Man, only a week left but it's gonna feel like forever.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Going by how some of these clubs can be expensive, hostage seems legit.

Now everyone raise your hands and drop your wallets !

nice Freezy =) those amiami pre-orders will have to wait

 

[adamsapple]

How are people getting the game this early and I can't

 

[Freezasaurus]

I know that feeling.

That's what happens with physical releases, sometimes people just get lucky and find the right shop at the right time that happens to be selling something early.

nice Freezy =) those amiami pre-orders will have to wait

I only have one figure this month anyway, everything else DELAYED.

 

[Eggbok]

I'm actually really excited to play this, never played a Yazkua game but I've always been interested since the PS2 days.

 

[nikos]

Is it safe to stream, or will I end up getting banned?

I see people have streamed, it but also believe there's an embargo.

 

[Jimrpg]

So uh, I just noticed a bit of an unfortunate typo in the OP...

Good to know someone read the OP.

Fixed it now. Thanks!

 

[bishopcruz]

Was out of town for a couple of days, can someone yakuza-ify my avatar?

Also Jelly as fuck for those who got the game early.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Q1 is fking ridiculous this year with this many big releases. I swear we're getting more now than the freaking holidays usually. Like it's wayyyy too much.

Yep 2017 Q1-Q2 is like 2001 Q3-Q4 all over again. Pretty sure i'll buckle when Nier or Persona 5 hits even though I told myself I'll hold off until a discount.

Ah you beat me! Plus I just realised yours is better.
