Got early thanks to SimplyGames and I've been playing since Saturday. I've never played a Yakuza game before (shameful I know), but damn is this good! There's so much depth. I'm absolutely loving
All the side stories are a lot of fun too (and many really really odd as well).
managing my cabaret club, hiring hostesses, training them up etc. Where can I hire more, aside from exchanging CP? I have the stuck-up bitch who had the guy running errands. Anyone else?
1 on 1, for sure the harder hitting modes are 'better', but when there is more than one enemiy, rush is just so much better, I think, for me at least, it's down to the way the dodging and lock on works (or doesn't!), it doesn't always seem to work in brawler, and beast is just way too slow.
Glad I preordered it from EB. Mine was the only copy they got.
Wow, I'm 23 hours in and only on chapter 8, this is a HUGE game. Granted, I spent a lot of time doing side missions and entertainment. Absolutely loving this, and loving that I have more game left. Surprisingly emotional scenes too that were unexpected. It's rare to see this quality of story in video games very much.
Here's hoping this game is a huge success for Sega in the west!

In the first chapter when we have to
get to the offices of the debt collector
Quick question GAF:
I'm currently inbetween ISPs and houses and whatnot so I have no 'real' access to internet (I can hotspot with my cell phone but only for megabyte large, crucial patches, nothing along the lines of modern 10gb+ Day patches...)
So my question is, can/should I just get this by getting a physical copy of the game or do I need some important day 1 patch or content which the game would suffer from not having (eg important performance patches or whatnot...)?
Thanks

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
For all new players. Baseball bats are your friend.
Am sure you will figure out the timing of that when you meet a certain persistent NPC lol.

The game has been out for a year and a half in Japan, so it would be weird if this new version wasn't up to date, so I think you are good to go!

Rush style feels SOOOO GOOOD.
If there is any time the phrase "greater than the sum of it's parts" is relevant, it's with this game.
I am sure there will be a lot of people who will look at some parts of the game in isolation, probably complaining that the gameplay and combat is simplistic, or that the world isn't big enough, or that the graphics are bad, but if you do that, you are missing the point.
It's a combination of all these parts that makes this a special game.

I think there's a small day one patch but it's nothing that you need to play the game. Also, if you can find the Launch day Business Edition, I'd say the Card holder more than makes up for the trouble of going out and trying to get the physical copy.

I ordered it from Amazon UK and it's just saying "Not Yet Shipped" with an expected date of Thursday but if you look at the store page they don't seem to have any in stock. Not exactly filling me with confidence.
Got my copy safe and sound!
I actually prefer Goro's cue when he learns a new style "Holy Shit!"

Can someone tell me what the icons on the left of the screen are for?
I have one up constantly that looks like some kind of gamepad or something and I had another above it for a while that looked like a bottle....
The game never explained what these were and I'm a couple hours in now.

.The bottle one is for alcohol. It tracks how much alcohol you made your character drink.
Depending on how intoxicated you are, you'll find difficulty in making your character turn when running. Also, you'll pick fights more easily.
The upside is that your Heat gauge fills more quickly. Also, certain moves/fighting style incorporate being drunk into them.

Yakuza series system data found.
You got the Dragon Amulet and Mad Dog Gloves as presents.
I played Ishin on my earlier PS4 before the pro.
Jesus. This is amazing

This is me as well. It's just so fast and fluid that playing any other style just feels wrong atm.
Man, I can't even imagine how frustrating that must have been. I was ready to hit my head against the wall in my first playthrough and I was playing at normal difficulty!
Not sure, since I'm still pretty early in the game but supposedly you have to do the sub-stories for each character.
I know, right? It's so addictive.
That's your pager. You can see its messages in the pause menu.
From what I could gather from internet, going through each characters "business" missions unlocks abilities...

There are always minor bonus items for having previous Yakuza games save data, but don't worry, it's nothing special, I still have a sealed Ishin copy lying next to Y0 copy and won't even bother creating a save for those items.
btw. Dancing mini-game is sooooo goooooood, but very difficult at first to get down the timing, already maxed out all Kiryu's dance-offs.

no idea maybe you can find them in the game at some point ?

Only 6 hours left at work before I can play this!!!
I bought a cheap, used copy of 3 to get me familiar with the mechanics and accidentally put 17 hours into it at the weekend. I'm hooked on the series now!
How well regarded in the series is 3? Should I expect 0 to be more of the same or better?
Either way I win.

Its absolutely wonderful and, to me, much better than Kiryu's business (which has little to no interaction aside from clearing "troubles").
The cabaret minigame and progression are an absolute joy to play. Feels so satisfying to fight for that wealthy clientele and once you have 2-3 seated at the same time drop that happy hour bomb.

So far my favorite dancing song, especially the ending which sarts around 1:10, so energetic, but it was a bitch to max on the dancing floor.

Only an hour and a half for me!
Should've tried to work as much as I could with my thesis yesterday, cause with this and ToB, I don't think I'll be able to do any meaningful writing for the rest of the week lol.
And they tell you, every, single, time, what they do.
Seriously game, I only need to be told once I can save and use the item box!

Finally, a place to put my business card
Hey, that's mine!
Man I feel like I picked up the last copy in Brisbane CBD.
And yeah I feel they really understocked this game in all stores, I honestly don't think they knew what they had in this release. The guy at the EB store had no idea what the Yakuza series was...
I'm both extremely happy that this is selling very well here in Australia, and alittle pissed that more people aren't able to easily pick up a copy, possibly impacting on sales alittle.
Because the more Yakuza I can squeeze into my life, the better person I become, and the better the human species as a whole becomes.
