Support NeoGAF

[EdwardTivrusky]

as a massive fan of classic SMS art, i'm loving that, man. there's a dude at the sega forums who redid the US art for 3 & the JP release of 5 in that grid style and please believe i printed out & use both, haha

That was my inspiration for this one, those covers are amazing so i had to replicate it
Trying to get the grid to look right when resized is a pain but i'll keep tinkering for a while... dammit, the bar between title and sub-title is missing. Gah!

 

[The perfect Dark]

Give it some time.

Edit: It's up.

thanks, it's my first midnight release so I thought I may have to wait until the PSN update

 

[Agent_ShortBus]

I love all you guys for supporting Yakuza. I honestly thought dead souls would be the last localized game but then we got 5 and now everyone is hyped for this. Makes me happy we'll continue to get these localized in the future. Thanks everyone.

 

[Korezo]

Whats the ps4 pro features, I use to hate the aliasing on the ps3 yakuza game. I hope the ps4 pro mode is all asing free.

 

[ViciousDS]

The title is missing a divider!!!! Now you're going to scare everyone away damn it!!!

Lol

 

[atlusprime]

Kuze seems like a bad mother fucker. Even playing in Japanese, the guy came off as super intense and fascinating.

Y5's villains were so weak except Kiryu's rival

Rule of 80s villains:

So how long will the wait for the yakuza 1 remake be cause il wanna dive in soon as I've done 0 but I only have the PAL Ps2 version which is dubbed right?

 

[Nasbin]

I can't handle early-2017. So many good games already.

should be this summer! last i checked we didn't have an official date, but it's likely not far off
and i wanna say PAL 1 was dubbed like the US one? not certain though

 

[luulubuu]

To all of you who are buying this game early

If this is your first entry in the saga, take a comfy couch and enjoy, you will be amazed by all the content

[Son Of Sparda]

nice, man! got both, just waiting on the preorders for the Majima one next!

Did you finally manage to get that GS wallpaper Irish? xD

Took the words (and gif) outta of my mouth.

I have been waiting for this. Newcomers are in for a great game and I wait impressions =D

Yeah, man. It's so nice to see this many newcomers give the series a chance. Likewise, can't wait to see their impressions. We've already seen a few good ones and the game hasn't even officially come out yet!

I custom made an avatar for this thread, Irish & Sparda! Hopefully it looks ok, it's supposed to be an SMS game cover but i might have to edit it a bit.

Hurry up, Postie!

It doesn't look good, it looks GREAT! Really loving what you've done with it

nearby shop i called has a few left, taking my break soon to go grab one!

 

[Linkura]

Did anyone else get fucked over by the fucksticks at Amazon? Said it would be arriving tomorrow for weeks... now it's not shipping tomorrow and instead will arrive Thursday. Going to complain on their chat.

Mine still says shipping today, arriving tomorrow

 

[Sumio Mondo]

It is time. My lucky friend got it from Amazon on Sunday. Can't wait for it to arrive for me, will make a nice antidote against Gravity Rush 2. All of these charming Japanese games, it's such a great time.

 

[Chase17]

downloading now

hope to play it a bit tonight

 

[davidwhangchoi]

i liked angry joe's review, he's coming in as a new fan so it's really fresh to hear his opinion.

my best buy opens 10am. i'm ready!

 

[Linkura]

Ok, that's it. Time to go nuclear. I still have DQ8 to play but it's the principle. They did this with another game some months ago too. Not going to stand for it. Been a Prime member for several years and they've been fucking up too much lately with game preorders.

 

[Yousefb]

Faaaak. Im having a hard time deciding between this and Re7!

 

[firehawk12]

Just watching the Angry Joe review, I saw that the side missions seem to be text only. I was really hoping they'd just voice the entire game at this point.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

nearby shop i called has a few left, taking my break soon to go grab one!

Cool! I expect to at least see a picture of it when you finally get one

Faaaak. Im having a hard time deciding between this and Re7!

Well... you are here, aren't you?

 

[IrishNinja]

Faaaak. Im having a hard time deciding between this and Re7!

to be honest, after the demo i'm pretty excited for RE7 - but both are gonna have inevitable price drops, and this one really needs the sales up front to show sega that their continued effort to bring it out west should be maintained! i'd argue that your dollar goes a lot further with this one, also in terms of content. your call though!

Cool! I expect to at least see a picture of it when you finally get one

no doubt - i need to put up my figma like lik chan did too, kinda thinking i might wanna fram this thing!

When did you order? mine is from July.

 

[Hierophant]

this is the first game where I believe kiryu is actually a hardened criminal

What's the password in substory 8? I was a fool and didn't write it down

[Linkura]

October.

The person I'm chatting with now has no clue about their policies. She's like "oh the release date is 1/24. Maybe you didn't notes [sic] that." Fuck off, lady. At least she is giving me a $10 credit. If Amazon keeps doing this, though, I'm going to have to not buy games from them anymore and reconsider my Prime membership.

 

[FallingEdge]

Stated this in the other thread but 10 hours in, only at Chapter 2. Just enjoying progressing the story along when I can but getting distracted by the various minigames and substories.

 

[Sgblues]

Finally the OT is here, been dancing all this time glad to share the dance floor with others now!

It wasn't too long ago we had some "fun times"

Moral of the story? Never stop believing, no matter the odds on some things happening, no matter how dark it gets.

Now go forth and bring destruction to your foes!

No one is going to remember that, I guarantee.

You can go back and ask the guy again. This time write it down.
He's in the south entrance of that weird block where the dealer is.

so jelly you can already play...

 

[Mazre]

Really looking forward to this. It'll be my third yakuza game behind 4 and 5 but the first one I play at release.

Ah, I just assumed the substory would fail if you got it wrong.

Thanks.

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

I can't wait to play this on Friday. I've have a frolicking good time.

 

[SephLuis]

Thanks.

As far as I know, there isn't a way to fail sub stories in this one.

The ending on that one is also pretty good haha

 

[Daffy Duck]

Angry Joe review makes it sound great, how overwhelming is all the side content?

Can you get lost and in all the games and extra things to do?

[Karl_Dilkington7]

Amazon hasn't ship my order yet. Thinking about truly supporting the series and order it on PSN while I wait for the physical copy to arrive. I'm extremely tempted...

 

[Kyrios]

Can you get lost and in all the games and extra things to do?

Oh yeah, there's no shortage of extra stuff to do in Yakuza games. That's what makes them so great.

And for things like the side missions, the game paces them really well, for example, only certain side missions will open during specific chapters, so you won't have 1,000 side missions right away like in Final Fantasy XV or Dragon Age: Inquisition lol You'll have to progress the main story further to unlock more side missions.

 

[FallingEdge]

one of the substories gave me an item and when I equipped it, the enemies are incredibly aggressive and difficult, had to unequip it with the quickness lol

so jelly you can already play...

ty based mom and pop shops

 

[Shadowman16]

Angry Joe review makes it sound great, how overwhelming is all the side content?

Can you get lost and in all the games and extra things to do?

Well, there's a ton of different mini games to do, 100 odd side stories to do, two big "another drama" mini games (Money Island for Kiryu, Hostess Club management for Majima) and much more! But its all optional, so you can just focus on the main story if you'd prefer to. But I can't play the series in that way, so I always end up doing all the side stuff as I think its all designed really well on the whole (there is always an odd mini game or two that aren't all that great), its part of the Yakuza experience for me!

Him saying the story made him tear up twice has me even more hyped!

 

[𝐃esperado]

I'm so happy that people are getting excited for Yakuza 0 makes me feel warm inside

 

[Floody]

I can't find it on the UK PSN store, is it releasing later here? Or just not up for Pre-order? Would much prefer getting this through PSN than retail, but my Internet is shit.

It's not midnight yet in the UK.

I'm hoping Kiwami gets the same excitement as well. I'm actually jealous of people getting ready to play their first Yakuza game lol

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Got this preloaded and ready to go at midnight. Can't wait for more Yakuza goodness.

 

[hamchan]

Can't believe it's almost time for Yakuza again.

 

[Floody]

It's not midnight yet in the UK.

I know (well it probably is now), wanna pre-download so it's ready for tomorrow, won't be able to go to a retail store until like 6:00pm either so not really fancying my chances of finding it quick.
