same thing happened to me. the first night i was stuck about 2 hours trying to beat those guys. i have my difficulty setting on "hard." i started all over and brought some health drinks before arriving.
(just really needed one health drink)
once you get past them the curve is much easier right after.

bad gameplay lol
Quick question for anyone who's been doing Komaki's training:
For the part where he leaves the training area, where do you find him? I was hitting X a bit too fast and didn't catch where Kiryu said he'd look around for him.
Usually at the bottom right of the map. You'll be able to tell as there's a small figure on the map and when you move the cursor over it it says 'Master'. I'm pretty certain I saw it at the top left of the map as well.
Just pick up tables and beat the shit out of them that way. I just used everything around the arena like I usually do in a Yakuza game

When and where should you get the rewards for having Y3-4-DS savegames? I just had the time to start Y5 yesterday but I didn't have any item in my inventory, even though I finished all 3 previous games (western editions)
When you start a new game there is a message pops up saying you got certain item for having save file of Y3 and Y4. Did you see that?
You get the items from the beginning I think.

I know that part. I meant there's a part where he leaves the area (hell, he pretty much tells you he won't be there at a certain point right after you meet him, so really there's no point in spoiler tagging it) and you have to go find him. But it's fine, I already found him (had to check a GameFAQs guide, heh).
And the marker in the top left is the chef guy, not Komaki.

Anything I need to know from 2 and 3?

Huh, weird story inconsistency here:
In Part 3 of Kiryu's chapter
In Part 3 of Kiryu's chapter
when you meet the cop, he tells you that Dojima went missing "last night". But earlier in the chapter it's established that as of the night before, he'd already been missing for two days. Weird. He even knows that Dojima was in Kiryu's taxi before he disappeared, which was clearly like three days prior at this point..

I suspected so, but strangely I didn't get any message nor item. Maybe that's because all my previous Ys were european while I bought 5 from US psn?

I found the trick to that fight is weapons. Just pick up loads of chairs until you kill them, that what I did and it went really well.
Same here, had pretty much forgotten how to effectively hit anyone until I could smack them with chairs then follow up with heat.
Finally bought and downloading now. Haven't used a PS3 in a long time and it felt like visiting an annoying grandparent. Ofc a bunch of forced updates first, then PS Store runs in like 0.5fps and then I had to (very slowly) clear disc space not only for the unpacked game but also for some 15gigs or so hdd overhead, I guess. Anyway, what matters is Yakuza 5, but glad the series move to current-gen from here on out.
Yea someone had similar problem last page. I guess it only supports the save file of the corresponding region.

same, atleast you can skip going to the store by buying it online on a computer/phone and then just going to the Account-Download List on the PS3 to get it to download

Aha, wish I had known/remembered that. Hopefully there will be no next time, but if so I thank you in advance.

The question about this in the comments section of the blog got ignored, even though it had quite a few votes. I gave up waiting and bought it before i went to bed last night. I have waited for this game to come to the west for so long, i'm not gonna flip tables or skip it because of 3 GBP, but i will think twice next time about where i'm going to buy a game. I wanted to support it in this region, even though the price was a bit higher already in the first place, but the additional price hike without any sort of explanation or even acknowledgement leaves a bit of a sour taste. I'll just take my money to the US store the next time.

Urgh I'm still being pissy about this being £3 more than it was announced. But damn I've got some free time between group and essay work at university.
And all these good impressions, my desire for Yakuza, and I fixed my controller especially for this game as it is the only game left on PS3 for me to play.
Can someone do some quick math and tell me how much better it would be to buy off NA PSN? I'm kinda annoyed that if I knew Sega EU or SCEE would do this I would've just preordered from NA and get even more of a saving.
Can I use PayPal? Because I already have $8 and would rather not put too much money on.

I'm only getting it from EU PSN cuz ll my copies of Yakuza on PS3 are EU versions
I just want an explanation for the GBP 3, if it was tax they hadn't accounted for at the time, that's fine, just say so, be upfront about it, the whole price difference thing will always remain whether it be for a high profile title or a niche title :V
Grab US PSN cash codes from US PSN. It's $40 over on US PSN which comes to GBP 27.
ATM it's a little over GBP 28 with Plus.

Damn, I may as well just get it from the UK store. I don't have PS+ (no real need for it) so woo the full £33.
if you don't ever plan on playing the originals which establish the foundation for the series, make sure to read a full synopsis or watch a full LP before playing the sequels. you can also watch recap movies in Y3 and Y4 but they skip out on a lot of stuff and just show some main events. watch them anyway.
but I recommend playing them from the start in order to full enjoy the overarching stories and character development of everyone across the series.

I think you can legit get away with not playing 1 and 2 if you do the recap thing, but I really don't recommend skipping over 3 and 4 if possible.
most sane people don't play this series for the action alone, so you'd be doing yourself a disservice by skipping out on story.

Man, PS3 is taking ages to install the game. I think it's been around an hour and it's only at 82%. Ugh.

I pre-ordered this game day one. Here was my experience yesterday.
Got home late from work. Noticed the game wasn't installed. Forgot how slow everything runs on the PS3 while trying to load the store. Found Yakuza 5. Download. Wait. Wait. Out of space. Hm, ok. Went through to find games to delete. Found several. Went back to download. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Connection time out. Repeat download. Wait. Wait. Wait... downloading.
So that was all I was able to do last night. I guess tonight I'll play!

Yeah, thank god for the new OS in PS4. I can't believe that we managed to put up with PS3 for an entire generation.
Nagoshi is one of the most underrated directors in video games. he does drama and humor so damn well. Kojima gets all the love.
the inability to PS4Share sucks. kept thinking I was playing PS4, lol

Decided I'll always be a bitch for Yakuza so I bought it anyway. Wasn't too bad as I had a couple of quid on my account.
Now to wait until it downloads and installs.

How's the translation?
I don't know if I can say enough about the driving missions. This is my fifth Yakuza game of 2015, and nothing in the series really approaches this scale when it comes to side-missions. Can I even call them side-missions?
I really, really like Yakuza 5. So happy we got this.

Chapter 3 with Kiryu and can't charge my heat anymore. Its stuck in battle. not sure why
found only one really weird thing. they did change some question and answer on japanese dialect and history questions in a sub story, to english and world history.

It's crazy how slow the PS3 is
Fortunately I played the game yesterday and I loved the intro sequence, setting up the story and characters.
it's like coming home.

Yakuza 5 installed!
Oh boy, after 3 years of waiting I finally get to play Y5 tonight *tears of joy starts rolling on his face*
Even in Zero's demo you could only use the share button just before going to your last objective. Man, there were so many moments in that game that I wanted to take pictures.

Especially the first scenes with blood on Kiryu's face!
