that's really odd. any reason why? hopefully US allows it.

I guess they wanted to avoid the story ending up on youtube.
It didn't stopped people from posting videos, but you needed an external capture card for that =(

Ishin and Zero had the same share restriction. I wonder if they will remove it for the west. It could make wonders when promoting the game.

any tips on beating

Spangled Meteor on the race? She is just too damn fast for me even if I use all those triangle commands and booster.

edit: nvm I finally beat it!

 

[DryvBy]

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

I have Ishin and I played the demo for 0. The way they stream is really off-putting if you're trying to stream any story. Everything is blocked.

as a tip drifting gives you a boost like in sonic transformed

Yea I figured that out later..
What does taunt do? It didn't seem to be useful...

 

[Kain]

dat finisher when Kazuma drags the guy's face over the ground hhhnnnnggggg

These games are so damwn satisfying

can you take screenshots? I mainly want that for any funny lines or weird situations.

 

[oneida]

any passionate yakuza fans/photoshop wizards want to whip up a Yakuza 5 cover to spruce up game shelves across america?

 

[SephLuis]

Nope. Only in free roam mode.

You can use free roam to share pics of minigames, city, combat, etc. I am not sure if this also includes side quests.

what a bummer. no wonder you don't see much LP or guide videos for the imports online.

 

[DryvBy]

Yeah, screenshots work. They have a ©SEGA watermark on each one, but you can take them.

edit: Pretty sure I took some because I have some from Ishin that were from movies.

edit 2: Wait, I might be way off. I think it is only free roam or side missions. The cinematic I'm thinking off was a side mission when you first arrive.

 

[Tizoc]

The long wait begins....

 

[ShadowgeistX]

Kazuma is late for work, and yet has time to go sea fishing, help a girl with her problems, and help some kid out with his test answers before going into work.

I think this game is telling me that I can just skip work today and play more.

 

[Xieldos]

Finally got downloading this today and just realised how slow the PS3 is :-(

So excited to finally play Yakuza 5 though

 

[madkiller]

I love the descriptions:

"Smoke in front of the enemies to show them who's boss"

That's the true yakuza way. Ignore your responsibilities for sidequests and minigames. Someone needs to see Akiyama immediately? Better spend 5 hours training hostesses.

 

[Moze]

Do side missions appear as a question mark on the map like in dead souls? I am only 90 minutes in and the game hasn't really opened up yet.

 

[Stuart444]

Yes they do. There is also the "Another Drama" aspect that doesn't appear on the map. Ie for Kiryu, you just have to talk to the Taxi receptionist who allows you to do taxi missions and the main story aspect of his "Another Drama" which is the races.

 

[E_Darkness]

Nearly installed!
It's only taken a good half of the day to download and install.

 

[Aerocrane]

I just beat (racing missions spoiler)

Spoiler

Furumichi.

That was incredibly annoying. I felt like I won with pure luck as he crashed into the roadworks and civilians at the top straight of the advanced course on the first two laps.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I HAVE JUST DELETED EVERY FUCKING FILE ON MY PS3 SO I CAN DOWNLOAD THIS DAMN GAME AND IT STILL SAYS INSUFFICENT SPACE FOR FUCK SAKE.

I have 44GB free and the game only required 22GB of space. What is going on.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It needs double that for the installer. Delete one more thing and you should be good!

 

[dragonflys545]

Those Parry's and Counters are so hard to pull off...


This game is so god damn amazing. I can't believe I'm having so much fun looking for garbage to pick up lolol.

 

[TheSuperSakura]

Someone tell me I'm not the only one who has only advanced the story a few chapters and have only chose the taxi and side missions.

I feel pretty awesome considering I'm level 16 and I'm only in Part 1 chapter 4. These taxi and side missions are so much fun!

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

That's the true yakuza way. Ignore your responsibilities for sidequests and minigames. Someone needs to see Akiyama immediately? Better spend 5 hours training hostesses.

Yup. It's all about doing all the side content in these games. I love it when there's some urgent business but I can still run off and dick around for hours.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Yeah, just had to gut my whole PS3....all my saves, Lightning returns, Journey, FF7, 8 and 9 just to download.

Finally got there!

 

[Shadowman16]

Halfway throw Chapter 1 Part 3 now, I've forgotten just how damn thorough the completion list is for this game - Darts and Pool are both going to be a pain, having to complete all these different mini games on the different difficulties.

My only minor complaint with the game is the frame rate - does anyone else find fights, and sometimes exploration feel rough at times? Not unplayable by any means (I'm still landing my Komaki Parry's with no issues), but it doesn't feel like the frame rate is a solid 30 FPS either and its slightly distracting at times.

I think this is just me being used to Ishin and 0 being 60FPS on the PS4, so damn smooth!

 

[DasFool]

Hit level 20 as Kiryu but don't have enough SP to max out his other stats. Anyone know if I'll get more later or is this it?

 

[Shadowman16]

Hit level 20 as Kiryu but don't have enough SP to max out his other stats. Anyone know if I'll get more later or is this it?

Yep, to do so you'll need to (later game spoilers)

Spoiler

Head to Grandpa Komaki's dojo in Kamuracho after clearing all of Grandson Komaki's training. You'll have a wonderfully bastard hard fight against BOTH Koamki's at once and after you beat them your level cap is raised, so you can get more soul points to upgrade your character.

 

[TheSuperSakura]

Question: Does anyone know where to get new music for the taxi missions? I've looked what I feel is everywhere for new songs and cannot seem to find them.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Hit level 20 as Kiryu but don't have enough SP to max out his other stats. Anyone know if I'll get more later or is this it?

There is a way to raise the level cap to 25, as Shadowman posted earlier. But even that won't give you enough SP to max out everything - in order to do that, you need to use the IF8 machine in Kamurocho to get the last bit of SP.

 

[EuricaeriS]

Apologies if it's been asked before, but does anyone know what the game's trying to tell me when you hear a sort of high-pitched water drop noise and the map flashes? It seems to happen occasionally when moving around but I'm not sure why!

Thanks

 

[Kain]

Oh man, I just read the first episode of Fairy Tail in a shop and I just rememberd how similar it was to OP at the beginning (the drawing style). I would have believed it was drawed by Oda himself xD

It's letting you know you're near an objective marker.

 

[EuricaeriS]

Ah, thanks I'd been clearing up side quests so that makes sense!

 

[hermitpurple]

lmao I love Mack

 

[mothball]

the taxi missions have finally scratched an itch that goes back to gta3 involving using my turn signals while driving

 

[Stuart444]

All Taxi Missions done. probably won't max out my driver level though because all I have left to grind on is free races. :/

Also I'm almost finished Part 1, Chapter 2. And I'm just doing all the side stuff before moving on lol.

edit: Huh, when you complete a side story, you get a message on your cell phone.

 

[ar4757]

I believe I'm part 1 chapter 3 and all I've finished the races and have done around 20 taxi missions

I feel like Kiryu is hilarious in this game, some of his dialogue is so sarcastic!

 

[Dio]

Kiryu has such a great singing voice. Did Machine Gun Kiss, just like in 4.

 

[hermitpurple]

Anyone know where I can get Kiryu's revelation?

 

[WaterAstro]

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.

Yeah for 2 and 3, it's not going to be possible since they are disc only.

 

[Squishy3]

I get sad whenever Madarame is on screen because it's one of Kenji Utsumi's last roles. (Coach Kamogawa in Ippo, Armstrong from FMA)

 

[LiK]

Yeah for 2 and 3, it's not going to be possible since they are disc only.

hopefully they localize the HD remasters or Kiwami after Zero.

 

[The Bankslammer]

i've been particularly enjoying kiryu's swings from barely putting up with a customer to inspirational monologuing in the taxi missions

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

hopefully they localize the HD remasters or Kiwami after Zero.

HD remasters are probably a lost cause by now, but I'd say Kiwami has a chance if 0 does well.

 

[nycgamer4ever]

Damn I haven't used my Ps3 in ages but had to boot it up to download. Took all night almost to download and the store is soooo slow! I have no idea how people use the psn on ps3.

To be fair tho, the game is pretty huge and the PS Store app itself is total garbo.

 

[lolez2matt]

I keep getting an error trying to download this game.
The error is 80710103 and looking on google they sugest resseting the modem. Ths weird things is i tried downloading another game (singstar) and worked fine. Does anybody has the same problem?

Quoting me again, because still can´t download the game.

 

[Astarte]

Kiryu has such a great singing voice. Did Machine Gun Kiss, just like in 4.

I made the happy mistake of choosing a duet song so Kiryu was just clapping and singing along loudly by himself.
