Fantastic OT! In Act 2 of 4 now, and I'm trying to go in blind so I'll be refraining from the OT until I start this. Although I did catch that Kiryu and Akiyama gif and DAMN the wait just got even harder.

At some point I need to go a few rounds with you to see how VF2 is really played haha. Awesome that it supports a fight stick.
I'd take most of the mainline Yakuza games over SD, but am probably in the minority. Wasn't a big fan of that game.
Yakuza has more RPG elements and is more of a straight up brawler (w. dodging and special attacks called heat actions). Longer cutscenes and sometimes walls of text aren't uncommon in the Yakuza series either, with periods where there isn't a lot of action and whereas things are more focused on world building and introducing characters.
The Yakuza series also has more mini games and optional side stories that continue from game to game if that interests you too, which is one of the really neat things about the series.
You're right, Sega sort of just crapped this one out with only 4 days notice. Likely because it's serving an already niche audience on an old platform with a digital only release. Come to think of it, it's kind of crazy this actually made it overseas considering the circumstances.
Hopefully we'll see some of that vigor renewed in the marketing for Yakuza 0.

I'm ready for Yakuza 5!
And I suck at Virtua Fighter, but I want to try 2.
There's no Aoi or Eileen? Shit.

Quick question : It's better to play Yakuza 4 before, right ? (I finished all of them except 4 and Dead Souls)

4 has my favorite ending in the series, and you will love Akiyama, so yeah. He's the best part of 4.
yes pls play 4 first as akiyama and saejima are introduced there. plus 4 is amazing!
Ideally, yes. Since 2 of the characters are introduced in Yakuza 4.

I mean, I haven't played five but I imagine with the returning characters it'll be advantageous to finish 4 before moving on to 5. It's not like 5 seems like a Zone of the Enders 2 situation where it changes the gameplay up completely. 4 is still a fun game.
Yes, play 4 first. Still my favorite, though I think I'm in minority there. But a lot of the characters are introduced in that one for 5.
Also, Dead Souls is fun in its own way. But you can keep it for later. There's a lot of awesome in Dead Souls.
Ya play 4. It introduces Akiyama and Saejima who are both major characters. 4 is also a great game to boot, with a lot of content.

I bought Xenoblade X but I'll easily toss it aside for Yakuza 5. I've waited TOO LONG FOR THIS MOMENT.
Does it go live at midnight EST? Just wanna get some exam studying done before it goes live
EDIT: Good lord it's been 2-3 hours and it's installing sitting at 29% now. Fuck

Yes, watch the recaps. The game really assumes you remember what is happening and know who the many of the main and sub characters are.
The quote about it being the best plot on the original post is amusing. Maybe the translation guides just mess it up, but the plot was over the top, not in an awesome tiger punching way but in a 'is this game mocking itself' sort of way.
Can't wait to play it in English finally

And here I thought Limp Bizkit was only in the Fight Club video game.

Have yet to play a Yakuza game but that trailer for Zero has me hyped and i want more Yakuza to come here so im absolutely buying this and trying it out.
Should i watch any kind of a recap or is each game kind of a stand alone title that has ties to other games but can be enjoyed without knowing everything?

Yea it's really really bad when it comes to anything related to installing/deleting things. It took me like 20-30 minutes just to DELETE the stuff to make room for Y5.
