Bocc Kob posted:How much does a Japanese PS3 game cost at launch, plus the cost of shipping to the US? Game itself is a little over $100, shipping is another $5 to $20 depending on the shipping time you choose at the import stores.

I guess all segments at the Sega booth end with a photo op. The next Yakuza 5 segment will be tomorrow at around the same time.

What's in the swag box?? I still got my Yakuza 1 fan from TGS 2006. Looks like they stepped up their game.

Yeah, the trailer had Yakuza 5 priced at 8800 yen, which is around $112 as of now. But Japanese retailers always price games under MSRP, right? Playasia has it at around $107 right now.

Wasn't Shogi in Yakuza 2? I never really noticed it gone in 3 and 4 as I don't know how to play it but it seems weird that it was removed (and now being re-added). Edit: Never mind, it was in 4. I just never noticed it. Zettace fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Sep 20, 2012 |

Official site has all of the mini-games in Yakuza 5 and someone's translations of them all. Virtua Fighter 2 confirmed to be in the game. Some sort of first-person snowball fight with other people around Roman columns. Stand-up comedy with some guy and Haruka. Saijima can sing karaoke while drinking scotch at the same time.

I watched those trailers and my voice dropped several octaves.  5 looks loving awesome, bearing in mind we've got the HD collection of 1 and 2 coming out at some point, and I haven't played the other games on PS3 means I've got a ton to catch up on!  This series is amazing.

precision posted:$100 bucks says he faked his death because he was bored and it sounded like fun. But seriously, unless I see a body, I ain't buying it. Majima may be too crazy to live, but he's also too awesome to die.

Finally decided to get into the Yakuza series, so I bought Yakuza 3 today. I've already watched the two catch-up videos (in addition to the LP of 1 Jamesman did ages ago, as well as Egomaniac's Kenzan LP) so I've got as much of a grasp of the characters and story dynamics as I would imagine I could get short of actually playing the original two games. I'm just wondering if there is anything I should know before I get into #3?

I'm just wondering if there is anything I should know before I get into #3? This is exactly how I did it, and IMO the most important thing on a first play through is to have fun. Complete whatever side quests you want and do story whenever you feel like it, and don't worry about 100% because you can do anything you miss in Premium Adventure when you're done.

I'm another newbie to the series. Sam's Club had Yakuza 4 for fifteen bucks the other week, and, well...who can resist at that price? When I got home I found out that this game is awesome. One minute I can pretend I'm playing Metal Gear Solid 4, and the next I can be playing table tennis with my hostess girl. I seriously love that game. I'm going to look into 3 and Dead Souls sometime since I've seen those around at stores, then maybe 1 and 2 if we never get that HD collection. I need to give some more recent SEGA games a shot. I hear Binary Domain is great so that may be where I look when/if this Yakuza kick ends.

It's hilarious, and the gameplay is serviceable. But no seriously it's loving hilarious for mostly completely unintentional reasons.

The next Yakuza 5 segment at Sega's Tokyo Game Show booth is going to be on in 10 minutes. Streaming links again: ustream: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/segatgs2012 http://tgs.sega.jp/2012/sega-studio/ust.html nico stream, no need to log in: http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv106469801 Look at the poofy pants on the host.  Wait, was that Majima's dead body under the covers passing by Haruka in the trailer? Nothing new was shown in the first 15 minutes. They're just talking about the voice actors and the opening song.

Yeah, he's a celebrity chef in Japan playing as himself in the game. 30 minutes and still nothing new except for the interview with the chef. It's over. Nothing new. No awkward photo-op as well.

Dead Souls is a very different kind of game, probably only worth playing if you're totally in love with the Yakuza universe. It's not deserving of all the hate it's gotten, but it's still not a strong game on its own merits. * Hilariously, a lot of the hostess dating content is still in Yakuza 3, it just gets rammed in the weirdest places. Like you'll go to grab a burger at a fast food joint, and a weirdly overdressed girl will hit on you and ask you out. Then you fight goons and go to a love hotel with her. No, really.
