Samurai Sanders posted:If I couldn't separate an actor or musician's personal stuff from their work, I'd basically never be able to enjoy anything. I'm right there with you, but in this case it just hits a little harder because I had built him up as a kind of kindly old Uncle Beat, now he's "racist crazy grandpa Beat".

Zettace posted:He appears on TV a lot and is not afraid to make sexist, racist, and basically offensive remarks. He's also one of those people who compares gay marriage to marrying your dog. Well that's kind of what Japanese TV and his whole persona is about? I don't know how you can be troubled by Beat Takeshi's schtick but play a series like this which is full of pretty retrograde stuff (like, say, the substory in Y0 where a woman flees a pimp who is beating her and needs a visa, and then the pimp comes back and says he loves her and offers to marry her and that's the happy ending).

I mean the issue for me is that he's appearing in the next Yakuza game as himself and not as one of his characters so you can see the problem here.

You realize we're talking about a character who is already a 16 year old jpop idol that you control in a video game, right? edit: especially the hand shaking minigame is the weirdest loving thing, seriously. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Oct 1, 2015 |

Hatsune Miku tie-in will be about a young JPOP idol who, desperate for fame, signs an unfair contract with yakuza in the entertainment industry and she's getting almost no profit as a result.

Does anybody else's Yakuza 5 pre-order seem to be messed up? I have two blank spots in my Download Queue that just say "GAME N/A" and "Pre-order payment not accepted" that I swear weren't there as of a week or two ago. My SFV pre-order is there and the only other game I've got digitally pre-ordered right now is Yakuza 5. If I go to the Y5 page on PSN there's no button for me to pre-order again or anything either. I went through my e-mails and I have all the normal "funds added" and "thank you for your order" e-mails from Y5, and nothing about a payment failure anywhere. Can somebody who also pre-ordered the game in the US check their Download Queue and see if the game is there? Normally I wouldn't worry about this kind of thing, but Sega +Yakuza in the US + PSN weirdness = me getting a little   I just want my Yakuza 5 dammit! It's the only reason I'm still keeping my PS3 around at this point.

Honestly I wouldn't worry about it. If there is an issue when it's released, though, just show PS support goons your receipt from the Y5 purchase

UK PlayStation Store only: Yakuza 5 PS3 static theme is free and available to everyone. It's just the cover art in the background and red XMB icons. No custom sounds. I haven't checked every EU store, but Australia and Ireland don't have it.  A Yakuza 5 PS3 dynamic theme is also available for 79 pence. I don't know what that one is like. No release date was snuck on any of the Yakuza 5 listings.

AusPSN gets jack-poo poo for themes anyway. And they're buried in menus to get them too. I still want that corn one back, that one was the best.

Avatars from Yakuza 5 in the EU PlayStation Store are showing up with release date of 5 November, which is a Thursday. Release dates of games on PSN that aren't out yet and don't have PSN pre-orders are usually wrong, so this is probably nothing.
