The  steelbook alone is almost worth the price for me. I'm a sucker for steelbook cases anyway, but this one is incredible, and will probably be the best I ever own.Doc Morbid posted:Well, not in Yikes. okay, that's pretty ridiculous. Any idea why that might be?

Amazon sent me the regular edition and not the steel book so I had to go to GameStop to get it. I ordered it on Amazon to avoid a trip to GameStop!

It's probably a combination of everything being stupid expensive in Finland, and Gamestop being Gamestop.

Despite it being one of my favorite games of all time, I wouldn't have bought the Valkyria Chronicles remaster if it weren't in a steelbook, and my only problem with the Yakuza 6 Special Edition (which I'm still ordering regardless because christ what a good set) is that it does not come in a steelbook case. I also have an issue. SpacePig fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Aug 30, 2017 |

Jeff Bezos is the head of the Dojima clan in Shin Yakuza and he makes old man move to Seattle to run his warehouse. You get your pay docked everytime you send someone the wrong game. (I'm not mad. They're gonna refund me and I needed to buy some socks and a soldering iron with the Amazon fun bucks anyway.)

Sakurazuka posted:I bought Kenzan years ago thoroughly intending to play it but it turns out I'm really bad at playing games I don't understand. I didn't have an issue with it (knowing no Japanese). ThePatrick's guide on GameFAQS is really good, and you can use KHHsubs or Egomaniac's LP for subbed videos.

Stelas posted:So far the substories feel a bit lackluster. They've all just been fight->done with not a great deal of amusing talky stuff, but then I'm super early on so who knows. I get the vague feeling that for $30 this is basically a holdover title until Y6 comes along but, whatever, still fun and I never actually played Y1 directly. Yeah, I'm having this feeling as well. Substories are less interesting, enemies reuse moves and attack combos from 0, there are less side activities, etc... Still fun, though.

Also, the absurdity doesn't really start until 2, at pretty much the exact moment you are by a mobster to have fun, and accidentally knock over a certain wall revealing what their idea of fun is. I believe that that moment is the exact turning point of the series.

Oh cool. I think i tried that but i guess not. Would have been useful when i was pounding on Shimano at the funeral for like 8 minutes. I bought a knife but couldn't use it. I am also bad at climax actions and possibly life itself.

I'm pretty sure that alley scene was exactly the same as the original, but I could be wrong. He for sure very badly wanted to hurt the guy. I don't know that he was necessarily trying to kill him, though.

I was more thinking about Majima's philosophy that the world isn't a logical place, and getting visibly angry when Kiryu insists on being a "proper" Yakuza, even when threatened.

Most of 1 is just a pretty solid crime story and then maybe if you like you can play some dart and bowl between your Big Money Mystery moments. 2 is when they go 'ok people bought it, they like what we're doing? Cool, put THAT CLUB in'.

He's really changed these last seventeen years... from afraid of punks to taking us on with a bat. I'm proud of him. Still you'd figure he'd be a detective at least by now instead of just a beat cop.
