The extra money you make as Kiryu offsets how much more fun Cabaret Club Czar is than the Real Estate game

This is very true.

I've found alternating them in post-game is pretty effective.

I really like that they're putting effort now into Yakuza releases. It's a very exciting time to be a fan.

Was anybody else able to get a preorder in for the premium edition with the rocks glasses and whiskey stones? Because that's the coolest fuckin' special edition poo poo I ever did see.

I'm actually almost worried that I might not get mine for some reason. I'm hoping I ordered it early enough.

e: I wasn't going to order it at first, as :krad: as it is, but I got more than $100 in Amazon gift cards between last Christmas and my birthday this year, so they mostly went to that.

Same, though I wasn't able to pay it all off with gift cards, but the final amount only comes to about 6 dollars so hooray.

I know business cards are a big thing in Japan, but are the really so big of a thing that we now have at least 2 games in this series that have come with business cards for fictional characters as bonuses?

editor's note: I have my Yakuza 0 Business Card holder and genuinely keeps business cards in it, even if I'm not carrying it around with me always.

Well, more importantly, a business card holder is a lot cheaper to make than hundreds of 6 inch tall plastic mass produced models or something, so when you want a physical pre-order bonus for a game series that doesn't have quite enough mass appeal for the big fancy physical stuff, it's a pretty safe call.

I'm hoping there's a chance of a quicker turnaround for Kiwami 2 since the series seems to be undergoing a resurgence in the West or we're gonna be looking at mid-2019 with only 6 to tide us over in the interim if Kiwami is anything to go by :(

I'm still holding onto hope Japan gives Kenzan a Kiwami treatment next and that that actually comes here.

I have however lost hope for the PSP ones and Ishin.

Daigo getting completely shut down by Kiryu at the end of Yakuza 4 is one of the saddest and best scenes in the series. Poor Daigo. He just wants to be like the cool guys.

man, I love that, in Kiwami, once you unlock the Breakout GP, getting the points to get the Tiger Drop is stupidly easy and then the combat is kind of a joke.

I only own a ps4, but Yakuza Games are fairly episodic, right? How much would I miss jumping right into 6, only having played 0 and Kiwami?

More than usual, just because 6 is the culmination to Kiryu, and 4 introduces a couple characters (Akiyama and Saejima) who are very important going forwards. But you'd probably be fine, it'll be a bit weird moving from Kiryu at the end of Kiwami to Kiryu ten years later but it's not like it's that big a change.

It seems like you have to be a Gamefly member to do this, right? They have Zero on their store, but not Kiwami. You'd have to be a member, rent Kiwami, and then click "Keep" for this, right?

I mean it looks like it? I didn't look that hard considering I usually just straight up buy their used games. That being said, they have a 30 day free trial I have never touched so if I were looking for the discount I would probably opt for that. YMMV.
