Well, I did pick up Xenoblade, so Yakuza is gonna have to wait till Christmas or something.

I've changed a lot since I started hanging with Sonic, but I can't depend on him forever. I know I can do this by myself! Okay, Eggman! Bring it on!

I still can't believe this. Look how far we've come. From lamenting that we'd never get Yakuza 3. It's astounding and heartwarming how much momentum the fanbase has given this franchise in the west. Every time, I'm blown away that we're getting one of the games. Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, Dead Souls, each time less likely than the last. And now we have a one two punch of not only Yakuza 5, but fucken Zero.

What an agonizing yet incredibly satisfying journey these Yakuza threads have been. We fuckin did it, guys.

I feel blessed. I got on the Yakuza train long after 4 dropped and didn't realize how precarious things were until long after Dead Souls dropped.

Yakuza 5's been locked, cocked, and ready to rock on my PS3 since 10:30 AM local. Once I get closer to 9 PM I'll jack the PS into my sound system and it'll be Sapporos and BURNING SPIRIT all night.

In the wrong hands, the stapler is a deadly weapon.

Until a couple days ago, I was skeptical that Yakuza 5 would be coming out here at all, let alone this year. And now I'm currently downloading it to my PS3. Awesome. And Yakuza 0 coming out too is of course the icing on the cake.

Had to delete so much to get it on, but it's there now and it's not like I'll ever need that space for anything else in the future.

Now I just need it to be the 8th in Americaland and I'll finally have some sweet Yakuza goodness.

It's been a while since I bought anything sony much less played anything so it was a nice surprise to see that I had $20 unused in my wallet to buy Yak5.

I'll probably leave gamestop with a new PS4 and an used PS3. Supporting niche games = good marketing strategy

Is it a hassle getting a US psn account if this is going to take months more to get over to the eu?

Making a US PSN account is easy. The hard part is payment since the regional stores will not accept foreign credit cards.

If you're willing to pay a slight premium, just grab US points cards from PlayAsia or whatever international retailer of choice. It's all pretty easy to do.

You can buy PSN cards on Amazon (you need to set your account to a US address, and they might ban you for that, so do it at your own risk), I used to do that but now that I'm in the US I just use my credit card.

I've done it dozens of times over the past like 3-4 years, they don't ban you for it

Yeah I've been buying straight up digital codes http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004RMK4BC with a Dingleberry Avenue address in Alaska no problem.

e: the US address needs to be the shipping address, not your actual address

It tends to depend on your bank - mine is particularly twitchy and has outright denied transactions if the address isn't a spotless match.

So, is everything is good with the game so far? Nothing bad aside from the huge download?


There are 2 listings for it in the EU store. Here is the one with the game for purchase, and still no EU discount.

It now has a separate listing for the actual digital version. Unfortunately £33 is a bit much at the moment when I don't even have a working PS3 anymore.

So I spent a few minutes flicking through manga (actual chapters!) and looking at magazine covers at the convenience store. As per usual the attention to detail in these games are immaculate.

From what I've read, you can hook up your fight stick and take VF2 online within Y5.

There was unrest between and within factions and families. Tokyo Tower blew up. You had to fight majima but it was a misunderstanding.
