Goddamn right, though it makes me sad that the 80s, my childhood, is now considered old enough to qualify as period drama.
I knew I had become old when the retro lunch hour on my local radio station changed from 80s music to 90s music.

Maybe it's 2000s now?

That's some good rear end gaming right there. DQ8 is my favorite one next to 5 and I'd kill to experience it blind again.

Knocked out an OP in an afternoon, will post it later, back to Yakuza 5. Just finished Victory Road, but seeing that all 4 guys have to complete all the Coliseum matches is making me die a little inside. Fuuuuuck

The one that gave me the most trouble, by far, was Akiyama's Limited Berserk. Pro-tip: the last couple of guys cannot be launched with flash kicks, but if memory serves, it still stunlocks them, and is strongly preferred to having them block and counter your normal attacks.

If you hold L2 to disable HEAT moves and keep tapping triangle you can do it forever; it's great and actually really effective against bosses

I completed all events with all characters and it was very hard. Victory Road highlights ALL issues with Y5 combat movesets and balance (and there are many issues) so have fun :)

Speaking of which I have to dust off my PS3 to plat Y5 before Y0... I completed all the boring & annoying reqs (pachinko, victory road, weapon modding, etc.) but for some reason I lost interest in the game after all that work.

There's also the new Tales game, and the new Gravity Rush game. I preordered all of these before they had announced release dates, and now I'll have games for months.

Also, 2nding the love for DQVIII. One of my favorites. Enjoy.

DQ VIII is awesome, one of my top JRPGS, and I pre-ordered Yakuza 0 which will be my first Yakuza, oh yes. That chicken clip on the previous page is pretty epic by the way!

Speaking of 80s period games, there was good ol Vice City fifteen years ago, we're all old now.

That is also a front runner but this one makes me happier because he is helping a girl achieve her dream in the big city.

edit: also the porn vending machine one in 0 but the actual gameplay of it is pretty bullshit.

I'm pretty sure 4 is my favorite in the series so far (until they remake 2 in HD :swoon:), but it will forever haunt me that Akiyama doesn't get that sweet trenchcoat/hat unlockable costume he has in 5 and Dead Souls.

Giant Bomb has a Quick Look up of Yakuza 0, if you want an advance glimpse at it: http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-yakuza-0/2300-11828/

50 minute long look at it, they have pretty positive reactions to it, aside from minor quibbles like the camera control feeling old. Some story spoilers, obviously, but only from about an hour in.

So, for folks who played Y0 back in the day, anybody remember how Premium Adventure works? Are you able to, say, complete all the quests, unlock stuff, and put that into a NG+ run, or is it like 5, where Premium Adventure mode progress can't be transferred back into NG+?

Are things a lot more expensive in 0? They make millions of yen from that one fight and unless my memory is going millions of yen is enough to buy basically everything in previous games.
