We'll see this time. I know Best Buy usually gets me games Friday or Monday before retail Tuesday. My Y0 is with Amazon Prime and I saw it shipped out Friday and right now it's sitting at the mail depot 20 minutes away. I would be surprised if it doesn't find its way here in the Monday mail. I'm super excited.

I have this preordered with Prime and live in a Chicago suburb and have not seen mine ship at all.

I've heard if you get enough people to buy the game you can become a Yakuza. Or get beat up by Kiryu.

I just picked this game up ona whim, knowing nothing about the series, and holy poo poo it is the best game I have played in a long time. Pretty much everything about it is really solidly put together. I love the contrast between how totally serious and kinda OTT high drama the main plot is and how completely goofy and self-aware pretty much all the side missions are. I don't know why it works, it shouldn't work, but it totally does.

Also I would legit play an entire game based around managing the cabaret club and the wacky misadventures of Majima, Youda, Yuki and company. And I cannot stop listening to this song.

Every time I play a Yakuza game I end up singing this loving thing for weeks. :sigh:

Perhaps I'm stupid as hell (actually a fact) but some of the pacing of the main plot is crazy in certain chapters. You advance it two steps and are drawn into a super long sequence and that is all she wrote.

Also, after you beat him a few times he starts carrying more money, so I was making several hundred million - a billion fighting him as Majima, which was a big help besides the money from the Five Stars.

Not very I should think? The worst part is that your weapons and armor are shared inventory with your healing items so you have to manage it more.

Assuming you don't have a PS2...

Y0 -> YK -> Y4 -> Y5 -> Y3 if you feel like it I guess I'd skip -> Y6

that's personal though, Y3 is just really weak, it's not BAD.

Number of fans determines ranking. Also, Mega Rich customers need very high stats in their favored areas and often request hostesses by name. Pay attention to your roster. By the time you're getting to "Mega Rich" people on the regular you should have at least a few platinum hostesses and several golds to make up for the rest.

Unfortunately everything past the point of no return in the story is considered a "blocked scene" by the PS4's Share function, so it can't be recorded without other hardware.

This thread managed to spoil it even with the blocked scenes. Frankly I'm glad they were blocked.

Nah they're right, the timing on the button presses for the disco game is way unforgiving even for someone that's played a lot of rhythm games. Like we recently had Hatsune Miku on 3DS and I could do most of the songs no sweat, but the disco game could still gently caress my poo poo up seemingly at random because the window to hit the button is really, really narrow and the visual indicator is "bad" at best, I beat the songs by just getting into the groove of the song and barely paying attention to the screen.

It's not as bad as some people are making it out to be but it is definitely really hard in a way that's kind of unfair.

I disagree strongly, as "someone that's played a lot of rhythm games." This is why I understand I have some bias here, but I can't fathom how someone who can handle other rhythm games can't get this one. Frankly I think the timing is generous.
