Well that's cool was hoping for more but also hope they can do a big hug arcade of sega in shenmue 3 but maybe it's even more doubtful.that's the idea

Well we're going to get Yakuza 0 first. If this and 0 both do well, we might get Ishin, assuming SEGA hasn't put out another mainline Yakuza yet.

so im reading that the platinum should be a little harder than yakuza 4 maybe, but not as bad as 3? sounds doable
BALLS was hoping it'd be ready when i got back tonight...midnight, hopefully?
and good answer - i usually go with kazzy-chan (majima's up there too) but i think i'll go with Akiyama, just such a great character & such a blast to play as
....well, shit
i respect this stance & agree! but im totally gonna import Isshin like i did 1/2 HD since that's prolly not gonna happen...so happy about Zero though!!
i mean - when are you expecting Zero? im hoping q3/4 2016, but i wanna say 6 might drop by then. i just kinda see Isshin slipping through the cracks at this point, a la Kenzan!

If they announced 0 with no news about Ishin, there's no way it's coming. It's too bad, but that's how it goes.

Count like an extra 30-40 minutes for install.
oh dang, thanks for the heads up, hopefully it can be completed and installed by the time the game unlocks.

I just hate paying import tax. ;=;
I was expecting Zero this time next year. If we haven't had 6 launch by then, because they're working on Kiwami atm, we might see an Ishin localization but I doubt it. I'd take a Kiwami localization over Ishin personally.
Yeah.. I platinum'd 4, but never really considered giving 3 a shot. My friend did and it sounded like a big pain, with all the minigames needed completion.

I feel like getting 6 would be asking a lot already. lol
Technically 3 is easier because of the removed stuff in the English version anyway.

Since 0 has already been announced, I think chances of 6 and Kiwami coming over are good, unless 5 and 0 lose more money than Sony/Sega are anticipating.
It's true that the English version removed some content, but the minigame requirements for platinum are harsher in 3 than they are in 4.
im never going to advance the plot of this game
YOSH
That's how it's meant to be.
i really really don't want to go through the hassle of buying a new hard drive to a system i haven't turned on in maybe two or three years just to play a single game
any change that i could possibly use an external hard drive to download & play Yakuza 5?
Ask people around you if they have any laptop hdd lying around they don't use anymore? I'm sure you can come by one. Otherwise, they're not that expensive.
YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAME. YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE. THE DREAMS WILL BE FULFILLED!

As suggested above, ask everyone you know if they have an old laptop lying around that you can rip the hard drive out of. It'll be worth it!

yeah, agreed
exactly this - god, ive seen guides on how to put tape on your tv to line up some crucial shots, that's too much for me haha
Watch recaps, or if possible just get the earlier games and play them first. Zero uses a slighly different battle system. 5 is plot heavy and doesn't spent much time recapping any of the previous games. It's really not the best way to enter the series.

is this going to be est or pst midnight?
Does 5 not have a way to watch the story from the previous games like 4 did?

Never played a yakuza game but I'm interested in 5. I loved SWERY's Deadly Premonition and that's probably the closest of a game parallel that I've gotten to a Yakuza game so do you guys think I'll like this?
Deadly Premonition's only similar point with Yakuza is the interesting characters. If you liked York's wacky adventures in Greenvale, you're going to like Yakuza for its characters.

So no exploration or quests or dungeons? k good to know
Oh yeah, side quests. Yakuza has really good side quests. You don't find the bones of a victim in the overworld, unfortunately.
i would recommend playing 4 first. its cheaper, so its a smaller gamble in case you dont like it. also 5 follows characters who were introduced in 4, so if you end up liking 4 and playing 5 after, you'll have a more rewarding experience than if you started with 5.
and plus 4 is really great!
There's wacky sidequests, but no dungeons or anything. The gameplay is actually engaging too and super enjoyable, instead of the subpar gameplay Deadly Premonition has.
Only played 3 & 4.
Yakuza basically throws you into a small-medium sized open world, dozens of restaurants/activities/shops to go to. You'll run into NPCs who will want certain things (Like in 4(I think) you had a nerdy guy who was in love with a hostess and you had to help him dress up to impress her, he then gets "cool" looking and just as she notices him he decides he wants a hotter girl..You later have a quest to get him to notice her and he's gone back to his dorky clothes and says he got lots of women, but it wasn't the real him.)
Through missions you'll usually enter a building/area and have to get to the boss, fight through waves of enemies (usually the path to the next room is blocked by a big dude swinging a couch..yes..a couch.)
It's a great mix of action, drama and over the top goofy bullshit.
EST midnight.

There are quests. Lots and lots of sidequests and side content. Not much exploration, though there is a little wandering around and discovering you can do in each city location. And there are sort of dungeons - I don't know what 5 has, but typically each Yakuza game has some segments where you go through a building beating up a lot of dudes.

I have a Japanese copy I never got to since I never finished 4 (which I have to do tomorrow), but I'm very tempted to install it before I start the US version.
