How do the DLC packs work? It says something about premium adventure?

Dang forgot this came out today. Ok, first thing after Bloodborne and RE7 I'm all in on this. -Pushes backlog out the window-
This is why the game's not comparable to Sleepy Dogs and GTA. The locales just blur by as you drive around too fast to soak in the sights. Yakuza's focus is more intimate and personal.

my bad - amazon prime & best buy gamers club both knock off something like 20% or so on game purchases, really helps out with new releases
Not a thing. They are staple useless item in the series.

Nishiki: "Didn't you wanna go to HQ office?"
Me: "Just a sec, I almost had the Kyon-chan last time. Just let me put in another coin, it'll be the last one, I promise!"

Yakuza Dead Souls really prepared me for that. Compared to the final boss of that game, the chases were really smooth lol
I WANT IN NOW!

Still waiting on my two copies of the game. Damn Amazon and their inability to ship on time.

Btw, definitely start the game on hard difficulty if you are an old time Yakuza player or good/familiar with action games.

Thanks, I'll get back to it post game at least.
I've found a very minor use for having one in my inventory when interacting with a certain NPC.
I put another 2 hours into it last night while streaming which was a lot of fun. A bit of interaction from some people waiting to play the game
Chapter 3 was a bit of a slow burn in terms of interaction but I already in love with the side missions just after it. FFFFFFUU UFO machines!!!

Holy shit at that boss fight at the end of chapter one. I'm actually glad that I played this on hard cause it made that fight much more intense and fun.
And oh God, that music. It's drilled in my head. Soooooooooo good.

I've played for about four hours and Nishiki is still waiting next to his car
You can give them to the stop and search policeman though.
Even though I am not able to pick up Yakuza 0 it is nice to see all the positive response. As a fan of the series since the beginning it feels like it is finally getting some well-deserved attention. Like more reviewers seem to have done by now, one really has to get past the initial chapter/s or so in order to appreciate the richness of the world of Yakuza. It always kept me more engaged than the massive open-world competitors. Oh and by the way, newcomers to the series, be careful around the Mahjong as it typically drains 10-25 hours of my playtime in the Yakuza-games. ;D
Brawler made it easy but Rush made it feel more epic. All the duck and weaving. Felt like I was playing mindgames with 'im!
Looks like a lot of places really lowballed the demand for this game.

Uh... Just how common is the layout of Kiryu's apartment in Japan?
Either I'm crazy, or Kiryu's apartment, outside and inside, is completely identical to, well, Kiryu's apartment (From Steins;Gate).
Same stairs, same exterior, same interior, and all in the same colors.
Like, is this exact apartment layout the Dime-a-Dozen Brutalist Concrete Soviet Building of Japan?
Retailers aren't exactly ecstatic for Sega games, let alone Sega games with historically weak sales.
It's a Sega game. Retailers and Sega have a... Complicated relationship, as a result of poor sales of Sega's entire of catalog titles (In the realm of console games) over the last decade. We should be grateful that retailers are ordering any copies at all.
Get comfy kids, because the only Sega games that are getting any more than a Xenoblade-size print run any time soon are ones with Atlus branding on them.

Yeah, I used Rush and it was so damn good. Especially since I had opened that move where it lets you duck even when you are doing a combo and it was really useful in that fight.

Playing as Kiryuu using anything other than Brawler style feels weird somehow, but I've pretty much being changing up different styles for every encounter to rack up the counts.

Ok who else was not expecting the tape store? https://youtu.be/o_JCBkP1jdo
I'm the other way, anything other than rush feels......off.....to me.
i have 2 jbs about 4-5 min from each other.
The first one i went to they said they only received 2 copies.
So they directed me to Chaddy JB where they had about 12 in their shipment.
Ended up getting them to price match Target for $59.
The lady had to call to check if Target had the stock, but because she was on the phone forever waiting with no response, she pretty much said fuck it and gave it to me
))))))To be fair, even brawler feels off without his signature Square x 3, Triangle x 2 combo

Yeah, I wasn't going to preorder but I'm glad that I did. I don't think there were any on the shelves at all when I went in to pick it up
Yeah it does feel weird. I really like the weight to Brawler though

So Amazon says I should get my copy by 30th. Seeing as how they usually deliver at least 2 days in advance, I guess I could get my hands on it this weekend. This is pretty darn frustrating.

real talk, that final boss on EX-HARD or whatever my one remaining trophy is, that's the one that's stopping me...fuck those QTE penalties!
also this - even if you fail, you can restart it with full health
wait where where
it's been forever since part 1 for me!
literally just tied this one up before bedtime (now), so glad i did! fantastic 1st chapter
see i know bralwer is more his style, but i'm enjoying rush a lot more, yeah
feels way better for crowd control & certain bosses so far

Suntory has become damn expensive since hipsters wised up to it (after running up the price of bourbons) and hard to find. You should try it someday; it's something special. That Toki variety in the pic is a new blend that has more of a peaty profile than the traditional Suntory blends. But it's much more affordable and available! There's several other good Japanese whiskey brands that are $40-60 a bottle though. Certainly good enough to drink with Yakuza!
