Great scores overall! That EGM though... =o

On my wishlist, sadly I can't afford it right now, otherwise I'd totally jump in.

The latter two are for sure coming stateside?

I recall Sony announcing it on their conference last year.

But I think physical/digital depends on the success of this one.

That said, I think it will do well enough. It reviewed good, it isn't some shitty zombie spin-off (DS), it isn't digital only on a dead platform (5), and it is a good entry point called "0". For those into these type of games, I think it is clear enough this is the time to jump in (together with the outlook of the remake of 1).

Amazon UK having to order more physical stock is pretty great news. Bet they didn't see that coming.

I want to get this game so badly but there's no way I'm playing both Gravity Rush 2 and this before Zelda comes out. This first quarter is brutal :( I swear I'll grab this eventually.

This could be my first Yakuza game. I'm heartened by the positive reviews and the excitement of what seems like a small but passionate fan base.

However, it looks super zany, maybe too zany for me... I imagine I'll end up jumping in but god knows what I'm getting myself into. :p

A lot of the zaniness comes from side activities like side quests and mini games. The main story itself is actually really gripping, if a bit melodramatic in parts.

Only played the first one.
Definitely gonna pick this one up.

I love games that have cool characters doing cool stuff while looking cool.
I call it "the "JoJo theorem"

It's back in stock, thank goodness. I'm having a little back and forth with a fellow Yakuza fan on the discord channel about who has superior tastes, Canada or the UK, this would have put a spanner in the works for that debate!

I don't really care, whoever wins, we all win!

In stock at Game Collection, if you hurry they might still dispatch today.

When would that deliver? Monday?

Obviously I won't hold you accountable for the postal service in my area :)

I ordered at half 1 today and they dispatched it today.

That said in their FAQ they say you need to order by 3PM for same day shipping, so you might be out of luck.

They send it via Royal Mail 1st class, so, it's very much based on your area. Usually that means next day where I live, but YMMV.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.

Depends where you are in the UK, they have dispatched pre orders already which should hopefully come tomorrow however you might have missed the post for today so they'll send Monday for Tuesday now I would think.

Can't wait to play this. Playing through the series in anticipation, starting with Yakuza 1. As clunky as it is these days, I'm enjoying myself so far. I can see the targeting and movement system during fighting getting frustrating in more difficult fights further on in the game (I'm only on chapter 4 so far), but maybe I just need to get better at it.

Now to try and find Yakuza 2 for a decent price before I finish the first game - already own 1, 3, 4, 5 and Dead Souls, but annoyingly the only game in the series I don't own is the most difficult and expensive to find. Why didn't I get into this series when it was originally released?!

That is odd the Yakuza 2 is the most expensive but funny enough I think that game made me complete fan of the game and is easily my favorite one (still have to play 5).

yea, Y2 was pretty limited cuz Y1 bombed pretty hard. Not sure how it was able to get a release here. I was lucky enough to find it way back at a local Best Buy when it first came out.They had like one copy.

Hey all

I wrapped up Yakuza 1 a few months ago on PS2 and have just started the sequel.

I'm thinking of picking up Yakuza 0, but I was wondering I should stick to release order.

Can someone tell me if its safe to jump into 0 without knowing where it leads too?

Thanks x
