Oh, I'm happy for you then. Hopefully the Yakuza 5 demo will do the same for me whenever I'm able to play it.

Everyone download the Yakuza demo so Sega can see there is demand outside Nippon.

Success has yet to make a good game in the couple of years that I've known of their existence; I just like the aesthetic of The Dark Spire

that's an argument any 40-score advocate would make, though
You have a point.
But whatever, it's Yakuza 5.

Where do I download?

Has this ever happened before ever or is this just wishful thinking? I didn't think Sony/Sega would look at where people are downloading from, just the number of downloads.

Well its not just one weapon, its a whole Weapon Class. You must not really play much Monster Hunter or you would understand. In Monster Hunter the weapon you choose determines everything about how you will play, from the speed of attacks to what kind of dodges and defense you have. So the new weapon announcements really are a big deal.

Yak5 contains VF2 and TnTatsu so it already contains a 35/40 and a 33/40 game and that's before we get to the dating, dancing, UFC, crazy taxi etc stuff. Oh... and the actual game itself.
I mean - i understand people's scepticism but this game looks to be content loaded.
also - no Wii U reviews. So the first reviews i assume next week. maybe

Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012, Nintendo, for Nintendo 3DS)[23]
Yakuza 5 (2012, Sega, for PlayStation 3)[24]
Although i love the yakuza franchise, i find it hard to believe it deserves a 40/40.
Of all the games being given 40/40 by famistu, only OOT, SC, Vagrant Story, Bayonetta and Skyrim seems to be on the money.
All of the other games have issues and are simply not good enough to get the 40/40.

I genuinely believe it was the idolmaster stuff that won them over.
"You mean I get to be a manly gangster and raise a J-Pop princess to stardom? GOTY"

Oh yeah! They added that, huh? That explains the 40. Idolmaster + Yakuza = Japan swoons.
Skyrim definately has issues (although with some mods, most are fixed), but the sum of it parts makes it a very good game, and im a sucker for Elders Scroll games.

Is there a special "lure" for Yakuza this time. I ask because even if we can take Fami scores at face value, Yakuza 5 is after all the highest grade they have awarded to any game in the series. And most of those games are good.

How the hell are people on GAF still psyched for Famitsu scores? What the hell.

Idolmaster Quest featuring Haruka.
And 5 different cities, 5 protags, I dunno it's just bigger and more varied this time I guess.
Well, its nice to see it scores better than previous yakuza games (which i already liked), so thats good news!

Does game informer announce a new CoD weapon each issue?

Nagoshi has said that the campaign alone has 2x's the volume of Y4. And that was already a huge game. They've also thrown in a lot of attractive mini-games. A sidescroller, VF2, Taiko etc.

Yeah it's really jam packed with content it seems.

Don't expect anything great and you will enjoy it. (dead Souls)
Well, no, it's not skepticism. It's more like, good game or not, Famitsu's review isn't indicative of anything whatsoever. I'm sure the game is great, but I'd probably still think that even if Famitsu gave it a 2. I played the demo already and had a good time with it.
Yakuza games are games I get day 1, because if any game has your money's worth it's Yakuza, always so much to do.
A lot of those games are pretty darn good. Maybe not perfect, but an argument can be made for excellent scores. But Final Fantasy XIII-2?

The Famitsu review text is always hilarious. They rarely say anything of any real substance about a game.
"It feels good. The tempo is nice. It's fun. You can play for a while."
