    Dunno much about whisky tumblers but they seem reassuring heavy.

    I don't like how the regular game case fits into the box (I ended up disassembling the box a bit to get it out without damaging the packaging) and the art book feels a bit like generic collector's ed tat but overall it feels like a decent first step into special edition land for the Yakuza series.

    I think the real-life version of the spellbook from Ni no Kuni was my favourite piece of tat. Complete soundtracks are appreciated although tend to be quite rare. The red Classic Controller Pro from the special edition of Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii also saw a lot of use as well.

    Nice choices. 

    I like the MGS1 european CE (tshirt, memory card stickers, OST, dogtags, poster and post cards). 

    I never bought or played any of them but the WoW CEs were always pretty spiffy from what I remember.

  • Turns out my copy had the art book ting. All very nice but the game is held in a cardboard sleeve. The "white shoes" of video game collecting. You look at it and its fucked.
  • Anyway, I'M GOIN IN

  • Good to remind y'all that there's a survey via the games info pane on yr consoles that'll explicitly ask if you want to see the Fist Of The North Star game come out over here. Y'all know what needs to be done.

    There's also a general "what else dya want?" question where you can go all caps about a 3-5 release like I did.

    Which whisky glass does it come with? I just Googled it and Norlan popped up first, it's not them is it? Quite fancied them after The Daddy's recommendation and seeing them in Altered Carbon.
  • The special edition package is a thing of beauty!

    Haha, bit of a stretch then.  

    I didn't come close either.  Trying to play them both in tandem.  This will get confusing.

    Only had a quick look at 6 yesterday, but loving how dynamic the street fights are though.  Minor spoiler about what could happen in a regular battle:

  • Game just gets better and better, had to force myself off it for a break and iv mainly been concentrating on side content.
  • New engine is so good. I don't want to sprint anywhere, just want to drink it all in. Nice little touches everywhere.

    So much to see and do too, only thing i miss is the disco dancing.
    Love all the little nods to past games etc.
  • I've found the combat animation(?) A little bit jerky, but even after just 1 chapter I'm totally sucked into this world again.

    Are there many references to Yakuza 0 in Yakuza 6? I'm not even going to start it before finishing Yakuza 5 but I don't have the willpower to finish Y0 first too.

  • Yakuza 5 is only available in PSN store isnt it? 

    Or is there an Asian region disc version with english language menus and subs?
