Yakuza - it's like Shenmue, but actually fun to play

That's just m' carrying money. -
Imagine carrying that and trying to pay 400yen to play baseball.
The game's commentary on money culture is quite sharp. -
Yar, they really went all out with the money thing.
Thoughts with minor spoilers about things from chapter 5-6:
Spoiler:
It's a lot of fun, and I've laughed pretty steadily for a while now. But, I think the story and system design has suffered in order to allow that theme - lavish, disgusting wealth - to flourish. Change is good, so I'm not complaining because things are different. I am just feeling like, despite there being a lot to do, that worthwhile choices are incredibly narrow.
Also, nugget = best manager. -
Aw man, forgot how much I adore that Yakuza soap opera. Because that's what this series is - an ongoing soap opera about tough guys with gaudy clothes and massive tattoos talking about honour and feelings. Amazing stuff.

I want this and Nioh! But Mass Effect and Horizon are out next month too, wtf is with this time of year? -
It's fucking chaos.
-
There's also nier automata and a zelda and Mario sports mix.
I think it's everyone gunning for Christmas and fucking up.
I agree with your points cints. I carry on helping people because I'm a nice guy but most recently my priorities have meant I've ignored a couple of them when I'm just racing to grab my next billion and run past the plebs. -

Remember when no games used to come out between January and the summer? -
Been having loads of fun with a thing that opens up in chapter 7.
Also watched a load of soft porn just to befriend the manager of a vid shack. -

Then I take it youve also met Steve Shiling- director of such hits as Indian Jeans and A.T -
The videotape side mission actually creeped me out a bit.
Chapter 13 and really enjoying it still. -

What sort of length are talking about? The game I mean you dirty minded people.
Are there a set number of side missions per chapter?I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts... -
There's 100 side missions in the game - some are just conversations. Yakuza games regularly run 40-50 hours for most people, although when I did my game marathon a couple of years ago I streamed all of Yakuza 4 in 20 hours - entirely critical pathing tho.

Side missions are available from the start of certain chapters, not all at once. But once they are available they don't seem to disappear.
Also, there's a couple of major pieces of side-content that easily have 10 or so hours a piece.
I'm at 30 hours and I'm at chapter 7 or 8 but I've stuck loads of time into the side stuff. You could probably mainline it much faster, but you'd be missing out. -
Also Matty, if you love dancing, Out Run/Space Harriet, darts, pool and bowling.... you could probably spend days not hours, playing this.360 - optimark prime PSN - optimark_prime twitter - @optimark_prime

Had the same problem at first - the tutorial ain't great. Forget rumble and visual cues with regards the fish - once the red part of the line is submerged, hit X. -

Yeah, it's about but has, seemingly, been a surprise hit. I had the ask the dude at game if they had any in the back because it wasn't on the shelf - he went back and got me a copy. He is now my bro for life. -

Same price as digital and I could have it, like, soon... Hmm.I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts... -
Everywhere's bloody sold out!
Amazon telling me they're dispatching in 10 days & bit I want it NOW!
Finger poised over a digital version.
1. Couple of questions - it's mainly a brawler, right? How good is the brawling?
2. Really don't like the nilism of the gtas - I find them unfunny and depressing. Is this like that?

1. It's not fully a brawler but the brawling is legit
2. It's funny as fuck -

The main character is a hopeful gangster in a bunch of dross and helps people just because they shout at him in the street.

This game is funny and inappropriate, along with a fantastic setting, great fighting, brilliant mini games and a good plot. It's simply fantastic fun.
Howdy, Stranger!
