I never preorder games any more because studios just don't deserve the benefit of the doubt these days.
That being said, the consistency of RGG games cannot be understated and I'm getting this day 1. Played through every Yakuza game a couple years ago including a couple playthroughs of Kiwami 2 and Judgement. Cannot wait!
The upgrade process for PS5 if you just had the base game and no DLC was a pain in the a$$. And now I'm seeing all this nonsense about cross save trouble and people buying the DLC separately and having problems.
Get your s*** together Sony. No one else has these problems.
I tried to play the first one on PS3 during COVID before the remasters we're announced and gave up. That game straight up sucked to play. I'm glad they overhauled it. Looking forward to playing them!
Soooo not apart of the Season Pass??? This has gotta be the first time this has happened: have a season pass and make DLC that costs money outside of it??
‘Do you just want to be known as the God of War guy for the rest of your life?’
I'm assuming that Eric is probably in his 40s at this point - judging solely off of one recent picture I've seen of him, as if he isn't young enough to do any number of things beyond GoW. But to imply that ONLY being known as the director of GoW is a bad thing? C'mon dude.
There's also articles that spoil things without including a SPOILER WARNING at the top of the page i.e The Ringer has an article about the game and spoils a huge thing that happens midway through without any kind of warning.
Never read the books. Seen one of the movies out of order and don't really remember it. Will probably still play this because it looks damn good, pure and simple.
Just give up on this company doing anything that doesn't serve their bottom line. They've become the embodiment of the companies they used to lampoon in their games.
Entered. Why not? Looked through my trophies to make sure I had it. I'm 2 away from the Platinum. Maybe I should play through it again before Ragnarok and get them... Stupid treasures and ravens.
Sad we won't be getting the sequel on current-gen. I loved this game for what it was and never got around to playing the second DLC. Probably pick this up.
Can' believe it has been 30 years. I remember my brother buying this for Sega Genesis when it came out and seeing a fatality for the first time. I was 5 lol.
Always played these with subs. I even tried to play GoT with Japanese language and subs but it had the opposite problem of old anime: the character's lips speaking English with Japanese audio lol
@Netret0120 It helps 1000% that they essentially re-use assets from the cities/towns of prior games and just make different businesses enterable. Not a complaint, mind you; I really dig that the cities for these games are characters themselves.
I sincerely am hoping for a Kiwami 3. I played through all 6 mainline Yakuza games last year in order and the jump from Kiwami 2 to a remaster of 3 was... jarring.

Re: Yakuza's Addictive Cabaret Club Will Return in Like a Dragon Gaiden on PS5, PS4
The a progress they made in the mode from 0 to Kiwami 2 was pretty large. I'm sure they'll add some more wrinkles here too. Can't wait!
Re: Deal: Stock Up on PS5 Accessories While They're Discounted This Black Friday
Got a black and white dualsense. Got a red now along with the razer charging deal.
Re: AEW: Fight Forever Is Channelling PS2, PS1 Era Wrestling Energy
I'm down. Here Comes the Pain is the standard IMO and it has those vibes. Can't wait.

Turn based RPG about wrestling? Yes please.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - God of War Special
6?! Granted, I haven't played the first 3 in like 10 years.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West's Lance Reddick Outs Mocap Work
That dude doesn't age. Looks the same now as when he was in The Wire. Just started this game and it's terrific
Re: Knockout! Cuphead Celebrates Fifth Anniversary with Physical Version
@stefan771 Difficult, beautiful, frustrating, rewarding, simple but hard to master.
Re: Knockout! Cuphead Celebrates Fifth Anniversary with Physical Version
@yeayeanaynay There isn't a ps5 version of the game.
Re: Knockout! Cuphead Celebrates Fifth Anniversary with Physical Version
Waited and waited and waited on this with no word. Finally bought it a month ago. Jokes on me...
Re: Pro Wrestling Grapples with Turn-Based RPGs in WrestleQuest on PS5, PS4

Re: SEGA Is Dropping the 'Yakuza' Name from Now On
@rvd4 I'd imagine 8 is going to be turn based like 7.
Or, and I just thought of this, dual protagonists Ichi and Kiryu with the Ichi sections turn based and Kiryu sections traditional beat-em-up....
Re: SEGA Is Dropping the 'Yakuza' Name from Now On
Makes sense if you're aware of the history of the franchise. Trying to explain this to a Westerner who's new to the series is another story....

Re: Yakuza: Like a Dragon 2 Reveal Could Be Incoming
Semi excited. Nagoshi leaving is big enough to have me wait a bit before deciding on jumping in or not.
