    Man, must be in seriously short supply.

    Pre-ordered with Zavvi and they still haven't sent it.

    I was reading on the Yakuza subreddit last night that theres stock shortages in the UK too. Excellent game so far though from what ive played. So easy to get distracted by sidequests for an hour or so

    the most ridiculous thing is that it's not on the PS Store despite all the stock shortages.

    What he said ^

    Oh, weird, couldn't see it online. My bad.

    Managed to get a reserve in Argos today though for €52.

    Only on chapter 1 but WOW this game is fun! There is a LOT of talking but I'm already sucked into the story. The voice acting and CGI is cracking (read that each of the main Yakuza guys were modeled from popular Japanese actors and it shows). Game goes from a very serious cut scene to heading to a bar for a drink and some karaoke. Speaking of, I heard there are a lot of mini games in this I was sure karaoke was one I wouldn't bother with but after the one near the start, I can't wait to give it a go again. Can't help but sing along to Breaking the World.

    The combat is better than I thought it would be and looks to be really deep with unlocks and styles. The whackiness just flows so well in the game. Already laughed more than I thought I would just at the dialogue.

    "I want you to meet this guy, he's a fisting artist"
    "Uuhhh I'm not into that"
    "Oh, I meant punching artist"

    HAHA WTF :pac:

    What an epic tune. Here's my first an only attempt at it so far but still stuck in my head. The change in video half way through is just genius.

    Amazon have this listed as:

    "Usually dispatched within 10 to 11 days"

    Does this sound legit? Has anyone bought this elsewhere?

    I'm only on chapter 2, the whole battle to finish chapter 1 was just epic and the story is actually like watching a Yakuza film. I don't have side stories, business management or mini games even open yet so it can only get better. Completely kicks FF15's arse.

    Really enjoying it too. Some of it has me in stitches. Even the names of some of the NPC's you run into have me in bits.

    They do, you can pay by card if you want. Delivery will take about 4-5 days though.

    Went back to this after finishing up something else, such a great laugh. Near the end of chapter 2, just been adding around with sub stories and mini games. Bastard Mr shakedown took my whole 17 mil off me in one fight, sickened. The video game kid and dominatrix side quests were brilliant, had me grinning like a fool.

    Also, very refreshing doing the 'buy bums drinks' mission. No helpful icons on the map or list of drinks you need, have to listen to their order and traipse around town looking for them in different shops. Sounds like a chore but actually really enjoyed randomly looking around discovering things instead of being told where to go.

    How are you finding it so far? What fighting style are you using? Beast is so strong but I find it very boring how slow it is. Rush is class but I'm home back to brawler as I find it's a good mix power and strength with great finishers.

    Really cool game, I mostly use brawler I think it is, I love picking up objects and bating the living day lights out of the lads :D.

    What a gem of a game. Loving it so far. I like how the sidequests are so silly and light-hearted compared to the main quest, and the combat is a lot deeper than I anticipated.

    Holy sh*t though, the boss at the end of chapter one was so difficult, took me around 25 attempts to beat him!

    Getting far to distracted as usual with the mini games, only about half way through and have nearly 50 hours put into it.

    Such a genius way to end the fight. 5 minutes listening to Majima and he's contender for character of the year already. More people should be playing this game, seriously.
