Aselith - promo is all launch week (next week), but as I understand it, it's in-store only. Last i checked Kmart's site, they didn't even list the game.

Yakuza 4 |OT| Welcome back, hostess bars & proper boxart!
- Thread starter IrishNinja
- Start date
I've played through all three games, but 3 was the one that clicked for me. Did every sidequest I could find and sunk 30 hours it... and still only ended up with 25% completion. Despite me having about seven games in the mail (and most of them being beefy RPGs), this one is top priority. Hope it lives up to the hype as the best story of the series.
I've preordered this, but just realised that I still haven't finished Yakuza 3. The first two games I bought and poop socked in a weekend and I had planned to do the same for 3, but I got distracted with side-quests and never finished. Think I'll quickly wrap it up at the weekend and forget about the rest of the side-quests.

Ahaha, I didn't literally attach a sock to my ass for pooping, I just meant I sat there all weekend and completed each game. Not in the same weekend, though. Still, once I started each, I couldn't put the controller down. I was the same for the half that I've played of Y3, but as I recall, my car broke down and I got distracted with other stuff and never ended up getting back to it.

Of course you didn't, but I was just thrown off by that phrase. I don't think I've ever seen someone use that one before.

Pre-ordered for 40 euro-bucks.

Normally I don't buy avatars, but I made an exception for Yakuza 4 to show my support. I'm glad this game gets more coverage than Yakuza 3, Sega seems to have faith in this one.

Ungimped? Nice. Will be getting this then. Skipped 2 because my PS2's dead, and 3...yeah.

I really enjoyed 3, but 4 is better is almost every way, especially if you weren't a fan of the orphanage stuff. The new playable characters in 4 are all great to play as an make a welcome change from Kazuma.

I remember it being similar to the previous Yakuza games in terms of default difficulty but, without going into spoilers, there's a lengthy fight near the end that I imagine would have been pretty hard and/or frustrating had I been playing on one of the higher difficulties.
Even though I fucking love the box art, I'm not gonna be buying this day 1, at least not within the first few weeks. But also because no one's doing any sort of special preorder bonus that warrants my attention.
Sorry, Sega. You gone done well, but you'll have to wait before taking my money for a while.

Fuck yeah, nice OP!
I think I will need to get the Steelbook edition. My Y3 playthrough was not so long ago and I'm hyped.
Why doesn't this game have more fans on GAF? The only time Yakuza gets sensationalist attention is when they cut content.

I absolutely hated 90% of 3 with all of that babysitting bollocks, so I hope this is much better.
Renting before buying this time though.
I never cared about the cut content, I'm a main story guy. I just blast through the main missions.

Thx. Still looking for a cheap source for the Kuro edition. Zavvi, Shopto, etc. all only have the standard edition.

It looks like SEGA only ships one specific edition per country. You can't pre-order the standard edition anywhere in Germany even if you wanted to -- it's all Kuro. UK shops on the other hand don't seem offer the Kuro edition at all.schennmu said:
And we're only a few days away from release. I don't think that'll change.

Thx for the info. I'll just walk into a shop or use amazon then.
I loved Yakuza 3 enough to get the platinum trophy but I was going to pass on Y4 for the time being because I need to reduce the amount of money I'm spending on games. However after trying the Y4 demo on PSN I realised how much I want to go back to Kamurocho and those characters again and had placed a preorder within minutes. Now I can't fricking wait!

Finished 3 a month or so ago. Looking forward to this one and it's great that we get the full game this time.
I probably would have done every sidequest on 3 but the random battles start to become really annoying, especially since they give almost zero experience at that point in the game.
