Thanks for telling me that i didn't know that and it basically sounds like we are getting the game of year edition with all the DLC and extra stuff and ya they announced yakuza 5 coming outside Japan in December 2014 at the PlayStation experience i believe so its been over half a year since they announced it coming out in Q3 of 2015 witch is around summer time but ya i know its a huge game so maybe thats why its coming out later maybe if it was just a straight port it almost be out since it come back in December 2012 in Japan luckily i played yakuza 5 have the Japanese copy but don't understand Japanese so i really love to play yakuza 5 again so i can understand it and plat it and just because I've been craving a yakuza game to play lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still get the them anyway if more come out outside Japan anyway ya i think my first import will probably be .hack vs, cause i heard most of it has english txt to it and it's a fighter so pretty easy enuff to know what to do lol. lol correction i just looked at my game's and do have a few import's but only import's of game's that are in the usa and i wanted the steel book from them like bad company 1, other then that i imported battle vs chess cause i loved that game on pc age's ago. i just wish they would put english sub's in more of their's game's, i dont mind reading them to understand but with big story game's like yakuza, if ya cant read them then you lose alot out of the story much less the side mish's and not knowing what to do lol.

Ya shockingly i beat yakuza 5 Japanese version most of the time they tell you where to go when they don't you have to talk to someone do something thankfully i had a friend tell what do it when it came to that but still didn't understand the story so i for sure get the usa version of yakuza 5 when its out to fully enjoy it whenever that is most likely around Christmas time witch sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickghost Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I might have been miffed about the delay, but since we just had a vague '3rd quarter' for a window I'm not. 3rd quarter could have been as late as September (and as my last post in the other topic said, I was expecting such when no date had yet been specified) and fall overlaps with it, so really it's just an extra month or two: October or November, MAYBE (but highly unlikely) early December. If they were aiming for Christmas they'd probably just say so. As for price, I'm not keeping up on what bonus content they're adding- maybe for some kind of collector's edition? Do they do that for digital releases? On the subject of price though, SEGA seems to be one of the few companies NOT to charge the usual $60 price tag for new games... At least, I bought Sonic Generations at midnight launch for $50. I don't know if that's their standard though, especially for a game big as Yakuza.

At least, I bought Sonic Generations at midnight launch for $50. I don't know if that's their standard though, especially for a game big as Yakuza. i belive i picked up both yakuza 4 and dead souls for 60 when they first came out and it's being said that yakuza 5 will have all the dlc with it. my only thought is allthou it's new to network and other country's, it's still pretty old and 2 game's behind in the franchise so i dont belive it should have a full value price tag on it. the collector's edition for digi they have been doing lately with like call of duty and battlefield, so that wont shock me. they did not set a date and i agree that a few more month's wont be a biggy, i forget just when they said it but they did state summer at one time. i belive it was when they first said it and put 4 and souls on the network.

stickghost Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 i forget just when they said it but they did state summer at one time. Summer and 3rd quarter are pretty much the same thing in North America. Summer officially ends in September, so 3rd quarter is a little bit longer of a window. As for the price, whatever it is, I don't feel charging the standard new price is unjustified. Most stuff doesn't get released at the same time everywhere: games, movies, books, shows... so everything is 'new' relative to the region. We're talking anything from days, weeks, months, or years- the time between releases typically depends on any efforts needed to bring things up to snuff, like in this case translating, which is a pretty big deal. You could still say it's a new release since it's the first version of Yakuza 5 to have English subtitles. Or you could just view it like a special edition rerelease.

stickghost Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I guess I'll post in this topic. PS3's Open-World, Crime-Themed Yakuza 5 Will Cost $40 - GameSpot Holy shit. To summarize the link, Y5 will be $40, with a further 15% off if you preorder. And here I thought $50 would have been a great price. No date yet though. I wasn't going to jump straight in but now I might (I was gonna do a 1-4 marathon first.) Time to represent Yakuza in North America guys (I only recently got into them- 2013.) I know there's a rumor about a physical release for Asia that MIGHT have English subtitles, but if you only buy import, you're not supporting Yakuza in North America. If you must have a physical copy for posterity, you can wait and get a cheaper used copy later (importing is already expensive.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaHentai Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 If I'm reading the PlayStation Store entry correctly, it comes out on New Year's Eve. Also, it looks like the rumour about an English Asian version didn't come to pass, so it looks like we Anglophones are downloading. If, against all odds, the English Asian release actually does come to pass, chanced are the trophies will stack anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickghost Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I sure hope so, because that would be pretty damn late, certainly not 'fall'. The article said 'no date' so I doubt there is a official date if it wasn't announced at the same time as the pricing... Unless whoever wrote the article just forgot to put that info in. On that note, it's also possible the discount is actually a sale and not preorder-specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nostros Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) just pre-ordered it and this is what it said "Expected Playable Date: 12/30/2015 @ 08:00 PM". side note. the sale was on the pre-order. got it for 33 and change. who know's if it will go up by the time the game come's out or not thou.

ShadowAFC Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It's not on the UK store yet. I wonder how much it will cost here. I might have to buy some US credit if it follows the usual regional pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygunz_81 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It's not on the UK store yet. I wonder how much it will cost here. I might have to buy some US credit if it follows the usual regional pricing. I think it might be £30 and 15% off for pre order or something similar so maybe they realised a GBP and Dollar isnt the same thing finally. Im not sure tho cos I dont see it on there yet either.

Ninja95 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 For America it's $33.99 if you pre order. $39.99 otherwise. Comes with a theme if you pre order. Gonna do that tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7eight Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yakuza 5 just appeared on the South Africa psn store, appears as "disc only" and a December 7 release. Is this hope for a physical release in eu regions or just a place holder until it becomes available for pre order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
