Just copped this at Best Buy online for 30 bucks. Tried to buy it during lunch at a BB since I had credit and GCU, but they were sold out. So I ordered online at the BB closest to my house for in-store pick up. Will pick it up tonight.

I think I'm in Chapter 6 about 15 hrs in
I've played as both Kirya and Majima, finally started the real estate part

So I love both the crazy, wacky, zany, side quests : I've helped a dominatrix better dom her clients, I helped wanksta musicians give authentic interviews, I've engaged in break dancing battles for money, pretended to be a girls boyfriend for her dad, helped a kid get back a stolen DQ3, infiltrated a cult and I loved all of it. The side quest are varied and fun and rewarding.

I also love the main story line and all of the melodrama, the comedy and the guys who rip off their shirts and show off their dope yakuza tats before fighting. I'm still pretty early but I actually prefer Majimas story line to Kiryu's right now. I don't want to spoil it for anyone but he looks like he's going to have a very good character arc. I like the idea that they're both out of the yakuza and working to get back in using different methods.

I'm getting more used to the town and trying to get familiar.

As for the combat I like it but i can get tired of all the button mashing I do, but all the heat finishing moves are pretty damn good, did one where I rammed an orange into a dudes mouth and then axed kicked him, majima has the slugger (bat) style an break dancing style which are both dope.

Right now I'd give this game a 8.5/10

I just finished the sub story shrike wrapped dream, i was crying tears laughing man the set up and delivery is so good I had to post about it, gonna put it in spoilers though so as not to ruin it because it's comedic gold :ohlawd:
So it starts out and theres some sad kid, you tell him to go home but his mom is mad at him, Kiryu asks why and he's like I dunno I just asked about this special vending machine and she got really mad
The kid explains the vending machine is in a dark alley and he's afraid to go back there himself so Kiryu being the stand up guy he is tells the kid that hes wise not to go back there himself and that he'll get whatever it is from the vending machine for him
So they go back there and kiryu realizes it's a porno mag that the kid wants, and the kids like yeah see it comes in shrink wrap it must be important! Kiryu like :merchent: nah you can't have that it's not for you, kid starts crying about how all adults do is lie and asks when he grows up will he be a liar too
Kiryu is like :mjcry: back when I was a kid adults were always mean to me and now look at me lying to this little kid so he decides he's gonna get a porno mag for the kid
Then these office workers come out and take a smoke break and they're both females so kiryu tries to fall back, then some old geezers see kiryu standing in the alley and start gossiping about how he's a lonely coli nikka who beats his meat like it owes him money, and how hes despicable cuz he has a kid with him :hhh:
So kiryu falls back again and then he sees his secretary and shes like what are you doing out here? and kiryu is completely flabbergasted
here's a video

It's some stuff off a Farley brothers movie or something :mjlol: :laff: I was cracking up the whole time

Been playing this practically any time I am home. At 49 hours on chapter 10. Think theres 17 or 18 chapters total.

That real estate grind is real. Even right now while Im typing im making money :myman:

Loved the scenes where they show you how to properly conduct a business meeting, the job interview stuff etc. Low key game dropping some gems on the youth :obama:

Its crazy this game has no buzz like that. Yall are seriously missing out.

Im at around 100 hours deep, on the final chapter and I'd say this is definitely in my top 5 ALL TIME games.

The only game that could be compared to a Shenmue type, and taking away the Shenmue Nostalgia this game is 1000 times better. The twists and turns the story takes, the reveals and character development.....shyt is retarded.

I completed 98/100 sidequests. Finished all the training for all the diff fighting styles, completed all the business subplots for each main character...... And Im not even burnt out. I cant wait to see the dramatic finale when I finish up the plot tonight :lupe:

What are those little cards with Asian girls used for

Theres a breh in an alleyway that will give you 5mil yen for each of the ABC sets you complete.

Just a sidenote the B and later C cards only appear on the streets after you collect the A and later the B.
