This game is outstanding. There is just so much content I can hardly get my head around it.

They don't know when or if this item will be back in stock. I may pick this up when it's on sale or soon.

Or not...

10-11 days for dispatch. The best place to get it at the moment seems to be argos.

Got this and it's quality. Only on chapter 2 but enjoying it so far, can't wait for it to open up a bit. Worth getting and supporting!

This is the first game I've bought at full RRP since GTA V. Enjoying it so far, even if it feels very last-gen in places. Will probably take my time with this, dip in and out of it over the year.

The combat in this is so therapeutic

63 hours later and I'm done. That was a hell of a ride. Pretty much loved it from start to finish. A great story told with superb direction and acting, a satisfying and approachable but deep enough combat system, fun side diversions, and a terrific sense of humour made for a consistently fun time. I'll probably jump back in to wrap up some side stuff.

Kiwami can't come soon enough.

Loving the cabaret mini game in this.

at how quickly the karaoke made an appearance.

My guess re plot: Kaz's bud is setting us up the bomb.

I got to a point in this game where it's asking me to wait while some guy clears out an appartment. I've done other things for like 30 minutes and nothing is happening. I'm done. it was getting repetitive anyway.

Isn't that right before you do the money island stuff? If so you have barely touched the game!

It's chapter 5.

Loving every minute - those side quests are hilarious!

Managed to beat my first Mr Shakedown. Oddly, I managed to accomplish it on the character whose fighting styles I feel least comfortable with. (Majima.)

Finished. 59.36 mins and 44% completion. Absolutely outstanding on just about every level. If boost mode clears up the screen tearing issues then there would be no technical niggles that irked me at all.
Great story, great characters and great tattoos.

Did you go meet a squatter? If so, I think I just did that bit. I got paged to return to the apartment after learning two moves via Bacchus. Took all of 5-10 minutes. Funny thing is, returning to the apartment opens up a new gameplay element (business management), and many of the friendship meter NPCs have new stuff to say, along with side mission NPCs making a reappearance.

I just remembered I haven't done a single bit of baseball training in this game. I think I'll pop in there on my next session.

Favourite so far has to be God Hands' sleeve tattoos:

Shrink-Wrapped Dream

Kaz getting all serious about his postcards

The real estate stuff is fun. But quite a long slog. Hoping it's worth it in the end. Not looking forwards to trying to save up for the really expensive properties that I think are coming up.

You really need the money you get from completing it to allow you to upgrade all your abilities. Also it not only unlocks all the sectioned off parts of your skill tree but at the end enables a new move set. Exactly the same of Majima with the hostess club side game too.

Messed up a Mr Shakedown which would have netted me close to ¥170M I even had a shed load of the best health pots. In my defence, the guy had 3 health bars, and he got me with a leap+pummel move which hit very hard indeed. Also, he was my third such encounter today, 2 of which I beat with ease. Oh well, here's hoping I run into the strawberry floater tomorrow.
