Me too! It means I can leave my Vita at home when I go on holiday. I wonder how fishing will work with a touch screen?

Isn't there a no encounter item (Beads of Good Fortune?) you could have equiped?

Nobody is excited for 428: Shibuya Scramble (21-9 on PS4)? It's not even on the list!

So, Resident Evil 2 is in third person mode right? Same as in RE4? Can't watch the trailers at work.

I feel like such a tool. Was waiting for them to comfirm the western release of Kiwami 2. Only to find out later that it's already been announced and even has a release date in august!

Time to dust off my Vita!

Seeing the animé fanservice in those screenshots, I can see the appeal of playing this in handheld mode out of sight of my wife.

Onomichi must be one of the best locations I ever visited in a game. So charming. Feels like a town from a JRPG, including weird locals en quests.

You don't need to spend it. But the second part of the quest didn't triggered for me until I had enough money to buy the picture.

They didn't cut that much out. Just the hostess minigame and an obscure Japanese history quiz.

Chapter 3, just arrived in Onomichi. What a great change of scenery. Looking forward beating up the locals. But I have to say, so far Kiryu is making some bad parenting choices.

Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami are essential since they lay the foundations for the rest of the series. You get to know Haruka and Kiryu, the Tojo clan, etc. Yakuza 2 is quite self contained. I've never played it but looking forward to Kiwami 2. Yakuza 3 introduces the orphanage in Okinawa, Yakuza 4 and 5 some main (playable) cast members. Both make an appearance in Yakuza 6. But the stories are all quite self contained. It's basically "I thought I was out, but they keep dragging me back in". I think you can play 6 after Kiwami without much trouble. There are some references you might miss, but they are not really that important.

Also got it for €15,99 in the sale. Will play after I'm done with Yakuza 6.
