That involves having to put a disk in the drive. Hassle. It’s around £15 from the Mexican store, so will probably buy some credit when I travel through in a few weeks time.

And the throwing money around like confetti; the real estate sub game; the whole plot. It was crazy 1980’s Japan, greed is good on steroids, before the long depression they’ve been in since.

There’s 10% off if you pre-order on the Xbox. So the UK version is now £22.49.

You should like it then. Things to note are 1. You save in telephone booths 2. you replenish energy by eating food or by drinking energy drinks (you can buy them from supermarkets and convenience stores). That's it. Enjoy.

Yes you do.

That's a really good price. I sold my NGPC (boxed but with none of the paperwork); Metal Slug and Dark Arms individually earlier this year for more than what you paid for all of that lot.

They really should have released a compilation of the (far better) download only Sega 3D Classics. Outrun and Streets of Rage 2 are brilliant.

I played through Metal Gear Rising (on Easy admittedly) without realising you could upgrade your abilities.

I didn’t realise there was a run button in the Yakuza games until one of the more recent entries (I think Zero, but could have been 5). I just walked everywhere.

Yeah.

Do them all again on Hard

Whilst I'm really enjoying this from the few hours I've played, I'm a bit concerned about progression. A lot of new events as they unlock require you to buy a new vehicle, and I'd imagine that the vehicles I started with will need to be replaced with something superior later on. Is there a lot of grinding involved, or as you progress you get showered with enough earnings to buy new vehicles broadly as and when required?

Yes, there is.

A week before Yakuza Kiwami II, which in turn is a week before Dragon Quest XI.

Potentially Octopath Traveller, but I'm a bit concerned over the game length in that it could be a bit too long and bloated, and Dragon Quest XI is out in September. So may pass.
