Leaked by amazon. I was almost ready to import it. I'm not even a fan of the anime as I never really seen it but the demo was amazing and from the same team as Yakuza? Sign me up.

Damn, I expected a trailer!

I know next to nothing about Fist of the North Star by it's by Team Ryu Ga Gotoku so that's enough for me.

I'm very excited for this. I've been a longtime fan of HnK (FOTNS) so to hear that we are getting a western release is great news, but it is yet another day one purchase for me. Gaming is getting pretty expensive for me again. I've been grabbing a fair number of games lately.

Nice! Wasn't actually expecting an English dub (though I'll be playing in Japanese), though I suppose Valkyria Chronicles 4 also has one.

Is that fucking Kiryu finding majima in a hay stack in 80s anime cartoon style? :lol:

Hell yeah! Seriously thought there might be a chance we won't get it. So happy that we are. Love this development team's games. Like From Software, Atlus, Grasshopper Manufacture and certain other Japanese game developers, I will always play their games no matter what they make.

I'm not sure if I'm more excited by the fact that it's basically a new Yakuza game, or the fact that it's a near-AAA Fist of the North Star. Maybe about equal on both counts.

I beat it two nights ago and finished off the last two (achievable, for me) trophies, last night.

This is far and away the grindiest game in the series and it WILL take you over 150 hours to platinum it, not to mention there are a couple of early missable things to watch out over.

Thankfully, you will need to beat the game twice to collect everything, so anything missed can be done again the second time 'round.

Music is great, voice acting is incredible and the story is damn good as well,
though I feel many will be unhappy with yet another, "underwhelming final boss," that has been thrown around quite a bit in the series, lately.
. One thing that some people may find odd, is that there aren't ANY weapons in the game (just the "Hidebu," which don't count lol), which lacks a bit of variety, however that leads me to say...

... the fighting is the best thing about this game, as they've really captured the spirit and essence of HNK
even if the fighting animations constantly get repeated
.

But yeah, the sheer amount of things to do + difficulty, this is the toughest Ryu ga Gotoku/Yakuza game thus far and you need to spend a ton of time grinding for things and repeating things.

A few more spoilers, for those that want to know:

[spoiler]
- Amon returns and he's the toughest he's ever been, by far, ESPECIALLY since you can't use weapons.
- This is a completely new story, with returning characters. So this won't be a callback to the HNK you know and love, as they change things up a bit, story-wise.
- Komaki is in this game as well!

Its a great game, I'd give it a 9/10 and place it after Kiwami 2, as best in the series. It runs on the old engine, so its still in the style of Kiwami, 0 and before.
