Good grief with this mess of a launch.

Let's just hope they didn't mistakenly upload Sonic 2006 or something.

So true.

I believe it's the 3rd chapter of the game (?) so quite a while...

Iirc it's

Kiryu -> Akiyama -> Haruka -> Saejima -> Shinada

Spoiler

Actually it's Kiryu -> Saejima -> Akiyama/Haruka - > Shinada

Not quite.

Spoiler

Kiryu -> Saejima -> Haruka, then Akiyama/Haruka -> Shinada

 

[masteratt]

Anyone on UK store got it yet or should I stop being stubborn / hopeful and call it a night?

Really? Man,

Spoiler

it's been a while but Saejima was sort of the weakest part to me. I like Sapporo but the story stuff with the hunting, felt like it dragged for me.

The rest of Europe had to wait about 30 mins for it to show up, so maybe give until then and then call it a night if there is no movement.

Spending time in prison was one of the more unique experience for me

 

[state_vector_collapse]

I don't know what I expected from the EU PSN store.

They clearly don't know their arse from their elbow., I mean, Yakuza 4 upgrade pack has Epic Mickey 2 as it's store artwork for fucks sake.

So much for that guy from Sega's promise of midnight. Bedtime for me.

Here here.

After Yakuza 5 this Tuesday and Yakuza 0 coming to west news I thought hard times were over. But dear lord does Sony / Sega know how to test our passion.

 

[Peff]

Spoiler

Akiyama only gets half a chapter

? Talk about eleventh hour bummer

 

[Burgess_101]

Its up £32.99.

The prison stuff was my favourite part of his section

 

[Kensuke]

Yeah, I don't see the discount happening tonight.

Fingers crossed.

Yup, no discount. it's tempting to get it right away since who knows how long it will take for Sony EU to get their shit together.

Don't worry, he has some great bits, and his revamped fighting style is super fun.

 

[UnluckyKate]

I got that when I tried to buy it on the web store, but worked fine on the ps3.

yep tried and downloading.

God I forgot how slow and painfull the store on PS3 is. Also, these damn preparation to download time haha

 

[kuroshiki]

Time to plug the PS3 in tonight.

You better start downloading now. It is going to take a while to download and install

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

Good grief with this mess of a launch.

Let's just hope they didn't mistakenly upload Sonic 2006 or something.

There's no digital version of Sonic '06 for PS3, so that would actually be kinda good in its own way?

 

[E_Darkness]

Its up £32.99.

!?!

Also, £33? That is like £3 more than it should be. And urgh. Our PSN being crappy and not letting us preload and not even getting a discount. None of this is probably Sega's fault, I'd assume it's PSN because EU PSN is hot garbage.

 

[Moze]

Pretty sure it is supposed to be £29.99.

 

[Yamibito]

Its up £32.99.

sega

why

 

[E_Darkness]

Oh well, fuck it. Not getting it tonight. Really bummed out that I can't get it at a discount because I don't have PS+ while NA PSN could preload it and get a 15% discount without needing PS+.

Spoiler

I secretly hope they fucked up and it's supposed to be cheaper

Discont probably tomorrow as it when the PS+ stuff updates. Well i waited 3 years so i guess i can wait 1 more night

 

[deadfolk]

In Ireland it's not showing up in search, but the GB link redirects to the Irish page. No discount.

 

[Willy Wanka]

That better not be the final price.

Just SCEE being regular old SCEE. <3

 

[Infernostew]

So. Close.

 

[Peff]

Nice, good to know. Hopefully the old straightforward fighting system won't be hard to get used to again after Ishin's style switching.

 

[Percy]

Think I might wait until this goes on sale tbh. This shitshow release has made me realise I don't need to play this day one at this point.

 

[masteratt]

Its up £32.99.

Woo

[Alessandro]

I have ps+ and on Italian store shows as 39.99€.

I can wait.

 

[E_Darkness]

Same.

I was getting it day one because I wanted to get the 15% discount that we couldn't get through preordering in the UK. I didn't want to get it via NA PSN because I wanted to actually support it in Europe.
Now there's no discount I can't see a point in getting it, especially when I've got uni work still to do and my budget is very tight currently.

Basically, urgh. I'll get it in a few weeks.

 

[Elios83]

Game is up but PS+ discount is not implemented yet. It has happened with many games in the past when they're uploaded at midnight.
Usually it's fixed during the next day so wait for tomorrow.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

All downloaded and ready to fucking rock! Holy shit!

I would not mind it unlocking at 9PM. 12 would be fine too.

Fuck you, work.

Yeah but then we won't get to play it til the day after tomorrow considering download speeds

 

[delSai]

Urgh, i'll get some sleep and download the game when i'm up again. Taking too long right now.

 

[Moze]

lol at the exaggeration in this thread. So they messed up the midnight launch on a Tuesday in a region that almost always gets Wednesday releases. It's hardly a huge deal. Just wait until tomorrow and they will fix it.

No, releases have been moved to Tuesday for a while now. They mess this up all the time too.

As I said it happens with many games that are uploaded at midnight.
PS+ discounts are activated the next morning.

 

[napalmjam]

Don't care about the discount I am buying it now I can't wait any longer !

 

[E_Darkness]

Doesn't stop the discount being PS+ only in EU.

 

[Burgess_101]

Don't care about the discount I am buying it now I can't wait any longer !

I would be tempted but I can't play until about 5pm tomorrow anyway so I may as well leave it for now.

 

[Zafir]

Blergh. Typical they mess up the discount. Hopefully it'll be fixed in the morning and I'll download it while I'm at work.

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Bought.
Can't play it till next year but SEGA and Nagoshi need to be sent a message.

Project Diva F 2nd got the price hike as well when it was released on UK PSN.

 

[Razlo]

Having to have double the space on your HDD to download a game really it my ass on this one. Oh the amount of shit I had to delete to start the download!

 

[deadfolk]

I'm torn. If I don't do it now, there is no way it will be downloaded before I get home from work tomorrow. In fact, there are no guarantees either way.

Think I'm going to wait for the discount.

 

[Razlo]

Bought.
Can't play it till next year but SEGA and Nagoshi need to be sent a message.

And more importantly PlayStation, so they'll keep doing this if SEGA won't.
