Ryu Ga Gotoku 5 -Kiryu-


Kazuma Kiryu is back and he is as cool as ever. In Ryu Ga Gotoku 5, the first playable character is Kiryu and is set in the first city of the five of Nagasugai (Fukuoka).

You can do the usual heat moves as well as a new special heat move. One of my favourites is back too! The classic cigarette heat move.
Catch it with your eyebrow!
 Flick it in your enemies face for massive damage!! or just beat them when they're distracted. Either or...
Oh you couldn't catch it? Then lemme remind you to catch it next time.
Tenkei's (Revalations) are back too and the first one you'll pick up starts off quite interestingly. Who knows whats going on here really.
"Help me practice my squats" he politely asked her.

Once you've seen it, Kiryu whips out his phone and calls for a pizza. He unsurprisingly has a massive hunger to quash.
"Yes I'd like to try the new 5000 yen pizza"
Donate cash to your local Otaku so he can by the next Hatsune Miku album and he'll help you by selling you weapons. True Story.
"10,000 gil please"
He needs more levels. "level 10 Omae or you aint getting access to all my shit"


For the first time in a Ryu Ga Gotoku game you can drive a car.
Passenger: "just around the corner please, don't drive out of the map please"
Kiryu: "You'd best get out and use your legs before I break em"
 Then race it like you've been hired by Fujiwara Tofu.

"You spill so much as a drop of water from that cup and you're fired!"
 Then you can pimp out your ride with Idol sensation Haruka

"Yo Dawg we heard you like Haruka so we slapped her face all over your car you freak"

Once you cash in your pay you can finally play the game. This is when it really gets interesting.
Reading up on Natsu's latest adventures YES!

Cheering on the kyabajo street fights!

Go Hard and fist pump in the purikura machine.

"ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!"
After all that ruckus you caused throughout town the gentlemen of the local baseball club appear to show you the errors of your ways.
How did you all fit into 3 cars?

Then its time to time travel, go back in the past then jump into the future as doc gets you up to 88 mph with Saejima.

Kiryu is speechless.

8002F310 PS3 Update Error


You may encounter this error when updating your Playstation 3. It will cause your playstation to repeatedly restart as the update cannot continue (causes can be various, corrupt package when downloading is the most likely culprit).

The worst part of this problem is that you cannot enter service mode as the update tries to reinstall before service mode can be enabled.

This is how it can be fixed.

Things you will need:
  • A Screwdriver (to take out PS3 HDD)
  • A Spare 2.5" SATA HDD
  • A USB with the update package you are trying to install

Step 3

  1. Download the update on PC onto your USB drive ROOT>PS3>UPDATE>PS3UPDAT.PUP
  2. Eject all media and switch off the Playstation completely.
  3. Unplug everything, then proceed to remove your HDD (Instructions in the manual).
  4. Remove the original HDD from its casing and replace it with your spare.
  5. Place spare into the PS3 and plug it all back in. 
  6. Connect your USB with the update into the PS3.
  7. Turn it on, format your Spare and install the update.
  8. After that is complete your PS3 will boot normally.
  9. Power off the Playstation, unplug it, and then remove the spare.
  10. Take your Original PS3 HDD and place it back in.
  11. It will boot up normally as the PS3 update had been successfully installed using the spare.
  12. For safe measure, reinstall the update by selecting system update from the XMB and update from your USB again.
It should all be working normally and with your data intact.

UPDATE: Some DLC may have to be reinstalled (this was the case with me).
