[@MrHenrikAndersson]

Even though this really isn't my type of game, I'm really glad for the fans of the series that they get a continuation.

[@MagiofAsura]

It's not the continuation we deserve nor, for some, paid for. Suzuki had a real chance to make shenmue reborn in the modern day and he blew it. If he did it right, he could have been set for the next 2 or 3 games (he planned on it being 16 parts. Part 1 was shenmue 1, part 2 was a manga, part 3-6 was shenmue 2, no word on how many parts 3 took up) There is a reason shenmue has 3 games in 20 years and yakuza has seven mainline entries, one spin off game (judgement), two full on modern remakes of the PS2 games (kiwami) and two side games in 14 years. Mainly because yakuza is actually well written with great stories and characters with each chapter being primarily self contained (but highly advised you play in sequence). Then it's also fun too.

[@MrHenrikAndersson]

@@MagiofAsura Yea, I've heard a few others who also were disappointed. I'm surprised to hear it was such an ambitious project. I do own a few of the Yakuza games, but so far my backlog of games have hindered me from getting to play them.

[@matabishippuden6965]

@@MagiofAsura Almost everything you said is wrong. First off he has not said anything about it being 16 parts or if he did it was a joke because he said it's a secret how many parts there will be (another case of someone on the internet taking things way too literally.) Also fans of the series were not disappointed in fact they were pleased and do you want to know why? Yu Suzuki has 9 MILLION DOLLARS to make a game bigger than the first two which had a budget of 45 million and to make it suitable for modern software. Shenmue fans are smart enough to realise this is the best it physically could've been even if you made Yoko taro and sakaguchi team up on this they probably wouldn't know how they could make it better with that minimal budget. And the true reason why Yakuza had thrived whilst shenmue hasn't is because shenmue was originally released for the DREAMCAST one of the worst selling consoles of all time meaning not as many people played it as they did with Yakuza kiwami (forgot which console that originated from) and because Yakuza kiwami was on a way more popular console meaning a lot more people played it sega figured they should invest in that and in all honesty it was a very good decision because a lot of people love Yakuza . However there's another reason why shenmue hasn't been continued in this long . *SONIC*. I could build a nation with the time and money sega used to make a good 3d sonic game.

[@firecrackerjack68]

@@MagiofAsura As a Yakuza fan, this was well said. Also another flaw I found in Shenmue is that, it takes itself way too seriously, compared to Yakuza where everything's balanced from the well written main story, an over the top yet fun combat system, and the hilarious sub-stories. Also, Yakuza did not need 16 chapters to unfold Kiryu's whole story.

[@mdeeess3863]

@Char Aznable Doesn't need to be as over the top as Yakuza but just more dynamic and for movement to be less stiff. Blocking feels kinda redundant in my opinion, a parry/deflect mechanic (Sekiro for example) would have been nice where if you time it correctly, you can create openings to attack and the block meter doesn't go down. (Yes theres the slow motion dodge but only on low health) I honestly don't enjoy fighting in this game ESPECIALLY when fighting multiple opponents. I am happy the game has been made but the aspect I wanted to enjoy the most is what I like the least.

This is probably the most honest and best review I've seen to date. Soo many other reviewers are like this game is rubbish, voice acting is terrible, graphics are 20 years old and gameplay mechanics suck! Whereas Shenmue fans are like yeah, so? This is like a nostalgia trip to the max and is like a HD remaster of the game we SHOULD have got nearly 20 years ago, dated mechanics, voice acting and all. Most people that hate it, was never a fan of it to begin with and always did hate it (probably would hate the first 2 aswell). Or never played the others during its Golden Age and as such why are they even playing the third anyway? This game isn't for newcomers, it's for the fans, always was.

Look, it's a love letter to the fans. The game is for the fans. It was made for the fans, the fans are happy with it and how they kept the style, the stiffness and the voice acting, the chill music and the weather and time system the creator of shenmue said when he came out in 2015s e3 "let's make shenmue 3 for the older fans" the fact that it looks like this now is actually breathtaking compared to what it would have looked when he delayed it in 2017. The fans got exactly what they wanted and if this was looking like death strandiing or the last of us 2 the fans would not be happy. it's a fans love letter and the reviews are good enogh so far for the planned 4th and 5th game that was supposed to be getting made in 2003. End of discussion. We got what we wanted and it's a very long well thought out game, i would rather play this 100x over a very short game with amazing graphics.

Considering the limited amount of funding it received, the game is simply amazing. It needed a much larger budget in order to smooth out all the rough edges and be more graphically impressive.

So not only did I finally get to play the continuation of the Shenmue saga almost 20 years later but I can also play the the game that revolutionised open worlds imho updated on my PS5.

Rough around the edges, yady yady yada... The End

[@ooze1982]

You "yada yada yada" the best part 😛

[@dinglberry3320]

Ehh its an okay game. Would've been better received if it was made 15 years ago at least.

[@mannysilva8977]

I waited so long for this game to come out.

[@michaelallen714]

[@leogeo8149]

whens onimusha trilogy remaster ?!

[@whatever9274]

why did he praise mankind divided as a great sequel like god of war? wasnt that game really bad since it has too many microtransactions or something? and went on deep sale after just a few months or something?

[@Johnnygrafx]

It reviewed well and fans liked it. It just didn't sell very well.

[@ro.oppong1914]

"if you like a more modern aproach you are better of playing god of war or deus ex" :D sure there arent games that fit the bill more? like yakuza

[@Johnnygrafx]

God of war and deus ex are good examples of old franchises that have been modernized. That's the point.

[@MCcreedLP]

Well... Is the story finished?

[@Johnnygrafx]

Nope!

[@blaire4115]

Worthy continuation of the story? Are you serious? There is hardly any major plot developments in the whole game.

[@christopherboye5498]

Deux Ex: Mankind Divided barely felt like an improvement over Human Revolution, which already felt really archaic even back in 2011. And God of War 2018 is not a modernization/improvement of the older games, it's just very different from what it used to be.

[@eltheace3918]

Man this is the only game as an xbox owner, I'm really jealous of. I played one and two.... now I have to miss out on the 3rd..... sucky😰

[@imkow]
