The voice acting isn't bad, the writing is bad. That is the consistent here. Good voice acting can't make bad writing good. Yu Suzuki is terrible at writing stories, any critical analysis of his previous projects shows this. It's either stuff without any deep plot (Virtua Fighters, Soul Caliber), or Shenmue.

[@Msf1011]

@@demetriusturner7715 Just because Resident Evil had dogshit voice acting back in the 90's doesn't mean they carry that over for an aUtHeNtIc FeEl. Capcom, like many other developers, actually tried to move their franchises forward in the modern era, and the RE2 remake shows this amazing result more than ever (hopefully 3 as well). Shenmue 3 is an upscaled dreamcast game. ZERO effort was made to make this the definitive entry to the series not only in the ways of story, but also gameplay. They didn't take ANY advantage of 2019 technology to make this the series' best entry yet.

[@Jacob-lv6zy]

Yeah, I think that is THE part where it becomes obvious that the developer fundementally dont understand video game storytelling and humour. If this had been a movie. That part could have been funny, since the tedious part is at the expense at the protagonist. He want to learn a move desperately and he constantly is denied, which is kinda funny. In a videogame on the other hand, the joke becomes at the expense of the PLAYER, because as a player we are essentially an extension of the protagonist and that joke is NOT funny, just annoying. The developer even admits he dont play videogames and christ does that part convey that completely.

Well there aren’t large enough time skips for Ryo to actually cover any kind of experience gap in all reality. Ryo would never be able to go from half ass training to beating a guy that is portrayed on a “grandmaster” level. Then again the game isn’t very consistent about Ryo getting better and it seems he more or less is supposed to scrape by using specific techniques in canon no matter how badly your curb stomp a boss in the game mechanics. So even if you make Ryo a beast in the game, in the canon story I believe he’s always barely scraped by and only won a lot of fights out of purely having a technique to counter the person he is fighting, and not because he has become a better overall fighter. I mean he’s constantly losing and only wins after getting a specific move. I feel like Ryo is at the same level he was at in Hong Kong when he fights in cutscenes. He doesn’t seem to have gotten any better and still needs specific moves to beat guys he should be able to dodge and just beat the shit out of like that muscle guy from fist of the North Star in Bailu village. What in the fuck bro, you can beat that giant from Kowloon walled city but not this guy? Are you kidding me. Guy swings his arms around like a retard and Ryo goes down like he never even went to Hong Kong and got off the boat from Japan in Bailu. I don’t think Ryo is going to beat Lan Di. I mean it’s not even feasible in the story anymore. Ryo isn’t talented enough in canon to ever catch up to Lan Di Becoming 10th Duan is simply gameplay shit because it holds absolutely no weight in canon fights where Ryo loses all the time. The old grandmaster handled Ryo on that boat when they sparred and then told Ryo he was trash. So in this game old guys can be strong. Well Lan Di beat the shit out of Ryo pops. Ryo never beat a high level martial artist in canon like Lan Di stomped Ryo dad. Every time Ryo faces one he is utterly embarrassed
