[@AveSicarius]

It can't be worse than the Kung Fu movie fans who believe that China has ancient Martial Art's masters living on mountains and secretly training their disciples in some oddly named Kung Fu style. Then they go there, get ripped off by a fake "grandmaster" and pay massively more money than it costs to actually live in China. Oh, and nothing they learn actually works but they continue to live in this fantasy land where they are the successor to a "deadly" martial art, deadly to them if they try to defend themselves with it anyway... The Shaolin Temple (spoiler alert, it's not the real Shaolin Temple nor are they real Shaolin Monks) makes an insane amount off of people who pay to go train there, usually much more money than a Chinese person would pay (because they would call it out as a rip off haha). When I lived in China and studied with a local martial artist, his master used host an event where they brought people from schools in the UK over for a "dimak" (literally death touch in cantonese which was made popular by Shaw Brothers movies haha, the Chinese word is 点穴 or diǎnxué, based in Chinese acupuncture, which is also just a little BS) course, they paid thousands of pound's overall (each was probably spending at least 2000), more than I paid to get to China, and probably more than I spent during my entire time living in the rural city I was working in (and I would definitely not pay that much to go on a holiday there). I spent some time with them, and they were all fully buying into what they were being fed, and believed it all to be true, meanwhile the teachers were blatantly ripping them off and making a massive amount of money compared to both local exchange rates and just the cost they spent to set everything up (Chinese culture allows this sort of behaviour because many assume that anyone not intelligent enough to notice the con deserves to be conned, hence the overwhelming number of cons in China). Seeing people act like they were straight out of a movie or anime makes me embarrassed to be from the same geographic region as them sometimes...

Exploring this authentic time capsule of 80's Japan is so cool.

It's great. I get how it could feel frustrating to have to fuck around town, talk to people, play darts and arcade games, whatever, when you JUST want to see the next part of the story - but that's part of what makes it so grounded, relatable and charming for me. It's like No More Heroes making you do part-time jobs inbetween the proper assassination missions, just to make Travis even more relatable as a nerdy-ass loser gamer who has to do stupid shit he doesn't like before he gets to focus on his interests. I don't want to make this sound like "this is REAL ART, you casuals don't get it!" because that's not it, it's just that I think relatability and those types of ups and downs are a valid form of game design and even if they're annoying at the moment, they just make you feel more for characters in the long run.

Shenmue captured what a 'realistic' revenge story would be like, and I appreciated it so much for this. It's not like you're some tough protagonist or 20 something year old. In the real world, we have to wait for things to happen or information to come to us. We have to get money somehow to travel to said location if we don't have a car, and the character being 17, brings this concept even closer to home since how would we really have to navigate in the world in order to enact revenge? It's honestly why I like the game a great deal in addition to how intimate the village feels like, and capturing the atmosphere of adolescence.

[@Pho7on]

@pachucodreams God-tier take. How awkward is it as a 17 year old to go on a quest for revenge when he knows nothing and does nothing. He just lost his dad and is thrust into this crazy world that is on the fringes of the real, boring one. Personally, I never had enough time in the world, because I just emulated what I was doing in the real world: wasting time playing games when I had important things to do, haha.

[@turbotrup96]

@Why is the Rum gone? those high quality games you speak of all suffer from little to no actual gameplay or challenging combat. We're talking about revolutionary, great titles, not games that were just really good from *certain* points of view. And even if we'd still classify them (and some others I could mention myself) as revolutional, it's just a few titles at the end of the day. In the time I've mentioned previously, devs created stuff which current games are based on pretty constantly. They defined whole genres, they didn't just have some fresh ideas. Now it's mostly just extending already existing ideas at best, with better controls. And that wouldn't be so bad if current devs didn't force tons of simplifications just to comfort lazy people and casuals.

Damaged Goods Ermm... I guess the lack of knack/bookworm adventures in the comment. Actually, that gives me an idea.

How do you get a paycheck from ordering drive thru

[@stevenquast2841]

Because you get sick, then sue the company. That way, you make a nice "paycheck" just by getting some drive thru

[@ilimitadouc]

?????

[@MrBoondock1]

@@Daubi1990.... It's the idea of driving up to a drive thru. Saying what you want. Boom you're done. Or switch around. You're the cashier. Customer talks. He pays. They leave. It's that easy... The effort to voice act for this game was like ordering food through drive thru. You get me? You took it too literal.

[@kebm1388]

I think the fact that most of the game play is going around and talking to people is one of the coolest aspects of this game. Someone killed your father, and all you have to go on is a description of the guy. It's actual dective work. You're not a police officer like inLA Noire interrogating people, and you're not Batman turning on detective mode and immediately finding the solutio, youre just going around and asking everybody what they know. I think it's awesome, and if only they had put in a "Wait" mechanic it'd be one of my favorite games.

[@demiliomason1565]

Except detectives do more than just ask random people a single question.

[@ken-yo2hz]

And how is that cool?

[@Romu1us89]

I'd just go to the arcade and play hang-on or darts. time flies beating that high score!

[@retrogamelord3763]

In shenmue 2 there is a wait mechanic

[@8pac37]

It's cool because often times you'll know exactly who to speak to, without the game having to tell you. Earlier on in the game you search for some chinese people to ask them if they know anything about your father's murderer since he was chinese. This doesn't really go anywhere. But now you know almost every chinese person in town. Later on you get a letter written in chinese. Now you know where to look for someone that can help you translate the letter. The game has a lot of instances like that, where you'll remember that someone might be able to help you that wasn't able to help you before.

[@K31R616]

Shenmue is my thing, man. A big part of my identity.

[@K31R616]

MetalCrow448 Oh, is that so? Do you care to explain how you have come to this opinion? The story, philosophy, and moral teachings explored in this game transcend the game itself and are applicable to many aspects of life, due to the fact that many of these principles have been gathered from the pre-existing wealth of worldly philosophy and knowledge. Which, by the way, I also consider to be a part of my identity.

[@AlexKidd]

@MetalCrow448 So no movie, piece of music, piece of art etc etc has effected you in anyway then? Maybe you are just too dumb to understand these types of things?

[@princeali7871]

@MetalCrow448 It is totally fine for you personally to not be effected by a video game that you played, but it isn't fine to tell someone who has been, that they're pathetic. What if your a novel writer trying to create stories and the story of Shenmue led to you having an amazing idea which led to the creation of a really popular book series, in that situation is it pathetic to have that game as part of your identity? What really shouldn't be happening is you telling other people barely know what should and what shouldn't be part of their identity.

I appreciate the hard work you do for those fantastic videos, I always get excited for every new video you make.

[@MrExnihlo]

One thing you have to keep in mind about many games of this era is that, unlike today, where gamers have easy access to huge amounts of Japanese and otaku culture related products, back then most anything from Japan seemed unique. In the late 90s/early 2000s I got into Japanese cinema through akira kurosawa movies and then became interested in Japan and Japanese culture. Playing a game where I got to see what a Japanese neighborhood looked like would have thrilled me. Now you can go on KZbin and see countless hours of video on everywhere and everything in Japan. Hell, I remember slogging through hours of boring grind in the ps1 final fantasies just to see 15 second cgi anime clips, cause unless you were a rich kid, you weren't going to see much anime.

[@demiliomason1565]

Okay, but that doesn't have anything to do with the video. I don't see what point you're trying to make here. Is because the game hs japanese themes that some how makes it better?

To this day shenmue is one of my favorite worlds in a game

[@ajhintleman215]

Wait this game is actually pretty sick graphic-wise for it's time...

[@Otome_chan311]

When it's 1998 and you're 10 years old this game is amazing af. You take care of cats, get the captchas, there's an entire functional arcade where you can pay using fake money. When you're about to continue the main quest of looking for sailors it rains. In terms of the amount of shit you can do I've never quite seen a game like shenmue. The rule of thumb for that game is: if you can think the average japanese person would do it, you can probably do it.

[@windexman2280]

Kafke the yakuza series is probably the only game I can think of that has more stuff to do
