Shenmue II by Puri_Puri in

[@yhubtfufvcfyfc]

8 years ago I watched this incredible speedrun and felt that I wanted to experience this amazing world. Today I finished Shenmue II and am taking it full circle by watching the run again. While the games showed their age and the PC port was unstable it was a great experience and I'm so thankful for the runner showing me this game.

"shenhua" "yes?" "a-" "yes" this lived rent free in my head for over 8 years lol

[@mysteriousdbzgt]

Great run. It’s nice that both Shenmue 1 and 2 have been run at GDQ now, can’t wait for today’s Shenmue 1 run to be uploaded 😊

[@shadowslashful]

I felt so bad for the dude. There was like 15 people there and 4 of them HAD to be there. Must've been SUPER awk for this guy I also love this man's humor

[@dballls]

ThatAsianGuy all these videos are VODs/originally streamed, so there’s always more than just a physical audience

[@kevindemorais8044]

Yup, felt that too, but he was so awrsome during his run, explaining stuff and being fun

[@SupraRy]

Well there was a few hundred thousand watching online, so he definitely wasn't alone

[@gurriato]

Great couch, really added to the experience.

[@Salbow_]

I have been watching GDQ events for over 10 years now, and this is still one of my favourite runs to rewatch. When I watched it live I was entranced, and I still am all these years later.

[@steveskipper6473]

Found this the most chilled and relaxing run of the event.

[@SwitcherooU]

This was an extraordinarily dope and chill run.

[@Angel-777-i3k]

i love this game great to see people Still playing it. Lets go shenmue 4

[@PhoenixSplash]

Nice speed run. I'm currently working on the world record for 100% of Shenmue 2. I got Space Harrier, Outrun, and Hang on down. All I need is Afterburner...and yes I'm including all of the capsule toys.

[@typoko]

From all of the runs i found this the best. I'm not really keen on the game in general but the glitches are interesting and really good explanations.

[@Revilex100]

+typoko dude kinda grew on me after a while, he seemed pretty passionate about the game

[@W4iteFlame]

Now I understand all the disappointment about 3rd game...

[@TimothyPage06]

I'd love for this to some out on PC. Such a fascinating and beautiful game. I saw some of my friends playing the first one and it just looked.. like something really special.

[@HDReMaster]

+TimothyPage06 Shenmue III will be on PC and PS4

[@fahntuh1399]

Your wish has been granted

[@RobotWillie]

Yuanda Zhu and Zhu Yuanda, the reason for this is in China they say the first name first like we do which is where the second takes place. The first one takes place in Japan where its common practice to call someone by their last name more often.

[@HDReMaster]

Watching a character hit a tree has never been as epic!

[@sushiSlayr]

Shenmue I and II have been announced for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. I think we all know what to do from there.

[@OneTrueBelmont]

Strangely having the poor voice acting works for this game. Like I'm watching a badly dubbed move from Hong Kong.

[@ori.g4mi]

It's part of the magic, believe me.

[@Relugus]

In prefer the Japanese voice acting.

[@Skyfox94]

And they kept it for Shenmue 3 aswell - it works so well. It's kind of silly but i couldn't imagine this game any other way.

[@TheCybernatoruk]

I applaud you for beating the game so quick. It usually takes me 10-15 to beat the game. However, what I will say is this game isn't really designed to be played as a speedrun. It really is an experience that shouldn't be rushed. However, well played sir.

1:02:09 Daisaku Kuze before his Dojima lieutenant days

[@D0nTCry-95]

Amazing

[@NEWGREATNESS]

This is by far one of my favorite games. The story is so in depth. I wish we had more games like this still instead of silly competitive games taking over the gaming industry now but oh well life goes on. #MartialArtsFTW

[@Mrdeanop2]

Well your dream has come true!

[@GeniePyro]

Favorite game growing up

[@stevendavies1003]

38:10 - 38:40 😂 loving the commentary :)

[@ryanamberger]

"We only have enough money for a capsule toy and not much else"...yea life as a college student pretty much. lol it hurts.

[@sethorren]

completely amazing

[@telekiller7]

watched the whole thing, still dont understand what kind of game this is (besides the best duck racer ever)

[@fbmfan]

+telekiller7 Words cannot describe, try it yourself to experience the EPICNESS.

[@TheGaara802]

Dreamcast

[@a1.70]

''have anything to put in?''

[@derekturnbull1474]

Paused video to comment because Hugo's House of Horrors was mentioned. I haven't heard that name in 15 years.

[@dragonsoulabsorber]

Quack-Quack (I'm gonna kick some ass!)

[@bigdripbeats]

need shenmue 3

[@MilesCooperUK]

I support the current thing

[@Caboose7410]

I counted 48 yes's :)

[@Optimator7]

Tragic this series dies

[@ps4shotsgaming528]

"let me take your photo"

[@free_g4mer86]

Shenmue 2... I used play on my Dreamcast but when i finish the game i ask me to my self: What happen now?

[@XxEp1cModderzxX]

Octavio Fernández shenmue 3 will answer all questions

[@ginjajake2102]

can the xbox 360 play original xbox games?

[@jimmymullen6253]

Some. It does it via emulation, so the quality of the games varies from game to game. Some have horrible framerate issues, and some work almost perfectly. Some are not compatible.

[@theak56]

Yes. I think I counted 41.

[@RandomlyDrumming]

1:31:28 ... I know :D

[@TheMeanAdmin]

Liked for the duck race >_

[@therocks1682]

this grafics for a 1999 game!

[@modirufa6317]

yes

[@justkiki2290]

bruh I should've done this!

[@Sudbinushka]

Shenmue 3 was before half-life 3 mainstream)))

[@guizhangchen1999]

The jokes and tricks were good, but no one was there to laugh or clap :(

[@JamBear]

That is an extremely empty conference centre

[@thearmoredfatboy]

+Foxclass Most likely they put Shemnue for an early morning schedual so no one awake in the US. (Not sure if you knew).

[@JamBear]

thearmoredfatboy Ahhh, gotcha

[@danmaia455]

Should play in jp

[@chrisgroff8050]

I call shenangins, Puri_Puri! You only lied because you would have had to end the game and slink out with egg on your face and GDQ would ban you from future runs if you hadn't had that illegit save. Take the walk of shame, you backstabber. :p But to be fair, it's almost impossible to speed run the Shenmue series because they are the worst games ever, no fault on the designers as they didn't expect people to speed run this and didn't make it speed-run friendly.

[@chrisgroff8050]

I apologize for the outburst. I know you had a dead run so you had to do something to make up for it. I am so glad I decided never to play Shenmue - the story is nice but the gameplay is too slow.
