[@DioHard]

@@JoeDorian1992 it's in your hands to be happy again, the world has shaped us down, it's up to us to find that fearless and worryless joyful inner child we lost along the way. We *get* to experience shenmue now, I wasn't allowed nor could we afford consoles in the 90s, I missed out on all of those great games. And I missed out on so much good music. I remember in the 90s where I could afford maybe 1 album each month and a game each birthday or xmas. Now I have basically free access to most of gaming, music, tv and movie history, while enjoying living in a world that is more healthy and more open than the 90s. I am a nostalgic being and love the 90s (and 80s and 70s) but hey, we are living in the days of future nostalgia RIGHT NOW! Embrace it and blessings to you

Incredible soundtrack, still my favourite Videogame soundtrack of all time. This particular track has a soothing, effortlessly restrained, 80's vibe. Love the layering of the composition, simple yet brilliant

[@eliotisconfusedaboutyourpa8105]

I know how you feel. I have the same thing with the Oot soundtrack

[@manedwolfmusic]

Nowadays they don't hire so often people that can compose songs like that (mostly indie games do, but not triple-A). They prefer hiring people that will bring some good attention even before the release (like movie composers and such). I was hired once to compose for a game, and I really loved doing it. I followed this classic game's style, and the whole team loved the tracks, but unfortunately, the game was canceled. It was a small indie game (I still have the soundtracks). I personally love old game music and I think soundtracks like this are a lot more remarkable than those ambient movie-like soundtracks ( I'm talking about those non-musical pieces of soundtrack that are so common nowadays to set the environment).

[@mikenash6124]

@@manedwolfmusic wow, so interesting. Could you upload them on KZbin? I'm very keen on your masterpiece.

[@ClockedIt]

The one thing these songs remind me of, is that Shenmue was a game that was never meant to be rushed through by the player. Yu wanted you to soak in the day to day of the world, embrace, view, interact and observe every little moment of this wonderful universe, almost getting you to live in it. These tracks helped 100% with that. It's easy to look at games today and see people rushing through them, eager to move onto the next big game. I miss the days when true massive AAA experiences were more rare and when they arrived, you lived and breathed them. Amazing tracks, thanks for the uploads.

[@jerrysmith8814]

Well said. Shenmue is one of the greatest gaming experiences I've had

[@WarriorBoy]

Very good write-up. Shenmue is very much about patience and the journey. I've heard not-so-good things about 3 and I wish that wasn't the case. The modern gaming paradigm of microtransactions and nickel-and-diming practices really doesn't line up with what Yu Suzuki was trying to do.

[@DioHard]

It is satisfying how even I as someone who has first played it in 2023 (and viewing play throughs in 2018) can enjoy the world so much. Yes, it is aged and obviously has limitations, but these are part of what make it so beautiful. It is very obviously a game and doesn't hide it, while still having so much heart, even in the english dub. I can hear all the negative things people could point out about it, but I choose to embrace these flaws as part of the time capsule and also the fact that games that don't look like games but real life don't do it for me.

[@jc4446]

Great way to convey how most of us felt with these games in 2000 , slow , truly immersing yourself in the world , getting lost in the world … I remember playing this from Christmas Day of 2000 into the the next couple of weeks man what a journey . Compared to todays stuff it doesn’t stand a chance everyone once to stream and click and not stop and experience it anymore , that’s why these games will always be the best

My husband had the Dreamcast when Shenmue came out. That's when we met 2000 . 23 years together, my other favorite is Nightfall. All in all I have had fun, my Arcade games have begun all over again. In my home city they have the Rubix Arcade Bar. Need to go

[@RichardMendoza-hr3bn]

This song also reminds me of the late 90s it was a good time to just be able to relax and not worry about the world we have now and watching the sunsets listen to this music in game, always give me a nostalgia for that kind of Japan that I know doesn’t exist, maybe, in some small towns, cities but thank you for putting this music up. It reminds me of the great times when my parents were still alive.

[@DioHard]

While I of course understand your overall sentiment, I highly encourage people to not fool themselves into thinking the world is worse off now than back then. The actual truth is that the world has only gotten "better" over time. Yes there are bad periods in any time. Like people we love dying, covid and war. Rest in peace to your parents, I am proud of you for still being here! The biases we have are that our minds/brains were still in development back then, and we didn't have so many channels and social media to keep getting bombarded with what is happening everywhere in the world. I hope you may find some peace in the thought that we are better off now than any humans before us, even those of us that are still suffering (which is most of us), the times are about to get even better and fair. There is tons of positive news and science and music content out there if you are open to it

I played this game in 2019. The only thing I knew about it up until then was the cover art from a game magazine my dad had when I was a kid. For some reason I still get a feeling of nostalgia. Like I’ve heard the music. Like I’ve known these characters for as long as you longtime fans. These games truly are unique and special. I’m so glad they put them on modern consoles so new fans like myself could enjoy them. I’m glad y’all finally got your trilogy. As a kingdom hearts fan I can tell you I know what that wait for the 3rd game is like lol.

It's been a long week and I'm just happy to be relaxing and spending time by myself you know? I needed to test if the speakers work in my new monitor and this track was on my youtube home page recommendations> Damn I have certain feelings for this sound haha I used to love making Ryo run through the pigeons by the Convenience store in the harbour and making them scatter. I love how you can almost feel the slight chill in the air and the feeling that it *might* just rain, but not quite. I love having a real feeling of exploration and not just told "Go here". I try to find that in my life as well you know? Life is often predictable, but not always. Keep a sense of curiosity, walk somewhere just for the sake of walking and enjoy ✌
