      "Normal people" don't play most retro games anyway. What point were you trying to make?

        i don't know this is an anonymous forum so i just try to throw shit not said before on the wall and see what sticks. there's too much repetition in Ganker posts, probably gotten worse since moot left

    Shenmue is ten times more popular and well-known than any such piece of bad-but-interesting media would have any right to complain about.

    It's not made by Nintendo or Sony.

      Sadly, for an old videogame to remain relevant a new installment must be released every now and then.

    Shenmue is to Yakuza what Wolfenstein 3D is to Doom. It set the groundwork and is playable, but you shouldn’t outside of getting historical curiosity.

        Yeah, the first episode. It gets pretty damn boring after that.

      Shit analogy because yakuza as a series sucks dick compared to shenmue. All they did was pad out the games more with brain dead combat and make you read endless text. The incomplete story of shenmue is more compelling than any yakuza game.

        Cope and seethe. If Shenmue was so good, you wouldn’t have to angrily defend it against its superior, it would stand on its own merit.

    lol what? this is easily the most OVERrated game on the dreamcast. yeah, in 1999 it was a novel concept and people were much more eager to lose themselves in what felt like a living world at the time. back then the game felt much greater than the sum of its parts. playing it now though, its just shitty qtes and minigames. no one wants to play it anymore unless they have nostalgia for it.

        they're both shit, but at least Shitmue had voice acting (even it's atrocious) to make it sluggish to go through

        Shenmue, doesn't Mizzuna Falls go to shit at some point and isn't the "Japanese Twin Peaks" holy grail people hailed it as until it got translated to english?

    It isn't. It's always been the poor man's Yakuza.

    3 killed the series. They had a golden opportunity to to introduce shenmue to a new generation, and they blew it. I know shenmuedojo types say shenmue 3 is exactly like the others, but you had to pivot slightly when there was a fricking 20 year gap between games
