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
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.
>why is shenmue so underrated?
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.
>What's better shenmue or mizzurna Falls?
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?
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
it's not. no matter how many youtubers made a video about it, normal people would never play such game
"Normal people" don't play most retro games anyway. What point were you trying to make?

What would you know about normal people? No offence.
>normal people would never play such game
so it's underrated you say?
>normal people
As an longterm japangay I can't talk about Shenmue with suburban domestic wh*toids
it's like nails on chalkboard, chewing aluminum foil to me.
Forgot to post my picture
i'm sorry you never left the town you were born in
>loser flees his home country
>still a loser in japan
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.
Shitmue was never good
Jeff Gerstmann complained about it for so many years that his toolbag giantbomb audienc shilled the hate for it too.
>underrated
it was sold as a unique experience "real-life sim"
critics and sega fanboys loved it
dude this game fricking sucked
I can't believe I bought this shit when it came out, seaman was more interesting than this trash
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.
frick you wolfenstein is still great
>wolfenstein is still great
Yeah, the first episode. It gets pretty damn boring after that.
Terrible taste

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.

It isn't. It's always been the poor man's Yakuza.
Dreamcast flopped.
I need to finish it sometime soon. Lost my file right before disc 2 and didn't want to start over.
underrated?

good atmosphere doesn't salvage shit gameplay
It's the real Yakuza 0.
