Let's see how many users that had knee jerk reactions to this false embargo allegation will apologize for eagerly throwing Yu Suzuki & co. under the bus.
If I'm not mistaken haven't the last two high profile games of the month, Death Stranding and Star Wars, had day one review embargos? Why are we choosing to pick on this game?
It's Shenmue, so that's not possible.Death Stranding's review was launch day?! Man, you missed one hell of a thread. It was a full week before release, with code being out there for around 3 weeks before that.
Or.... The initial email stated the later date and they reviewed it & changed it?
It's Shenmue, so that's not possible.
Side note: Does that happen?
Wait, made up what? The 21st embargo thing was real but changed back to the 19th.So the guy was spreading lies and people tried to jump on it and make it a big deal?
Im not even surprised at this point. Bring on the next phony story. Gotta get those clicks, likes and attention. We can all then create another pretend drama for the sake of it.
Tbf i have heard vg247 have done this before.
This thread should be closed. What a joke this entire situation is
I got it digitally because my copy's running late, and I went from binging Shenmue II (what an epic game) straight into III, and it doesn't miss a beat...the game is awesome.Got my copy. The slipcase is lame as hell. Doesn't even have anything on the spine. The disappointment has already started and I'm gonna absorb every last drop of it.
Hopefully not but you know, low expectations lol
Ooo Interesting. Is it because of backlash or just a change in stance?Changing of embargoes? I've seen it before. There's sometimes a degree of flexibility on what can be talked about etc
I've got no idea, we didn't request a copy as we didn't have anyone available to get a timely review done, so I've missed most of the discourseOoo Interesting. Is it because of backlash or just a change in stance?
they wont be in here any thing positive about shenmue, they will be silent they only come and comment when something negative about shenmuee, shenmue haters are like a plagueLet's see how many users that had knee jerk reactions to this false embargo allegation will apologize for eagerly throwing Yu Suzuki & co. under the bus.
Ok. Thanks for the insight.I've got no idea, we didn't request a copy as we didn't have anyone available to get a timely review done, so I've missed most of the discourse
VG247 - Shenmue 3 review in progress

It's a bit worrying that this author here doesn't realise that Shenmue III isn't the final game in the series, and will probably hold it against it when it comes to the final review because of their own expectations.
It currently has an average score prediction of 75 on Opencritic.God knows what score this is going to end up with on Metacritic. I think impressions will ultimately run the gamut and be all over the place. I probably shouldn't care at all and just be grateful that Shenmue III exists and I'm playing it, but I can't help myself. I want it to review well.
