Stamina system is only really annoying when I have to second guess when I need to heal in case a battle is coming up. Otherwise it gets less and less relevant as you train more, at this point in time I can jog around without a care in the world.
The PS4 version doesn't support it as far as I can see. It'd be nice, though, particularly at night.Anyone have any thoughts on HDR in this game? It seems to support it, but might not be built for it judging by how the intro area looks?
I've played part of 1 and none of 2. I bought this game on sale. Is the little recap video in 3 good enough to dive in without going back to the others? I already own them but at the rate I play I'll never get to 3.

I didn't make that mistake, but I didn't realize until over half way though the game that there was more than 1 page of herbs to sell and the subsequent pages pay more. The most you can make on the first page is 50 (?) Yuan for one of the herb sets, but the later pages the sets go up to 600. You need to use L & R triggers to switch pages.Did anyone else do the same thing I just did? Didn't catch on that I had to tab over to bottles on the herb screen when it comes to selling, left it for a few (in game days) but was still picking up herbs all the time. Finally realized what I was doing wrong and just made 700+yuan selling a bunch in one go.
There is no HDR support on any platform.Anyone have any thoughts on HDR in this game? It seems to support it, but might not be built for it judging by how the intro area looks?
Yeah, this has been the most annoying part of the stamina system. Not a huge deal though.
I do wish I could pay for a meal, instead of just eating vegetables.
My thoughts after finishing Shenmue III (on PS4 with Japanese voice/English subs):
- I'm impressed with how much they nailed the Shenmue atmosphere and feel. It's kind of surreal at times. This was so important to do right.
- I'm guessing they feared the game would be too short so they added unnecessary padding. Having some tedious work elements is part of the Shenmue experience but this game takes it too far; the fighting levelling system brings down the pacing.
- The new music is great but not quite as catchy or memorable as previous tunes.
- Maybe it's because I fear the series being cancelled but I wish this game furthered the story more than it did.
- Overall as a huge Shenmue fan, I'm satisfied with game and it's a miracle it exists and turned out as well as it did. It's my least favourite of the three Shenmue game because of padding issues and not being quite as memorable, though.
Nothing imports from the HD Collection. You start with a few items from the past games in your inventory but they are the same regardless of whether or not you've played previous ones.Does the game uses the save from the HD collection if you played it? Might be a game changer to redo both games to me.
Ok thanks, I'll stick to the DC version then.Nothing imports from the HD Collection. You start with a few items from the past games in your inventory but they are the same regardless of whether or not you've played previous ones.
Do we know what the DLC packs will be outside of the casino? I love the game but kind of rather wait to get everything on Steam together next year.
Wait, you can find cats in this game?!
I'll do it, just to shut them up. The constant meows in Niaowu is driving me nuts.
Thank you!! This is the only other post ive seen about this issue. I was like saying the password outloud and it really threw me for a loop when the changed the wording for the last one. Its such a minor thing but it really took me out.Chobu is a sight to behold. Took me 3 days to finally get a lead as to how to progress the game (probably should have spent less time looking around!)
I've been grabbing random bits for the collections as well to get more skill scrolls which has been fun, as has the hidden collectible hunt (one of the best implemented in a game I've played). That and they waste no time introducing fighting arena's which also pleases me.
Managed to score several lucky hit prizes for scrolls, the yellow digger thing was a pain to win but I managed it in the end!
Oh, I have one huge issue with the English translation (and by extension the English voice dub) - anyone tried calling a certain friend in Japan? You know one that might require a certain password to speak to? The English translation fucked up and changed the wording on the password. Which I find a huge mistake that should really have been caught (weird as the game is great on acknowledging the two past games). Japanese voice track has Ryo saying the same password as he did in Shenmue 1, so I'm curious - which game screwed up the translation - 1 or 3? (I'm leaning toward 3).
Anyway, game is still a blast to play, incredibly relaxing and I'm loving the new area especially with a reason to investigate each shop you come across, I can see it taking me something like an in game month to fully make it through this place just so I can collect as much as possible!
I was also saying it out loud while reading the subs, and got very confused very quick! That said, the actual phone conversations are excellent. Its another nice little nod to the past games (when translated properly!)Thank you!! This is the only other post ive seen about this issue.

Infinite phone card - for those international calls. And its well worth using it. There's also some other items you get, but the phone card is the main thing I wanted (because now I can spend all my free money on capsule toys)What do we even get from redeeming the backer code anyway? I haven't even tried lol
I noticed they used Vancouver's real area code for the Nozomi conversation.I was kinda taken aback by how detailed some of the phone calls have been with reciting obscure characters from Shenmue 1 when talking to some of them.
I would just play 2 first without the English Dub, 3 has its charms but isn't half the game 2 is.I've played part of 1 and none of 2. I bought this game on sale.

Really? He sounded close to what I remember, only his Japanese was better since moving back to America lol. I quite like Ine-san's new Japanese VA as well (I assume they are all using new ones - especially Guizhang - since his Japanese VA is Solid Snake himself who probably isn't cheap, and has been busy working with Sega on Yakuza 7 currently!)the phone calls are neat. They even show vids in case you don't remember their names. I didn't compare old VA to new but Tom (JP) is kinda off. Must be a new VA.
oh i didn't know the original was snake. Pretty cool. I can usually spot him but not this time. Replayed the game just a few weeks ago.Really?

If you are talking about the issue (on PC) where your backer code only unlocks the rewards for your tier, instead of for your tier and all the tier rewards below that, then a load of us on the Shenmue Dojo sent in details of the issue near release and they replied asking for more information (version number, backer code, tier etc). Early last week we received a reply saying that they are working on a fix. Hopefully we will hear something from them soon.I still can't redeem my in-game backer code (PC version). Is there any news whatsoever? I have tried contacting them through KS, direct email, through Deep Silver, Fangamer, etc, and have gotten no help.
I was enjoying myself last night, focusing on sparring and had just maxed out the one-inch punch and my PS4 Pro randomly shut off and had to be unplugged and plugged back in. No auto save, either. :( I hope my PS4 isn't messed up. We're at the point where buying another PS4 with the PS5 around the corner seems really wasteful. Don't wanna go a year without playing this game.
