I was talking about the game, dallying in the world and following characters about was the best part of the gameplay for me. Even if 4 has some areas for improvement with combat and building up the antagonists/secondary characters in the main plot. I also liked you can interact with all shops now and I enjoyed the new system how you level up moves in sparring.
I am okay with that. I just don't feel like i want to play the game. Watching someone else is perhaps the way to go.....sounds very strange and not gamey at all!
Thank you for your input. Everything you say was kind of okay and am okay with. Of course because i have been waiting this long for a sequel. It's just like, do you know the feeling that something just doesn't fit, is out of order and you look around and you can't put your finger on it? As time goes on that lingering thought is now throbbing in your head and you are starting annoy yourself? For me as time went on i started to really not enjoy myself.
Lol i was talking about watching someone else play the game instead of myself.
Funnily enough Shenmue 1 and 3 aren't very "gamey" so much messing about, but that's part of the appeal to me. 2 probably is the most gamey and like a blockbuster.
Honestly I went in with low expectations because of kickstarter and because the legacy of Shenmue 2, about 20 years ago. It was never going to live up to to that, but I got a charming and amusing game and hope they can wrap up the saga with 4.
For all the flaws, I love that they got some of the details right, like a bad ending and the tomato store music playing as you walk in a store.
I think it's because Shenmue 3 focuses on the relationship with Shenhua, more than the greater story and they make you go back to the house, to catch up with Shenhua, instead of just skipping. Shenhua also keeps putting the banana out lol, in weird Shenmue charm.
Yeah that's why I'm ok with 3 not being the conclusion, you just met Shenhua and needed to cement their bond. 4 I think should wrap it up though. They'll just have to make Lan Di's climax more of an emotional one.

I can see what he was trying to do, focus on Shenhua's relationship and keep the stakes low. However I think the antagonists should have been more developed.
Yeah I didn't see this as a problem I sold a few things and was good to continue almost immediately.
I think you're meant to feel like you're living in that world and must provide for yourself. Shenmue series isn't a straight forward A to B action adventure, the first game showed how small time Ryo and really struggles to get any kind of leads, constantly swindled and knocked down by small time crooks, and eventually becoming a forklift driver, hoping he'll find something out from people on the docks. Shenmue 3 still has this realistic feeling of really struggling to get into places.
Maybe they have Capcom or SE level expectations but singling the game out like that, yikes.*gulp*

Yeah, I'm starting to lose hope there's gonna be a sequel.*`< :|
If Yu has to go back to Kickstarter to get the funding then he's going to need to show a lot. In hindsight the E3 announcement from 2014 was pretty lackluster. This time he's going to come out guns blazing if he has any hope of getting people's attention again.
Yeah this for sure. Got out of the cave after 18 years, with borderline unrealistic expectations. Even if I hoped for more I had a good extended experience with Shenmue III. Hope they still put the game on Steam and that it may gain some legs there.
I personally think another Kickstarter is a nonstarter at this point. Too many folks were burned by the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter. There's also gonna be way less hype for a sequel to a fairly new game compared to the hype we had for a sequel to an 18-year-old game. I'm not exactly sure what Ys Net could produce that would blow anyone away. It's not like they're going to stumble upon an even bigger pot of money to develop Shenmue IV, especially if this new forecast is anywhere close to the truth. I'd expect Shenmue IV to look and play a lot like Shenmue III if it ever does come out.
Another kickstarter is a last ditch effort when Suzuki realizes that he can't get Shenmue IV made any other way. And for the reasons you state, that's why he would need to come out swinging.
