Considering most people were sure it'd be a total disaster, I honestly consider it being a 7:10 a small victory.
I find Shenmue 3 is the total underdog game. It's the opposite of Death Stranding to me.
It's 70 now on metacritic, hardly a score to be ashamed of and a sigh of relief thinking it might be another Mighty Number 9. There some shit posting in the previews' comments people saying people will realise Shenmue was never good, but 3 definitely has enough good fun activities and adorable details in its world, to remind people why they liked the series.
Yeah it's very subjective if Ryo is being a robot is part of the fun or makes it an embarrassing disaster.
He recently mentioned possibly revisiting his old franchises that aren't Shenmue. I at least hope he gets a crack at leading another big project for Sega, whether it's a new Virtua Fighter or Afterburner. We need that so badly. I think a Suzuki-helmed VF would be an absolutely epic return for the VF franchise.
please give us impressions while u play, or join the OT for the remasters
Keep in mind there is no time skip in part 1. Now if you make it to Shenmue 2 prepare to fall in love
Mixed ?
Yeah, not true. She's been extremely dismissive of Shenmue III in the past, saying it's going to be a train wreck on Podquisition, so I'm not surprised by this review at all.
It's a well-written thing, I just dislike the overall premise that it should've been innovative or what's the point? I think from the fan reaction they clearly made the right choice, but not everyone's gunna like it, and that's fine. Not all games need to please everyone.
Agreed. She also dismisses stuff that is essentially the very nature of the adventure genre, things that are in common with other games in the genre, as if it's a problem that this game actually has. Like talking to people to find things out to progress the story. Like point and click adventure games do? Is that genre suddenly a problem because Yu Suzuki decided to make a Shenmue sequel in the adventure genre? I mean, do we go about saying that visual novels aren't passable as games because you read stuff and make choices? It's not a fair or well evaluated review given its genre.
Reviews matter for this game just like they matter for any other game.
Yes but it's not as good as Shenmue 2. I haven't finished it yet though. 3 has a wonderful world that makes it worth it but I think Shenmue 2 is a more inviting game and you more often feel like you're making progress.
I know the way I put it is corny but I love entertainment that can create a sense of place with weird characters. Some games like Majora's Mask, Fallout New Vegas and Monkey Islands I love to return to every so often
Nowhere near the trainwreck some people were hoping
