I actually really like Shenmue 3, not only does it look beautiful, but I felt it remained very faithful to the original game. Now, I just need to see if reaching the cliffhanger ending ruins my view of the game somewhat...Lewis Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14780213240335170126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-70793158185791264432021-01-28T19:45:18.377+00:002021-01-28T19:45:18.377+00:00Thanks Tom and Simon -- Greatly appreciate the sup...Thanks Tom and Simon -- Greatly appreciate the support!<br /><br />But Simon, are you saying you didn't enjoy the clunky Chobu-chan Fighter or rotary Highway Star?<br /><br />And fair enough. Ryo's trips to the arcades in Niaowu and Bailu Village kind of remind me of that one scene in Vegas Vacation:<br /><br />https://youtu.be/8jt8OgNEUgkJet Brian Radio (@VirtuaSchlub)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10822526071943092178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-23655999678532523952021-01-28T19:33:18.542+00:002021-01-28T19:33:18.542+00:00Superbly written and extremely perceptive article!...Superbly written and extremely perceptive article! Like you Brian, I also set forth with gusto and then fell off. Thats more to do with my minute attention span than any flaw in the game, however. My ONLY criticism would be to say, I miss the video games! Surely, if old Sega games were off limits for the in game arcades, then Yu Suzuki could have knocked up a couple of clones or even parodies of his 16 bit days. Even a Master System quality driving game or a Space Harrier send up would have completed my expectations. I'd give it a 9/10 if I was scoring, but I was practically ecstatic when Ryu appeared in his fork lift in Sonic All Star Racing... fatherkrishnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523813350137435244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-13133721432957631422021-01-28T16:36:24.415+00:002021-01-28T16:36:24.415+00:00Beautifully written and hilarious in equal measure...Beautifully written and hilarious in equal measure - great stuff Brian! What I wouldn't give to discover that Ryo is indeed an android and his 'father' was actually his creator. Seriously though, I need to go back to Shenmue III and give it a proper play through. The backlog struggle is real...Tom Charnockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593308178739317252noreply@blogger.com
