best3444 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 If so, impressions? Is this your first time experiencing the game? I know it's just a small upgrade from 18 years ago so I can't imagine it aged well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I didn't think the game was great back then and we sold our copies long ago. Easy pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 OK, so i’ve Only played for about 40 minutes but it’s both worse and better than I remember it being. First, I honestly thought the controls would be worse, they are simply, simple. The graphics are indeed dated as hell, but at 4K it’s still gets the job done painting a little world to explore. The voice work is p, of course, laughably bad, as you would expect and frankly want it to be! This weekend, I will avenge my father, one forklift race at a time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre801 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Passing on it. Wasn't crazy about these games back in the day. Digital Foundry's video analysis is good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfit410 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 It was the first game I got when I got my hands on a dreamcast, after about 2 hours in I just could not force myself to play any further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today it's a laughable game. I just have fond memories of the series. I also imported the UK version of Shenmue II for the Dreamcast. Great times.

Joestradamus Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I loved Shenmue 1, never got a chance to play Shenmue 2. Will pick this up eventually though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I never got that far on the first game and the last time I was getting an infinite loading screen, which is apparently a sign of a failing Dreamcast drive. But I've got enough other things I could be playing instead, so I'll probably wait for a good sale on Steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxick Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 It was a day 1 purchase for me. Loved Shenmue back in the day and probably spent too much backing Shenmue 3, but hey, at least I'm getting Yu Suzuki's autograph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess May Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Loving playing it again, not that I don't still have my original copies. A few bugs on cutscenes, but holds up very well for me overall. No waypoint markers or quest lists...good ol' investigating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephManderley Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Had both games on Dreamcast, liked the first one, barely played the second. At the time, the first game was great. Doubt I would enjoy it now though. Not excited about remakes, or 3, too much time has passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way that 3 will work well, will be if they put a Witcher 3-eque level of time into the world building (not necessarily the scale, but the depth to it) and channel the idea of a 70's kung-fu movie perfectly. I think it's safe to assume though that it will end being panned for being too similar to the past games (unless magic happens) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want it to feel exactly like the originals. I want the story Shenmue fans have been asking closure for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
