Shenmue III (PS4, PC)

Would you like to play a game of Lucky Hit?

Can you tell me about the Three Blades?

Hello, my name is Ryo Hazuki. You killed my father, prepare to die.

I know I finished the second game, but I can't recall if I finished the first or just watched the movie that came with part 2 on Xbox. It's nice to have a random game that is full-on living the life of a movie action hero, I'm super looking forward to this.

I hope they also add having to go to the bathroom this time.

I'm looking for sailors.

what can you tell me about the four wudu?

I hate to use that word "experience" again, but it really is. The mechanics of Shenmue are often pretty dull, but it forms something pretty special.

I dunno, this sounds like some rose-tinted shit to me

People were describing Shenmue as Frogacuda just did back when the game first came out, too, so I don't think it's about rose-tinting here.

Yeah I think I said that a bit wrong

My point is back then, it was kind of a novel thing and you remember your enjoyment from then, but if someone gave you a new game that was that way, you would kinda go 'eh'

It's a polarizing type of design but I think a lot of people liked Deadly Premonition for similar reasons to Shenmue.
