I can't express the greatness of the Shenmue series. (Spoilers inside)

I finished the 1st one, and hated it. It was so bad, I can't even play the 2nd one. Oh well.

I don't think any other DC game has such contrasting camps. Maybe MvC2.

It only makes sense. It was one of the most high profile and anticipated DC games. So most everyone bought it. But it's gameplay is certainly not for everyone...

Yes, people don't like Shenmue, we get it already.

I may end up giving Shenmue II a try, though. I hope it's the game that I thought Shenmue would be.

That's exactly what it was to me. The first one disappointed me. I liked alot of things about it, but it was so slow, and so much filler, and so many problems. Shenmue II made me realize exactly what Shenmue I was supposed to be.

It sits in my pile of shame, awaiting the day I deem it worthy of my attention. At this rate, it don't look like it'll be anytime soon.

Or do we have to agree on everything and make this all happy happy land?

I've played both Shenmue games, and I don't remember much difference. What makes Shenmue 2 so much better?

Shenmue 2 owns your soul...

Umm... That post by Green is actually mine... Some kinda glitch up there...

I just copied and pasted your post instead of quoting it.

Um, now I can\'t see Frog\'s posts.

Yeah I saw like 3 seconds after posting. Damn people are too quick.

Anyway, Shenmue 2 was just much better paced. The first game was all stretched out and full of filler, and no plot. Shenmue 2 went somewhere, and was full of memorable moments, and always had something fun in front of you.
