This gives me the yakuza vibe, but i hated how small the area to roam was in yakuza, can i roam all the countryside and beautiful landscape ? Its not going to be huge and with similar or even smaller areas than yakuza but a lot more interactive. There are going to be 3 main areas in the game with each of them having their own set of characters. The cast of characters is what differentiates shenmue from other games, the game are not filled with bunch of characters whom you won't even recognise on second glance. Almost all of them are handcrafted and have their own unique characteristics and work cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played yakuza 1 but felt like it's too small, to which yakuza will shenmue 3 compare to in terms of the size of the world?I like the other things you mentioned like character detailing but there is the limitation of spending and That is why a big open world matters along with good gameplay.Sent from my SM-N9208 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnackChap Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Honestly then this is not for you. All 3 areas are going to be similar to kamurocho from all yakuza games. No sidequests and as for the gameplay it's going to be an adventure game with some combat and qte thrown around. Combat won't be as frequent as yakuza with random street thugs chasing you every 2 mins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Encountering a thug every 2 mins was the worst part of yakuza. I'm glad it's not here, i'll get this game during a sale.

Big Boss Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Shenmue 1 and 2 collection is on psn for only 899 for ps plus members. Good idea to get in the groove before Shenmue 3 releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VelivolusDas Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Apart from the facial expressions, it looks really good. And intriguing, too. This is coming from a guy who hasn't played the first 2 games yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadoken Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) OMG its finally fking here. Holy sh*t , its still quite unbelievable. Edit: Just finished the first day , omg this is classic fkin Shenmue. The NPCs , the story progression the only weird part is the transition between cutscenes its super weird. I love how theres little bits of story/lore hidden away in random places just like the old game. Like I just opened this random cabinet in my room and found a drawing that explained some sh*t about the mirror. Also the graphics look pretty good , way better than what I expected. The animations could use some work though. Edited November 19, 2019 by Shadoken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadoken Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) That IGN review reads like a 7 but then he gives it a 5.9...what? My favorite line was "The combat would be enjoyable if the enemies didn't block all the time" , well gee idk maybe just stop attacking for a bit Reviews seem mixed as expected. People can't play games without the AAA fluff these days. IGN Japan - 9/10 DualShockers - 85 Gamesradar - 8/10 Eurogamer - Recommended IGN Italy - 7/10 Destructoid - 7/10 USGamer - 5/10 IGN - 5.9/10 A lot of the reviews seem to be criticizing it because it doesn't live up to AAA standards. But everyone knew this was gonna be a KS title with 1/10th the budget of the original games. Seems like an unfair comparison. Reviewers have no issues handing out 9s and 10s to JRPGs that literally still look like PS2 games and voice acting from the 2000s. But when it comes here all of a sudden its super important because the original games were technical marvels. like no sh*t it has bad english VA. AAA games probably spend more on VA alone than Shenmue 3's entire budget. But still its good to see that the issues mostly come from a budget standpoint and not the core gameplay. All this could have easily been fixed if Fkin Sega just made it themselves using the Yakuza engine.

Mysteryman Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) 2 of the 3 “big” hype games are out and both are considered as underwhelming. No fanfare here either. Will Final Fantasy VII Remake break that curse? Will Expanded Midgar work gather accolades? Edited December 5, 2019 by Mysteryman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The Last Guardian. All three games were announced in E3 2015. Remember that infamous Gametrailers reaction.

Idk why people keep thinking Shenmue was going to get massive critical acclaim given its budget. TLG and FF7R are actual AAA games. Even a game like Control has nearly 3 times the budget of Shenmue 3. A lot of people are going to be put off by the weird unpolished Animations,VAs..etc. Most of the fans who backed the game are super happy with it and thats the primary reason it exists anyway.
