You love martial arts movies.
Both Shenmue games are essentially the marital arts movie simulators where you "live" trough the events. It's less flash, more slice of life than, say, the Yakuza games, more "classic cinema" than "anime" exaggeration. Go check it out, odds are you'll like it.

Good description. Shenmue is like a martial arts film where the cameras never stop rolling

[Anonymous No.2249230]

I can understand the excitement for Shenmue fans to want other people to play it, I know I'm one of them, but be very honest at least. Shenmue is not a game for everyone, it's very, and I do mean very slow paced. For the most part of the game is just walking around, talking to people and waiting, that's basically what you'll be doing. There are fighting segments but they are very few and too far apart between them. Even the QTE sequences that everyone assumes is what the game is all about aren't that many. Shenmue is like a Point and Click adventure game, except you don't Point and Click. The dialogue is kinda cheesy and the English voice acting is really bad, but somehow it feels fitting, assuming you're old enough to remember those old English anime dubs from the 80's and early 90s, that's pretty much the level of quality you'll be enduring. But again, because the game sets place in 1986, it feels kinda fitting to have that sort of voice acting, or at least tolerable.
Now with that said, I don't want to put you off the game completely, Shenmue really is a good and one of a kind game, easily one of my top 5 games, but please keep in mind that if you want to play this game you have to do it with the right mindset, if you somehow find yourself to have a week off, that's the right time to play the game.

[Anonymous No.2249236]

It's a great game but as >>2249230 says, it's not for everyone. You really have to get into it, it's very slow paced and 90% of the appeal is the atmosphere. There's some martial arts action but I think people love it because they love being in 80's Japan and exploring.

The first Shenmue is pretty awful. Shenmue was supposed to be a single game and the first one is merely the intro. The game is unique but the gameplay and game design in general is extremely bad. The story is worse than any martial arts movie out there and the characters couldn't be less interesting with the most boring character being the main character.

You won't find a game with worse pacing. But still, the game is a cult classic. There is nothing in the world anywhere close to it.

Long story short: Suzuki wanted voice actors to record their lines in Japan, probably to assure quality (how he could manage to do it since he's Japanese, who knows). Which meant that only second-rate VA, the ones that could afford traveling between Japan and America, applied to the job. Also, Ryo's VA was required to have some martial arts background, before being actually good at his job.

The whole project was something out of control. And mind you, it was originally supposed to be nothing more of a glorified Virtua Fighter storymode. Personally, I suspect that Suzuki went to a field (console games) where he didn't have much expertise. That, and he was used to get money thrown at him since his arcade games, while expensive, were also good and lucrative. The whole game, to put it bluntly, is padding to some VF-style fights, expensive padding, that required an awful lot of work.

>I suspect that Suzuki went to a field (console games) where he didn't have much expertise.

Shenmue was a game that no one had any expertise making, since it was the first game of that magnitude. It had over 100 people working on it, and there were no comparable open world games at the time, where NPCs lived their own life as well. They had to work on bugs that no one really seen before. Just managing the project alone required new tools (such as modern bug tracking or managing who-works-on-what). These all seem like little problems nowadays, but remember that Shenmue was made in the late 90s, and no tools existed for such problems at the time.

And the game could've gotten its money back if Sega had half a clue about what to do with their own IP, which they honestly never did in their entire lifetime.

Yeah he's hinted at that before, but I don't see why anybody would be roused by such a limp-wristed way of pinching off the story. It's not exactly the plot that makes Shenmue sublime. Plus, Suzuki already spoiled the general plot as part of the postmortem.

Well, it's certainly true that it was a daring experiment and a very important experience for the industry, especially in the project managing department. But Sega really wasn't in the condition to support these kind of experiments. Beside that, they kinda went into feature creep. Scrapping the project to continue it on a new console is costly after all.

[Anonymous No.2255681]

It's a fantastic game, but you'll need some relaxed time to enjoy it. Shenmue 1 has quite a slow pace, while Shenmue 2 has a lot more action and scenery (that third disc!).

If you can, play the Japanese dub. The voices are much, much better. The English dub feels robotic. The European DC version of Shenmue 2 was released with the Japanese dub and English subs; as for Shemnue 1, you'll need to find an "undubed" version (fan made).

I remember how Yu Suzuki and company were boasting about how amazing Shenmue was going to be, how the world was totally alive, fuckin' a we made a whole new genre called FREE, hold onto your nuts. It was the most hype I remember for a game since FF7 and OoT. Then the actual game arrived and was met with resounding shrugs.

Don't get me wrong, it was ahead of its time and blazed a trail but had some glaring flaws. Most of all it's made of uncompelling gameplay bits which don't really form a cohesive whole or tell much of a story.

What I wouldn't give for a modern game like it, though. I guess the closest we've got is the Yakuza series, in terms of open world games with Japanese sensibilities.

[Anonymous No.2256108]

So the thing I love about Shenmue is it was never going to make a profit, the project was over-budget before it moved to a Dreamcast project, where it was supposed to be a launch title no less!

I believe there was a quote that something like if everyone bought a dreamcast and two copies of shenmue it might break even. Of course that wasn't going to happen. So they planned all sorts of tie-ins, merchandise, even orchestra tours, none of which happened because the game --whilst selling great for the Dreamcast-- catered to a tiny market because Dreamcast itself was so poorly marketed. If Sega had got their shit together marketing the Dreamcast they might have actually struggled through therest of that generation and eventually turned a profit.

Instead we live in this shitty universe where Shenmue merchandise only makes very small appaearances at press events, and now goes for insanely high prices. I remember the official replica watch turning up on ebay years ago and the shenmuedojo community had a fucking anneurysm. That said, I do have the actual model he has in the game somewhere, it doesn't work and I have no idea where it is, but I have one.

You'd be surprised just how many people can't stand reading subtitles.

Yeah really, it's like "you wanna wander into a barber shop, open a drawer, and play with a can of shaving foam? Well you can!" and none of those things have any reason for being in the game plotwise, theyre just part of the world. Dobuita remains the most engrossing game location I've ever visited.

It's janky, don't play it.

As for the language thing, I can swing either way in Shenmue II, but in Shenmue the English voices reinforce the domestic feel of the game if you're a native speaker.

>get hyped for Shenmue
>buyers remorse from the garbage intro movie
>force myself to like it as the "game" unfolds
>becoming depressed every time i play it
>have to keep playing to the end to justify money spent
>game ends, nothing fucking happened, colossal waste of time

Years later, at friend's house:

>he pops in Shenmue 2, never played the first one
>same shitty production value
>Rocku Musicu, motorcycle, Joy
>listen man, I need to get going, bye

>Not a big fan of old games

then the answer is no, skip it


the graphics are very "late 90s arcade" looking and the controls are a bit stiff. The voice acting is... well, very 90s as well. I love games from my childhood but going back to play some of my 90s classics is a bit hard. This is one of them.

Man, I was so excited for Shenmue and loved the first disc, but for some reason every time I tried to make a save for the disc transition it would corrupt.

Being a Sega fan back in the 90s-early '00s was like being in an abusive relationship. You keep telling yourself that things were going to get better and that Sega has changed but they really never did. Everytime they would hit me(32x, giving up genesis support too early, no rpgs, bernie fucking stolar, no shining force 3 scenario 2&3, giving up Saturn support too early, etc etc) I would just yell 'thank you sir, may I have another!".

Not bringing over Shenmue 2 on the DC however when everyone else got it was the last straw for me ever being a Sega fan again. If I had a time machine I would go back to christmas '92 and replace the Genesis under my tree with an SNES so I wouldn't have to put up with years of bullshit and fucking over fans.

Is 2 better than one?
1 is honest to God one of the worst games I've ever played.

You're mistaking the mid 90's with the late 90's early 2000's. Mid 90's Sega was shit; 99 onwards until the demise of the DC, Sega was probably the best 1st party producer in the history of console gaming, thanks to the Naomi and the re-arrangement of their AM studios into the independent-ish Amusement Vision, Obaworks, etc.

Also, Shenmue 2 did come to the DC, to the blue one at any rate.

No, fakkuyu. I don't know if he meant fuck you, but is FUatsuKUYU. The small "a" after "fu" makes it "fa", the small "tsu" means a pause.
