I played maybe ~5 hours of shenmue 3 and thought the core gameplay loop actually seemed pretty fun
The problem arises from all the bullshit they strung along it
Like how you have a set amount of energy you can use each day (which I like) combined with how you can spend that energy to run. This results in you being heavily incentivised to walk around at a snail's pace for most of the early game at the very least
The game had so many design choices like this that were just baffling
It was fine actually. However with this pace, we'll need 8 other games to complete the story.
I devoured the first 2 on Dreamcast. Bought the 3rd, haven't even installed it since.
Loved the first 2 on Dreamcast, started the 3rd one and couldn’t tell if my taste had evolved so much or if the game was just bad. I never finished it despite funding it on kickstarter..
I believe that Shenmue was like a proto-GTA, by the time Shenmue III arrived... the formula was not only perfected but improved upon by the likes of the Yakuza series. For a new Shenmue to succeed, it would have to match Yakuza level depth and add the level of attention to detail like the original Shenmue entries provided. This is to say the least, unlikely in the best case, and impossible if we are realistic when considering risk, budget, current franchise strength, etc.
Are there any people who even liked shenmue 3?
I haven't played it yet, but I've noticed way more positive opinions online about the game the further we got from its release date. It's currently 75% positive-rated on Steam and even 92% from recent reviews.
I think the game was way overhyped, but now that people don't expect it to be some monumental achievement, some actually do like it.
The biggest issue among the Shenmue community was that it left us in another fucking cliffhanger. Seriously. Yu. I love how dedicated you are to your vision....but this is getting annoying.
Most of the other criticisms were about how slow and plodding some things were....which is something a lot of us liked about Shenmue.
Im scared of playing it. 1 and 2 were incredible and then 3 just had way too much time before it came out. Nothing it could realistically be would match the hopes and expectations I'll have attached to it.
I might give this a try if it appears on gamepass or supercheap
It was free on EGS back in 2021. Has been sitting in my backlog since then.
I started it recently and I love it very much so far. I’d rather hear of a Shenmue 4 than a 3 enhanced…
What's the background in the Shenmue 3 banner, shields?
I didn’t even know 3 existed
It was a pretty high profile release in the gaming world. Not like "primetime TV ad spot" high profile, but within gaming circles it was big news.
No way in hell am I buying this disappointment again
