I don't know dude. I would normally say no, but this is Shenmue. The game is damn gigantic and it's heavily story-driven. I just recently beat it after getting it for Christmas. I remember not playing it for a few days or even a week and turning it on and saying "Umm... WTF? Where the hell was I? What was I doing? Who the hell are you?"
I personally recommend starting over, because unless you're uber 1337 and can retain knowledge like some sort of succubus sponge, I'm sure you've forgotten some vital information

I quit games halfway though *ALL*THE*TIME*, I just don't have the attention level to complete most of the story-driven games they make these days. Or maybe it's just that the stories are relatively lame and if I want to follow a story I'll just read a good book. Shenmue 1 and 2 are just about the only RPG-like games I've ever actually finished. Just wait until you get to disc 4 of Shenmue 2, that is honestly one of the most beautiful sequences I've ever played in a video game. Which is why I'm so upset that Shenmue 3 will never come out, because it probably would have all been like that.
I would advise starting over from the beginning, though. Shenmue 2 has a good story and it's worth playing it right.

Oh boy, I'm like this too, or maybe even worse. Part of the problem is that I have many games, so every time I'm slightly bored with a game I switch to another.I quit games halfway though *ALL*THE*TIME*, I just don't have the attention level to complete most of the story-driven games they make these days.

I had it with a lot of games.
Baldurs Gate (pc version): Lost interest as well, since I got Shenmue
Shenmue: haven't played it from the 23d of April until yesterday, and I'm going to finish it so I have a completed file to start with Shenmue 2 when I have more time than I have now.
MSR: Last summer I played it like crazy in the summer holiday. I played it with the controller cause i didn't have my wheel with me. When I came home from holiday I wanted to play with the wheel, but I wasn't able to get nearly as much kudos, and I lost interest as well. I don't even know why anymore. So I'm still halfway.
Tokyo Extreme Racer 2: Also halfway the game but I lost interest.
Sega GT: Still need to complete most of the licences and only 1 tournament I think.
Rayman 2: Played for about 8 levels or something, I enjoyed it, but then came Shenmue
Two weeks ago I was playing Kingpin: Life of Crime (5 buck discount pc game ) a lot but it's only nice to shoot, kill, murder and blast ppl, nothing more
Those are the 'unfinished' games that come to mind now. But as I said, I'm picking up Shenmue again.

You feel at ease as you flock with the masses,

It is all about the strategy guides. Either official or gamefaqs. I have had Phantom Brave about 60% completed sitting on the shelf since November. I'll get to it...I still have to start on La Pucelle Tactics. My Shenmue 2, Headhunter, and SA2 saves are way old. Thankfully, I just barely got off the boat and had my wallet stolen, found a place to live in some crappy motel, and I last remember looking for something.
O yeah, check your diary for notes. That Ryo, he is always writing stuff down.

I have loads of games half-finished sitting on my shelf... Metroid Prime, Final Fantasy X-2, Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, Metal Gear Solid 3, Disgaea, Onimusha 2 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City to name but a few. I just find myself getting bored with most games after a while... only a special few, such as Shenmue and Shenmue II, hold my interest all the way to the end.
