I understand exactly what you mean, looking back on it, I'm surprised I was able to finish both games. The game sucked you in and made you feel like you were there. I've finished each game once and I'm not really sure if I could ever play through them again. I might try someday.DaMadFiddler wrote:I've tried so many times to play Shenmue, and I could just never get into it. I was always really impressed with it both technically and artistically, but I just couldn't stick with it far enough to find the "fun" in it. Eva's been wanting to play it once she finishes Conker, though, so maybe I'll be able to enjoy it vicariously through her.
Me neither. The introduction takes about half an hour, is completely unskippable, and both times I tried playing the game I didn't save it because I don't like to save too early, so in the end I simply can't be bothered to spend another half hour watching the entire introduction again every time I try to get into the game.DaMadFiddler wrote:I've tried so many times to play Shenmue, and I could just never get into it.

Ha I think that is a big part of why I've never played it again. I'll pop it in ready to give it a go then that long ass intro plays and by the time it is over I don't even feel like playing anymore.mankrip wrote:Me neither.

LOL this is my second favorite game on dccube_b3 wrote:I wanted a couple of friends to get into Shenmue, but since the original was a very slow paced game I thought we could just watch the movie and get into Shenmue II directly.
Unfortunately after watching the movie again i've realized it simply doesn't do justice to Shenmue.
It is quite bad, even with the Japanese voice actors. I personally feel it is the editing they've trimmed it so much that it feels like i'm watching something similar to The Last AirBender movie.
To much crammed in to little time.
Is it just me?

P.S. The saturated colors don't help either.
Good to know. I hate it when games gives us different endings based on the number of saves or in the amount of time spent. RE is very guilty of this.cube_b3 wrote:you should save [...] it doesn't effect your game score on anything.
Ah I didn't understand why you wouldn't save frequently. I hardly play RE games, so I was unaware of this.mankrip wrote:Good to know.
