TopicShenmue III. The story... *spoilers

Can't get over how the game literally went backwards instead of forward with the plot from Shenmue II. Also literal zero character development for Ryo and Shenhua. If anything Ryo feels like a complete loser by the end of the game. Getting absolutely owned by forget Lan Di but those two thugs as well as all the masters he trains under.

The whole 20-30 hour game is basically a wild goose chase in Bailu village and then another city where only at the end you get to Shenhua's father with not a very satisfying payoff in the end anyways.

Also how the fuck did they manage to make the gameplay worse in almost every way than Shenmue II and even the first game? Combat becomes literally an R2 button masher (not even exaggerating) and also the developers completely forgot to add quick travel in the noticeably bigger 2nd area.

I don't think Suzuki is gonna get lucky with another crowdfunded project after this debacle. So imagining a future Shenmue IV is looking like a long stretch at this point. So the story goes on.... with no conclusion is what we Shenmue fans ultimately get. Nice.
