Didn't play another game in the series until late 2020, then played the entire series from Kiwami 1 to Yakuza: Like a Dragon and now it is one of favorite video game series of all time. Whereas Shenmue as a series has become a completely flattened tyre because its latest entry (that took nearly two decades and literal money from its fans to even be made) Shenmue III was such a mediocre experience. The fact that it advanced the overall plot by like 5% (the game is literally 90% filler) did the series and its fans no favors. It certainly has soured my take on the series and I'm sure a lot of the fans feel the same. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
