Have literally not heard anything about it since the Epic Games exclusivity announcement and Sega releasing the original two games on steam.

So it ended up being a dated mess like Duke Nukem Forever. Yeesh.

Would it at least have been acceptable for early 2000s game design?

I've actually heard good things about it. As much as I liked the first 2 games they were a product of their time.

Plus the Yakuza series is far better at pretty much everything while having similar concepts.

It was terrible from what I heard

-Has awful gameplay designs from the early 2000s and requires tons of grinding to progress
-story barely goes anywhere
-literally ends on ANOTHER cliffhanger!

the game basically feels like a filler episode in a anime, the plot does not move forward until like the last half hour the game and the combat is somehow less fluid than the previous games

Check out this review, it perfectly encapsulated how I felt about the game. I loved the first two games but you cannot go 20 years without changing the overworld mechanics, add in some terrible ones (i.e stamina that is also tied to health) and somehow make the fighting worse. 98 percent of the game was filler, we waited 20 years for a Shenmue filler game.

Barely? Ha. You could have completely missed this game and not miss anything, the plot doesn't go anywhere and the game is like a Naruto filler episode until the last 2 percent of the game.

The fact that they didn't release it for Steam really held it back.
And in fact, is the reason I can't give my opinion on it.

They should have just focused on QTE and exploring

It was good if you weren't expecting anything

1 and 2 were way better

I still haven't played this game because I'm waiting for the Steam release, if it happens.

I just know that there was a ton of hate for the original Shenmue games when they were released so it wouldn't be surprising if Shenmue III got hated as well regardless of whether it's a good game or not.
