Thread: Shenmue

  1. #1

    Default Shenmue

    I have found a new love. I have been pretty late with these things, I just got Shenmue a week and a bit ago, and just beat it today. I feel so bad for missing out on this gem back when it came out. Im gonna buy Shenmue II off eBay tomorrow, I must get it. All other games are on hold.
    I just hope Shenmue III comes out for the PS3 as well as the Xbox 360, if i was ever going to buy a 360, Shenmue III could push me far enough.

    I loved that series, specially the changing weather! At the time I played it I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread! I tried to buy them both off Ebay to relive my childhood, but they both got very pricey, so I had to let my dream slip.

    I got shenmue for £12. Shenmue 2 is pretty cheap for the Xbox, but the DC version which I need is very pricey.

    That was the version I was after.

    I have Shenmue and found it generally engaging enough... But I heard it was never going to be finished and lost interest.

    I need a copy of FFVII... Wonder if I could trade my Dreamcast Shenmue for a copy of it

    You should really keep on going with it. Considering the fact that Shenmue 2 is awesome (and considerably longer than the first game) and that Shenmue 3 may well be in the works for the next gen consoles (http://games.kikizo.com/news/200508/141_p1.asp).


    But yeah, Shenmue is just one of the greatest series of games ever made.

    and co-incidently I just switched back to an old avatar that comes from Shenmue, before this thread.
    Word/s.

    I know how you feel my friend....this game just brings me to tears..........it's such a great game and I really wanted to see more sequels for it for the PS2 specially. But now they should be done in Wii, it'll just sell more for it. SPECIALLY with the controller.

    I heard Shenmue 2 sucked though (I blame it on the xbox)

    Congrats!!

    If you enjoy Shenmue, you should give Sega's Yakuza a look. I think it comes out over here this year maybe. Looks like the spiritual successor to all Shenmue stood for, just a lil' darker I guess. Besides Sega spent like a billion dollars on the sucker, so it can't hurt to give it a peek.
