Comments on: Rumour: Shenmue III for E3 (omglolwtf) http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/05/30/rumour-shenmue-iii-for-e3-omglolwtf/ This is the news Mon, 01 Dec 2008 23:18:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: njc3190 http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/05/30/rumour-shenmue-iii-for-e3-omglolwtf/#comment-11931 njc3190 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 21:12:43 +0000 http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/05/30/rumour-shenmue-iii-for-e3-omglolwtf/#comment-11931 This article reminded me of the day I walked into that games shop and how grateful i am that just by chance picked this game up off the shelf and bought it. There's absolutely no deying the game's beauty and cinematic quality, even if some of you out there found Shenmue to be boring. It has this immersive feel to it, beautiful and interactive envirnoments and it was far ahead of its time. It's by no means crap! I'm all for a Shenmue 3 release.

In a way Shenue was a precursor to games like GTA IV, with it's AI driven populous and night day cycle amongst other features. I really hope Sega closes the series with a final game, or heck how aout a CGI production, darn it just give us closure. :) Shenmue was more of an experience than a game, but a very good experience at that.

Just because it's rubbish, doesn't mean I have to dislike it. It's a game that has almost no gameplay of any kind, it's really slow paced and it has terrible voice acting. A bit like Resident Evil, no? A game which is one of my very very favourite series, yet I'd still say they are (4 aside) not very good games. Shenmue just has something about it.
