[quote name='NateWhs152']Who the hell actually likes this lame ass game. IGN gave it a 9.5. WTF this game sucks my ass hole.[/QUOTE]

let me be there first to say, why? this isn't even the right forum. i mean if you are going to bash a critically acclaimed game, atleast post it in the right forum.
 
rotf...yeah..the game may not be for everybody but at least post your anger in the correct location :whistle2:*
 
Dear OP,

Dude, you're so slow. April Fools was so last week. I suggest going out and checking your calendar every once in a while.

Now wait a minute. Maybe he is in the right forum. I mean it says right there: "Deal Discussions & Bragging rights." He is bragging that:

Who are we to say that what the OP does late at night in his home isn't something to brag about...?

A very delicate critique. Well chosen words.
 
I think you just need to sharpen your skills. Wanna try a game of Lucky Hit? Why not try Lucky Hit?
 
This guy is on crack and just hates it since you can't run people over with cars. Shenmue is fantastic, I know it's too slow for alot of people but if you can't even see why people like it then your just blind.

What eloquence! This guy has to be a kid... the kind of "special" kid who rides a short yellow bus to school everyday.
 
I've never played Shenmue before, but since you gave such a hearwarming review...I guess it's about time for me to pick it up. Thanks OP! :D
 
I'm not a big fan of shenmue(besides the "so bad it's good" voice acting) but it's not that bad.

How about a game of Lucky Hit?

Would you like me to explain the rules?
 
I don't know about Shenmue, but Shenmue II was a little slow for me until you got out of the first city ... Wanzai? Was that it? Anyway, once I got to the second area (with the gang or whatever) I started enjoying it a lot more.

Here's the thing, shenmue's A.I. technology punishes players for not swearing enough. If you don't like the game, try swearing some more.

Or to put it another way (dumbassgamer #9):

> . "Item X is of no value to me, therefore it is of no value to anyone."

People have different value functions. Didn't your parents cover this?

[quote name='MaskedPlague']This is a good thread![/QUOTE]

Agreed. I knew when I saw the subject line that there was going to be some funny stuff in here. You just can't beat the entertainment value of threads like this.
 
I liked the first one. I couldn't put it down. I played the last disc and a half with out stoping. Ever since then my Dreamcast dosen't want to play right. The seconed one I played for about 30-45 minutes and didn't like it. I just couldn't get into the seconed one. I hear that if a third one comes out it is going to be a cg video. No game play at all. I heard that when the seconed one came out though. They might as well make it like that. Gameplay isn't much in them other then a few fights and walking around buying crap and talking to people. Even after you do something that would be concidered playing it you get a video. I don't know howmany times I just walked for 5 seconds and then saw a cg video walked for 5 more seconds and a nother cg video in the second one.
 
[quote name='smellhasreturned']i bought shenmue 2 for xbox. Played 2 hours maybe and went to get my money back. For some reason i want to play it again[/QUOTE]

its lucky hit...always coming back for more

or the dart game...hahah
 
[quote name='chakan']The game was very relaxing for me, atmospheric. It also actually made me want to drive a forklift. Seriously.[/QUOTE]


whew! so im not the only one..i loved this game..the only thing that got me was the glitch towards the end :\..spent 40+ days at the dock...
and not enuff fights

I agree! I remember sitting there thinking "what the hell am I doing?" -- but enjoying it nonetheless. The Forklift portion is Shenmue in a nutshell -- doing inane things but enjoying them for no reason whatsoever.

Plus the forklift was SO much better than listening to a hairy guy grunt endlessly as I carry crates back and forth in the warehouse. Bunk.

I love shenmue, but then again I pretty much love anything by Yu Suzuki

I sigh as I think of how many people have said this before. Why if I had a quarter for every time someone has said this then... well, I wouldn't be very rich at all would I?

Shenmue obviously isn't a game for everyone. It's more for patient gamers who have time to kill or for slackers who like to pretend that it's real so that they can feel like they're not lazy. After all, what other game simulates forklift operation as a job? Besides, if you're talking about the original Shenmue on DC (which I assume you are) then you have to look at the time period. Voice-acting was a relatively new thing and the graphics were nothing short of gorgeous for a simple in-game engine. The plot is mildly intriguing and it wasn't a game you just rented and beat. It had all those things going for it, however the PS2 was not far behind the DC (which is a real shame because I still say the DC is the greatest system) and when all of this new potential came forth (voice-acting for EVERY game, the new CG cutscenes, and the superior graphics) on the PS2, games like this were shot down. Now I'm sure you're not only recently emerging from the 8/16-bit era, so I have no doubt that you have played current-gen titles. What with all of the current advancements around today, it's not surprising that you would say that. Why play Shenmue when you could play God of War or Resident Evil 4, eh? However like I said, it's simply not a game for everyone and if you didn't enjoy it, then don't dare to pick up the sequel (unless a leather-clad babe paying you to move boxes with someone with a negative I.Q. is your thing).

Now, either all of what I have just said is true, or you are an idiot, and I'd rather assume the latter.

[quote name='AdamInPlaidum']I love Shenmue. It's like a 3rd person point and click.[/QUOTE]

That's exactly what I thought of the game when I played. I thought it was a little slow at first, but quickened later and was very enjoyable. This thread has been great for some laughs.
 
Shenmue is the shit! Man I feel like replaying the first after reading this thread, maybe someday the story will be finished off.
 
How the hell did I miss this thread?

Don't blame the game if your reflexes are too dim to stop the soccer ball.
Give your copy to another kind soul willing to help a kitten in distress.

psshht...

Ooooohaah.

If it's a 3rd person point and click ya want, check out Shadow of Destiny. I didn't realize it until about half way through my first play through (there are multiple endings) but that's exactly what it is. With kind of a Groundhog Day meets Tru Calling twist. You talk to people, get items in your inventory, and then use said items on the environment to solve puzzles/prevent your death. If you happen to die you just travel back in time a couple hours with the knowledge of how you died and, ya know...prevent it.
 
I'm not a big fan of Shenmue. My ex (well, when we were still together) practically forced me to play this game because according to him, it's the best game ever made; I was kinda bored the entire time. I guess it would have been a better game if the load times weren't so long.... Slow game + load times = I have better things to do. I guess it wasn't so bad when I finally beat it with a book in my hand (was reading during the slow parts)
 
Well, I will say that it seems to be a love it or hate it kind of game. Personally, I really enjoyed it. We get all kinds of games that make us shout, throw our controllers or just get tensed up via fast twitch reflexes. Shenmue lets you relax, do what you want to do, and enjoy a good story while you do it. It's a very calming game. Look at it this way, sometimes, you just don't want to listen to any more angsty-teenager hard rock and you just need to slip in the Bach Cello Concertos. But, if you can't handle it, go play Manhunt, I hear that lets you get your violent rocks off pretty well.
