Face it. Shenmue is a great game - to me and many others.
And I actually had more fun with Shenmue than with Final Fantasy.
WOW, it works both ways!!!! Boy, you stupid jackasses have taken it to another level. "Shenmue has less replay value than most Saturn games." Shut the fuck up, really. That has to be the dumbest statement I have heard on this board since old arkamah\'s inane ramblings.
So you guys have absolutely NO merit in judging this game since:
a) you don\'t like Sega
b) you are stupid jackasses
c) You have probably never played more than 20 minutes of it.
Just live with the fact that there are alot of people out there that likes the game, more than a million people bought it, that is amazing in itself for a DC game, especially one as niche as this. Any Joe Schmoe could pick up Final Fantasy XIVII and know what they are doing, this game actually requires patience and understanding. Must be why Yu Suzuki is the greatest developer ever.
How many of you Shenmue bashers have played F355 Challenge? OK, now how many of you have gotten first in a race on it? Even with all the traction control and other racing aids, come on, how many? Oh, none?!??!!? I rest my case. You guys don\'t even give games a chance. You really solely on your fellow ass-pirates to make decisions for you, which is why you will be stuck in middle management for the rest of your lives.
