To get a score like 8/10 or higher is just unrealistic for Shenmue 3 since people will keep in mind it is a kickstarter (I'm not saying that they are always low scored) and the budget is not very high resulting in possible backdraws when compared to the typical 9/10 game that has a lot of money put...

I voted 70+...playing it safe I guess. Ofc I'm hyped for the game; however, I do not want my expectations to be too high to the point where I may become disappointed. I have no doubt that the game has the potential to be fantastic (80 or 90+) but keeping my expectations low will only make me even ha...

Hey, In case anyone didn't know, the rapper Kodak Black sampled the Shenmue Nightfall tune in a song. It's currently sitting on over 2m views: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w6GSmdkDSP4 Is this satire? I just think whoever chose the Shenmue sample thought it'd make a good beat to rap over. Tbf, Shen...

Can't help but to express my frustation. We are a few days away from what was the original Intended release date for this game when the Kickstarter ended and have yet to see a single glimpse of gameplay, in-detail scenario or even characters besides some random NPC. My hype and overall expectations...

I'm assuming Deep Silver has decided that it's best not to show parts of the game's development until it's more solid. This could be good; it would mean The Dev Room Reports are less useless and have more content in them.

If anything with the current socio-politcal climate lets keep Ren's comments to a minimum on that (although the game is set in the 80s but its not really the press coverage the game would need). I doubt we will see Yuan return, so don't think that will happen anyway. And besides, most people don't ...

by the year 2000/2001 pretty much anyone in the western world had internet though and fora were much more popular than they are today in fact since there was no real social media.. I don't think so; magazines were the go to place for gaming news and information, not the internet. Yes, everyone had ...

I know from german and dutch major magazines rating the game a 7.5 and you guys seem to completely miss my point about consumers rating the game much lower back in the day. the game got a ton of hatred from gamers, who simply were not ready. just like people were not ready for blade runner in 1982 ...

shenmue 2 got much better reviews, but 88 isn't anything great though. shenmue one got about a 7.8. major magazines and websites were flaming the game big time and consumers as well. it got tons of bad reviews and press over it. 'Major magazines and websites were flaming the game big time'. The pic...

While I don't usually care about language. There's a few exceptions that I believe shouldn't cross into that territory. I would absolutely hate it if they went a Beyond Good And Evil 2 route with this series. I love the first BG&E, but that trailer completely shut my interest down. Then again, ...

Doesn't Ren swear from time to time in the Japanese DC version of S2? Also Yuan's gender was changed in the Europaean DC version and the Xbox versions. I remember reading about Ren talking about Yuan saying something like "Talks like a woman, dresses like a woman, has a dick." in the Japa...

However, on to the point about guns and drugs... isn't it implied that that's what criminal organizations like the Mad Angels and Chiyoumen would be largely involved in? Yeah, good point. Drugs are actually mentioned in Shenmue 1 by Master Chen, who says the Mad Angels are shipping in drugs to Japa...

Yeah but Ryo will be fighting Chiyoumen members I'm sure, judging by the screenshots. And most Chiyoumen I'd assume are city folk.

It should have some. It doesn't need any f-bombs but the occasional outburst of medium swear words just makes the dialogues feel more natural. Yeah agreed. Hearing someone drop the f-bomb in a Shenmue game would be like including guns and drugs in the game; it's out of place in a Shenmue game. If I...
