Maybe he'd get a good amount of money and recognition by making other games.
Money and recognition needed to release Shenmue III.

"Have you ever ate toast whilst thinking about Shenmue III? If so, what was on the toast?"

The postmortem goes on...

I think I first played it when I was as young as about 8. Maybe even younger. I remember spending so long looking for Yamagashi-San. That's my only memory of the game, but I completed it and went onto Shenmue II. However, I didn't complete Shenmue II, I believe my Dreamcast broke or something before...

I think I always thought that the back of his jeans were lighter.. and his sleeves were shorter or something... I dunno probably just me being paranoid

Possibly a move known by Suming Zhao taught to Iwao? By the description it sounds like the move Lan Di used on Iwao to kill him. So maybe Suming Zhao taught this move to Iwao, Iwao used it on Suming, then Lan Di used it on Iwao. Maybe in Shenmue III you will meet a person who taught Suming or Longsu...

Also, MiTT3NZ, you are wrong. Shenmue III will be epic and it will definitely never be so bad that we ...

Has anybody else noticed that stars are constantly mentioned throughout the series? I think they have a major role in the storyline. There are many times when they are shown to you/mentioned, I would have to list them all on my next playthrough but here they are from off the top off my head - Ryo dr...

It will always be my favourite game of all time. It holds a lot of significance to me and it is like no other game I have played.

I also made a Shenmue achievement list a while back.

Yeah, I can't imagine her being a martial artist. Her character is too sensitive and it is never mentioned.

I always play SII on the 360 and there are a few problems like the filter not working and sound sometimes going off making you pause and unpause to reset the background music, but it is still playable and I play it because my DC version doesnt work.
