Metal Gear Solid, to my memory, did not use the second analog stick. Left one rotates/moves Snake, right one moves the first/third-person camera. In Metal Gear Solid 1? That isn't true at all. MGS1 only used left analog stick, and the camera wasn't movable. The only way to "move" the came...

No they weren't. Compare them to something like Metal Gear Solid and even during the time period they were pretty bad. Metal Gear Solid 2 came out the same year as Shenmue II and two years after Shenmue 1. The controls between the two games is night and day. Shenmue 1's controls are manageable; you...

Nope, except that I'm going to play it.

Thank you for the insight! Your English is excellent, by the way.

Get me a Kappa smiley and we'll have no issues.

I thought it would be obvious enough due to the absurdity of my statement. Shenmue II only taught me two Japanese words/phrases- "this is" and "thank you."

Would this entail modern game reviews, retro, or both?

Nowhere in this thread did you state you could understand Japanese.

Lighten up. It was a joke.

Crazy Taxi- it's a first-party Sega title, and I'd imagine everyone over the age of 17 has played it or knows of it.

You guys don't seem to have much faith in my Japanese. I'll have you know I played Shenmue 2, so if I'm not an expert I don't know who is. I'll probably end up getting a chip like Thief suggested. However, if there aren't too many other Saturn games that I decide I want, I may just save even more mo...

Has anyone here played this game? I very recently got into Saturn collecting and have heard mixed opinions on it, although many hail it as the holy grail of the Saturn and one of the best games ever. The North American version is insanely expensive and out of the question, but I could get the Japane...

Well I'm sorry to say it, but you can still get the same dialogue from them if you lose.

You wouldn't really be able to play anything besides Lucky Hit and Excite QTE, and even those would be tough.
