So yeah, I played Shenmue 1, played the storyline where the protagonist knock off of Ryu in Streetfighter went all "you killed my father! and stole me MacGuffin...I meant grass-green mirror!" and went off after the Ching Chong crime lord.
I'll admit it, I played through the entire game, beat it, forklifts and all. Clunky gameplay, thank GOD this episode is over. Didn't get Mr. Ching Chong Crimelord in the end. Cool. There's a sequel.
Boot up the sequel, WOW! What a world of difference. Much tighter controls, better..just better everything.
