It's similer to what happened from the start, they developed Shenmue1/2 and possibly a part of 3 on the Sega Saturn, then scraped it all, and redone it for the Dreamcast. If they intend to improve the graphics, they'll probobly scrap the 10/15% of Shenmue3 that they've done.

Starwars: The Empire Strikes Back!

Just part of his character really, its the typical martial arts master in Kung Fu movies, either old and fat, or blind.

Good question. I love it for alot of reasons, mainly its unique style and story. And as you said, the daily life going on around you, and I still think the graphics are great to this very day. The fighting is brilliant too, along with the dozens of mini-games. Even though the voice acting is bad, I love it for its cheesyness, it just give me a good laugh.

Nozomo, she's the only one he really cares about. The motorcycle scene, and the park scenes. The only reason he didn't tell her anything is because he doesn;t want her to get involved. I think when he comes back to Yokosuka, Nozomo will be back there for some reason waiting for him.

Wan Chai, Green Street, in the martial arts training area, I just love to stand in the middle of it and watch them train, it looks like their about to hit Ryo. :?

''Did you have sweet dreams?'' I think Joy was wondering if Ryo was dreaming about her, in a sexual way.

Hmmm, not sure, he could have just winded him. I think he was still moving. Anyway, I wouldn't call Ryo a ''killer' If Dou Niu did die, Ryo did it purely for self defense. But then again, in some ways you could call Ryo a killer, since he intends on killing Lan Di.....

It was before the DC came out in the Uk. I remember reading some articles, previews and reviews of it in Gamesmaster magazine(best mag in the world) And I thought this would be cool. Anyway, what really caught my interest was that short documentry about how great the DC is(rememeber the guy talking about the VMU?) and it had a clip of Shenmue. I didn't know the title of it then, and I accidently bought another game thinking it was Shenmue :roll: When I played I realised it wasn't. Then I realised it wasn't even out. Anyway, I couldn't wait any longer for it come out, so I payed about £70 for the japanese import(which came with a Shenmue music CD) Thrn when it came out in the Uk I bought it again(Coz I can't understand Japanese) And the rest is history.

Back off bitch! me and Ryo will team up and kick ur ass!

Here he goes again. The ''I'm gonna kick your ass'' shit. Seriously, can you really kick someones arse/ass on the internet?

soo TP u think you can fight eh? cause i can kick your ass any time! Ren was just backing me up and you come in like some Ja rule wannabe talking about fights! "Here he goes again" well i got news for you! when some one backs you up in fights that means the person that is backing you up likes you as a friend but i think i do have a friend unlike you. no one is not even backing you up cause you don't got no friends!


How old are you? The ''you got no friends'' is for kids who haven't even learned the alphabet yet. You know sod-all about me. So how can you make a judgment about kicking my ''ass'' People like you only talk big on message boards and chat rooms--the truth is their just little kids with nothing else better to do with their time--and I'm getting the impression your one of them... I truely feel sorry for you.

what balls? sorry ash i have know time to fight this darth MOL wannabe or whatever!i am out of this fight and by the way Grow up TP because i stoped fighting with you!

LMFAO!!!!!!!!! I'm lauging so hard I think I'm gonna burst a blood vessel.
Who said anything about being a Darth Maul ''Wanabe,'' huh? Thats just you talking out of your arse again. Anyway, I'll be quite happy to cease fighting, As ever, this bickering is pointless.

Release dates from game shops are reliable as a pin stabbed condom.

I'm watching 'Attack of the completely-insane-and-savage-invisble-surfe-boarding-killer-bikini-vampire-girls-that-have-heads-shaped-like-funny-turnips Part 2'

I'm now watching 'Deep Throat' ;)

No.

The Nomad Soul is a decent game. The graphics are poor--but does that matter? It's like Shenmue except it takes place in a futuristic city.
Morrowind is ok--lots of freedom. If you like the kind of investigating and puzzle solving, try Broken Sword one and two or Escape from Monkey Island--keep in mind, there not action games.

Well, I can't just say one game--Lol. But I'll have to say Halo and Max Payne--nuff said.

I saw the clips of FF-2, and I wasn't that impressed, infact, I was horrified, allmost felt like I was gonna be sick. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big FF fan, but they certainely f**ked up FF-10. It was a load of shite, I was hugely dissapointed that it was a very straight-forward game. I think FF has reached it's limit--the series is gonna come to a hault....

Lets look at some major fu*k up's, due to good graphics.

MGS-2:A huge hype, orginal was brilliant; put too much work into graphics and they mess it up.

FF-10:Another huge hype, messed up again by trying to show off good graphics. Gameplay sucked harder than a Dyson vacuum cleaner.

Spiderman:The first game on the PS was brilliant, sucked on the PS2.

Munches Oddysee: Wonderful series. Sequel sucked, but had its good points.

Resident Evil 0: Some may argue with this, but alor of fans agree: this prequel sucked.

Well, I'm sure I could go through more. But it seems that sequels that moved on to a next gen console seem to fuck up, because their too busy ''showing off.'' When faced with the graphical dissability of an old console, they concentrait on making the gameplay and story better, such as FF.
It's like movies, the high bidget films just show off. Take Starwars, the originals was fantastic, the sequels just show off. Same went for the Matrix. I'm not a fan of it, but many say the first was better and the sequel sucked--As I noticed, it seemed to be another excuse to show a CG art show.

Though not all games follow this strange path. Take Splinter cell--brilliant! Halo! But, they was fresh onto the next gen console. I think the game developers who created a decent game on a old console allways wanted to go further, so they bring out the sequel... then go too far, untill it becomes a extacy--they can't resist to show a amaizing graphical presentation to wow the audience--unlike before.

In that case, I apologize for the recent misunderstanding, no hard feelings? Anyway, I voted ''no'' since no-one else here is going to vote it

I think Ryo will pork Ine-san.

I like Star Ocean, and Grandia, I allso recommend Suikoden for any RPG fan--it's great.
Anyway, FFX-2--Gosh! I don't useally bash changes, but man, I really don't like the idea of an all girl group that kicks ''mens'' butt.
I'm not sexist or anything, maybe whoever had the idea of making it an all girl group *is*. I'm just not too comfortable with this.
I hope they get there act together, I don't want anymore crap from the world of Spira--I didn't even like the first(was excited about the next one) Then they make a bloody sequel to it!.
I hope FF-12 will be decent, if not, then I'm giving up the series once and for all--buh bye Squar! You may have just lost another fan!

I don't mind girls in games, it's just when they make the whole group just girls--which it seems so far. I'd allso like to mention I don't like it when it's just men in the group too--just thought I'd say that.
The same goes for movies, it's kind of an unwritten rule that you must have men and women in the group--and it works fine for me.
The films with an all female cast useally suck. I didn't like Charlies Angels--some may argue with this, but what the hell.
And your right, they do wear ''slutty'' clothing. When I play a game, I like to concentrait on the game itself, not on the girls' revealing parts--well, sometimes.

WTF is American Pyscho all about? The bit with the two prostitutes is one of the most freaky things I've ever had the misfourtune of whitnessing.
By the way, I call 'Saving Private Ryan' ''Shaving Private Parts.''

Thinking about singing this in the Eurovision Song Contest.

I thought it was romping a stuffed hippo.

I'll be the one dying if Shenmue-3 don't come out.

Megumi will perish!

Who knows, maybe this time they'll want to end it with a big bang. It's possible, however unlikely, that Sega will bombared us with shit loads of ads. If they do it right when revealing the game, it be very succesful. Problem is, there is a predujice against X-box. I've heard people say a game is crap just because its on X-box. Similer to the Dreamcast really.

Trainspotting--brilliant film!

Why is 'Shenmue' on the list? Ryo will end up with the Shenmue tree? Does that mean he's a hippy? A tree shagger?

WTF?!? Now I'm really pissed! Next we all have to clothes that have black on it, or we'll be considered rascist. I have the union jack at home, and I'll never change it.. and I don't give a shit about any prat says about it.
Sometimes I feel like I'm rascist just coz I'm white, and alot more people feel the same way.

After doing some thinking... the new design doesn't look bad. It's the governments fault for turning the original Union Jack into a symbol of racism, thats why I'm so pissed off. The Union Jack is allso a fashion symbol, does that mean they'll have to change that as well? Anyone wearing the orignal will probably be thought of a rascist. What about the England falg? Or the Scotish flag? Anyone putting them up there window is a rascist? But its okay for different culters to their national flag up and not be accused of being ''rascist?' This is just fucked up.
It's like we all have to tip-toe around to be careful of not being rascist. When I called a black guy a ''black guy,'' I was accused of being rascist--WTF? But it's ok for black people to call white people ''white?''

I'm sorry for that, but I just had to get that out of my system.

Their lovely-jubbly.

I think its just a stupid excuse to snazz-up the syle a bit ;)

Remember the good ole' days of this game? The time of thieves and cheaters--lol.

So what was your character's name? Was you a thief or a cheater? Or both? Any interesting stories about the times you had online with this game? Was you member of a clan? Come on, lets reminisce.

Well, I signed it. As they say ''every little helps.''

I volenteer to write it.

Well, the answer is obvios, since your on a Shenmue forum. Anyway, I can't really judge between the two--it's like apples and oranges--both are different , and both taste good.

As ever, Sith happens.

It's probably a load of Bantha poodoo, but I'll give it a go anyway.

Fukusan.
