Yea, but i paid £30 for it. Looks like the payoff of saving £10 is to wait an agonising 24 hours. If it doesnt come tomorrow, its time to lock up the animals walking the streets, because there will be massacres of some kind.

I quite liked the driving as it eases you into it with the Class C vehicles, making you drive "properly" until you start experiencing the higher classes. Granted I haven't played a sandbox game with lots of driving since... erm... I'm not sure.

I got the suit early on, but if I remember correctly you need a Face level of 8 to actually wear it, which will definitely take a while.

So far I didn't need one, your first 2 dates open up Jade statues and Health shrines in your minimap so I ran into them as I played. Most likely if you're going for 100% collectables you might need some help but most of those are bought from different places.

Oh, and does this look familiar:

:idea: Maybe they listened!

GC: [At this point a PR person does notice we've overrun] And just quickly: are there any references to Shenmue in the game? And please don't say there aren't.

SVDM: (laughs) There's no reference per se, although obviously it is dealing with many of the same locations…

GC: Aww… c'mon, you've still got a few months. All it needs is a guy with a permanent Elastoplast on his face and a bar full of sailors…

SVDM: (laughs) I'll see what we can do.

Hey all,

I've gotta say that this game is amazing. I bought the PC version of steam (pre-ordered it about a month ago) and I have been so excited to get my hands on the game. I just played for 14 hours straight and there is so much stuff to do. I pretty much spent most of the time just running around looking at Hong Kong. The first thing I did when I got in game was to get a car and go straight to the harbour in aberdeen and to my delight it looks so so so similar to S2!! (the scene with Wong's boat comes to mind).
Image

This game just makes me feel like I'm back playing S2, the gameplay is not the same at all, but the feeling that I get running around Hong Kong, walking through the nightmarket or driving past temples gives me chills. After playing for 14 hours (only about 3-4 of those that I spend doing the main missions) I felt I should try and hunt down the Ryu outfit. So after about an hour of checking out all the clothes shops in the game I managed to get this. Anyways here are a couple more screenies from my day which hopefully make you guys think back to the good old S2 days!

In the Harbour of Aberdeen, I spent about 20 minutes looking for a warehouse number 8 :P sadly I don't think there is one.

Looks similar to the warehouse you drop off crates while working with the forklift in S1.
Image

Yin Tin Apartments? :P
Image

Night Market - I Wonder if Xiuying is hiding!
Image

Aberdeen
Image

If only it had the music - Tomoto Convenience Store
Image

My Ryu
Image

Could Almost be S1 after the nightmares :D
Image

I really can't recommend this game enough. FYI : playing on PC with the Free HD Texture pack on all max settings bar AA which is on High! Enjoy the game guys and feel free to ask any questions :)

Wait.. wtf? Where did this game come from with the ability to pretty much look spot on to playing Shenmue 2? Completely over my radar. Wow. Very cool stuff. Im gonna have to play this now.

It does have a strong Shenmue II feeling to it.

I somehow read your name before the topic and was like "what? Sheeping Dogs?"
