Yeah, the whole chainsaw part was epic as f*ck because in Shenmue there's barely any weapons. I think S1 had one guy with one of those little retractable metal sticks, Terry's pipe, and that was it... So an actual lethal weapon like a chainsaw was like "HOLY F*CK sh*t just hit the fan!!!"

Yuan is like Chai... Good analogy :D I take it that you guys are playing the game in English? Yuan is actually a dude... In Japanese they clearly refer to him as "the guy that dresses like a woman" when they're looking for him. I like it because it ads to the whole freaky/deviant side that...

It was a good way to make the days pass quickly. You know, I've heard people say that, but when I tried it, Ryo got kicked out, I had to select the "wait" option, but then he got teleported to the hotel when the clock hit his bed time. Then I had to exit the hotel, and THEN I was able to ...

Now I'm really considering going to TGS. Do game developers typically wander around when they aren't busy doing their speeches? I'm asking because I'd really want YS to sign my copies of Shenmue 1 and 2 if I was lucky enough to run into him... Or is there at least an opportunity to meet, even if it ...

I hope it doesn't mean "we had to remove many parts of the story due to budget constraints"

Very exciting!
I'm hoping there is still room to expand the scope of the game with they PayPal money though!

many of the titles are some of the best in videogame history like Jet Set Radio, Power Stone and RE: Code Veronica.

Hell yeah, and don't forget Skies of Arcadia. As far as RPGs go, it's right up there with Crono Trigger and the top tier FF games.

"QTEs mixed with free battles", I hope that doesn't mean that whenever you fight, there will be QTEs mid-battle every single time. It's ok sometimes, like when Ryo finishes a certain fight in a specific way because of the plot, (like the move that finished Dou Niu). But it would be lame if...

He is a badass at everything except when it comes to women, then he turns into a huge pussy. The next time he's at ManMo, he better pump her tight hole full of seed, or I will forever think of him as a huge f*ggot.

Ryo has wasted countless chances to sample a good variety of some of the finest p*ssy China has to offer, so of course I want to slap him. He shoulda tapped that tight little Fangmei ass all night long.

I haven't bought Dreamcast games in a long time, but this makes me want to buy them again
I've already got my old dreamcast from 1999 (still works like a charm), plus a brand new, never-used one in case mine breaks! I think the last DC game I bought was Gunlord in 2012...

As if feminism was something that deserves to be discussed seriously

I was thinking the same thing, but not because of the sword. In my case it was because he leaves his bag at the come over guest house (I think you can even see it if you check the closet). Yet, when he follows Xiuying to her room, he never goes to retrieve it, yet he still has it with him later.

Yeah, I think it was on PS2. I've never played it though.

"This is still what a feminist looks like."

Fat, unattractive, entitled and arrogant?
Yeah, we knew that
