As it's almost November, and I have just got my Dreamcast out of its box, I think it may be time to play Shenmue again this year.

It definitely isn't just you, it is a game that you want to play during Christmas, mainly for the snow in Dobuita and Sakuragaoka. Shenmue II feels more like a summers game to me, if only for the warm colours and seemingly hot weather in the game.

Jamie.

Crates and books was the most fucking boring tedious retarded thing ever put in a game EVER.

Agreed, although at least when you were airing out the books there was some nice music to listen too.

With crates you just had to listen to Delin grunting. Why would someone pay you to move crates a couple of feet apart anyways? :???: Maybe I thought too much into it.
