To me it kinda is.
I already know the game, I just boot it up again for the feel, or nostalgia about a certain part. almost all of the times when I play it now are with nulldc unlocked framerate so I can skip time or go faster to X place in the story.
In shenmue I the time that you have to waste can be frustrating for new players (well, for everyone), look at the first hours in Shenmue, if you have bad timing you might have to wait for the chinese eatery, you then have to wait for the barber to open, then for the bars to open, then another day to trigger the you arcade fight, then wait to the next day for the tatoo parlor to be availeable, then wait another whole day for the charlie ambush.
How much is that ? like half an hour ?
I understand trying to add some padding to the game, but now that there are 2 games it isn't needed IMO. And it can be quite frustrating.
It's sad you don't get the choice.
