    I'm relieved to hear that there was no retcon with how many leaders there are. At the end of Shenmue 3 when Niao Sun said the Chi You Men will belong to her, I was worried they made Lan-Di the head guy. Learning that there's a sixth leader is insane

    I’m 45 right now and I was making the last part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy my last games purchase. I so love Shenmue! If we don’t get anything by the time FFVIIR-3 drops I don’t ever see it happening.

    Let's hope they sign a Shenmue 4 deal this year. It would be a shame if things end up like this. I know the game industry is going through tough times right now, but I'd like to believe that there are still cool publishers out there. Time will tell.

    I'm wondering if it would be best for him instead of trying to do a sequel to shenue 3 for a changeing format and see if he can just do a movie or or animated series and just complete the story that way. If it sounds good enough then make a game based off the TV series.

    If there is a part 4, they'll need to use the resources to cover more story and make up for the lack in 3. Part 3 dropped the ball and used the resources on a lot of useless things

      I think they need to describe the game and just do a four-season animated series and if it sells good enough then do a game based off the animated series

    I really hope this game works because when I played Shenmue 3 since it was 18 years since Shenmue 2 came out in 2001 a few days before the 9/11 disaster, the ending of Shenmue 3 that came out 5 years ago in 2019 was all for nothing, but here is the other thing is that I was waiting for TLOU II and that was worse that I never seen a game got review bombed before in my life when I seen it on google reviews, metacritic and it was hated 4 years ago in 2020 really bad to the worse.

    I really hope 4 is made and it actually progresses and finishes the story. Shenmue 3 was trash. Spent the whole game saving up money to learn the same move twice. Nothing else happened.
    Oh yeah finally got to fight Lan Di the end and couldn’t land a punch. Nice one.

    • @ShenmueDojoVOD
      @ShenmueDojoVOD  4 місяці тому

      Despite the execution there's quite a big change to the status quo in 3.
      Ryo losing the mirror, the Niao Sun betrayal of Lan Di. That's huge.
      Also Ryo couldn't even hit Grandmaster Bei, Xiuying, Sun and more besides. How did you expect him to hit Lan Di?
      He's also said he'd like 2 more games. How realistic that is? I've seen nothing to suggest it is and that's the unfortunate truth. But we keep pushing.

    • @fredbepsis7635
      @fredbepsis7635 4 місяці тому +1

      Would’ve made a lot more sense and been a lot more satisfying if one of the two identical moves we spent the whole game learning was a QTE prompt at the end of the Lan Di fight and we landed a single blow on him with it, which changes the whole dynamic and Lan Di suddenly recognises Ryo as a potential threat. The same way we land the counter elbow assault via QTE on the big lad at the end of the second game. Still get goosebumps from that scene.
      The status quo did change sure. But not nearly enough. Technically speaking Ryo leaving the cave is a huge status quo change and that occurs in the first minute of the game. By your logic they could’ve ended the game there and you would’ve been content. For a game loved as much as it is for its story, there barely wasn’t any. Just gambling.
      Dont even get me started on the combat or the QTE! 🙈🙈 Praying for a shenmue 4 just to wash the taste of this one out of my mouth more than anything. Was happier with Ryo in the cave!

    • @ShenmueDojoVOD
      @ShenmueDojoVOD  4 місяці тому

      @fredbepsis7635 Ryos not ready. You're missing the point a little IMO. He's learnt both those moves half baked. Quickly because he had to. So again it would make mo sense he'd hit Lan Di.
      The combat is fine. It needed more time. The QTE's either I'm old or they were hard!
      Plenty happened in 3 as stated in my previous comment. It's the execution that's lacking.
      But I'm also going against my own advice here. 3 is in the books and we can't change it. I'm focussed on Shenmue 4.
      I hope you'll join us on the 4th for the mass tweet! 8pm UK time.

      @@ShenmueDojoVOD The QTEs were very hard. A lot quicker and in the older games you could get away with missing a couple and Ryo would get hit or fall over but the scene would continue. In this game one single missed QTE meant a do over which I didn’t like.

      @Guy_Dude 4 місяці тому +1

      No, that’s exactly what Shenmue doesn’t need. Yakuza is garbage compared to Shenmue and was never a great game until Infinite Wealth, which is turn based and it’s the first Yakuza game to have any sort of variety(no, mini games were never variety because they were pointless to the progression). There’s not a single thing in any Yakuza that’s even remotely close to Shenmue in quality. EVERY game in the industry nowadays is an action game and Shenmue is the opposite. You put action trash in Shenmue and you took the life out of it. Not to mention Shenmue 2 has more variety than the entire Yakuza series. Keep boring ass Yakuza out of Shenmue.
