Man, this guy gets it. I saw this post on another board and it gave me a good laugh. --- Quote ---What the fuck, man? I just got a Dreamcast and started playing Shenmue for the first time. If Yakuza is anything like this I refuse to play that game. My first 2 hours of Shenmue: Ryo: I need clues to find the men who killed my dad! *random little girl appears* Girl: Hi Ryo! Did you see the kitty?! It's momma was ran over by a speeding black car! Ryo: Speeding black car? Do you know anyone who knows about it? Girl: Ask me sister! Hey, Ryo are you going to help me name the kitty?! Ryo: Sure thing. *talks to every single person in this section of the town* Ryo: Hi. On the day the snow turned to rain did you see a black car? Woman: Black car hmmm? If you want to know about that you should ask that lady! Ryo: Okay. *knocks on some doors* *some man walks into his house* Me: Oh. Well I guess I'll ask this guy for some info... *Ryo knocks on door* Ryo: Seems they're not in... Me: AEJF;ALSIJF Me: I guess I'll look for that lady then...now what was her name? alf?dafj? ladfaldfj? I forgot. Whatever. *walks around looking for the lady* *some old lady comes out of nowhere and asks for help to some person's house yet can somehow wait for me in the park because she's a bitch* *found the lady* Ryo: On the day the snow turned to rain did you see a black car? Lady: Hmmmm! I sure did! But I didn't get that much of a glimpse of it! You should talk to the people in the shopping district! I'm sure they saw it! Ryo: Okay. Me: aldsjf;dafj;das *Ryu travels to the shopping district* Ryu to random people: On the day the snow turned to rain did you see a black car? Shop keepers: Hi Ryo! Ryo: On the day the snow turned to rain did you see a black car? Person: You should check out the hamburger place! I'm sure someone saw it there! *travels for 30 minutes looking for a fucking hamburger place* Ryo: On the day the snow turned to rain did you see a black car? Hamburger place guy: Nope! You should try Tom! Apparently he got in an argument with the people in the car! Ryo: Okay. Me: WHO THE FUCK IS FUCKING TOM *travels looking around and encounters Tom* Tom: HEYA BOYEEEEEEEE! WHAT'S UP MAN!?!? Ryo: On the day the snow turned to rain did you see a black car? I heard you got in trouble with them. Tom: ME?! NO-NO!! Ryo: Okay. *talks to more people to get clues* *Ryo walks to the Chinese restaraunt* Ryo: On the day the snow turned to rain did you see a black car? You're Chinese so I'm going to assume that, since my father's killer was Chinese you know him. Speak up or I'll kill you. I'm racist. Shop owner: Me? Nawwwwwww! But if you're looking for Chinese people you should look for the Three Blades! Ryo: Okay. Me: WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK IS THE THREE BLADES AND WHY DO I HAVE TO LOOK FOR 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE NOW?!!? *Ryo looks around the whole time talking to every fucking citezen in the area* Ryo: On the day the snow turned to rain did you see a black car? I know about the Three Blades you Chinese bastard! Speak up! Tailor guy: How'd you know about that you Japanese son of a bitch? Talk to the barber. Ryo: Okay. *Ryo travels to the barber shop* Ryo: On the day the snow turned to rain did you see a black car? I know about the Three Blades you Chinese bastard! Speak up! Barber: Oh! I don't know a man named Lan Di. They must have meant my father! He's in Suzume Park after eating Soba everyday! Ryo: Okay. Me: FUCK THIS SHIT! *resets Dreamcast and plays Jet Set Radio instead* Couple all that I just typed along with AWFUL sluggish controls, the fact that it takes a long time to get anywhere, the awful maps.. Really. Someone tell me what is great about this game? Because from my 2+ hour experience with it so far, it's one of the worst games I've ever fucking played. Thank God for Jet Grind Radio. Thank the holy heavens. --- End quote --- Shenmue is just one of those games that everyone speaks the world of, but bored me to freaking tears. And don't tell me it's because it hasn't aged well, this is how I felt when the Dreamcast was new and I had just bought one with my new job money. Luckily Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Marvel vs. Capcom were also day 1 purchases for me. |

Sorry Fox, didn't mean to step on your toes. I didn't realize. :-[ |

I dont think your interpretation of how you feel about a game is going to sway a potential buyer on that. I could spew all sorts of crap about Call of Duty while standing at a Gamestop counter and Im sure someone will buy a copy while Im there. :) |
