Its 71 on metacritic. Almost as good as Days Gone

Almost as high you mean right? Because Days Gone is a great game, I suspect Shenmue 3 isn't.



duduspace11 "Well, since we are estimating costs, Pokemon Red/Blue did cost Nintendo about $50m to make back in 1996"

Mr Puggsly: "Hehe, I said good profit. You said big profit. Frankly, not losing money is what I meant by good. Don't get hung up on semantics"

This gets a like from me, DonFerrari :)
Good point too, and I agree, scores arnt always very reflective of how good a game is.

Days Gone got sh*t on reviewers, for being "slightly offensive towards women" or such.. its a much better game than its score reflects.
(and no I havnt played Shenmue 3, and dont care too, and yes Im still agreeing with Days Gone being a much better game)



Where is Easy Allies review of Shenmue III?I want to see their take!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

If is done by Huber I will dismiss it intantly.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

I never played Shenmue back in the day. Never owned a Dreamcast, and had no interest in playing an XBOX sequel to a game I never played. But I did grab the remaster for PC, so I think I'll be playing that next. I grew up in a time of archaic game mechanics, so I doubt I will have any issues getting into the games. If I like it, I'll grab the third game on the Epic Store.



Around the Network

When Shenmue released it was a top AAA game in terms of visuals and content. Shenmue3 looks more like a low budget game.

So naturally Shenmue 3 has not the perception of the old games, it just a nostalgia trip for people who enjoyed the old ones and perhaps some new who enjoys the very specific games style.



Ok, this is a genuine question. I've looked up some reviews and videos of Shenmue III, and I need to ask, was the English voice acting and dialogue made intentionally bad as a callback to the first two games? I mean, something like that was pretty much to be expected in a lot of games in the 90's and early 2000's, but I thought we had moved on from that in the last 15 years. You can actually do better these days, even in very small budget projects. Ryu especially sounds horrible, with every line coming off as awkward and stilted. I know that was the case in the first two games as well, but did they actually make him sound that bad intentionally, or is that really the best they could do? I'm not sure which option would be worse to be honest.



Sad thing is, I have a feeling this game will sell like shit. I'll he getting it, because I know what to expect. But nobody else will be interested in it.



its actually a 71 though :) title is wrong.

Then hopefully the next game (or two) will be crowd funded again.
