Why go back and play the dated shenmue when the awesome spiritual successor Yakuzas are superior in every aspect?

Skies of Arcadia on the other hand ... I have no idea what the game is about but boy do Sega fans love to dwell on it. I'm interested in it.


Yakuza superior?

Both Shenmue 1 & 2 raped Yakuza 1,2 & 3 overall when it came to review scores.

Just because there are similarities, it does not mean that everyone is going to automatically like Yakuza.

I had more emotions/feelings for Ryo & Nazomi ALONE than i had for every Yakuza character put together.

Yu Suzuki's Shenmue has been called a masterpiece countless times by countless gaming media giants.

Yakuza on the other hand............. just another game.


Interesting comment, I decided to look it up and see if it was true.

Overall scores according to metacritic:

Shenmue: 88 
Shenmue II: 80

Yakuza: 75
Yakuza 2: 77
Yakuza 3: 79

Seems pretty close to me, I think both of you are overestimating your series of choice.
