| Johnw1104 said: I'd say the majority of their criticisms were valid. Shenmue's whole appeal was that it offered an open, living city that you could freely explore and interact with in a way that people had not really encountered before. We should really get a poll going for people who have played it for the first time just recently. I did, and it certainly didn't live up to the hype. My concern for shenmue 3 is that the open, living world thing is nothing new at this point, and it's also ridiculously expensive. They had better find a new source of a lotta money. |
Shenmue is the first open world game, released in 1999. if you've played other open world games like GTA5 etc, and like how awesome it is, well you have Shenmue to thank for that.
Credit is given where credit is due.
