Plenty of games of that age have aged much better. Therefor Shenmue is a bad game. It was ambitious and a pioneer in the game industry, but that doesn't make it a good game. Open world games are the norm in the AAA industry nowadays, Shenmue is going to need something else to stand out now. With such a low budget I doubt much will come from it. When's the last time you have played Shenmue? Because there are far better open world games nowadays. GTA 3 is a lot better and only came out a year or so later.

Dude! I'm not saying that I like Shenmue or even that I have even played it and thought it was good or has aged well! You either keep missing my point or you argue about different things in each post. I'd like to believe it's the former.

As for the bolded, I disagree. Most ps1/n64 games have aged terribly. I can't even play Spyro any more, but that doesn't make Spyro a bad game.  It was brilliant back then.

As for the rest of your post, I agree (but it still doesn't make it a fact; just an opinion that I share).
