Ahh Shemnue, i have mixed reactions to this game which i finished on Dreamcast. At first the game was incredible with its ambitions gameplay and was way ahead of its time however the game had major flaws.. its controls were really bad, the day/night circles werent fun, the combat was junky and once finished its not really a game to play a 2nd time around especially with the chores you need to do in the game.
Jim nailed it where he said the game was a prototype for its era, its the direction many devs took forward, unfortunately its not a direction preferred hence my gaming preferences.
Shemnue to me was as ambition as Mario 64 except Mario was more tame and they were actually able to make a fun game out of its directions where as Shemnue just wasn't really that fun. It was a QTE cinema styled game that was all about its looks and less about its gameplay. I must admit at the time the full interactive world is incredible for its time.
I will admit, I enjoyed your video and it was well put together so I gave it a thumbs up. Weather I agree with the content in it? Well your not entirely wrong or right.
