| Leynos said: Ok, Shenmue 3 is shit. Dunkey makes trash and he sucks. He's never been funny and I'm going to copy and paste this. I hate all comparisons to Yakuza. I love Yakuza but the series are fundamentally different. Outside of surface level comparisons they could not be more different as franchises. One has a time element. The other does not. NPCs are all fully voiced. Have homes. Jobs. The other they are just background with the same repeated models. One plays like an old adventure game with some fighting thrown in and is modeled after VF. The other is a story-driven beat 'em up. One has a living breathing world with random weather and it's more dynamic where different events story or otherwise can happen under random conditions. No single playthrough is the same. Story down to the core is the same but certain events only trigger under specific conditions. The other acts like an old JRPG overworld. It's a setpiece to get from point A to point B with random battles on the overworld. The story and events play out the same in every playthrough. If anyone wants something more comparable to Shenmue esp of that era. Try Rent a Hero No 1. There is an English patch out there. It's a great game. |
Waited 19 years, and he didn't land a single hit was pretty funny.
And I already read your previous post. But besides what you wrote about the NPC's, most of what you described seem like differences rather than the same element but done worse/better. So that's why I asked.
