How quickly can you complete Shenmue?

[amiga1200]

certainly not a day.
was always getting totally failed by the qte's. (get by it after twenty or so attempts.)
tbh, it's not something i've tried, or thought of, or dare to do. (pad destroyer right there torturing myself on a shenmue DMC-coke-runner... )
[edit]
shy of a week, if i'm taking time, and no distractions.

With emulator running speed I can do it in around 5/7 hours.

Shenmue sucks for speedrunning, the whole last days of forklifting cannot be avoided.

Now I'm doing an undub playthrough with time cheat.

Can't say I approve of this If you beat Shenmue without even reaching Janurary you're really not playing it properly. I love spendinf time with the gaem and embracing the little details the town has to offer.
