Ryo offers to deliver some Hoku Hoku lunches to the Old Warehouse district. On the way he gets curious as to what the guards like to eat, so he goes into the lounge and sneaks a peak in the bag. He finds 20 pounds of cocaine packed into the "food containers." "So Hisaka San is a drug ...

They could put it on the Nintendo Pee or the Playstation 47 for all I care, I just want to play it (I said 360 though ;) )

One more question: Even though I'm looking forward to Shenmue III: The Gang Edition, I was just wondering: Do you think Sega and Yu Suzuki will not be willing to do the real Shenmue III because of The Gang Edition doing their own version first? :lol: Just like the Star Wars fan predictions stopped ...

I sure did (was feeling nostalgic and browsing old threads!). And JoeM, why not bump a thread like this? A lot of the newer members haven't seen it yet, and it'd make no sense to start a new one since there are so many classic posts in it already.

for old-times' sake:

Ryo hotwires the cab in Sakuragaoka and runs Crazy Taxi missions all over the city.

I feel so guilty for not writing a huge review but il just say this..... no game has made me feel, no thing has made me feel, no person has made me feel, the emotion, and general experience that Yu Suzuki's triumph of Shenmue made me feel. We got Shenmue 2 and it hurts my heart to see how the game ...

Hey Chai old buddy. And yes I agree, I've got a saved game in the harbor and I really want to do this!

Well I just want to say I'm still waiting on the edge of my seat for further info.

Yes, I think we see more eye-to-eye than our posts let on. But still, try to focus on what I said previous. I'd like to think it has some validity.

Speaking of which, are you a Bill Hicks fan at all (as per my mention of him)? I hear he was huge over there.

I just realized you made my point by saying we have to dig for good music. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SAYING!!! Shenmue would be the equivalent of a great independent, underground artist...only problem is it needs a bigger budget than a small indie studio could afford.

Shenmue III. Every time I begin to think that the world is redeemable, that people apprieciate true beauty, that intelligence can sometimes triumph over the stupid and banal shit we have to deal with every day, I just think of Shenmue III and realize I'm kidding myself. If Bill Hicks had lived and t...

Yeah this is exactly what I was talking about.

Miles: Yeah, I remember Lan saying that the same exact trick is impossible in Shenmue I for the reason you mentioned, but that there's a different way to do it.

Kiyuu: Please explain it if you can! I would be eternally grateful.

I seem to remember, in LanDC's Shenmue II thread about making Ryo invisible and leaving the maps, he mentioned that there was a similar trick you could do in Shenmue I. Did I make this up? If not, can anyone tell me how to do it? I'm playing through Shenmue for nostalgic reasons and I really wanna g...

Agreed, but we're trying to get as close as we can. Since Shenmue is, at its core, an adventure title, various games do share many elements with it.

For years I had heard so much about Shadow of Memories , especially in this forum, and was excited to try it. Unfortunately, no one mentioned the negatives above or the complete lack of realism in the environments or the fact that dogs (who look like pigs!) guard the boundaries into other areas, or ...
