Shenmue Revival v.2

Postby csmakio » Fri Oct 10, 2014 12:13 pm

After a good hour of re-calibrating my dreamcasts laser, it is successfully loading and running games again without issue. \:D/

Looking to restart the Shenmue saga from the very beginning this Sunday. Anyone else start a recent playthrough of Shenmue 1? Its been a good 10+ years since I've played it. How well does it hold up?

When is bayonetta 2 being released? I was a huge fan of the first on 360.

Planning on buying a Wii-U just for 2 :)

I tend to replay the games every three or four years. On my most recent playthrough (four or five months ago) I got very frustrated with Shenmue 1. The controls are terrible and the amount of time spent waiting around is unforgivable. When I first played the game analogue sticks were quite a new thing and so having to control the game with a d-pad wasn't an issue. The amount of things to explore meant that wait time wasn't too bad either (not knowing exactly what to do to move the story along probably helped too).

Shenmue 2 still holds up well and is now probably my favourite of the two for that reason.

I replay the game almost everyday now that DC emulation is pretty good on Android.

As for the real game, I replay it once every 3 months.
