Spot!

Somewhere along the way the definition of RPG got changed to mean turn based games with experience and hit points.
It's like the term R&B. R&B used to actually be about rhythm and blues, not Nelly and Beyonce ffs.

My theory is the shenmue is tooo human like. The majority of gamers like games that take them away from there eveyday life. Blowing up aliens just appeals more then finding a guy who killed your father and walking around with no leads. I love shenmue but i understand why people don't like them. Its not because they are morons. Its because when they play a game they wish to be a Footbal MVP or save the day by single handlely killing 500 aliens. Some people like action and they just find shenmue boring.
Man! that is so trueOnibox wrote:only reason FF sells(exception of 7th one), is cause of its CG, if u noticed in thier TV Sport commercials, they never show gameplay, very tiny piece of it, a whole alot of CG and lots of Publicity. reality is, SHENMUE makes FF series look weak.
That is the saddest fact about Shenmue - They spent nearly as much money as the biggest, most special effects laden blockbuster, but if you'd filmed it, it wouldn't have cost more than about $5m-$8m.Peter C wrote:The game is like an average movie, costing up to four times more money to create, than compared to your average blockbuster film anyway, but take away your opening and final dramatic scenes and what have you got?
Aha but then the problem arrises of avoiding repetitaveness, keeping to the original storyline,and keeping the game in a general RPG/F.R.E.E. genre instead of a beat-em up.rome wrote:I think in Shenmue 3 they should make somehting challenging happen...like havting to fight alot of the ChiYouMen.....that would be cool........
