Very slowly. If the game allows you to say up all night I'm going to spend A LOT of time walking around the mountains all day and night and appreciating the scenery and waterfalls and sunset and sunrise and the weather. The rest of my time will be spent playing Lucky Hit and mowing grass and working on the farms in Guilin. (I suspect these will be the types of jobs to do in the 80s in Guilin.)

Oh man, any jobs and mini-games that will be available I'll turn into Ryo's daily routine. Wonder where he'll sleep every night?

in the future, i guess we can all look forward to members like LanDc, who will be rip shenmue 3 to bits to find all the hidden sweet gaming goodness. :P

I always found it weird you couldn't stay up all night in Shenmue (with exception to that one time when you're looking for Heartbeats bar). I mean, you're old enough to go on a quest to avenge your father's death, mess with the Chinese mafia, get into fights and get a job, but oh boy, you better be home before 11 (or is it 11:30 - I forget), because you don't want to upset poor old Ine-San lol.

I will be taking time off work, and going dark from the forums. I dont care about being a mod or not. I will lock myself away in a dark room with food and liquid and embrace the winter conditions outside. I will walk everywhere, using the camera to look around EVERYTHING and examine EVERYTHING slowly. I mean savour the moments doesnt even come close. This is going to be a full on not sleeping 100% playthrough.

Slow and steady. Though I usually seem to take longer to finish games in general compared to the average. Not to the point of never getting anywhere though. I just try to discover more things in later playthroughs.

And I think Yu will try to keep spoilers to a minimum. I got that impression from some of his answers in interviews.
I myself already doubted if I would try the demo since I don't want to spoil the total experience. Though he can do as some others have done. Those demos allowed them to test enough while giving the players just enough so it represents the game.

Hey, we all need to draw the line somewhere. It's a matter of principles ;)

Can I put in a time off request at work 2.5 years in advance?

One thing I do know, the day Shenmue 3 comes out, I will be booking that day off work (or maybe the week...) too ;-)

Oh I shall just relax and go at my own pace. I won't hold back on every story point just to fish for every single little extra but I won't be rushing through the story either. I'll just embrace it as I go and see what appeals to me upon playing it.

Slowly. Very slowly. I want to enjoy every second and try hard to find every tiny little detail and side mission.

It will literally be about 2-3 months after the game is released that I even start my reply of Shenmue 1, I reckon. I can totally relate to that guy who said he's been waiting all these years to finally finish Shenmue 2 (but how diligent must he have been to avoid spoilers?!?). Whenever something I've waited for so long for finally comes along, I always want to wait as long as possible before I enjoy it (when I finally get a girlfriend, she'll waiting years before we "get it on"), I just want to enjoy it's existence, and I think Shenmue 3's existence will indeed be an existence worth savoring. It'll feel like you're one of those crazy guys who've spent years looking for a big foot, and then you finally find the furry guy! Or like you're a homeopath whose just found hard cold scientific evidence that water does have a memory. The latter would be a very great day for me too.

I to be somewhat of a completionist when I play most games, and Shenmue is best played at a deliberate pace, so I definitely wouldn't rush it. I'd most definitely have to stay away from forums like this when it comes out though. I don't want to be spoiled, and I want to go through this as if I am the character, much like how it felt to play 1 and 2.

I will likely play it ravenously, probably beating it in a day or two depending on its length. I've been waiting for this game so long that I can't see it being any other way :)

For those of us who are going to take it slow, the bad ending should be our goal the first play through.
