well i hope they do announce the 3rd game, because i just hate things that get left just like that.
ive only just recently replayed thru shenmue 1 & 2, and ive just reached disc 4 on shenmue 2 today and im coming to the same position i was in about a decade ago, i've intentionally got stuck into the game just to be disappointed again, and it's a fucking awesome game, everything from the story to the way its presented, visually and all, even though it's not technically a huge open world, it leads you to believe the whole world is out there, like now im in guillin, even though im on a set path and cant really explore anywhere but that set path, i still get the impression that im in a vast rural area, even though i cannot explore everywhere, i dont need to if you get my drift.
well anyway, i cant wait to meet shenhua and make my way up the mountain and through the forest once again, only to get stuck in a cave and literally reach a dead end but oh well, thats shenmue...
ah i dont know, i guess life is unfair.
just to add, i think it's got to the stage now, where if Yu Suzuki KNOWS full well, and by that i mean with absolute certainty that shenmue 3 will never, ever, in a million fucking years never... become a video game, then at least give us the rest of the story via manga, and if he can't even find the means to have that done, then just give us the script for us to read and at least let us build the picture in our heads, because i'd rather that than nothing. its a annoying to have a story just get blown away in the wind, he even has the story completed, and truthfully, i really only want to experience it via computer game, not in any other form, but when it comes to last resorts anything will have to do.
