Are you still hyped?

(Chapter 7 and beyond)

Are you still hyped?

Postby King John Blaze » Thu Jan 19, 2017 11:12 am

My love for Shenmue is so much that even my own mother knows I have been waiting for this game for literally most of my life. However, as the years went pass with games like Mass Effect, BioShock and Metal Gear coming to the stage, I have had a fill of top quality games that I have emotionally invested in. With that said, Shenmue is without a doubt my favorite game and best gaming experience I have ever had. The day Shenmue 3 was announced I felt emotional, beamed off an massive smile while on train and for that whole day nothing could get be down (even with my depression).

However, I am at a point where I just want it to be over with. I want Shenmue 3 to be the last Shenmue. I don't want to do that wait again.

Sure.

Not 24/7, but occasionally I get a flash-spark reminder of "we're getting a new Shenmue" that gives me the warm fuzzies.

But if you want III to be the last, well... unfortunately you're not going to get your wish.

Personally, I feel fine knowing this isn't the end. Rushing the series to an unnatural end isn't real closure at all, it's just disappointment. I'm glad Yu decided not to compromise on his vision in that respect.

How could I not be hyped still? E3 2015 was truly the E3 of dreams.

I've been waiting 15 years to continue the story and we finally get too! :D

My wife knew how much I wanted the continuation and for my birthday gave me the green light to put $100 on the Kickstarter the night it was announced. She rolls her eyes often at my gaming, but knew how much the series meant to me.

I can't wait for the third.

I'm hoping the 4th game will be the final so that we get an ending.

I'm mellow at the moment, bit I get little bursts of excitement thinking about June. When E3 comes around the hype will be erratic.

I'm basically hyped at the end of each month and around big events.
(actually, before more than after unfortunately :lol: )

As for Shenmue 3 not being the last chapter in the Series, I'm happy and worried at the same time.

Happy because Yu will not rush the story.
Worried because I fear about how long we could wait for Shenmue 4.

Hyped is an understatement. When E3 happened, I warned my friends that my exorbitant love of Shenmue would surface more often, and in a much more annoying manner. They weren't prepared. I finally got one of them to start playing to shut me up. Turns out he's finding himself really enjoying it (I can't wait until he sees how much bigger Shenmue II is). Unfortunately, I'm still driving him crazy by bugging him to play it each time we hang out (But hey, it doesn't take too much arm twisting, so it can't be that annoying, right).

Calling me "hyped" about Shenmue 3 would be the understatement of the year. There's no way to describe how "hyped" I am and the hype is growing every day the release of S3 draws nearer. I kind of enjoy looking forward to the game though, now that it's officially been announced. Still, the day I'll play S3 for the very first time will probably be one of the happiest in my life so far.

I am so hyped everyday, and it will stay that way. I am so happy to be getting Shenmue 3 fullstop.

lol I'm in the same boat :P
I have always talked about Shenmue since... well... since forever ago, but since E3, I have been bringing it up more often. I am now banned from using the word Shenmue and have to think of genius ways to sway the conversation in this direction. I find it hilarious! Once of my mates ended up watching a full Shenmue 1 and 2 playthrough on youtube, and told me he understands why I love it so much.

I also have changed our Discord channels logo to the Shenmue Logo, but they are yet to notice as of yet :D!

I'm very much looking forward to it, but I'm strangely content and settled. Compared to how utterly dizzy I was in the run-up to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, I feel very little for Shenmue III. I'm sure the excitement will begin to pick up closer to launch.

Once we see actual gameplay footage, the title of this thread won't even be a question anymore.

My hype is in hibernation mode. I just check it for vital signs every end of a month. =)

He's obviously doing it wrong.

Remember, the only people who will like Shenmue today are those nostalgic from playing it 15 years ago. This is common knowledge, and the wisdom of crowds is always correct.
