LOVE the atmosphere of Shenmue II at night! During the day, not so much though. It kinda lacks that "special something" that really made the first Shenmue for me.
It still really bums me out these games really weren't that successful. It's flawed, but I've never had such a tranquil, yet smooth flowing open world experience. It just... it feels natural. To me, at least.
@@Karakta First i thought, its great as i dont have to learn and memorize all the new moves to be able to beat enemies and the game will be more user friendly. Note that im 20 years older in my 30s so that kinda grind is not really for me anymore. But after a few hours i realized the game just introduced a much more empty, boring grind by just simply leveling up Ryo with boring horse stance and what not. 0 gratification. :( This is what i was happy to do when i was 13 and had the passion to farm XP in Final Fantasy for days to deal with a boss fight.... They should have just kept the old system and introduce easier difficulty levels.
Shenmue 1 and 2, the only games I’ve discovered being already grown and totally binge. No maps, you can talk to anyone, knock on any doors, gotta work if you need money literally a "figure it out yourself" game. Loved it
Who are the 2 idiots who voted this down? The music of Shenmue is, imo, the most overlooked aspect of the series - and this is one of the best tracks across either game.
lol, its good to see there is still hope out there , I remember you commenting on this stuff years ago and yet you are still here , good on you nikki , where are you from ? I am from Dublin Ireland
@ UniverseSix Hit Thanks...that's a good idea! Unfortunately, I don't have a PC and am impatient when playing something on a keyboard (other than chess). Hopefully, Sega makes the remastered version(s) of the first two games and I will buy without hesitation.
Yes. Love this. I especially like that little part from 1:05 - 1:15. Shenmue I & II are my all-time favorite video games. Shenmue III will soon be on that list as well! :)
I would give anything to be around this time again , so carefree , skipping school just to play this , innocent times
Ryan B absolutely, you used the exactly right words for it
All good things must come to an end...
@Sheba Ruth And even the light...
@Sheba Ruth Nice.
@L_SLS Yeah, a hell of a future awaits us... LOL.
This is probably my favorite track in the whole game. Such an underrated masterpiece.
Shenmue 1 and 2 will always be called underrated cult classics IMO.So many memories playing both games. Long live Shenmue!
Amen. These games are so close to my heart and will always be. They define youth, nostalgia and a certain type of melancholy for me.

I know the comment is three years old, but i gotta say i couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, the nights feel really short in Shenmue 2

+elevensixty Wow I can't believe someone beat me to it lol.
On a related note, this is wonderfully atmospheric.
elevensixty Years before synthwave really trended as well.

The Shenmue games had beautiful music didn't they?
totally
Yes but shenmue 3 didn't have that much
@@Marco213s.mexicanpower Shenmue 3 didn't have anything. Not even a decent battle system.

Yeah
Left, left. Right, right, right. We're putting it down!
I remember when I was stuck and I ended up roaming around Fortune's Pier looking for something to do. I always got lost as well somehow.
Shenmue 1 and 2 had awesome music.
I listen to this anytime I study.
This soundtrack is my asmr
Thanks for doing these. Especially now it's extended. Good background.
This is one of the few songs that can put me to sleep and help me sleep cuz I suffer from insomnia it's so soothing and relaxing.
Thanks for these playlists.

Am I the only one who gets a bit depressed by this song (although I like it)
For the millionth time, Sega release the HD collection already.
Gregorio Martinez Wish granted
Yes. Finally Sega listened to us.
It's being released on the 21st of August! Make sure to pre order!
And so they did :-)

the portworkers really make a statement of work there!
Love you ShenmueDojo!!
Shenmue is the best game ever made!
Love your work.
Release Shenmue HD collection.

Would Sega get off its lazy ass and do an HD remaster of 1 and 2 for PSN/Live?! Jesus.....
yes please , I second that for the fifth million time , im 31 now for Christ sake and still waiting ,
They're literally using Ryo's wristwatch as an excuse. Like its so hard to do a simple texture swap to get rid of the Timex logo....
lol, its good to see there is still hope out there , I remember you commenting on this stuff years ago and yet you are still here , good on you nikki , where are you from ? I am from Dublin Ireland
Shenmue III will probably be shipped in late 2018 and we should definatly expect HD remakes a few month before that.
Yep, still waiting on that HD release which will probably never happen.
I tried to play Shenmue 1 the other day and my fucking Dreamcast didn't work. Okay, fine, I'll put on Shenmue 2...nope...Xbox full of red rings.
@ UniverseSix Hit Thanks...that's a good idea! Unfortunately, I don't have a PC and am impatient when playing something on a keyboard (other than chess). Hopefully, Sega makes the remastered version(s) of the first two games and I will buy without hesitation.
...BUT, I will look into it just for Shenmue!
I found it really annoying Sega won't release Shenmue HD.
#shenmue4life
Shenmue HD, please?
#saveshenmue
Where is part 7 of the playthrough?
Is there a rar/torrent somewhere of all the music the Dojo has put together from the games? I'd love to put them on my iTunes :3

I wish there were a version where he were walking around town doing stuff.
Yes. Love this. I especially like that little part from 1:05 - 1:15. Shenmue I & II are my all-time favorite video games. Shenmue III will soon be on that list as well! :)
Is it?)
