      He's also clearly taking out revenge on Hazuki for killing a man named Zhao. Zhao is important enough to Lan Di that he wants to kill Hazuki, but also must know that he gave Hazuki a chance to defend himself. Fair and square. Lan Di didn't kill Hazuki like a coward. Totally honorable

      really good point.
      Japanese do love the symbolism of a scar
      . A physical sign of a wound suggests a possibility of unbalanced bitterness in character - in this case, a lesson for the pursuit of revenge.

  • @pumpkinhill4570
    @pumpkinhill4570 3 месяца назад +1

    Playing this teenager about to set out into the world as a teenager about to set out into the world was a fundamental experience for a lot of us I think. You had your whole life ahead of you, and the world was big. Maybe bigger than it is now for kids with smartphones. If you were wandering dark streets at night (and you weren’t a karate expert) you had only your wits to rely on.
    But a romantic sense of adventure called you forth, pushed on and inspired by childhood experiences like playing Shenmue. I feel like each one of us wound up somewhere interesting in life. There’s time to have another deep drink of it though, and to be true to the optimistic, nervous, and wide-eyed youth you can still remember.

    This game made me so emotional. I remember first playing this and it was just so intense from the jump. The music is amazing. I remember seeing Lan di and saying "this guy is going to be a problem." Then he kills your pop. It was like a movie. The first time I ever experienced a game like this. From the very start this game makes you catch feelings and it's a roller-coaster ride from the end. I was so attached to the characters. I didn't want it to end. It's so nostalgic looking back. I was 13 or 14 when it came out. It's truly one of the best games ever made.

  • @WaldoBagelTopper
    @WaldoBagelTopper 4 месяца назад +1

    The Lan Di character is a HUGE part of what attracted me to this game. This game, without a doubt, is within the top 3 gaming experiences of my life. I in fact, depending on what we're measuring, it's the number 1 gaming experience of my life. It is the first of this game play style that I experienced. I had to be 14, but the things this game did to make me feel accomplished were just seared into my memory.
    First, it made me feel accomplished by doing investigative work and following leads until I find certain people. That was just never an experience I had in a game before that. I felt like I was in an 80s action movie. The aesthetics of the game were just next level at the time. And playing with a real world time system was just something else. Having to be places at certain times. Falling short of an investigation and having to go home with the feeling of "I gotta continue tomorrow". Being outside in Japan at night- as an American boy, it made me feel like I was a "dangerous man of the world". Sometimes when I had time to kill, I read my notes and tried to piece the story along while I wait for a shop to open or some guy I was looking for.
    Second, they made a hero that would have resigned with any of the target demographic of the time- Kids. Ryo was a kid, just like us. He was cool, he knew how to fight. He was smart. You know damn well none of us would be out at some dangerous docks fighting bikers at 9 something at night lol.
    But chasing down Lan Di from Japan to China was one of the coolest gaming adventures I ever had.
