Reminds me of the time when Game was really quiet all day, and in the afternoon we tried to drum up trade by standing in the doorway and shouting "how about a game of lucky hit? Big or small?"
Just taken a break from playing Shenmue II, when I found this video and thought it was great. Then I thought "Heh, it's funny how different Sainsbury's stores look alike. That looks just like my local one. And that bridge looks just like one near me. And that Natwest looks just like- OH, THEY'RE IN LANCASTER!"
Karasuat... I bet you were still wearing nappies and sucking you thumb when Shenmue was released, you will never ever experienced the beauty of this magnificently underrated game. The first game where you can work to earn money, go to local "you arcade" spend all day and night there, and go to the park and trained up your martial art skill. This game took me to another world like no other game has ever done... And never will another!! You just don't know young ass boy!!!
I've always been interested in Shenmue, but I've never played the games, so I'm not really sure if this is something I'd like. I can kind of empathize with Shenmue fans, though - I would support a #SaveViewtifulJoe campaign in a heartbeat. I need that third game in the VJ trilogy, and I need it bad!
Yes, let's campaign for the second sequel to a poorly selling series whose first game bankrupted SEGA! This is precisely why you don't leave your story on a cliffhanger, that's bad storytelling 'cough every Golden Sun game 'cough'.
The original actually sold very well and was one of the best selling Dreamcast games. It just didn't match it's gargantuan budget. And the sequel was hindered by obvious reasons, nothing to do with the game itself. Shenmue III would undoubtedly cause a stir, enough to sell very well w/a modest budget. It's a better investment right now than gambling on a brand new series.
If they ever make a a third, these are exactly the guys who will be crying it wasn't good enough, it wasn't true to the originals, it wasn't worth the wait, I hope it never gets made.
Even if this does happen, Yu Suzuki (the original creator of Shenmue) no longer works for Sega. In other words there is no guarantee that the finished product would be anything that Yu Suzuki had in mind.
In an ideal situation, Sega would just give the licence back to Yu, seeing as SEGA don't want Shenmue and he does... then he can approach any studio he wants with a proposal. Probably won't happen, but that doesn't mean that the Shenmue community will give up!
Love the comments stating overrated. Overated would be all these braindead first person shooters that get released over and over. Nothing quite like listening to screaming kids through your headset to feel alive aye! If this series was over rated then we would be seeing too many adaptions released that it would eventually kill it for us. For a console that sold poorly after release due to sony unveiling it's next console and it's capabilities plus the fact the dreamcast lacked third party support compared to others, not because of 1 game, shenmue sold rather decently.
Matt Bell Still, not enough to make back that production cost though. I mean it would have to have sold 2 copies for Dreamcast purchased just to break even. It was never going to make that money back. I think you forgot about Yakuza. Also, look up 'adaptation' in the dictionary. It is overrated. It is one of the most overratter games in existence and has only gotten worse with age. There is virtually no gameplay at all.
How about 'no?' You cry out for a sequel to a game that was so expensive it was never going to break even let alone make a profit. A badly designed and paced game. You all so badly need to move on and realize the stupidity of this.
Have you taken your pills this morning? I play alot of things. What's wrong with sharing a few replays? I don't quite understand your point there. But I guess you are either crazy, stupid, or massive troll. Anyway, it has aged horribly. The pacing is almost non existent and the game itself is lacking. It really talks to a game's quality when even it's fans don't talk about the actual gameplay 10 years after it's release. You know, when the only thing that comes up are forklift trucks, gashapon, 80's arcade games, and sailors (the pointless distractions and an unfunny joke). It was always a bad game but it just got alot worse with age. You probably lament the current state of Sega but guess what? It's Shenmue's fault. Chew on that for a while.
Man Shenmue idiots always say the same thing in their stupidity... I don't play COD. Never had. War shooters just don't interest me. While Shenmue was out I was playing PSO and Power Stone 2. Also you the only two-year-old right now is the guy throwing insults and assumptions for what was simple criticism of a game and a foolhardy campaign to give it a sequel. There are slow paced games and there are games that make you wait in 6 hours real time to progress. Open world in games in general have massive issues with pacing and Shenmue is a textbook example of this. Anyway, Sega lost alot of money on Shenmue. If every Dreamcast owner had bought 3 times over it would not have broken even. Along with a couple of really stupid business decisions is what has put Sega where they are. You really haven't countered any of the points I have made here. You continue to act as if I have punched your sainted mother. you also appear to have very little understanding of what you are talking about. However, please keep going this shit is gold.

Love the comments stating overrated. Overated would be all these braindead first person shooters that get released over and over.

Guys, this is amazing. I wish so bad that we can get more of Shenmue...
Why so short? This video deserves to be 60 mins long!!! Kudos to your efforts!! #saveshenmue
Your lack of Shenmue caused you to throw away your Manshoe
This is excellent. Good job guys.
Reminds me of the time when Game was really quiet all day, and in the afternoon we tried to drum up trade by standing in the doorway and shouting "how about a game of lucky hit? Big or small?"
This. Is. Genious.
Never really got into Shenmue, but this video made me homesick as fuck, so it gets my vote!
Good stuff, guys!
The pain of waiting is over now.. drink a cool bevarage of Jet Cola to celebrate, "Ooowaaaahh"........ (gulp) ...."ahhh good"
LMFAO!!!
This is hilarious! Loved the part where the shop keeper said there is no winning ticket. They just do it o get him through the door lol
Very well done. Love it!
I have given up on ever getting a part 3 but I would like a novel just to wrap up the story.
+Steve & Paul this must have made you guys so happy now ken can finally be cured

Best of luck, lads...
How about a game of Lucky Hit?

Totally agree with you either that guy is completely stupid or he is just trolling
Timii240830 Nope. I'm probably older than you. Again you go on about the pointless distractions and not the actual gameplay.
That's a really great video loved it!!!! I'm also a huge Shenmue fan!!!!! Are you guys part of the Shenmue500K group on facebook????
Haha this use to make me laugh and make me sad too before Shenmue 3 was announced!
shame it took me so long to see this. great vid
I LOVE SHENMUE!!!!!! :)
Haha! I loved it!
It is time for a part two of this video.
I've always been interested in Shenmue, but I've never played the games, so I'm not really sure if this is something I'd like. I can kind of empathize with Shenmue fans, though - I would support a #SaveViewtifulJoe campaign in a heartbeat. I need that third game in the VJ trilogy, and I need it bad!
Haha awesome guys :P
Shenmue 3 will raise once Half Life 3 is born
Never.

Hilarious
Lance Dee ahahaha
Yeah save a game that will never happen. Seriously, grow up and get over it. It was overrated then and has aged horribly. Move on
YOU NEED TO SHUT THE FU*K UP IF YOU HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY & LEAVE SHENMUE FANS ALONE! WE CAN STILL DREAM-CAST!!
