7/31/2023 0 Comments Shenmue 3 looks bad![]() ![]() The man can’t run for half a mile without basically running out of health in its entirety. ![]() There is still a dedicated button to running, and Ryo depletes his health meter by doing so as if he was suffering from a severe case of munchies. Ryo still controls like a 1940’s Jeep with a flat tire. When I say “plays like Shenmue“, I mean that the game’s controls are as terrible as the ones featured in Shenmue. I need to praise him and his team for doing so, but at the same time, I feel like he hasn’t paid attention to the evolution of gaming ever since the release of Shenmue II. That’s good, right? Yu Suzuki kept his promise of delivering exactly what fans have been waiting for. ![]() Shenmue III, for all intents are purposes, plays like Shenmue. What I need to talk about is how this game operates on a technical level, and honestly, this is where everything crumbles down to a nearly disastrous degree.ĭid you like opening drawers for no reason in Shenmue? You can open even more this time around! Shenmue III is all about the plot, and talking about it here would make me the biggest douche on Earth. While the storytelling is fine, I’m not going to dive deep into it. What bummed me about Bailu and its neighboring villages was that they didn’t feel “alive” as previous Shenmue locales. Size wasn’t exactly my biggest concern, though. When compared to Shenmue‘s Yokosuka or Shenmue II‘s Hong Kong, the village is smaller, and the scopes are also smaller. The village of Bailu, as well as other towns surrounding it, is where you’ll spend most of your time. Which is still, by far, the best thing about this game, just like its predecessors. It respects its target audience like very few games out there when it comes to its storytelling. Yu Suzuki is basically delivering the same story he has been craving to tell ever since the release of the previous Shenmue games. The game starts off the second the other game ended, with Ryo and Shenhua inside that same cavern, followed by them looking for her father in the village of Bailu, just like Shenmue II had set up. It’s a game made for those who have been salivating for a continuation of Shenmue II‘s cliffhanger ending ever since 2001. How long have I waited to see you two again! ![]()
