It's very dated in some respects, obviously, but man, playing is like a warm bath for my brain. Super relaxing and nostalgic.
So far it feels like the cut corners the right places. :) It's very relaxed, and really feels like what Shenmue III would have, and should have been 15 years ago, but in hd and with a lot more details.
yeah, it dawned on me yesterday while i was on a long drive... we now live in a world where shenmue 3 exists
it's weird, man
It's so weird! I woke up today thinking again that yesterday I started Shenmue III!
My copy should arrive today, still doesn't seem real that we have another Shenmue in 2019.
Yeah, I am at work now, but I can't wait to continue after my children are asleep tonight :)
It's the longest I've ever waited for anything and I'm a Twin Peaks fan but was only a fan for just over ten years since I discovered it later (due to my age when it first came out lol). Loving every last minute of it though so far.
The music is definitely soundtrack of the year potential.
The music is top quality, I love it :)
I finished the game earlier this week as I got it a few days early but I felt exactly the same way as you do. I'm 34 and had to explain to my wife why this game is so special. Everything felt even more surreal as my second kid was born two weeks ago!
I hope that we won't have to wait until 2037 to get Shenmue IV. And I'm pretty confident that we won't.
Salut Romain. J'écoute tous votres podcasts. J'espère que tu as raison, je serais super content si nous recevons un Shenmue IV avant que je sois grand père :)
Still waiting on my backer copy...
Mine was stuck in customs, maybe yours too? I had to pay half the price of the game new to get it out of customs. That + the 250$ I backed it with, still feels like it is totally worth it to me :)
I know that feel with FFVII Remake. Unbe-fucking-lievable.
Oh yeah, that is awesome, a lot of people might feel the same about ff7 remake :)
Yeah, it's crazy. Never thought it would happen until the Kickstarter. It's really impressive what they managed to accomplish on the modest budget, too.
Im a grown ass man and i sat on the main menu for 5 minutes nervous to press new game
This series truly is special and continuously evokes emotion out of you.
Im 30 hrs in and i absolutely love it.
Awesome, I know that feeling :)
One of the most surreal (gaming-related) experiences of my life will forever be selecting 'New Game' on the main menu of Shenmue 3 and seeing the story continue after 18 years of being stuck in that cave. I'm still not sure if the reality of what's happening has completely hit me yet.
Trust me. You're not alone dude.
Thanks, it makes me so happy :)
Yeah, I understand what you mean, I felt the same when I started reading the sequel to Card Captor Sakura lol
Cool, I hope you enjoy Card Captor Sakura as much as I love Shenmue :)
Yes! How did you feel waking up the morning after? :)
It truly feels amazing to come back to it after all this time. There are moments of pure magic in this game, where the rest of reality just melts away.
i am now 30 and i was 12 when i played the first game. Its so hard going to work everyday thinking about this game, i rather work in shenmue's world lol i want someone cheer me on as i split a log in half
I agree with you both, the world of Shenmue is awesome, it is like magic to me. And Shenmue III recreated that Shenmue special magic.
Definitely surreal. A new Half Life announced the same week too. Can't make this shit up.
Haha, that and FFVII remake not being far away? What a time to be alive :)
Thank you everyone being happy together with me. :)
