Probably his stance/body language. Several martial artists have reacted to Ryo in similar ways in Shenmue 1 and especially 2.

Bad localization then, appearance is a word regarding his look, which does not suggest martial artist unless he's stereotyping him as an Asian. "Mannerisms" or "demeanor" would have been better word choices if what you suggest is true.
You know it's a positive thread when there are only two pages instead of ten.
Unfortunately, the positive threads seem to do much worse than the negative threads. :(
I hope people buy this game. I'm already worried about Shenmue IV.
Haha, exactly. I'm a little worried there doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for the game anymore, outside of the core group of fans. I hope they up the marketing efforts. Well, I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth. If all I get is Shenmue 3, so be it. Didn't think I'd ever get it four+ years ago.
Just change Ryo into the Kenpogi GI outfit. There are others throughout the game.

Ahh, now that's an appearance that suggests a martial artist.
I think that's a big point to getting this game made. If this is success then hopefully a publisher picks up a potential 4th game.
I don't understand Kickstarter. How can it be successful when the majority of their fans will already be getting a copy from the campaign?
Who's left to buy it? It can't be that many people.
Not everyone is willing to spend money on a game which will release in years when you can't even know the quality of the end product. Maybe this is a different beast since it's a sequel but it probably still apply.
Critical reception, if appeals to the non hardcore fans and so on.
I hope it sells. I really don't want go through another round of hoping for a new Shenmue. The weirdest games seem to sell these days, so who knows.
Well speaking for myself, I got into the series for the first time last year thanks to the remasters and absolutely adored them. 2 is now one of my favourite games ever. Missed out on kickstarter but will be there day 1 on pc.
The music that plays during at 0:55 when Ryo is walking through the alleyway at night, is that from Shenmue 2 or is it an entirely new composition? Sounds like it was taken straight out of one of the original games.
"this game with tell 40% of the story" that comment bugs me. ill wait to see if this game has a real ending or not before i get it.
It's like a novel in a series of books. It will have an ending but the entire overall story will not play out.
Just buy 2 copies of the game if you're worried.
Remember, if there's 500K of us, 2 copies each means 1 million buys.
But anyways, i'm not really that worried, on NA, UK and Japan the game was at number 1 pre orders at one point on Amazon.
Also releases in China on Nov 19th. It taking place in China might help over there
You'll be disappointed if that's the case. Suzuki would have to cut far too much material to make the story flow properly to end it at this game. Maybe if there's a Shenmue 4 he can examine condensing his story down to just the essentials, but probably not this one.

I was sort of dreading the impending release of this game, since I thought it looked like shit and I'd prefer no Shenmue 3 to a bad one, but I'm actually really liking the way it looks now. It really *does* look like the old games.
Just the little touches like the mechanical car game in the arcade really do a lot to build the world of Shenmue all over again.
And, weirdly, the stilted dialogue. I just hope the combat is better than it looks, since I *loved* fighting in the first two games and this looks...off.
While I'm sure certain aspects will be a bit jank, it's going to be a nice diversion returning to this style of game.
I don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves here, but imagine if this is successful enough for Yu to make a true, AAA Shenmue IV and build on the existing assets/combat.
Speaking in the here and now, I genuinely can't wait. The environments look amazing and I can't wait to just wander around.

Yeah, anyone complaining about Shenmue, AT THIS POINT, has or had absolutely no idea what Shenmue was/is or what to expect in the first place.
This. is. PERFECT.

I honestly dont want a homogenized shenmue experience and thats what AAA means to me. If I want that, I can go play more Yakuza.
Pretty remarkable for its budget. Obviously you're not gonna get Uncharted 4 level character models, but it's looking like the Shenmue III I've been waiting for. The way I see it, I was expecting this game to come for the original Xbox, so this looks better than a Shenmue III we would have got with a larger budget in the sixth or seventh generation of consoles.
Goes to show you how many people ignorant of game development and budgets were only ever interested in shitting on this game.
