Had a stupid thought, is it possible those playing from a disc install have issues with glitchy cutscenes and maybe those with a digital download don't? I'm on disk and I had the cutscene glitch like literally three times in the first 20 minutes of playing yet others are not getting g issues at all..

I just can't do a playthrough right now until this is fixed, I want to get engrossed in the game and story and not be worrying about missing important cutscenes and restarting from a previous save hoping it will work the next time.

How do you feed the kitten? I have dried fish and milk, but no option to give them to the kitten.

Stand in front of the kitten, open your inventory, select the food, and then hit the button one more time once you have it selected.

I don't know if I have lost my touch or anything but I can't seek to do any of the moves inputs, am I going to slow or to fast?

Use the D-Pad during fights. Much easier than the stick. Especially motions like forward, forward, back, punch and things like that.

I have a digital download on PS4 and cutscenes are also massively glitching for me.
I've noticed other weird glitches and things to, like the Alex Kidd figure being completely invisible in game and in the model viewer, thought Ryo got scammed or something when he took nothing out of the capsule lol.

It's kind of weird that nothing but Ryo has shadows. Ryos shadow is also really not good.

Also anyone know why stick isn't run for me on PC? I still need to use the trigger and there doesn't seem to be an option for stick to run.

What console are you guys using?

I'm digital download on PS4 Pro and have had zero cutscene glitches. Plenty of glitches with missing sound effects though.

The Netherlands
Literally no store in my city had a copy of the game today. Even the game store we have over here (Gamemania) didn't get any copies. They told me they will get theirs on thursday, but won't be allowed to sell them until friday for whatever reason (the releasedate is the 21st in the Netherlands, it's already available on PSN), and every Gamemania store will only get one copy of the game per platform... They really don't want this game to sell, do they? I managed to order one online (even then not every webshop in the Netherlands has copies of the game in stock) that will be here in the morning, but still... I know it's a niche game, very niche probably, but shouldn't every store that sells games have at least one copy in stock?

So, looking at the Steam page, I just realized something: why the heck is there no way to switch to the Japanese interface and Japanese subtitles? You can do that for every single supported language except Japanese. Why?!

I downloaded it and I've gotten it twice. Definitely the most serious bug I've encountered, hopefully they're working on it.

The option doesn't show in the button diagram in the corner, but if press the "action/confirm" button (X in the PS4, the equivalent "action" button if you're playing someplace else) on the item when near the kitten you will feed it.

How do I buy stuffs instead of asking about chinese people?

Are your taking about at restaurants and grocery stands?

You can really only buy things from the Tomato Convenience store in Dobuita and Abe store in Sakuragaoka.

Also you can buy some move scrolls at an antique store. And you can go to a fortune teller as well for hints of you're stuck or help with which machine to use in the slot house.

Maybe boost mode might be causing issues since there isnt specific pro support.

I'm using boost with no issues.

If any of you are doing a first play through, you have no idea the greatness that awaits....................remember this came out in late 1999.

Played about 6 hours on PC and had no issues whatsoever, other than one minor cutscene where npcs didn't move their mouths while talking for a few seconds.

During the last ingame day I had to go to a place that opens at 2pm, went in, they told me to go to another place the next day, so I had to wait until night with pretty much nothing to do in order to be able to sleep. That wasn't great so I hope it won't happen too often. Very, very little combat yet, so I don't know about that. It seems decently complex but it seems to lack oomph.

One big issue so far, I can't change the key bindings using a pad, since it only shows kb/m prompts and changing those does nothing on pad. I'd really like to switch look and run to the bumpers instead of having them on the triggers.

Wait, I tried to talk to the old lady and the girl at the convenience store too. Do I need to talk to them multiple times?

PS4 Pro disc version and one tiny glitch at bed time thats all so far for me.

One thing i do wish that i think happens in the dreamcast version was the QTE button prompts would flash. Here they are solid.

I swear I failed the QTEs so many times as a kid. Unless they have made them easier I guess having QTEs in every other game since has helped with that

In order to buy things? You just pick them up off the shelf. Ryo will bring them over to the clerk if you decide to buy.

Have you been using the trigger button to zoom in on things? I know the game doesn't explicitly tell you that you can do that, but that's how you do most of your interaction with objects, zoom in. It's how you open all the drawers in the Hazuki home for instance.

How did i feed the cat the milk?

Also i think there's a third flashback , no? I got the kitchen table and the tree outside.

Stand in front of the kitten, pull up inventory, choose the food, press the action button again. (X on PS4 for instance)

Look at the scrolls in the Dojo...

Dojo flashback is only available on the first in game day. And it's actually not the scrolls, it's the framed message up high on the left wall when you're walking in.

Anyone notice the dialog audio changes sometimes? Like sometimes it's muffled, and then the next sentence it sounds a lot clearer but with heavier audio artifacts. I'm using the Japanese audio.

Is anyone here playing this series for the very first time out of curiosity?

If so, how are you finding it? How does it hold up?

I've never played Shenmue and barely knew it was a thing until I saw the Shenmue 3 announcement and the rerelease of 1 & 2. I'm so curious but I fear these won't hold up. Especially since I'm knee-deep in Yakuza right now.

Any first-timers care to share their thoughts?

I missed the dojo scroll. Is there an achievement locked for it?

There's a new thread for precisely that purpose!

First-time Shenmue players, your thoughts and impressions?

Playing this for the first time and I'm kind of underwhelmed. I'm asking everyone around town about the black car and the voice acting is brutal. It's probably funny for nostalgia but it's starting to become unbearable for me.
