yakuza's dicking around is nowhere near as pointlessly in depth as shenmue's, it just has a big world you can wander around and do minigames in while shenmue asks you to do minigames for six hours until you figure out how to progress

yeah. i bought shenmue 2 preowned and didn't really see the big deal outside of the open world. meanhile yakuza has a similar structure but it's much more fun to play.

also the yakuza 2 remake has playable virtual on which makes it even better

Isn't the Yakuza series basically the true successor to Shenmue anyway?
common myth. the true follow up to shenmue is gone home, or else heartbreak

I wouldn't say true successor as much as it simply being superior in every shape and fashion.

Shenmue but once you get your forklift certification you're required to buy your girlfriend one of those weirdly specific shirts that goes like "My boyfriend is a material handler and he can beat anybody at Afterburner, and in a real fight" or something.

they should make the shenmue anime a chill slice of life show, but all the episode previews are just martial arts intrigue plot progression

I think shenmue 3 is bad for, not advancing the story at all and also not being faithful enough, to 1 and 2 gameplay

yu suzuki is a brave man, i didn't expect shenmue 3 to finish the story based on the scope of what he wanted shenmue to be, thats just not even remotely possible. but also, within the scope of shenmue, shenmue 2 is three or four Chapters out of however many chapters yu suzuki is saying shenmue encompasses this week and shenmue 3 is like a filler episode that the anime studio scrambles to make when they start catching up with the manga. its not fair to compare the incredible shenmue 2 and the absolutely buck wild last couple hours of that game culminating in that cliffhanger, with an indie kickstarter game but, that is the comparison we were presented with

People talk about how long Inuyasha is, but Kagome got back to the present in episode 3, the show's over before it even begins.

Yeah, it was really fun. Probably the first game I got all the achievements in. Also, probably the only game with a protag name that's close to my IRL one which was cool.

binged a bunch of dragon maid s2 and it's like 60% :yikes: and 40% :3:.

I would find it very hard to recommend this to someone new to anime. But it might be fun for someone who already finds Konosuba pretty entertaining. At any rate, I found it pretty good so far but Laid Back Camp S2 is still anime of the year for me.
