Which works great! There's just no way to go back in the menus.

I'm not buying another controller with a stick, I already have an N64!

Yeah, I've been playing it and it's really entertaining. It's a simple enough fps but it's got some unique mechanics that make it more than a tedious head-clicker, and the framing device is fun particularly when it interacts with the landscape.

This game is not only cool but it actually has historic importance. It was the reason Sega came up with an analogue controller back in the day, which then went on to become the basis of the Dreamcast controller, which then went on to be the basis of the first Xbox controller (the Duke), and so on...

And here you are, at the tall end of 2021, trying to play Nights with a 2D controller like some sort of barbarian, SMH.

The Dualshock 1 predated the Dreamcast controller.

If anyone started the analog stick shift, it was the N64, really.

It's got pretty great PvP as well iirc.
E: that might have been the previous game actually?
EE: yep, definitely the original game has the fun PvP. Gunslinger is still very good though.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't pre-date the analog stick controller for the Saturn. You're still right about the N64 though.

To me, NiGhts Into Dreams and Saturn was the "we're all sorry your parents got divorced" combo. We will still smoke your weed and use your dad's hot tub though. Maybe if you weren't so stingy on the E.

Man, kids are awful.

The Dreamcast my kid brother got didn't have a good life either.

Is Shenmue 3 something that people who never played 1 or 2 would like? Cause I got the impression that it's not back when it was a kickstarter.

Shenmue 3 actually rules quite a bit if you have any fondness for 1 or 2. It feels exactly like another one of those.

If you don’t like Shenmue at all then, well, you won’t like 3 either!

The fighting is seriously bad compared to the first two games but otherwise it captures the gameplay and slice of life detail stuff of the first two. It’s worth a try for free and has a recap video if you need to know the gist of the story.

You gotta admire the balls of someone so dedicated to their original vision that they didn’t bite.

Believe in Shenmue. There’s an anime adaptation due out next year. I guess they could finish the story off that way if they needed to.

Sounds like you're not properly admiring those balls if you're considering the possibility of finishing it in an anime rather than waiting 15 years for a new kickstarter retro wave to fund S4 (which also won't be a conclusion).

If you get this and actually play it enough to have a positive opinion it looks like there's DLC that's both initially cheap to begin with and half off until Jan 6.

How many parts was Shenmue originally supposed to be? wasn't it some insane number like 12?

IIRC, twelve chapters split across five games. So, if we are getting the other two games that story will be finished. One day.

I believe.

Oh right, the first one was just the first chapter and then with the second one they realized how insane that was so it was the next three chapters.

It’s incorporated into the second half of the game as an elaborate set of sidequests and it’s entirely passable unless you really loving love making secret coded messages by arranging teacups.
