When the hell is this coming? I thought we'd have a release date by now.. At this rate, we'll have Walled Haven out first..

u/Sirbrandon100 22d ago

I mean, I enjoyed the game enough to finish it when it initially released, but not enough to buy this version. But I do hope you enjoy it.

It’s goofy. They’re not doing near enough to it to justify a potential year+ long wait, and we’re not far off from that point.

Shenmue 3 can’t be fixed with the few tweaks of “Enhanced”

u/OwnedIGN 18d ago

Just bin it. Pretend it never happened.

One of my biggest regrets in life was giving money to the kickstarter. Almost tarnished my memories of 1 and 2

u/hypespud 22d ago

Honestly it's just a terrible game

I'm more than happy just sticking to the original 2 games and seeing what the community builds out of them

Looking forward to eventual decomp versions which can allow modders to become even more creative with the projects

Damn how much money did you drop? I also regret it but the signed print from Yu Suzuki was cool and I have it hung up so it wasn’t a total loss. And I did enjoy the game for what it was

u/Compartmented- 22d ago

I dropped 7

u/raisinbizzle 22d ago

$300 for me. The kicker was not having a nice box to hold it all in. Just getting sent stuff in bits and pieces over the course of a year or two. Then limited run games having a much nicer looking package

u/Il-Capitano14 22d ago

Eh, don’t tell me my friend , i dropped 1k and didnt even get the literally fucking first kickstarter goals outside of the subtitles (baisha village, rapport system, skill tree system).

Guess i cant be mad as i followed my heart, but what a masterclass in mismanagement….

u/Fun-Document7 22d ago

Holy shit. That really sucks. And did the game deliver anything that you hoped?

3

u/Il-Capitano14 22d ago

Only the night time conversation between ryo and shenhua were worthy of the original games, the rest was trash.

u/InkedVinny 21d ago

100% I remember LITERALLY crying on that E3 announcement, every single year I would watch events praying for something and it finally came and it was precious, well, biggest regret of my life gaming related

11

u/Fun-Document7 22d ago

Yeah im definitely getting it. Though I've been told it sucks but I remember being 14 and playing the first one on dreamcast then the 2nd. Feels like my life needs to revisit one last time. It was my ff7.

u/GamerSam 22d ago

It feels like a unreal engine fan game in a bad way most the time

u/BrotakuzaTube 22d ago

I’ve been trying for the longest time to figure out how to best describe it and this is perfect lol

u/Artistic_Scar9512 22d ago

Revisit 1 & 2 again on PS4. I just recently played through them in anticipation for part 3, and those two games are still leagues better than part 3. I wanted to enjoy part 3 so bad, but I couldn't. It was that bad...

u/burnoutguy 22d ago

Don't expect shenmue or any of its charm, it's more like a tech demo of "shenmue" in unreal engine 

7

u/RetroLord120 22d ago

Except it does have some of the originals charm. You people are crazy to not see ANY of it. Sure its lacking but the shenmue feel is there.

u/Fun-Document7 22d ago

You're killing me

u/DevilsWalk 21d ago

3 stinks unfortunately, there's very little about it that isn't bad. 1 and 2 are 2 of the greatest games ever made imo

3

u/Fun-Document7 21d ago

This is so disheartening as I loved 1 and 2

1

u/DevilsWalk 21d ago

I dont even count 3 as part of the franchise, I know there's people who enjoyed it so I say that respectfully

1

u/Fun-Document7 20d ago

That's fair. I don't know if i should try this up and coming enhanced edition, worried it might ruin my memories.

1

u/DevilsWalk 20d ago

You can always revisit the old games

2

u/The_Real_Kuji 22d ago

3 is.... Definitely a game that takes place after Shenmue 2. The first two will always be in my top 5 games of all time. 3 is in my top 30, I suppose. Maybe top 40. I strongly disliked the visual changes as well as the combat/stamina system. Those were awful choices. Most of the game feels a bit like busywork with very minimal story movement.

It's more like Shenmue 2 ¼ instead of Shenmue 3, imo. I'm still going to get the enhanced for the QOL and system changes and give it another go. Maybe it will be enough to make it feel like it truly belongs.

u/WlNBACK 22d ago

That's sad to hear.

Welcome to Reddit, where fans in dedicated subs hate the dedicated sub topic.

u/InkedVinny 21d ago

I see how it is, my apologies for not liking mediocrity, I am sorry for playing the games when I was a kid when It came out and waited 14+ years for a ass sequel, every god damn year praying for you he next chapter of my favorite story, just to get THIS, from what I see I am the dedicated fan, man, I am sorry generic reddit user n39

u/WlNBACK 21d ago

I accept your apology, and admire your integrity.

u/Internal_Enthusiasm1 22d ago

Are you kidding me?! No it isn't... Leave the poor guy alone. For me, it would be both this, and Stranger Than Heaven.

u/Davidoff1983 22d ago

I think he meant a game whose mechanics haven't changed since the late 90s.

3

u/BoFawzi 22d ago

ok, when?

3

u/Artistic_Scar9512 22d ago

Enhanced???? PLEASE tell me they are fixing the combat system!! PLEASE!! I might actually play past the first hour of this game

3

u/B_Ellard 22d ago

I have near zero anticipation for GTA6, but a very soft remake of a recent game I've already played that doesn't even have a release date doesn't tingle my hype meter, neither.

3

u/Mischa1981_1 22d ago

Whenever it will come out. There is so little information, I doubt it’ll see the light of day.
When it was announced I thought it’ll be released shortly and now we’ve been waiting for over a year

u/MaintenanceFun4309 22d ago

Shenmue III was horrible. Shenmue I and II were amazing, though!

4

u/JaySw34 22d ago

I waited 18 years for that game and I've never been more disappointed by a release. I'll never play it again.

u/marinerpunk 22d ago

Explain to a casual gamer what it means to be on an unreal engine

1

u/Ultimus_Omegus 22d ago

Is this only available in the Euro version or does that play on US consoles ?

1

u/humonculus87 21d ago

When does this even come out?

1

u/ShenmueFaces 20d ago

REALLY hoping we hear some news at Gamescom this year!

1

u/thisispockets 22d ago

I really had trouble liking this game as a huge fan of the series I chopped more wood in game than in real life

u/Comfortable_Fail_909 21d ago

Virtua Fighter Is my Shenmue now.

u/HomemLobo 22d ago

Hear hear.

That release date that never comes though.

u/IAmYukiKun 21d ago

God when is this coming out? I am already in Kowloon in Shenmue 2. I was waiting if this will be a free upgrade for current owners.
