Shenmue was a sweet game and the Dreamcast is awesome because it is a completely dead console that reads burned CDs and most of the games are smaller than a CD despite being released on GD-ROMs as a copy protection feature

My favorite part is the beginning of shenmue 2 where if you talk to the guy next to the capsule toy machines he says "I've got some sweet info to share with you!" and when you hit A to continue the conversation Ryo repeats "Sweet info.."

Aleuts rock, chummer.

I remember you learn some kind of swallow dive kick or something right before you get into the last fight of the game and the move never worked on the guy you fight. Oh and I got fired from my job as a fork lift driver on Christmas day.

shenmue loving kicked rear end.

never played shenmue 2 though because I didn't have an xbox.

I read on wikipedia that the budget was so high for the game that everyone in the world who owned a dreamcast had to buy like three copies in order for it to turn a profit though.

if you go back to it shenmue has such a weird, depressing atmosphere. there's like zero sense of humour or irony in any of it .kicked seriious rear end though, loved it at the time.

shenmue is like deadly premonition where the weirdness and jank is what makes it so very compelling and memorable.

and then you get chased through the walled city by a person wielding a chainsaw. good fuckin times.

i remember reading at the time that they needed to sell 2 copies of shenmue for every Dreamcast that had been sold in order to turn a profit. :rip:

loving loved that game and was very gratified that we got an EU release of shenmue 2 for the dc cause that game owned too.

IIRC shenmue 2 ended with Ryo getting like some kind of magic powers or discovering magic or something at this like forest place and I was super psyched for the next game but then they never released it.

Holy poo poo, I'm laughing so hard at this. I had completely forgotten about this and Mark being upset over his lunch.

Also, didn't Goro wear assless chaps? Goddamn, no game has ever made me laugh more than fuckin Shenmue.

I not only bought the import of Shenmue 2 for dreamcast, I used the dreamcast's internet ability and a VMU hack to transfer my save from the first one.I think that's the nerdiest thing I've ever done in my life.
