Sorry dudes, I was the one who gave you the bunk info about the move scrolls being rewards for finishing the book carrying. I miss-remembered :(

Bunk info..

liking virtua fighter really helps be good at the shenmue fighting, it's pretty much the same thing in terms of basic moves, throws etc.

I don't completely agree. Yeah, they have the punch and kick buttons, and the animations are the same, but the guarding is more of a parry, and the movement is a lot more different.

Also, I forget if it's like that in Shenmue 2, but I'm sure you have to read the move scrolls that you get given by Han to actually learn the move. Same for if you buy moves from the shop in the area down the street from Man Mo Temple (get the Machine Gun Fist because it's REALLY good). It's the shop where the aforementioned Shun scroll is.

Oh, and the next QTE is one of the best in the game, and I have full faith in you guys that you will mess it up.

Soooo... Do half the QTEs in that fight scene not actually change anything? Or is it possible to screw up preceeding QTEs so bad, the watermelon throw actually knocks Ryu out?

In any case, it's nice to know that the kungfu lady is just as much of a creepy stalker as Ryu himself. Also great how Ryu did not notice she was taking out all the goons. WHILE HE WAS DIRECTLY LOOKING AT THEM.

I love watching this horrible dumb game

I'm driving with my mind!
The first time they screwed up the QTE, Ryo kneed the guy in the gut instead of doing his blurry backfist attack thing, and there were other times they screwed up where Ryo just decked the person.

Perhaps given the performance at the start of the video it might be wise to actually play the qte arcade game?

This is why Shenmue's QTEs are good in my opinion, because missing some isn't automatically a fail state, and actually organically alters the scene playing out. Also, the buttons are actually mapped appropriately to their in-game actions.

You guys should try playing darts against that kid sometime.

Also, is there any other game out there that uses a button sequence QTE like Shenmue 2 does? I've never seen another game do that.

Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) takes it to the extreme. I guess that means Heavy Rain counts too.

The lady that smashed Ryu's head in with the lead pipe was actually a transvestite in the original Japanese version. I dunno what it was with evil tranvestites and Japanese game developers during the dreamcast era. Alford Ashford and now this. It was changed to a woman in the US/UK version to make it presumably less offensive. The translators managed to gently caress this up though... one of the characters refers to her as a 'he' in a one or two sentences later on in the game.

How is it less offensive if they're censoring it? Wouldn't it instead make it more offensive because they're denying the existence of such a real type of person? I never understood this mentality of media makers.

Mortal Kombat X's story mode has a QTE for an actual fatality input. Everyone fucks it up because they don't expect it. (I swear I hit the buttons but it still failed me :argh:)

Even if you fail that QTE and the dude just falls down, your character is like "Yeah that guy's dead as poo poo" in the next cutscene.

Don't some of the 3d sonic games do that? I'm pretty sure I've seen something where they'd give you a three button sequence for a qte, in addition to the the regular press a button ones. In unleashed, maybe?

I know the Rush games and I think Generations had the pseudo-QTE thingy where you would be launched through these rings, and if you hit the prompts correctly you would get extra points for style.

I thought that character looked suspiciously flat-chested, given what we've seen of other women in the game.

I like how the devs thinks the players memory is so bad that they'll forget they could sleep in the guesthouse after they (presumably? It was never really confirmed) get kicked out of Li's apartment following her and Ryo's little spat.

Oh well, now that they need money again, maybe we'll see more Delin. :allears:

I think it was less that he was kicked out and more that Ryo doesn't want to be there anymore.

Ah, Yuan. I always loved him because of how arrogant he was, and would then be a complete coward when stood up to. Also, I remembered how many times Ryo says "drat." in this game. He says it more than Ron Simmons does.

In the Rush games and Generations, it was less points for style and more extra boost meter. In Unleashed, it got you to higher routes which generally were faster and gave you more points. Die Hard Arcade is still the best example of QTEs.

Torquemadras

Okay, here's my challenge, you Shenmue experts out there.

Is it possible to fail this series of QTEs in such a specific way, that Ryu is knocked out by that watermelon? Or is it scripted in such a way that you never actually faint from it? Some said earlier the QTE has different branches, but noone said whether you can branch it juuuuuuust right to lose the epic struggle Wood vs. Melon.

Because I need to see Ryu getting knocked the gently caress out by flying fruit.

it's still pretty impressive to see him take a watermelon to the forehead and -not- go down. If I got hit in the head with a watermelon hard enough that it would shatter, it would almost certainly knock me out, if not break my neck.
