First, I apologize for not knowing how to express myself properly. My English is bad.
I always heard about Shenmue. About the importance and how it was a milestone for games. Also, Ryu Ga Gotoku/Yakuza, my favorite series, is often compared to Shenmue. The truth is that these games have many more differences than similarities. Shenmue is unique.
I just finished Shenmue II yesterday for the first time. That was just beautiful. Magic. I loved playing that game. It was a similar experience, but at the same time different from the first Shenmue. These games really put you in the shoes of the protagonist in a way that few games can. I plan to start Shenmue III tomorrow, knowing that it had a mixed reception from players. I also want to watch the anime. I only watched the first episodes and loved it. Almost perfect.
I must say I'm happy to finally experience Shenmue, but at the same time sad because of the state of the franchise. Will we ever see the end of the story? Would you be satisfied if it were completed in anime form? And what do you think of a remake? Perhaps, the best option would be a remake/modernization. Don't get me wrong, I played Shenmue for the first time this year and had no problem, but I believe that not everyone can appreciate games that are considered dated. Perhaps it would be a way for Shenmue to rise from the ashes like a phoenix.
Thank you very much.
