It’s like when I’m at the point in the story looking for the Rose Garden like Ryo doesn’t know what or where it is, even though I’ve spent days prior to this story point kicking mega ass there already.
This kind of thing isn’t new though. This kind of thing happened a lot in the first few games too. Remember how Tom has no memory of the black car until Nozomi tells you to that he argued with the driver or how Ryo is told that Charlie has a tattoo about 20 times before he finally decides to check out the tattoo parlor?It’s like when I’m at the point in the story looking for the Rose Garden like Ryo doesn’t know what or where it is, even though I’ve spent days prior to this story point kicking mega ass there already.

No, they aren’t.
This man right here gets Shenmue! Hits the nail right on the head! I think that’s why I’ve always partially loved Shenmue. I grew up with a love of Sierra adventure games (I grew up with the Police and Space Quest series) and to some degree, Shenmue did feel like an evolution of the adventure game. I think that’s why it clicked for me all those years ago and why I instantly became a fan. Nice to see it described in video form though...but yeah, THIS is why I scoff when people tell me Yakuza is like Shenmue...because it ain’t...it really ain’t. (I know, I’m preaching to the choir, but I thought this video was worth a look...sorry if it’s been posted before)
I agree about some others, but Tom clearly sound suspicious and seem to know something that he don't want to talk about at first, and it's when Ryo come back to tell him that nozomi heard a rumor about him having an argument with the black car that he reluctantly say what he know.This kind of thing isn’t new though.

Ryo has a hard time remembering things. We see this many times throughout the game. Seems to have forgotten everything Zu Yuanda told him in S2.
Eithe
Me too man! I grew up with point and click adventure games starting with Monkeys Island, Loom, Kings Quest V, Ecoquest, Blue Force, Zork, Space Quest IV. My best memories were the fantastic artwork and exploring.
I still play modern adventures, recent ones being broken sword, the pillars of the earth, a new beginning, the moment of silence, nibiru etc.
At least on hard mode I can confirm this didn't happen in the watch-tower puzzle. I failed an embarrassing amount of times before I figured out what the paper was telling me to do...Ryo immediately revealing the solution after I fail the puzzle for the first time

"Shenhua, what is Hermit's Nest like?" - Ryo
And then he tells Shenhua he's already been there.
Gotta love that localization.
I can't believe some of the things you guys are choosing to nitpick over with this game. As if this never happened in the first two games?! The only difference is that Ryo very rarely acknowledged that he already knew something about whatever he was asking about. So to me, this is actually an improvement.It’s like when I’m at the point in the story looking for the Rose Garden like Ryo doesn’t know what or where it is, even though I’ve spent days prior to this story point kicking mega ass there already.
just cause its a problem in the first game doesn't mean its excusable for a sequel to do it, and terrible localization that likely has led to harsher review scores and caused a plothole is far from a nitpick. The game's translation was very bad and if it werent for the occasional machine translated game we get every now and again, id say its the worst in recent years.I can't believe some of the things you guys are choosing to nitpick over with this game.
