most of them are very resistant to even try it or look whats all about, maybe because of how its (gorgeous) graphics look ancient now
I tried to explain younger people than me how great these games are and how rewarding the experience is but they dont seem to understand what Im talking about
Its sad, people dont value a game full of heart and soul like Shenmue or its hidden aspects, Ive seem stupid people playing the same action games with the shoulder camera over and over
I believe every Shenmue fan should buy a copy of Shenmue I & II to a friend and insist to get them to know the game.
So far out of 4 people I tried, only 1 showed interest and added it to her wish list, Im probably buying a copy to her as a gift if she shows any other sign of interest in the game or its story
I think Im making a bit of progress with the 2nd one but she is a fan of Resident Evil modern games and is playing stuff like God of War 2018, ofc these games are not even close to Shenmue I and II greatness but they dont know this, and they will only know after they beat SHENMUE II and wont stop thinking about it
I know because I got into the games only after I was able to break the initial barrier (first one is slow and can be tedious), but this only happened nearly 20 years after the game's release (I was 14 years old when Shenmue 1 was released)
There were times Shenmue II made me rage quit (due to QTE commands) but the anger gone shortly after and the game grown on me and became my favourite ever.
Somebody told me they dont deserve to play Shenmue, but I disagree. Every person in the world deserves.
