Random Shenmue Thoughts

Shenmue pin confirmed


Came here to mention the same thing. šŸ˜†

It's always great to see new Shenmue merch coming out, but personally I'm not very impressed with this pin. I love pins, but it lacks color and it seems too big for my taste. I think I'll let this one go.
 
Bought it. Hopefully it'll bring me some comfort in a cold and indifferent Universe.
 
I've noticed that if you buy 2x or more the price goes down to Ā£1.99 each! The deal is meant to be purchased with another item but if you just buy two the deal activates :p
I bought one and still got it for Ā£1.99. I also noticed that at least one part of the website has lorem-ipsum filler text on it. Doesnā€™t seem like it was put together that well.

Dropped by the neighbors' US football potluck; while catching up with a closer neighbor, I overheard his young sons/their friends discussing today's episode of Game Grumps about playing Forklift Simulator. I asked one of them if they had heard of Shenmue, and they all looked confused.
...I'm now signing up to become a monk at Man Mo Temple, as to control my sadness.

(I couldn't bare much of this, but for any interested:)

Doesnā€™t look like you race the forklifts, drive around with loads lifted way too high or get a two-hour lunch break. Iā€™d be grumpy too.

Damn &#@! kids of hell
 
Shenmue is like a time machine for me. Every time I watch something Shenmue-related and I hear the free OST in the background, I'm transported back to my childhood home. It's a really strange feeling that is hard to explain but I feel like it's the year 2000 again for a brief moment. It's a nostalgic, sometimes bittersweet, feeling.

I feel similarly, although I did not play until much later. The FREE 1 song in particular, especially when the voices are over the top of it. Just magic, a feeling I have not had with any other game.

I get the same feeling. Shenmue has been a big part of my life and its rare to find a franchise that has such a brilliant cult following.
 
I am in the middle of a Shenmue II run-through and today started Disc 3. The drama of the sweeping scene was somewhat undone by my young daughter reacting to the Kowloon bus by singing ā€œthe wheels on the bus go round and roundā€. It was adorable but I donā€™t think quite in line with Yu-sanā€™s vision.
 
So Iā€™m watching a friend play Shenmue 2 for the first time and on day 1, he just walked into the green market qr pawnshop, traded a set of animal collectibles (mostly birds and pigeons) and got $460. He has no memory of getting those collectibles. Can anyone explain this to me? Were they added in the HD port or something? Iā€™ve never seen this before. He did carry over his save file from Shenmue 1.
 
Did they begin the game from a completed Shenmue save file or no?

if not, youre given a small default set; same as Shenmue 2x when data transfers were impossible between DC/XB

Yeah, from a completed save file. And I know they did, because the forklift models are the same from the ones they earned in their Shenmue 1 playthrough.

They were added in the HD remaster as the only way to obtain them in the original was via the Shenmue passport, which isnā€™t included with the rerelease.

Huh, thatā€™s a pretty blegh way of going about it. They couldnā€™t have made it a more hidden unlockable via a side quest, arcade game or something that isnā€™t just essentially handing you a little method of making an immediate ton of money? Oh well.
