HEY why the fuck you have a SHIT-STATION 1 (aka PlayStation) in your collection?. Is ruining you, is a only-comercial-purpose-console that looks like a stupid bad-quality-plastic toaster.
This is the most underated game ever and the dreamcast is the most underated console. If they are not going to make shenmue III then they should at least re-release shenmue I or something!
You should also have a look at "skies of arcadia" for the DC. A really good RPG
Yes I got "played" gezz I realized I was missing a disc and brought it back to the pawn shop I got the game from. Not only did he give me the missing disc but he replaced it with another with the case in better condition.
gald to hear that shenmue is not a game to miss....part two on the x box is really good too....to bad sega isn't going to make anymore and they just left the story on a to be cont
i used to play this game all the time it was my favourite, but my dreamcast broke :( and i cant find it on ps2, does any one kno where to get it from :)
@deathmountaintv ..The reason it cost so much is cuz SEGA tried making this game for the saturn first, and we all know how difficult the saturn was to program for so alot of money went into making the saturn version but, it never fell threw because Sega ditched the saturn. But, the dreamcast was a breeze to program for so it didnt cost so much to make Shenmue on it. As with any company they said Shenmue was costly to make because they wanted to hype their product. Dreamcast pwns.
in shenmue 1 can you only fight by tapping the buttons it tells you 2 cause in shenmue 2 yo ufight how ever you want instead of tappign the buttons the game makes you
you got screwed you only have two of the game discs your missing the third disc and the passport is just an extra disc with the soundtrack and the cut scenes you have unlock and there was a feature where if you where stuck you could could connect to internet and Nozomi would give you a hint but you could probably find the third disc on the internet
Yeah I realized I was missing a disc and went back to the pawn shop I got it from and they replaced everything for a complete version in better condition!
I bought this when it first came out. it cost something like £40. Couldn't stop playing till i completed it.
The graphics were so ahead of its time, when watching the intro my mum came in and said pretty much "what the hell, is that the game? that looks amazing"
Loved the story of this game :D and its very suprisingly long.
This game was so great! One of my favorites of all time. I was so disappointed that they didn't port the sequel over to North America for DC users and even more disappointed that Sega gave up on the series all together.
Well I too am getting this game soon. And I must say this is just... phenomenal. For the DC I am just blown away; it seems much more realistic then most games. Anyways nice vid!
shenmue is absolutley awful compared to shenmue 2, when the snow starts coming down at nighttime with the piano music playing on disc 3 thats the only good bit
not bad. i have the game and played through it a few times. i see them at the used game store here all the time $15-$20 i think. guess i got used to seeing it and forgot it is hard to find maybe.
This is perhaps, my favorite game on the Dreamcast. Not only did I like it for what it achieved at the time, but for illustrating realistically an area of Japan. I have a real interest in Japanese culture, so the game had a great impact on me.
I hear ya I loved just walking around Dobuita. While playing it I was like "Man I wanna be here for real!" Awesome game. I went back and got the missing disk (if you noticed)
Yeah this one has 4 Disks too I had to go back and get them all! Luckily the shop owner had them all we just didn't notice it was missing one in the first place.
You don't need to feed Ryo actually, the only point of buying cans and food(except for the cat) is to win toys or arcade games that you can play at home. Anyway, enjoy Shenmue, if the 3 ever comes out, at least you won't have to wait as long.
The original concept was for the story to span 16 chapters, so you were going to able to fly around the world and see time-oriented events. They kept the events, but the implementation was limited to the first surrounding areas. There were going to be local holidays and festivals implemented, as well as a continuous count of your events so people would remember you and what you did near them and what they heard while you were gone. What they have now is like Christmas Nights - still pretty cool.
You're not the first to say that. I talked to the guy who owns the pawn shop I bought the game at (randomly ran into him!) and I told him I was missing Disk 3. He said he had another copy and to stop by on this Sunday and he would give me the 3rd disk!
So get this I went and visited this shop the other day. Not only does the guy give me disk 3 but he looks at mine and his and says "you might as well just take the whole thing its in better shape" the book on mine was all wrinkled like it got wet. So now I have all the disks and its in even better shape! Awesome place to deal with!
The original concept for the game was amazing - it was to be a 'living' world. The best example given was that you could travel to Hong Kong in November and head to Japan in December where you would find Christmas decorations all over town and snow covering everything, then it would be take down in mid January. Still a great game.
The Xbox version comes with a recap disc to catch you up on the events of the first. Oh, and enjoy the in-game arcade - it's awesome.
I ran into the pawn shop owner the other day and I told him I was missing Disk 3. He said he had another copy and to stop in this Sunday and he could give it to me. All worked out so thats sweet!
Yeah , i always favoured DreamCast to the PS2... Why the hell did people choose PS2 over DC ?? I mean people like the PS2 couse they wanted to play DVD's... but why do you buy a GAMING console ??? You buy it to play games ! And dreamcast even had online features ! And you got a free mini-game just for having a memory unit !
yeah i noticed that right away. you are missing a disk. too bad it wasn't the passport disk missing since that can't really be used besides playing some music and videos. maybe you can burn the last one or something. though it might have stuff cut out and stuff.
Yeah and this game came out in 1999 only months after the system in Japan! Plus I think it was even started on the Saturn. They almost finished the game on the 32bit system when they realized the thing was tanking so they brought what they could over to the DC.
I remember seeing the Saturn footage awhile back. Very cool stuff for the Saturn, I can only wonder how many hours they toiled to wring that out of the systems innards.
