Shenmue

what do ya mean? i know yakuza is made by mostly the same people that did shenmue so i'm sure Jaxel was referring to things like the menu system and minor graphical glitches.

my beef with shenmue 2 was that it was not as detailed as shenmue 1 (you couldn't open up EVERY closet or walk into any store), and the end of the game was super lame and rushed. The fight against wolf, that fat guy, and that building with the planks totally took away from the experience. It totally took away from the realism the game was trying to achieve.

I still loved 2 to death, but i can put 1 above 2 and not think about it twice.

I know what you mean. And unfortunately, I think it's because Shenmue II is three chapters of Shenmue compacted on one disc. So normally there would be just as much detail as the first game (if not more), but that amount of detail had to be cut into thirds. All the things you didn't like about it were towards the end of the game. It was obvious they were either pressed for time, didn't have much more funding, didn't have much raw space left, or were just exhausted. I wasn't a big fan of the ending either.

To be honest though, there was just something about Shenmue II that I still preferred to I. Maybe it was the city atmosphere, or the more comfortable pacing.
