    Are there any people who even liked shenmue 3?

    I haven’t played it yet, but I’ve noticed way more positive opinions online about the game the further we got from its release date. It’s currently 75% positive-rated on Steam and even 92% from recent reviews.

    I think the game was way overhyped, but now that people don’t expect it to be some monumental achievement, some actually do like it.

      The biggest issue among the Shenmue community was that it left us in another fucking cliffhanger. Seriously. Yu. I love how dedicated you are to your vision…but this is getting annoying.

      Most of the other criticisms were about how slow and plodding some things were…which is someone a lot of us liked about Shenmue.

      Im scared of playing it. 1 and 2 were incredible and then 3 just had way too much time before it came out. Nothing it could realistically be would match the hopes and expectations I’ll have attached to it.

      I might give this a try if it appears on gamepass or supercheap

        It was free on EGS back in 2021. Has been sitting in my backlog since then.
