  • Don't suppose anybody imported Shenmue 2 other than myself? It's really worth it if you liked the first one.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>I was more than a little annoyed at how they drag the game out by making everything single bad thing that cuold possibly happen happen. They really tested my patience with the BS they pulled in the storyline (Go to Person A:Oh! I don't know! maybe Person B will!->Person B:I don't know either, but I know a person C that does. You need to find an Item A, B and C to meet him though->Person C:I see you brought me Items A B and C. I will now run and make you chase me...etc,etc,etc,etc,etc,etc), especially with the fucking sky scraper and how you had to walk up most of the way there....arrghh...I'm getting pissed off just thinking about it.

To its credit, the story does moce quicker, there is more battles, more to explore...pretty much more of everything...but I really wish they find a better way to tie them all together than to make Ryo the unluckiest bastard in the world.

I also didn't like how much of an ass Ryo is throughout the entire game. They probably did it so that they didn't have to develop the supporting characters much.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I'm thinking of getting it myself (well, I woulda already if I wasn't so broke now). It's moronic that they don't just release it in America since it's already subbed and complete.</div>
