Cindi how far am I in this piece of shit game

I just got the 6 tokens, how much longer until

1. I get out of this hick village and into the city
2. The game is fucking over

Keeping in mind that I fucking cheated and have infinite moneys so anything that's gated by money isn't an issue

How so?

Wasn't meant to be an accusation, just that in a couple of previous comments it seemed like you were enjoying the vibes of the game more.

My copy came in finally, btw.
Ironically i spent the free time i had playing Control, so i'll get to it when i can.

Himu · « **Reply #1203 on:** November 28, 2019, 11:30:45 AM »

The problem is that the game has a little good (talking with Shenhua at night) surrounded by shit.

Shonuff I don't know. I talked with pals about it and Niaowu is halfway through the game. I haven't played in days. The game depresses me too much. I'll probably be back at it soon because as bad as the game is I have to see this through even if I'd rather play dark souls

Once you have the six tokens you go to the tower and see some pointless drek then go to the next city.

The story revelation? Oh, the mirrors were made for hiding Royal treasure. BUT WE ALREADY KNOE THIS.

RYO EVEN MENTIONS IT TO SHENHUA DURING A CONVERSATION AT NIGHT.

And yet the main "revelation" is exactly that.

Before you complete the guilin part I suggest watching this cutscene from II to EMPHASIZE how utterly pointless the point of the Bailu section of the game is. It literally provided NO NEW INFORMATION AND PRETNDS SHENMUE II DID NOT EXIST.

Facts:

1. We already know that Sunming Zhao is Lan Di's father.
2. We already know that the mirrors contain a treasure map. This is why Ryo went to Guilin to begin with.
3. These two Revelations are the only things revealed in the entirety of the Bailu section relevant to plot.

What was the big deal about the damn bridge? Who cares about a BRIDGE? ASK ABOUT THE DRAGON AND PHOENIX ON THE FLAGS THEY WAVED.

Most pointless game sequel ever.

Yeah, Shenmue I was a groundbreaking life sim, II was a kickass adventure game that paved the way for stuff like Yakuza/RGG. III should've taken some cues from Yakuza/RGG since there's been a lot of innovation in the genre since Shenmue II.

Chores that are still tied to the story. The padding we are talking about in II and III are very different. In III everything is a grind. II has some padding but III is all padding. It takes multiple days to unlock the full area of Bailu for instance.

I was thinking today how bullshit it is that like every major 90s/00s fighter is still alive except VF. Tekken, Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur, Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, King of Fighters, Mortal Kombat. Pretty sad that VF is the only one that just died off since it was amazing.

Imagine a new chapter in Star Wars made by someone who had 1/8th the budget and hadn't seen any new movies since 1977.

And imagine there being constant, distracting, completely out-of-place cameos in the background from the people who donated money to get it made.

I'm fucking done with this piece of shit game for now. I'm stuck trying to get a VIP pass for some club. I know who I have to get it from but I can't trigger the sequence of events required to get them to show up somewhere. Fuck this game, I'm going to go play some Budget Cuts in the Vive my buddy gave me and then play Diablo 3 for the first time.

Shenmue 3 could literally give me a kidney stone, and Shenmue 1 would still be one of the best games i've played.

Otherwise i'd have to hate Silent Hill 1 through 4 with a passion, given the fact that i've even seen that one second movie they made.

Not sure if any of his stuff gets monetized anymore- I know he used to talk about not caring and just using other means like Patreon for money.

Edit: Seems like he's doing pretty well- 6,900 patrons with $12,759 a month.

A couple of years ago he posted about how he came up with a "copyright deadlock" system to stop his videos from being flagged and taken down.
