there are only two possible opinions about Shenmue...

you either loved the game so much, it became part of your everyday life, u couldn't stop thinking about it, and you couldn't live without it.

or, you hated Shenmue, didn't like waiting around and being patient for events and scenes to occur, and would never play it twice.

for me, mine is the first option ;)

he must have been really inspired to have created such an indepth storyline and paid so much close attention to character and environmental detail. you could interact with every single character in the game, and almost every character had a different personality to them.

Yako...do you really have to post twice just to mention you 'love the game'??

alot of people have compared the attention to detail in Shenmue to the Metal Gear Solid game. i'll have to try it out and see for myself.

it's not about the graphics Yako....it's about the attention to important details, like sound and movement.

but since i haven't played the game yet, i don't know what metal gear solid is like compared to Shenmue.

does anyone else have any input on this topic?
