Because of the Epic/Steam situation?

No, I don't have a problem with the epic store. I refunded because I paid for the physical PC version so when they took the game off the disc there was no way I was paying that for an empty box, especially as the digital version was only $30. Couldn't justify it.

That’s fair enough, I’m PS4 all the way and looking forward to my World Telecom 80 dollar tier. I felt after that was just collectibles and tat that I wasn’t interested in.

Did you play the trial version?

I played a bit of it, just some lucky strike and found the guy with the scar.

It was a bit rough but there's no denying its heritage. Can't see the longtime fans being disappointed with the full game.

Should be deadly although I have concerns over the fighting system.

Yu definitely seems to have left polishing the game until last so I’d say the final product will look terrific considering the budget involved.

Dispatch emails are going out soon. Feels like there’s a high possibility that Kickstarter physical copy backers will get the game before the digital download release or retail release.

It would make sense, plus i still expect a fairly important day 1 patch. So it's probably best to wait for launch day.

NOT A CHANCE, I’m putting the disc in ASAP!

(Plus, preview copies are already up to Version 1.02 so retail copies may not be Version 1.00 or a patch might be ready straight away)

Think I've check 3 or 4 times in the last months just to make sure the survey stuff is still right.

Yep still says PlayStation digital and still Europe.

I'm after getting 6 emails in the last 10 mins about the launch trailer.

It’s coming from the UK, great chance of getting it by Friday.

Launch trailer looks amazing, Niao Sun is a mental looking character, better than the concept art of her. Lan Di looks much closer to what I would have expected now.

What are you up to now, I was at 4 emails when I read your post now I'm at 18.

RasTa · 13-11-2019 10:17pm

15 it finished at

Retr0gamer · 14-11-2019 10:10am

Forgot to confirm my address. Even though I went for the PS4 version I won't play it until the Steam release.

Might give me time to play and finish 1 and 2 :pac:

When did yours ship? I got a shipping confirmation on Wednesday and was hoping the same as yourself that it would arrive today. (In work right now, so no idea if the post arrived yet.)

I think it is being held until Tuesday, according to the latest KS update.

No sign of my copy today either.

AOE2:DE weekend it is so.

corcaigh07 · 15-11-2019 1:36pm

I got the dispatch email on Wednesday also, my impression was that it’s in the post and I still think that, 2 days from the UK would be on the quick side.

I’ll keep an eye on Shenmue Dojo. Wish Xtra Vision were still around, they didn’t care too much about release dates unless it was FIFA.

Benzino · 15-11-2019 4:51pm

I used Parcel Wizard to deliver it, and they say they have it in the van and I should get it within the next 2 hours or so.

Unfortunately won't get to play it until Monday at the earliest

Edit: It was a stupid book which I forgot I purchased :mad:

Potential-Monke · 16-11-2019 12:06pm

I really want to play this, but all I have going into it is a hazy memory of the second one. I bought the first 2 again, but gave up about 6 hours into the first one as I was running around that town trying to find something that was just not being found. Also found it a slog up to that point, and can't face any more 'run into this part of town, run to that part of town, oh look it's late, go home and try again tomorrow'. Only had 1 actual fight with a sailor in the street and it was over so quick.

I'm tempted to skip the first and start into the second, but I've never played the first and was hoping to go through it. Is there anything like on older generations where I can get a save that skips all the boring stuff at the start and gets me into the action, or is the first game not like that at all?

It’s not that kind of game, it’s slow paced while you discover the secrets of the mirror and trying to find more about Lan Di.

It is a bit of a slog by modern standards and no time skip doesn’t help. Might be best to rattle through Dobuita as much as you can, the game opens up a lot when you go to the Harbour part of the game.

If you know where to go, the game is shorter than it looks and you have more action to look forward to in Shenmue 2.

corcaigh07 · 16-11-2019 9:07pm

You also have Shenmue The Movie if you really want to skip ahead.

Potential-Monke · 17-11-2019 8:58am

I feel like I'm close to the harbour, iirc, so might give it another spin. If I get sick of it again, I'll do the movie! Cheers folks!

Being closer to the harbour means the pure joy of being closer to

driving forklifts

Potential-Monke · 17-11-2019 3:43pm

Ok, I read up on a walkthrough, and I'm at the 'Find Charlie' stage, which was driving me mad, but now I know I needed to rest as this entire scene plays out over a few days. That's why I couldn't progress, I just thought I couldn't find him!
