What are the download sizes like for the games and have they been patched since launch?

I read there were some audio issues in I think the first game.

I want to get this badly but I'll hold off until next month or so, glad people are enjoying the games! I loved Shenmue so much that I've pretty sure I've finished it more than five times or so...

I only bothered to finish Shenmue 2 once, don't think it's good as first but still fantastic story.

Yep, just finished Shenmue 1 too. Loved it. Held up well for me, and I did not experience any glitches etc. Guess I'm just lucky?
Going to leave it a few months before doing in to the second, but I loved just about every second of this.

Probably already outsold the Dreamcast versions by now :lol:


In fairness, Shenmue 2 had particularly low sales on DC simply because it was such a bloody nightmare to get hold of a copy.

In early 2001 when Sega announced the discontinuation of the console, all the major stores (except my nearest Electronics Boutique/Game which was 25 miles from where i was living) removed their DC game shelves (before that i bought shenmue 1 from woolworths) and replaced them with budget PS1 games. Just getting hold of new release DC titles from then on was a major challenge (i didn't have internet at that time so online shopping was out), and i had a terrible time tracking down Skies of Arcadia & Sonic Adventure 2. Because Shenmue 2 was effectively the last major release therefore, i pre-ordered a copy from EB, and when i went to pick it up, it turned out it was one of only 3 copies delivered to the store.

So yeah, it sold poorly because no bugger could get hold of it.

Still, while were on the subject, i still have my DC Shenmue games, the second in particular is in mint condition and is in a quiet, safe spot at the back of my glass cabinet.


What were the last games on Dreamcast in the UK?

Remember Phantasy Star, Daytona and Fighting Vipers 2 coming out around the time the console was discontinued.

I bought a PS2 the day after they announced the discontinuation and didn't touch the console until a few years after.

As far as i know, Shenmue 2 and Rez were the final official Sega releases, with the latter coming out in january 2002 (i think).

Darn!

I saved the game after I completed and I thought I could go back but I cannot. I miss out to collect fifty toys capsules so I will have to get them again. :lol: :(

I’ll have a little break before I go back to Shenmue II and I think it’s better to wait until they have patched it up.

Will start 2 after this patch lands. I had no problems with Shenmue 1 mind, it's interesting how different people's experiences with glitches etc have been.

I had one glitch where the tape player button icons wouldn't go away, but a reload fixed that. I haven't seen anything major yet, touch wood.

Had a couple of minor issues in Shenmue 1, but quitting and restarting sorted them out.

I didn’t experience any issue except black crushed image which was too dark to see and I had to brighten it up a bit.

I can't wait to try these, but I really wish publishers would actually finish games before releasing them. Everything needs a patch, even ports of games that weren't broken before.

There was also one of these on a shelf at the free stay place in Aberdeen in the Dreamcast game, but they seem to have removed it for this version.
