Shenmue III (PS4, PC) - 19/11/2019

[Dig Dug]

Streamed this for 8 & 1/2 hours. This was worth the wait. It's everything I expected it to be and yet it keeps doing small things to surprise me in a big way.
I'm not going to spoil anything but as always, check all the cupboards and draws you come across.

[BOR]

I've reserved my copy at Argos and I'll collect it after work.

[Rex Kramer]

Anyone interested in a PS4 code for this? Backed it on Kickstarter but in reality I won't ever play it. Drop me a pm.

Edit: £28 to cover what I paid initially.

[Vermilion]

I've also reserved my copy from Argos, so hyped, it's not often i get like this about a game these days.

[Cheeky Devlin]

Finished II last night and I stand by it being the better of the originals.

Much better in every single way than the first game.

I did think the last hour or so could have been chopped in half and nothing would have been lost, but otherwise I like where it ended.

Now to wait for the Sequel. I hope I don't have to wait too long.

Oh look, it's out now.

I can see why that wait would have been tortuous.

Ryo's quest to avoid getting laid continues.

Some early impressions online actually look pretty good and seems to be a game for the fans which is great.
I'll get it when it drops to £30 but I need to complete the first and second games first.

[Vermilion]

Had a chance to play the first few mins earlier, so far, so Shenmue, the dialogue is at times clearly fan service, especially little things like 'i see'

Hope there'll be a reference to sailors at some point too.

[BOR]

Got my copy!

Would you like to play a game of Lucky Hit?

No thankyou, i kept losing at it.

Love the Shenmue 1 themed capsule toys though.

So I just received an e-mail advising me that I had a Digital Code for a Digital copy of the game....which is actually slightly worrying.

I backed at the $60 tier which states

Pledge US$ 60 or more

PHYSICAL COPY - PS4

A physical copy of Shenmue 3 in an exclusive, backer-only case

No mention of a Digital Copy. Which makes me start to worry that I'm just going to get a Digital key (Which was the $29 tier) and not get my physical copy in my Kickstarter exclusive case.

I might have to e-mail Fangamer and make sure they're actually sending my a physical product as well as I still haven't received anything.

I can't believe that this has both come out and looks like such the follow up that fans were looking for. I'd like to finish my current Shenmue 2 play through before starting this but as a fan feel I should pay full price.

I backed at the same tier and received a physical PS4 copy and slipcase - no download code. Sounds like they've made a mistake with your order.

I've got my game code OK from being a backer but it's taken so long for the thing to come out I don't know when I'll start it and I also have the originals to go through again after enjoying them on the DC. At least the reviews appear to be kind from what I have read.

I found the thugs, and got my ass kicked as a result!

I see.

I need to improve my kung fu.

[BOR]

I have installed this but I haven't started it.

I want to finish Odyssey first before I can focus this fully.

[Superfurryfox64]

I’m still undecided by this, felt such emotion starting this after 18 years of waiting but really can’t be arsed with the old go here ask that person something go there ask that person something, I just want story and gameplay, I don’t have the time that I use to and that might be what makes me give up on the game long before I can finish it
