Harsh but I completely agree. Shenmue 3 is the biggest disappointment of this generation.

I wonder how many games are amazing at part 3 vs how many are bad. Some companies are afraid to even get to the number 3.
So it just continued the Shenmue tradition.

Shenmue 3 was pretty much exactly what I wanted. I was happy with it.

Shenmue 3 would have been a banger if it were released in 99 where it belonged.

I was always a SMW kinda guy. I still think that is pure Kino.

I’d would say if Shen Mue had a decent story all of its games would have been classics. We have seen this style done especially with Sega’s Yakuza games, so all the pieces were there but unfortunately the creative team decided to play on nostalgia and into the flaws of pacing that were part of the first games when a lot of people just wanted an ending or at least a decent jumping off point. Shen Mue 3 was not that.
I mean planning martial arts mystery that takes several games isn’t ambitious it is indulgence.
I have nothing to say about Shenmue 3 as a game really, I have yet to play it, but goddamn did that ending crack me up.
Hell yeah, dude. Love me some SMW. It’s also the base for most of the Kaizo ROM hacks. Legendary game.
I still like all Merio platformers but SMW is magic. THE perfect blend of skill, fun, music, atmosphere, and the physics (which are somewhat stretched in Merio maker) are all…well again perfect. It’s a game that I can still play anytime.

Iirc, it was pretty much known from the start that Shenmue 3 would be basically like its predecessor.
Anyone expecting more modern design philosophies only have themselves to blame for expecting something the game made very clear it wouldnt deliver.

The issue is that even in relation to the original two Shenmue titles it falls short. If it just stayed par with what Shenmue was, while outsiders may have been disappointed I think it’d still be exactly what fans of the series wanted and would allow the series to continue since it basically exists as a stopgap “proof of concept”. Yu Suzuki has his own vision and doesn’t want it tainted by anything else that’s happened in the last two decades, fine. He has earned the right to take that path.
But you can’t take what you did two decades ago and end up doing it worse than before. That just won’t fly and shouldn’t fly. You can’t blame lack of funds for a lot of the decisions made in the game. It was just poor decision making.
