"Do you remember... that day?"
"The day it snowed?"
NO! The day I got it right as it came out. A Friday after school and I played for like 4 hours straight. Yes! I remember THAT day!
- WXLCKNO 2y agoThere was something very special about it, I agree that no game has made me feel that way since. Half Life 2 did but in a different way. Maybe when a game just leapfrogs what's been thought of as cutting edge and you're so amazed that you forget that you're playing a game. I'm not sure if my fascination for Japan started with Shenmue but it certainly grew from there. I was so happy to visit for the first time last year.

Just saw this reply, but I agree with this statement 100%! Next time I'd like to take a trip out to Yokosuka and check out the real-life areas. So much of the game was still there IRL though, from the gacha machines to the neighborhood hole-in-the-wall arcades
- mywittyname 2y agoI traded a bunch of PSX games for a Dreamcast just so I could play Shenmue. My parents were pissed, but what a great game (and great console).
