Anyone else here currently playing though this game for the first time (or a re attempt)? Its interesting to finally experience this game. I remember the build up to it and wanting it at the time but didn't get it for various reasons. I can definitely appreciate how amazing it is and would have been back then. Ahead of its time. I can also see why alot of people didn't like it and found it boring. I'm hours in and nothing interesting has happened yet but I know this game requires patience.

It was really great to go back and and see how to stacks up today. I still find it to be a really fun game and still one of my all time favs. I think its one of those games that is better played when it came out. Seeing how games are today, I can really appreciate what Shenmue has done. Think of it as an experience rather than action, action, action. Edited by jumblejunkie, May 22 2013, 06:59 AM.

I've been playing Shenmue again the last couple of days and finally getting into it. I'm still on disc 1 but i feel that it's getting going finally. I'm at the part of tracking down Charlie.
