So thats Call of Duty and now Halo who have compared themselves to Star Wars. Why doesn't a game more appropriate do it like Mass Effect? It's not got the same amount of sales or impact on pop culture but Mass Effects universe is the only in-game universe I can think of thats comparable to Star Wars in terms of it's…

@Sugoi: You are correct. Now your words brighten my heart like a beautiful summers day.

@Sugoi: Your words cut a bitter blade through my heart.

@Shotofen: Ha, if it ever does happen I look forward to the hyperbolic fanboyism that will strike through every gaming message board that day. Sega hold a lot of power.

@Sugoi: Yeah, I'm just bitter. I didn't really do much official research into sales figures, I just know it didn't sell well initially. I'm almost getting bored of the no mention of Shenmue now by SEGA, almost as if it doesn't exist.

So they will make a sequel and a third game for something that has a core audience but never did incredibly well in sales for it's first game, at least in the west...but NOTHING FOR SHENMUE? NOTHING SEGA? I know I am being the typical annoying whining Shenmue fan in any games comments section across the internet..I'll…

@Shotofen: When I see a release of Shenmue 3, that is the day SEGA will kick ass my friend..

@ZenInsight: YES! infact it was. No worries.

Hahahahaha fucking wow.

@lutz: I had seen a preview that compared it's Noir dimension to Arkham Asylum, that did grab my attention I must admit. (posting again, not sure if the other reply worked)

@ZenInsight: I've just re-read this. My statement still makes sense, as it's basically saying it's been getting positive reviews. Positive critical reception, as opposed to negative critical reception. Without the 'positive' or 'negative' its just critical reception undefined. You can't just say, there was critical…

THE LAST GUARDIAN

@ZenInsight: Right well, thanks for taking your time out to condescend me in the Kotaku comments section. I'll make sure my wording is correct next time.

@lutz: Not suck really, just had the same skeptical attitude I've approached every Spiderman game with for a long while now. I'm a bit confused here, are you guys trying to act like there was no possible reason for skepticism on my part?

@yargh: What do you mean Err..what? Sentence is pretty self explantory isn't it?

This has been getting some surprisingly positive critical reception. I'm actually quite looking forward to playing it.

@Toshi: How could you possibly be for the illegal downloading of games? You can loosely and very shallowly use excuses like being poor or the old 'sony and MS are just greedy companies' line but ultimately piracy is wrong and should never really be advocated.

@Evilsoda: I'm with this comment.
