The Shenmue games aren’t interactive movies, or like the Telltale Games. They’re more of a precussor to the Yakuza games, or a sandbox game, with a much smaller sandbox to play in. 

The easiest answer is that Shenmue didn’t have an ending. The story being incomplete, is a huge reason people wanted a part 3. Similar to the way fans want a Half-Life 3. Had we have gotten a part 3, relatively close to the end of 2, with a definitive ending, we would probably being seeing this part 3 as more of a…

They do, but it’s usually on the non-primetime hours. Those are reserved for competitions, etc.

Makes sense. Lots of local restaurants quality is on the upswing, that most celeb owned restaurants, usually located in big metro areas, or high tourtist traffic areas don’t seem appealing.

Think of it from a marketing stance. You can put Ben Schwartz on a poster, book him on late night talk shows, he’ll market the movie on his social media to all his followers.

Really fanastic article. Congrats!

Yeah, Jackie and Tom Cruise are daredevils, in regards to their dedication to stunts, no doubt. Jackie takes it one step further, in that he also hurts himself for authenticity. Like that multi-level leap of faith, and slide down a pole covered in lights. There’s no doubt you would get hurt doing something like that. O…

Yeah, that comparison never really worked for me. FR is almost a work of art in the media of film. Fallout, is a top pinnacle of the action genre. Not that either movie can’t be the other, but I wouldn’t look back at Fallout for it’s gorgeous visuals, or innovative cars, and character designs.

Apples and oranges. A better comparison are the Jackie Chan movies of the 80's to early 90's. The Raid movies own, in regards to fight choreography and performance, but not so much when it comes to big stunt set-pieces.

Yes, but you really should watch the previous one, Rogue Nation. They go hand-in-hand, much like Casino Royale did with Quantum of Solace. Mission: Impossible does it better though.

...well that clears that up.

Usually grind-y open world games I could relax to. Lately Far Cry 5, Destiny 2, Ni No Kuni 2. When i’m not doing specific quests or advancing story stuff, I usually just tune out, grind and farm for items and resources.

It’s kind of too long winded to get into the minutia of the sequel theory, but just check out this link. Lots of others out there and on youtube as well:

Wait...how can watching things chronologically spoil anything if you’re watching things in the order they happen?

Anno creates by mood. When he’s inspired and can get to it. Hence the sidetracking with Shin Godzilla. And the small changes between Evangelions(1.01. 1.11, etc) It’ll be ready when it’s ready.

Watch the series, then The End of Evangelion movie, the Evangelion 1.11, 2.22, 3.33. Trust me, watch in order and it will all make sense. Watch out of order and it’ll spoil whatever else you watch next.

What’s even weirder is that the game predated the movie by a year. Just called Ecks vs. Sever, it was a pretty great GBA game. Never played the sequel, which was an adaptation of the movie. 

I found out about this from GTLIve. I wouldn’t play it myself, but it’s highly entertaining watching others play it. Also, one of those endings was really surreal/creepy.

It’s probably a stretch, but what if, this is all a mislead, and it turns out everything we’ve seen is just from the opening moments, and the rest of game takes place after a major time jump?
