Except storytelling in S1 and 2 was excellent and not good in S3.Oh, this old chestnut. Fed up of hearing it tbh. Despite what you think, the plot DID move forward. We learned quite a bit. Don't forget that the plot is dropped in small doses. This is no different to how it was done in the first two games.
- What is the Prophecy about? Shenhua literally repeats it right at the start of S3 but then refuses to talk about it.
-Why did Shenhua's stepfather carve those huge stone mirrors?
-Why are there 2 Shenmue trees, at least in the English translation?
- There are two masters in Bailu under whom Iwao trained, yet none of them tells Ryo anything substantial about what exactly Iwao did or how his relationship to Sunming was.
-Why does Niao Sun follow Ryo around in disguise? That goes nowhere?
- Ren steals a random Phoenix Mirror in a tourist shop and deceives Lan Di with it. WTF?
- How has the relationship between Ren and Ryo lost depth? It's almost like they don't know each other.
And the list of clumsy storytelling goes on and on.
