How much more has to happen before everyone understands this thing has been a disaster?
Frankly, there's only you and maybe two or three other people who are this far off the deep end.
How much more has to happen before everyone understands this thing has been a disaster?
d3t and Sega Europe agreed a deal that was clearly not thought out and some how got approved by Sega Japan, and now Sega Japan are pissed. Not sure how much clearer that needs to be, they have alot more information about everything than we do and I would imagine they have their reasons to feel the way they do. I am just glad Sega Japan employees feel similar to the way I do because its going to things done, d3t has failed us all and I am not blaming the workers as much as the management of this project as it was atrocious, sega europe too and ultimately sega japan as well for not keep an eye on the progress. Now here we are having to watch devs go into scramble mode because things arent right.
Also let me put this out there, What happened to the optional controls we were told this was supposed to have? We were told this was going to have modern and classic control options, and I havent heard a thing from anyone about why that was not present. What about Sega telling early reviewers to ignore any bugs because it was all being patched by launch? Was that just a bold face lie, or d3ts incompetence? Who knows? Take your pick. What about John from Digitial Foundaries comments? (which there is a thread here at sd where he chimes in about what little he can talk about which is an important read) The fact that new bugs are being discovered within the new patches? There have been multiple red flags all up and down this entire release, and they have mostly been ignored. How much more has to happen before everyone understands this thing has been a disaster?
Idk about you guys but I have seen alot more than I care to as it is watching Shenmue be sullied by d3t, just because this may have been the only way we would have ever gotten these games in HD and on modern platforms doesnt mean they can give us what ever and we should be thankful, no way in hell, we are better than that, we deserve better than that and in no way shape or form is what has happened been ok. I hope they can fix the issues but there is still plenty more to get through before we are at the end of this fiasco.
It seems like most people, particularly first timers, aren’t even aware there are any bugs. To me, that means the bug issue is currently overblown. The music in Shenmue 2? Yeah that’s fucked up. Otherwise, cmon.
It has modern controls. You can use the analog stick to move Ryo. That’s all they meant.
I wont lie, those last 3 paragraphs of that article made me happy af, literally made my day and I have absolutely no shame about it. d3t should have never touched shenmue and their lax attitude is finally being addressed. I have no pity for d3t what so ever, they got themselves into this and they couldnt deliver, bottom line. Now they have to answer to original team members, what about the respect for them having this release in such a state? How are the people on the original team supposed to feel? Understanding towards d3t? I would say likely embarrassed. Someone has to answer for this, and for now it looks like its d3t for not getting the job done, guess they should have put more people on the project, either way it falls on them.
The bitterness in your post is astounding.
I also would have liked to see a little extra polish on these ports, but damn, you're just being downright rude and unpleasant here. It's laughable that you think we've been done some kind of misjustice when it's a miracle that these rereleases exist at all. I know that's not an excuse for glitchy software, but if you really feel that hard done by, then maybe you should take a step back and relax a bit.
You have already been told by other members, staff, and now I am telling you one last time. Get down off your soapbox and end it. Now.

The bugs really aren’t that bad anymore, and I was a big critic when it came out. Get a grip.
Ha ha ha ha ha, this is hilarious. What's next, Anime gets a ban just because he actually spoke the truth the way it is?

If you don't like how things are done around here, the doors over there. You are on very... VERY thin ice enough as it is and if you want to keep up the BS i have zero hesitation hitting the perma ban button myself.
I made a thread about the music in II but i'm not losing any sleep. There are some real neckbeards in here it seems.It seems like most people, particularly first timers, aren’t even aware there are any bugs. To me, that means the bug issue is currently overblown.

What a shame. Praying this ends well but it's looking more and more like a pipe dream with each passing day...
I notice way too many issues even with the updates, and will gladly go back to the originals if these versions aren't fixed...What? The games are mostly fine since 1.02. I'll gladly put up with a few bugs and play this version, with its enhancements, over ever returning to the originals...
