I keep tweeting at him. But he never seem to read the tweets.hahaha Angry joe is funny guy. I like him. if he ends up playing Shenmue, it will expose the game to a large audience.
Honestly, I don't trust Angry Joe to treat Shenmue 3 fairly in his (hypothetical) review but I can't deny his support would be an advantage.hahaha Angry joe is funny guy. I like him. if he ends up playing Shenmue, it will expose the game to a large audience.
Angry Joe is fine. Shenmue 3 being #1 on his worst thing at e3 list is fine as well. He does not shit on the game. He criticizes the Epic fuck up. Its one of the most common complaints of E3 along with Pokemon. There are unfortunately a lot of Shenmue fans that want to be coddled and throw a fit when ever someone speaks against it, even if it is deserved. They will then somehow in their mind unironically (actually it is incredibly ironic) call anyone who speaks out against the BS a "whiner" or a "hater" and thinks their constant dismissals of legitimate criticisms are also somehow more valid.I like Angry Joe and his channel a lot. In fact, he's one of my fav youtubers.
He was considering a playthrough of the first 2 Shenmues. Not now I believe.
That sucks.
To have my favourite game, placing in the numer 1 worst game at e3 by my fav youtuber is a strange feeling. LOL
I hope the game is good enough to clean up all this mess and bad press, and he can maybe review it and enjoy it for what it is.

Because Angry Joe's review of Yakuza 0 really boosted that game and helped the Yakuza series to finally break into the Western mainstream:
All we need is for Shenmue 3 to click with a couple of the big YouTube personalities to really make the game an undeniable success.
Watched through the What's Shenmue VHS again for a look back at the original's progress.
There are so many almost finished scenes from Shenmue that are just a little different. May it be the characters or certain objects and details. There are also clearly multiple different builds shown in the footage and it shows so well just how much a game can still change in a few months.
And that of course leads me to thinking about how Shenmue III can still change oh so much in the time it has until the release. I always keep this thought about old footage of Shenmue in the back my head when new footage of Shenmue III lands. What we've seen so far of the game is likely to be just as different when we play it as What's Shenmue stuff is to the final Shenmue.
"The battles shown in the demo are all 1-on-1 fights. Ryo’s basic attacks include punches and kicks, and he can unleash special moves and combos if you press certain punch/kick button combinations, which is very much like the system of a dedicated fighting game. Each move can also be leveled up. When a particular move is at a low level, your button input timing needs to be very exact to execute this move, perhaps even stricter than for some dedicated fighters. But once you use the move often enough to level up, the move becomes easier to execute."
Yeah there's no way Shenmue III can compete critically with a well-made Symphony of the Night rip-off. SotN is a sacred game to so many people and the Metroidvania genre is hugely popular.
Even if Shenmue III delivers the perfect Shenmue experience, that won't be enough to garner universal praise. Some people will still find it boring, awkward etc. The slow pace, the life sim aspects, the mix of gameplay styles, it's all too divisive. We're just gunna have to live with it.
Calling Bloodstained a SotN rip off seems a bit weird to me. It's a spiritual successor made by the same writer/director/programmer. It's Castlevania in all but name, because Konami would relinquish the licence or allow IGA to make another Castlevania.
People need to stop obsessing with what random people and critics think about Shenmue 3. It will never be a mainstream success, give it up already.
