Interesting! So he definately should appear. I wonder if the randomizer skips over him then or something. Also that Game Jam Lucky hit job... Either playing forever or never? That's some purgatory right there.

Love the effort here of looking for this guy! Kinda like an early easter egg hunt. Unfortunately I can't really partake in this atm for hardware reasons, but I still thought about things. Wouldn't it be more efficient to look through the code if the game even has instructions to spawn this NPC...

You can skip all of the intro cutscenes in Shenmue leading up to the first bit of gameplay. You can skip repeated cutscenes in Shenmue II, like when you failed a QTE or fight. After finishing the game you can skip almost everything on repeated playthroughs. This is done by B button presses and...

I went ahead and just assembled the missing conversations from the files by mostly guesswork on how they could play out so I can finally release this.

For some reason those two always looked even more similar to each other to me, then they already do. And I always liked to believe that the guy got one hell of a fall from Chunyan, tumbled through Kowloons derelict buildings and finally ended up down by Baihus place.

How would one deduct any pointers from those scripts? All I see is wich file they are from, wich I already knew since I dug around the telephone dialogue AFS to find out about everything it has to offer in the first place. Would be nice to get some general more widespread attention to this. The...

I'm currently looking into the Nozomi phone calls. There are some conversations that I just cannot seem to trigger. I'd like to find out if they are just really obscure or in fact unused. There is one where Ryo worries about Nozomi wandering around at night, looking for him. The only place this...

Same thing here.

The game and soundtrack are already on my Shenmue shelves and since I'm lacking the space to properly spread out the contents anyway, they are gonna remain up there in sealed condition for probably eternity.

I just answered my door to... have this package delivered by the express service. Have to say that I was rather surprised by the packaging. The game came in its own sturdy cardboard box inside the shipping box. They could've just thrown it in there with the CD. But the inner box was made to...

Well the definition change from poster to card is pretty fishy. The sword was always described as being 5" so it's about as long as the PS4 game case is wide, wich the photo does accurately show. I'm more concerned that the photo of the actual items doesn't show the herb map and hotel card. If...

Got the notice aswell. Hopefully it will only be a few days until it arrives and this is finally over. It was 16 months...

Woke up to find that notice from LRG. Don't know if I really woke up, might still be dreaming. They only give until tomorrow to get the address sorted so maybe things will actually ship soon then...

Obligatorily dusting this place off again to point out the painfully obvious. Q1 2022 is over right now and... nothing. No update on the page yet either. Wonder if they even bother to do that at all anymore. I kinda lost all faith in this.

The start of matches is indeed a bit strange. You have to press a little earlier than what the signal of the bookie would suggest. As for mashing, put the controller down on your lap and let your entire lower arm work rather than just your finger. Surely there are other techniques but this one...
