I've had a long and hard thought after my first playthrough about where Shenmue 3 stands in the series, I then played it again to make up my mind and dare I say I think it takes the crown. I genuinely think this game is better than 1&2 despite the disturbingly obvious lack of story development. Gameplay wise 3 triumphs the ambitious originals that is not even a question, the game is more modern, better looking and there is more side activity to do (working is actually fun now) and there is now challenging combat. I don't even mind the stamina system too much. Because the gameplay is better and there is more replayability I consider Shenmue 1&2 inferior to Shenmue 3.
I take my hats off and congratulate Suzuki for improving Shenmue and making a decent game. It is not as bad as critics or fans would say, my ONLY complaints with 3 is the awful QTE segments and the story. Even though Suzuki has somewhat disappointed the fanbase with this game he defintely made improvements to what was left from 2001's Shenmue 2. Does anybody else consider this, The best Shenmue game?
