They really didnt though, a 6.8 aint great but its marginally below a passing score (and around where s3 is scoring) and pretty much every staff member outside of the main reviewer loved it. If anything it'd be absolutely horrible for shenmue's chances if they hated it as much as you say cause both pride themselves on slower pace.I honestly believe the fact they hated Death Stranding so much is a big benefit to Shenmue.
"Could have been worse. Could have been Death Stranding"
I'm not shitting on DS either, but yeah wow they really fucking hated that.
Anyway. Few more reviews coming . Mainly 7's which I think is great. I'm still waiting on that US IGN review because like it or not they drive sales.
Until I started looking for them, I thought the same thing (I only came across two in Bailu). Trying to put together a list right now and it looks like there are 10+ on each area, possibly a lot more. It’s a shame they only trigger at certain times and if you’re standing close to the person issuing them (made more difficult by the people not loading in unless you’re standing on the spot they’re supposed to be).
I thought you meant ign my bad. I had the other thread about ds open and mixed wires
I mean only about 10 per area aint that much tbh. I also dont think they were particularly long either from the ones I've played. I too kind of wish there were more or that the ones we had were more extensive.

I know you were expecting the worst, but come on. The game really isn’t anywhere close to bad. It’s got its idiosyncrasies, but I think it’s ending up as it should.
I'm hoping for more 8+ reviews cause those are actually whats needed to up the score. Like if most placed give it 7's then it registers looking worse than what that actually is since a couple negative scores can drop the median below the passing grade. Ideally while im not holding out hope for it, I hope it winds up in the 75+ range so it can at least get a green score on mc.
I think it played a part but not entirely for the lower scores, the complaints in some of them arent really that far off from the flaws the game actually has. The only one that was legitimently a big heaping pile of crap was the polygon one which I dont think they rushed, I'm fairly positive they played like 3 hours and wrote the review, everything they wrote was like shit that happens in the first hour of the game.
Shenmue 3 - Test, Action-Adventure
18 Jahre nach der Veröffentlichung von Teil 2 ist es soweit - die japanische Entwickler-Legende Yu Suzuki hat es tatsächlich geschafft. Shenmue 3 ist fertig, Ryo Hazuki kann die Suche nach dem Mörder seines Vaters wieder aufnehmen. Die Gretchenfrage dabei: Kann die arg verspätete Fortsetzung...
My favorite gaming site 4players just reviewed the game. They are very critical but fair and have a great taste in games imo.
And they gave Shenmue 3 a 83% rating. The reviewer personally loved it, you can tell by the writing itself. He says that the game is far off to be the game of the year of the magazine or far off achieving a platinum award like the first two installments did but it’s his game of the year for sure!
Love
I feel I've seen them listed on Metacritic. What did they score it? I don't see a score.
It sucks, it's become a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point. I feel like way more people would at least try to get into the series if they weren't constantly bombarded by this message. And as I alluded to before, I feel this idea leads to lower review scores from people who otherwise quite enjoyed the games.
