Even if those scores sit right there that’s almost more than we could have ever asked for.
Sorry for generalizing again but the only people that are still complaining about Shenmue 3's Epic deal thing (at least from what I'm seeing outside this forum) are quite obviously only using Shen 3 as a vessel to complain about MUH EVIL KICKSTARTER and MUH EPIC EXCLUSIVE. Their posts don't really read like someone who cared at all for the game, as in they would probably read exactly the same if Shenmue 3 was actually Puzz Loop 3 or whatever random game you can think of.
"feels disrespectful of my time."
Me and and another user were talking about this in another thread, or maybe this one earlier I dont know i feel like theres multiple review threads, I dont think these guys count, they seem pretty sketchy and as far as I know they havent shown up on metacritic before so I dont think they ever tried to get signed up for it.Hey guys does this review get added to the total in Metacritic? It's a 5/5
Shenmue III Review (PS4)
Welcome back to the world of Shenmue To the die-hard fans who've patiently waited these past 18 years, I won't keep you waiting a moment longer -- Shenmue III is absolutely worth it, go buy it. Forwww.heypoorplayer.com
Trash tier review."Investigations involve talking to basically every person I see until someone happens to know the information needed to proceed, which gives the entire experience the feel of a wild goose chase. ... The trick is just to go everywhere, and talk to everyone, until I find a crime scene. "
Pretty much what I expected from Polygon; they have a very negative review:
Shenmue 3 is passable as nostalgia, but not as a game

But crime scenes are no less methodical, and they’re certainly no more enjoyable. I’m usually stuck in a room with dozens of interactive objects to slowly open, look through, and close again, searching for clues. It’s hard to know where to start, but it doesn’t seem to matter. The best way to continue to move ahead is to check literally every single possible option for information, which is quite the chore.
Polygon is just trolling at this point. The clunky dialogue has always been part of Shenmue's charm. It's astonishing that 18 years later Ys Net managed to recreate the weird cadance that makes the Shenmue english dub so unique and memorable. It just wouldn't feel like Shenmue if it sounded like a modern game.Also their complaint about the dialog? It ain't that fucking bad! Yeah, it's somewhat stilted but it's not THAT bad as they describe it.

Polygon Review said:The poor translation and often impenetrable dialogue combine to give the entire game a sense of jankiness, and comes across as a lack of care and polish. And this is long before I’m introduced to characters that seem locked into harmful — not to mention ridiculously outdated — stereotypes.
Can someone tell me why people trash a game they care nothing about? I seriously have better things to do with my time. I’ll never understand why people waste so much energy on trashing something they have no stake in.
I care nothing about COD, Fortnite, Gears but those can exist for the people who like them. I certainly want those companies to keep making them if it brings joy.
It’s like they’re 14 years old.
Just let a video game exist for someone whose life is enriched by it.
