it literally is a 6 for all intents and purposes who cares.
5.9 is a red mark! 6.0 is yellow.

I dont get what you mean? Like on metacritic? Cause no its still yellow its below 5 thats considered red, if you mean like on an overall grading standard, then anything below 70 is generally considered failing anyway or at the very best, really unsatisfactory.5.9 is a red mark! 6.0 is yellow.
You could like....read his review instead of flinging personal attacks, his main problem with the game seems far more to be the lack of story progression and the combat of 3 itselfFuck, I just realised the guy that did IGN S3 review is Kyle Hilliard. The same KH formerly of GameInformer. I know because I watched their old letsplay Shenmue 1 vid not long ago. Go and watch it, you'll know what I mean, if you haven't already. I really didn't think he'd be so harsh. So that laughing while they were playing S1 wasn't because it was a charming old DC game, it was because he was being a wee condescending prick.
if it needs to pull a yakuza 2 and drop the dub then maybe, but I think if they are getting that strapped for cash anyway shenmue 4 just straight up wouldnt be happening anyway. Like thats stuff super small games do that break even at like 20,000 copies and only expect to sell about little over that do such as digimon cyber sleuth of the new atelier games or whatever (granted ryza has tapped into that horny advertisement so the next one might aford a dub). I mean even yakzua eventually went back to adding a dub 2 games ago (fotns and judgement)
personally I dont want them to remove the dub, I just want them to actually try with it and above all a better translation anyway, some of this shit is truly awful and translates stuff so literally when you cannot translate japanese to english literally without it breaking the language. I dont blame the actors at all, I fully blame whoever was the adr person.
If they get Scott who does the yakuza games from 5 and up (sole exception of him not being involved was fotns) to do the translation or even assist then we'd have some spectacular localization, Like keep in mind thats the guy that worked overtime with his team to make 2 different scripts one for the japanese track and one for the English track for judgement cause he wanted both the sub to be authentic and the dub to have a more natural sounding english track, that man is dedicated to make a damn good translation and then some. I think we all want sega to be involved in 4, but I just dont see them going near the series especially if 3 doesnt do greatMy hope is that Shenmue IV comes back to Sega and then Atlus handles the localization. Even Indie games nowadays are getting acceptable acting performances (though to be fair, a lot of those are developed in the Western market). Just no excuse for this at all, and if it's intentional it's a huuuuuuuuuuge miscalculation.
Oh my god yes, I hate that elitist crap, like its fine to not like shenmue its not something to do with only liking big dumb action games or some shit. Even then theres nothing wrong with that different strokes for different folks.Also, I don't want to come across as confrontational but I get a bit annoyed at the sentiment here that anyone who doesn't like Shenmue is just a dude-bro or a doesn't like "games as art", or any of those similar thoughts. The gaming landscape has changed a lot and there are a ton of slower paced games that are well reviewed and popular. We probably have the most variety of gaming experiences in this industries history.
I do think Shenmue is different from anything I've ever played and Shenmue II is my favorite game of all-time, but I don't think that anyone who doesn't like the series is a moron. I also don't think I'm some special being who's on a higher plane of existence just because I love these games.
Exactly. Thank you.I don't think you really understand what he was saying at all, your not just putting words into his mouth, your starting and finishing an entirely different conversation than what hes talking about and somehow getting offended by the topic you started.
Like man he wasnt even specifically talking about ign but modern perceptions overall let alone anything close to cod, the fuck you even on about.
I did read the review before I posted ( how else would I know it was him ). My point still stands. In what world does that read like a 5.9? Since that's the case, then it doesn't justify the score he gave, does it, would you agree Yes/No?You could like....read his review instead of flinging personal attacks, his main problem with the game seems far more to be the lack of story progression and the combat of 3 itself
Jesus its just a different opinion, he wasn't lying or being disingenuous, hell he took the time to finish the game evne if it'd be a few days late he just expressed that the game wasnt good for him. It reads like far worse of a 5.9 cause he didnt have many if any positives, if anything he seems to be generous.I did read the review before I posted ( how else would I know it was him ).

A lot of the reviews read more positive than the scores they give imo. It's like a reverse Death Stranding situation.I did read the review before I posted ( how else would I know it was him ).

Just to be clear, my insult was to do with the letsplay, not the review. You're right, it is just his opinion. I respect that, we all have one. Not the 5.9. Why not round it to a 6 ( they class that as "okay" rating ) The thing is most people don't read reviews. They skim to the bottom to find the score, which as you know is pretty crap, mediocre, to be precise.Jesus its just a different opinion, he wasn't lying or being disingenuous, hell he took the time to finish the game evne if it'd be a few days late he just expressed that the game wasnt good for him.

I mean come on we have got to have more backbone than to fling personal insults over a guy not liking a video game.

I see that a lot of people in here don't have a favorable opinion towards the dub which is completely understandable given how awkward and unnatural it sounds, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a mistake. Dunno about you guys, but I see the route they've taken as an homage to the old martial arts films with bad dubbing and that makes it all the more endearing for me. I might just have a weird taste though.
Given that most publishers seem to be trending towards rehashing the same game time and time again (FIFA, COD, Assasins Creed, etc), I’d say that S3 very much reflects other modern game franchises.I wouldn't mind if they wrote the game was poorly executed and lacked of content, because it's true. But the argument about "ignoring the trends" is the perfect way to demonstrate you're a complete tool.
