The Shenmue 3 Review Thread

You honestly don’t notice this? It’s not conjecture that mainstream gaming outlet routinely ignore and diminish Sega’s contributions to the industry. Just look at IGN’s recent “Top 100 Games of All Time” list. Not a single Sega game. No Daytona USA, no Sega Rally, no Sonic 3 & Knuckles, no Space Harrier, no Virtua Fighter, no Shining Force, no House of the Dead, no Phantasy Star, no Panzer Dragoon Saga, etc. https://www.ign.com/lists/top-100-games

Call me crazy, but I think for this to happen you need to be either incredibly ignorant of the industry you’re presenting yourself as an expert of or you need to actively dislike the company.

I remember reading this a few months ago. I know everybody's top games of all time are subjective, but I find it hard to accept that they didn't include a single game from one of the biggest names in the industry.

Thanks for all this though by the way, you are part of the reason why this community is so awesome! This list provides such an easy way to look back on for the future.
 
I'd admit, as much of a rollercoaster release Deathstranding and Pokemon Sw/SH had, Shenmue's underdog reception will be the better turnaround success story if we make it to IV without the failsafe net those two titles have as backup. The suspense of YS and community struggles to see another much needed entry will be another documentary worthy entry. Provided this timeline doesn't jinx us into a bad ending.
 
Thanks, that's where I come from.
Me too pal
