Stanima Bar!!!
This was by far the biggest issue I had with the gameplay. Ryo should have had a seperate Stanima bar when Running like how in Battel you had an Endurance bar fo blocking.
Starting the game this was a massive hinderance, I didn't even wantto run at all in fearof losing my health and this really messed up my intentory in the game as I would use items in fear of a story scene about to commence only to find that I wasted it because the scene would end the day - which then would mean I'd have to recover my health items by doing more jobs.
Also, there was one moment in the game where I was low on health and planned to recover prior to reaching the story point - Well, sadly I over steeped the mark and got heavily beat down all from running, which wore down my health upon reaching the destination. It;s a really bad gaemplay mechanic and feel it is the main issue I have with the game.
Sort out the Capsule Toy Winning Rates:
I found myself not enjoying Capsule toy Machines in this game - which in itself is a sad affair. Every set clearly had one Super Rare Toy and it was ridiculous to get. I understand the reasoning as you can trade the sets for serious bucks but it tring to get the are Toy after 100 tries gets old. If they need to reduce the payout for the sets to counter-act this I'd gladly take that.
Music:
I think the music in Shenmue III is really distracting (We have a thread on that already as it is such a big issue) with issues of poor looping, odd clipping and to be honest very ill fitting music - Walking into a shop, which has the Darts theme playing was just too jarring. Get the game was on a budget, but I'd rather they just have the Outdoor themes playthroughout all the buildings instead of an old theme put into.
Dialogue skpping:
In the old game I would skip right at the end of the delivery to keep the dilaogues pace better, sadly you cannot do that in this game unless you've heard the dialogue within that Day - Turn that feature On for all of the dialogue.
That's all that comes to mind really. I actually found the gameplay to be really solid and enjoyable - The game featured the best Mini-games of the series for me overall.
