Liam Pritchard of Brash Games writes "4 months from now, chances are, I will have forgotten the majority of Assassin’s Creed III with its problems more likely to remain fresh in the memory than its positives. Shenmue though? Well, 13 years on and I’ll still regale just about anybody willing to list listen on the games’ many, many virtues. Above all else, it would be the believability of its game world and its host of memorable characters".
Non-playable characters in certain games are meme material, thanks to their foolish behavior. These are the big-budget games with the dumbest NPCs.
Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩
Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.
Here are the most peaceful areas in games that are otherwise quite violent, offering players respite from chaos in the game world.
My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.
I literally just came here to post this. That music in the Resi 1 safe rooms is playing in my head.
I was thinking TLOU work benches. Although I remember one time where it was a false security.
Perfect. 👌👌
I'd add the top of my highrise apartment in GTA Online. That calm, quiet peace, just knowing as soon as I step out that door I will be bombarded by 8 and 12 year olds calling each other n**** and f****, trolled by combat jets and rocket launchers.
The entire map of SotC is peaceful as hell. Used to just ride around exploring it.
Afterlife in Cyberpunk 2077 is a peaceful area? Erm, hands down and very hard to miss, Misty Olszewski's Esoterica is the absolute epitome of peaceful areas in that game.
The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.
With the recent reveal of Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the promise that the series will return to its roots, there hasn’t been a better time to get stuck into Assassin’s Creed’s back catalog, whether it’s replaying an old favorite or getting lost in previously looked-over classic.
I really enjoyed Assassins Creed 3. My only complaint was that I didn’t enjoy when I had to switch from Connor to Desmond. It’s a personal preference, but Connor’s story was just more fun for me.
On a side note, Black flag was the most enjoyable of the AC games I played.
How many open world games have truly captured that feel Shenmue gave. You seriously felt like everyone was living in the worlds. Dammit I miss Shenmue.
Really want a remake of the series... it should be significantly easier to create now then it was when it first was make
I miss Shenmue with Sega releasing other Dreamcast titles on PSN and XBL I was hoping to see Shenmue 1&2 on both PSN and XBL.
I'm glad someone came forward and said this I been waiting almost 15 yrs for shenmue 3 and I won't give up hope but todays open workd games are sweet skyrim far cry 3 and many more but they still lack soul. I remember randomly knocking on strangers front doors and asking them questions about my mission and some would bitch me out saying its late and some would actually give me directions. Also remember spending hrs just practicing my kung fu even though I haven't got a shot at LAN Di the guy who killed ryo 's father . Shenmue was ahead of its time and in many ways still ahead of our current games .That us just the tip of the iceburg I have high hopes for next gen I want more games like shenmue and more replay value in our single player games
Shenmue was amazing and I agree with most comments, that the game felt that way because of how alive everything felt within the game.
I honestly haven't felt as immersed in game as I have in Shenmue, prob the closest game was Journey.
That game really was a Shenmue of this generation IMO....not really a gameplay successor but an immersion successor definitely. I truly felt like I was battling for my life near the end, and felt connected with my partner.
Anyways, I completely lost fate in Shenmue 3, all I want to see is 1 + 2 HD, and I'll be happy.
Also for those that like shenmue I'd give sleeping dogs and Yakuza.
They both have a little bit of Shenmue in them, but you will not be as immersed imo.
Things that break the immersion or feeel different than shenmue for the games are:
Sleeping Dogs: Difference is the way the game play's and potrays itself, it lacks the attention to detail Shenmue has, the story and the uniqueness in character models.
Yakuza: It really completely breaks immersion because of the lack voice during gameplay. Most of the voice acting is kept for scripted Story telling, all NPCs are silent beeping and text typers:P
Anywho,
Hope to see Shenmue 1+2 HD. Want it on PC/PS3 and PS vita:)
