Games like Shenmue

Can you guys tell me ( please ) a list of games with a deep beautiful story?

I miss those kinds of games.. the Shenmue series really got me and I was wondering if there were other games out there that have some intense story, possibly close to reality, like Shenmue. I really liked wandering around the city and interact with the enviroment in that game, so immersive and intriguing, imo.

Anyways I do miss those kinds of games as well, the atmosphere was amazing, the interaction was great. I feel like this generation resolves around shooting too much, developers are afraid to part from the constant action and games like Shenmue due to the fair that it might not sell.

Yakuza is a good shenmue simulator, it has alot of elements its made by the same people i believe also. Only on the playstation platforms if thats not a problem.Fightingfan

They were both created by Sega's arcade divisions. Shenmue was AM2 (Yu Suzuki's team responsible for Virtua Fighter). Yakuza was Amusement Vision.

What sets Shenmue apart though is the sheer level of detail. Being able to look in drawers, enter or interact with most buildings in the area, every single NPC having their own voice actor, etc. Yakuza has nothing like that sadly. They both have a very authentic Asian feel to them though.

Shenmue BLEW MY MIND. Sailors, FORKLIFTS!!! The Afterburner Arcade Cabinet, the toys you can collect from those machines... Catching a leaf between your fingers = The most epic thing I've ever experienced. :D Plus that end walk through that beautiful forest at the end of Shenmue 2 was just wow.

Some games I know with deep story:

- Max Payne series

- Zelda series

- Okami

- Heavy Rain

- Ico, Shadow of the Colossus

- Metal Gear saga

- Alan Wake

well I guess only Max Payne and Heavy Rain are "close to reality", like you said. For the rest there are many adventure games on Pc, but wow.. I just realized how unique is Shenmue.

it's sad that there are so few games revolving around some deep story

Onimusha should have a good story too, not quite realistic though.

Heavy Rain is basically a western Shenmue, gameplay's nearly identical (except for the CSI stuff).

Ijn terms of gameplay you have the Yakuza games and Deadly Premonition.Arach666

Spot on

Honestly, I don't think there is a game like Shenmue; that game is a one of a kind masterpiece.

Disagree... Shenmue actually had a lot of exploration, secrets and a real time battle mode (using the Virtua Fighter engine no less). Even a weather system coupled with days and nights. Heavy Rain is just moving from scene to scene, with some QTE's thrown in and it's all over very quickly.

with all due respect..Yakuza sucks. it's even irreverent to compare it with Shenmue.
