I enjoyed this. It was very nostalgic and interesting to hear Suzuki-san's thought process, and how the project evolved. It's clear that Shenmue was really a dream. I think it will stay that way in our hearts. :)
It was badass. I played Nights into Dreams (which was mindblowing), Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Panzer Dragoon... those were really great times. It had a HARD DRIVE, none of this silly "memory stick" business. And the controller was super-comfy IMO. :)
@meatz666 P.S. Hm, no offense meant here, but just FYI :) you seem to misunderstand what "karma" is :) By that I mean, it's not what popular culture usually makes it out to be. The word "karma" literally translates to "action". I think that for the most part, Eastern traditions think of it more like "cause and effect" than e.g. "a moral rule(r) that rewards good behaviour, and punishes bad behaviour". E.g. If you hit someone, expect them to be angry/not want to be around you/retaliate - but not because "the universe decided to make it so" exactly, but more because it's a reaction to your initial action (of hitting them). This extends to all things - pollute the environment->expect to breathe toxic fumes, think angry thoughts->create angry actions etc. It differs from tradition to tradition though, somewhat, but I think that's generally it. :p

... Now that I've got that out of my system... it's a respectable choice. If you look past the nostalgia - as they suggest in the video - the latest Zelda game provides ridiculously high quality entertainment - not everyone has been playing Zelda since the NES days.
@nobby94 You're projecting your own prejudices onto a skilled reviewer. It's a good game because it delivers a unique experience. The fact that the love story involves two women is beside the point. The game delivers a well-executed, unique experience that's worth every penny.
