Best game ever?
Second point is, cause of that a lot of people didn't play one of the best games ever. That game is Shenmue chapter 1. First time i played it i was amazed....The beginning of Shenme is an in-game engine intro wich was unique for that time. The Dialogue, the music and voice all done real time.
So the story goes by a young guy called Ryo who wants to avenge his fathers death (that intro). It takes place in a real time world where every NPC has an own life, purpose to do things in a day. So when u walk by a person in the morning who's leaving home, you have a chance u seen that same person in the evening walking back home from work. All that happens in a real time day and night system including weather effects as rain and snow.
The story itself isn't really the MOST amazing thing. It's the atmosphere that is created by the graphics and the amazing music that changes along with the time of day. I loved it when it was night wandering the streets seeing a businessman wandering drunk haha allong with great music.
Places u visit are the harbor and the town u live in, not amazingly big, but plenty to do..like talking to people, playing arcade games or collecting SEGA figures from capsules.
There are fighting scenes in it wich revolve around the story.
There is nothing more to say i guess.
Play and see and hear to belive it is one of the best games ever made.
Hopefully one day we'll all be playing all Shenmue chapters on a next gen console.
