The moment i saw the promotional material, i knew it was gonna suck. Then i saw the trailer & was 100% sure it was gonna be horrible. I was 100% right.
Don't make an adaptation of any book/videogame unless you can be 100% faithful to the characters & story. If you can't, then just don't bother making it at all. Also, don't add forced social or political messages to the original content.
4/10 is probably right. I wouldn't bother watching to confirm that though.
That average user rating of 8.1/10 (17 votes) is in stark contrast of Gamespot's 5/10.
I'm gonna trust that user review over these overrated reviewer reviews. More often then not, these so called "professional" reviewers underrate good games & overrate bad ones.
As someone who never played the Shenmue games, i like what I'm seeing here. Yes the game looks outdated & has poor facial animations, but the level design & setting sure reminds me of Sleeping Dogs (which was epic). I'm gonna give it a shot.
There are two types of gamers. Intelligent gamers & dumb gamers. This game is only for the former. The other type of gamers can be seen unreasonably criticizing this game in the below comments.
