I was thinking of getting Shenmue 1-3 on Steam because it’s a game I always wanted to play but didn’t have a Dreamcast (was a loyal Sony guy before joining the PC Master Race). Is it a fun game or should I save my money?
Also, I’ve mentioned before that I love the dynasty warriors series. Any other games with that sort of fighting style? I wish it would expand to other parts of the globe. I know it’s nerdy but in the second one I thought it was really cool that it had an encyclopedia with info about the real life of each character. Romance of the Three Kingdoms could make a great mini series
Yeah, Shenmue is prototype Yakuza. It had alot of ideas but is kinda clunky and not really fun to play these days. Yakuza 0 or Like a Dragon is a good place to start if you want brawling, Like a Dragon is turn based but still fun. As for other brawling games, Sleeping Dogs is under-rated. Dark Messiah features a system where you can grab people and kick them around. Takes a bit to get use too.
For Musou, I've played a few Koei games. The One Piece Warriors series is great for all the unique characters and no filler story. 3 and 4 are good places to start. Attack on Titan 2 is a secret love because slicing necks with 6 foot long katanas never gets old. There was the Berserk one that has cutscenes from the 1998 anime up to the Eclipse. That ends with them getting on the boat. There's Bladestorm I tried to get into, couldn't really. There was also Arslan which I likewise found boring. The warriors orochi and nintendo games I have no experience with.
