Look, Shenmue is one of my favourite games ever but I can't understand why anyone would complain about how someone else plays a game. This is not supposed to be "the best way" to play Shenmue, this is just supposed to be their playthrough of the game. JohnyMyko's comment underneath sums it all up:
I like when they keep missing, get frustrated, get happy, do it on the first try, do it on the 99th try. I like when they do it the way they want it, because that's what makes this series so good.
