I didn't know at the time but I would be really glad that I was able to just say hi and tell Ryan how awesome he and the rest of the crew were after the GB Pax East 2013 panel. A simple interaction but a really important moment to me now. He will always be missed for all that chaotic energy that he brought to any video.
@rorie: By the time I finished my first playthrough I only fully leveled up Mark and Linda. Having a extra dodge and more speed seemed pretty useful to me so that is why I focused on them first. Everyone else ended up around lvl 10.
@undeadpool: Huh that seems really bad. This game has two moments where characters split off from the main party but it only happens when they are first introduced. So they are balanced fairly well with the enemies around the area they have to explore. Plus on the first time it happens Nina actually gets some generic guards as party members so she can't really die during that section.
@monkeyking1969: I do plan on playing Shenmue 3 as well. I'll likely wait till it goes on sale at some point but I am curious to see if it really just ends up being more of the same. I do like that we are getting more of Yu's vision. But I wish he would have condensed it a bit more. Unless something changed I don't think we are going to get a satisfying conclusion in S3. I would love for the new game to sell well but it very much seems like the only way we are going to get the full story is if it was turned into a novel.
