SIFTD has been doing that for I think almost their whole tenure. It really does add to the show even though you CAN get away with just audio, being able to see sometimes is the only way to properly communicate it.

2022-05-12 20:16:11 +0000 UTCIt's been a hot little minute since I've actually posted something. Great discussion this week people. I think my only pushback with the Shenmue discussion is, isn't Yakuza essentially a spiritual successor to Shenmue? Aren't the people that worked on Yakuza (and Virtua Fighter) the same minus Yu Suzuki (and maybe a couple other key figureheads) I say that because if Yu Suzuki is trying to come with a Shenmue 4 I don't see why he don't borrow elements from Yakuza. Hell, try to fix whatever relationships that happened back then and try to work on it together with Yakuza devs for all I care. As a huge Shenmue fan I was very disappointed with Shenmue 3. I'm sorry, I'm not Huber and I'm not the type that can look over the bad and focus on the positives. If I don't like how the controls feel I'm not going to enjoy the game. Straight up, Game-play trumps everything for me and I didn't like how Shenmue 3 played. Huber basically covered everything but I had to reiterate the combat portion of game play. Anyway, L&R
