I am glad that he doesn't want to divulge that information. Once he gives up on keeping it a secret, I think he has moved on from Shenmue.

He basically gave away the ending!

That's true, actually, and that was kind of disappointing.

How? Come on, who the bloody hell didn't know that Ryo was going to lose his burning rage by the end. It's the classic formula.

Yes, I thought the classic formula would be to not forgive but to at least kick his ass to within an inch of life. I really don't mind that he turns into best buds with Lan Di, but I am disappointed in the fact that Yu divulged the info.

I'm sure if Shenmue was a success we'd be playing a Ryo & Lan Di crime fighting duo sim

I reckon they'll still have that final fight at the end. Just that maybe Ryo won't torture him.

I think it would be incredible if Ryo shot fire balls at Lan Di and Lan di did a kamehameha

I'd like them to fist fight, Ryo wins, spares Lan Di, then Lan Di shoots him. Theres a great twist and moral

I think they will have a fight, Lan-Di will under estimate Ryo's strength and skill, and lose, but rather than kill Lan-Di Ryo will spare his life, thus breaking the chain of revenge. Ryo will come home and marry Nozomi lol How? Come on, who the bloody hell didn't know that Ryo was going to lose his burning rage by the end. It's the classic formula. Certainly not in gaming Shenmue is not your average videogame though is it? if it was you'd be able to beat up random people in the street

Yes. I'd love to punch Goro. And those twats in the blue dresses. And Nozomi for the lols. and to see up her skirt more as she falls

I just stumbled upon LongsunZhao's video (you remember the video, from the start of this thread?) on YouTube, at random. Then I recognised the URL at the end as being the old address for this forum. So on the off chance that LZ reads this: it's a really nice video, I enjoyed it.  On the topic of more (relatively) recent posts in the thread, I don't think you need to look further than the endings of the first two Yakuza games (and possibly the rest, I haven't played them yet) for examples of how to redeem a villain without shortchanging the player on that climactic battle against them. Yakuza 2 achieved this particularly well.

Indeed, Yak 2 is a gaming highlight for me. Not quite as good as Shenmue though, but my favourite Yakuza games out of the ones (the only other one I've played is 3, which was still pretty good as well, but not quite as tight)
