I know this is a bit late but I just beat Shenmue II and now I have more reason to be pumped! Honestly there were many moments that made me groan out loud (running up those 17 floors of the Yellow Head Building) but these little moments made me love the game more honestly. It was one of the most immersive games I've ever played, and I pray to Jeebus and Buddha that Shenmue III will kick the shit out of my brains. I've had Shenmue II since I was like five and didn't beat it until now and my life feels more complete for it.
List is stuff that reminds me of the games.
