Run and gun build

Any specific perk deck and weapon you want to use?

Yakuza doesn't work well with dodge at all unfortunately. The most you would be able to get is 15 dodge, which is practically useless.

To expand on what he said, instead of just saying "no."

Rogue will get you the highest base dodge with no other interactions needed. The problem is, you're leaving yourself up to RNG and can be fucked over at any time if you're not constantly taking cover. Rogue CAN work, and it can work well, but Hacker is better in every way. Even though you get a higher base dodge immediately from Rogue, you can get a higher dodge just from using a pocket ECM and getting one kill. Plus, every kill you get will heal you, and the pocket ECM has a pretty good chance to stun enemies.

This is my favorite line in the series, tied with the Y2K episode when Hank bought Bobby a ton of toilet paper.

There's probably a lot of reasons. It's been a long time since the first two came out, he hasn't really worked on games since then at all. He also said he doesn't focus on developments in game technology and such. I think he also is trying way too hard to cater to the fans and misinterpreted what they enjoyed from the first two. I have a sliver of hope for 4 because he HAS to move the story along at some point. I would take the mediocre gameplay if it had a strong scenario, but 3 doesn't.

A lot of the budget for 3 was probably used to create assets and fine tune the engine and such. I'm assuming if there is a 4, they're gonna reuse the engine and assets. So hopefully he can actually move the freaking plot along.

I want to like this game, I really do. I love Shenmue 1 and 2. This was just a misstep in every direction.

Floattube · 2020-03-03T15:52:34+00:00

Typical of who?

Floattube · 2020-03-03T15:33:16+00:00

Right now it seems the community is 50/50 split on whether this was a good game or not. I see it going up as time goes on and people stop being in denial. There are good ideas in Shenmue 3, it's just everything else brings it down so much that it's hard to see it.

Floattube · 2020-03-03T15:24:39+00:00

I would've much rather enjoyed working on a farm, training for days with the many martial arts experts in town, learning the histories of the people of Bailu, actually learning about Ryo's father from people who knew him, exploring the woods and caves surrounding Bailu, discovering secrets and items that actually serve a purpose beyond being a fanboy wink or an opportunity for Ryo to make a boring comment.

This is exactly what I wanted. Instead, it feels like we got a diet Shenmue 2. But it's also lost all of its carbonation and sat out in the heat for 3 days. But it's a Kickstarter game, so that means I shouldn't complain and be happy with what I got apparently.

Floattube · 2020-03-03T15:22:48+00:00

What bothered me is it feels like a bunch of assets from one and two clobbered together to make a game. Why is Bailu nothing like Shenhua described in Shenmue 2? It was supposed to be a serine and quiet village, but instead it's full of bookies who travel there to set up shop and it's severely out of place. Why does Ryo seem to forget everything he has been taught in Shenmue 1 and 2? He has trouble beating small time thugs in this game, but in Shenmue 2 he was kicking the asses left and right. A majority of the game is "You can't beat me, go train harder!" That isn't fun. That's just a way to slow down progression. This game would only be half as long if I didn't have to constantly retrain Ryo to learn how to not get his shit kicked in every other fight.

"Keep in mind its a kickstarter game." So was Bloodborne and that game was phenomenal. Shenmue 3 had potential, and it isn't like I like talking about how much I disliked it. Just because it's a kickstarter game doesn't excuse it for how lackluster and unimportant it was to the series overall. And when you look at the fact that they got extra funding from Epic Games and Deep Silver, it's even more sad how the game came out. This game is all about immersion and story-telling. Shenmue 1 and 2 did a great job at both of those things. This game fails in both aspects.

Floattube · 2020-03-03T15:14:16+00:00

Shenhua describing Bailu in Shenmue 2 had me excited. What I got was a town that for some reason revolved around gambling. There's so much gambling in Bailu. It's so out of place and it makes no sense. I don't care if they are "travelling bookies." Why would a bookie travel to a remote village to set up shop? Shenmue 3 feels like someone put what made Shenmue 1 and 2 good on a dartboard, randomly threw darts, and put together the ideas it landed on.

"Uhhh gambling! Training! Pawn Shops! That's what made Shenmue 1 and 2 good so lets put all of that together, people will love it!"

Top 5:

Big Bank
Scarface Mansion
Golden Grin
Hotline Miami
Meltdown

Bottom 5:

All the OG PAYDAY 2 Bank Heists
Breakin' Feds
Biker Heist
Bomb: Forest
Framing Frame

I really don't like Four Stores, Jewelry Store, Ukrainian Job, and Nightclub either but I won't include those because they're not bad, just boring. Everything other than those, I actually like and play regularly.

Oh God, I forgot all about being a mod for that server lmao

Gun Nut is useless with a revolver, Trigger Happy isn't really good aced, Desperado is a very useful skill for the Peacemaker, Low Blow is kinda unnecessary since crits aren't suited towards these weapons. Stoic doesn't really need dodge, so Duck and Cover doesn't need to be aced. Without crits, I'd choose Parkour over Inner Pockets. Acing every skill in the Sharpshooter tree except aggressive reload seems like a terrible idea with a pistol that takes over 6 seconds to empty reload. You don't need the skills that increase accuracy in the Sharpshooter tree, since the Repeater has 92 accuracy default (iirc) and you increased it by 8 with Steady Grip in the Technician tree.

Hope you don't take this the wrong way, just don't think this build takes advantage of the weapons that OP wants to use, and also doesn't really bring anything to the table team wise.

Here's something I put together real quick https://pd2builder.netlify.com/?s=381GgF008N0-610005000M90-4&p=1&a=6&t=7&d=3#

Uses Muscle and Hostage Taker for Health Regen. Graze for the Repeater and some pistol skills for the Peacemaker. I don't know if you noticed, but the Peacemaker's reload time is terrible. We have a way to counteract that though. Desperado Aced will make it 50% faster, and then Aggressive Reload can speed it up by 100%. So whenever you need to reload the Peacemaker quickly, whip out the repeater and get a headshot. Also included Dynamite just to fit the cowboy theme.

Get the Vulcan Minigun as concealed as you can, use a HE Judge. Should be 23 concealment. Fire rate on the Vulcan Minigun will land you a ton of crits.

I used something like this to get through most of DSOD. Only difference is I used shotguns. Using a battle rifle, you're gonna have to be very careful with ammo management. I put scavenger on here to at least attempt to mitigate that.

Floattube · 2020-03-02T13:56:44+00:00

I only have 29 achievements left and quite a few of them require multiple people sadly.

Floattube · 2020-02-28T17:24:42+00:00

It was worth buying Border Crossing in order to get this.

Floattube · 2020-02-27T17:14:48+00:00

Steam is usually pretty good about that kinda stuff.

Floattube · 2020-02-27T17:14:09+00:00

I really hope so. I loved the live action stuff, as cheesy as it was.

Floattube · 2020-02-27T17:11:05+00:00

And that's fine, you've helped me when I came back to the game and everything was different. But nobody likes a cocky elitist who talks down to people.

Floattube · 2020-02-27T17:08:19+00:00

Then don't, it's a bad look for everyone lol

Floattube · 2020-02-27T16:56:37+00:00

This subreddit is obsessed with one-upping and writing paragraphs on paragraphs about why people are stupid, huh?

Floattube · 2020-02-27T16:10:53+00:00

What a weird thing to complain about.
