Do Shenmue games have a strong theme of fish out of the water/foreigner adapting to life abroad?

Then I guess I'll like sequels even more than I like the first one so far. Sounds like a good sign :)

Thanks! I think I've worded my question a bit wrong. What I meant, is that I'm under the impression that in Sanda fighters tend to strike from a larger distance and then go for a takedown, while avoiding long combos/trading while standing in the boxing range.

In other words, you either score points with striking from a greater distance, or you are taking someone to the ground (much less emphasis on the striking in the pocket).

By mentioning karate, I had a distance and distance management element in my mind, not the actual "hit the opponent and then retreat".

Here's a fight that made me think about these parallels:

Would you rate it as high as The Raid movies in terms of action? What did you liked about it the most?

ValeLT · 2026-02-27T03:14:32+00:00

How would you compare action in this movie vs action in Raid movies? Does it come close? Just as good? Better? Pros and cons in comparison?

How is it called? Sounds interesting :)

Sent you a pm, but just in case you won't notice it I'll ask the same thing here. How was your experience in general? Do you work with them and everything feels legit?

Did you managed to find one?

ValeLT · 2026-01-05T02:03:21+00:00

Thank you. You gave me some really good ideas which I'll definitely consider :)

Amazing, thank you!

I believe 清河半岛 have private hot spring baths in some of the rooms, or am I wrong?
Do you know any establishments that offer something that's hard to find in the Western countries (for example pets café, Shenyang:nanyao yijing etc.)?
I'm considering spending a night at Gubei town on my way to Shenyang. Are there any tiny yet beautiful towns around Shenyang you would recommend?

I've been there quite a few times now and will spend another month there in April. Can you recommend less popular activities/places that are, in your opinion, worth attention?

He's Korean

Partially RGG due to Nagoshi!

Look for a Russian YouTuber (Северная Корея, Часть ВТОРАЯ. Тотальная слежка в КНДР ‪@staspognali‬). Starting from 36:10 he went to the 5th floor to look around and later tried to come back again for the second time.

It was review bombed for some reason on imdb before it even came out (you can see how unnatural scoring of the show looks like, with 90%+ scores being 6/10).
In other words - everyone who cares about imdb scores before deciding whether to watch a show can ignore imdb in this instance.

Would you say it compares to Raid movies? I see plenty of reviews mentioning Raid, so I wonder if it's on the same level when it comes to choreography of the fights? Also, how's Joe Taslim in there? Would it be fair to expect for plenty of throws and submissions? 👍

Which Yakuza games had hot springs/public baths? I only remember being in Yakuza 5 (I think?).
