In the previous games, you were on a sort of time limit where you had to sleep at the end of a day. QuickTime Events also make a return, but this time if you fail in one, you can try again right away instead of having to play a whole scene again. This does make the game seem like its dragging on and on, but once you are able to leave the first village (which does take a bit) the game picks up and begins to feel more like Shenmue. Part 3 takes this mechanic to a new level, with almost everyone with information forcing you to do something before they will even begin to help. It wasn’t terrible to accomplish, but it did pad out the story a little. Person tells you to seek the help of someone else. Complete a task for person before they will help you. In the earlier chapters, it was common to complete tasks for people before you could get anywhere with your current objective. There is a larger emphasis on completing tasks that get you one step closer to a main goal. Game play has remained largely unchanged from Parts 1 and 2, but with some interesting changes. The music on the other hand is absolutely awesome from the start, and really keeps with the tradition of the first chapters and their fantastic scores.
Initial impressions are not mind blowing, but as you play on, everything begins to feel more natural and you get used to everything. The loading times also seemed a bit excessive, as it took a few minutes before I was able to control Ryo myself, only to have control taken from me again in a cut scene. While they are mostly gorgeous to look at, some details look blurry and there is some slowdown in odd places. The controls took a bit to get used to since now we have more control over the camera (Thanks to the second Analog stick), but the big focus was on how the visuals looked. When I fired Shenmue III up for the first time, it felt strange. I do highly suggest that you play through the first two games (which are available on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in a double pack) before diving into this third chapter.
