Yu Suzuki Has Caved to Casuals (And His Investors) Shenmue IV Will Be More Casual Friendly And Not a True "F.R.E.E."


Yu Suzuki says a lot of things, so there's no need to panic.  If he nerfs and makes one thing easy and user friendly, he ramps up the challenge on other things.   Hopefully if Suzuki increases the  ease of access on the UI level of the game with stupid quality of life changes for these whiny casual nerds, he will in turn ramp up the challenge on the fighting gameplay.  In Shenmue III, Suzuki made combat fisher price easy so these casual fairies would have it easy, but they didn't appreciate it at all.  These non-gamer casual pieces of shit set every game on easy mode so they can just blast through the game and watch the cutscenes. To them "game" is synonymous with "Digital Movie" they are in it for the story and nothing else.  They will set the controller on turbo fire and tape down the button just sob they have a hand free to pick their noses and watch the cutscenes.  That's all a game is to these millenial cucks: a movie. 


           Case in point: look at the Last Of Us Part II.  These assholes ganged up on Metacritic and gave that game a million Zero rated User Reviews because they didn't like the "story"  .  Look I hated the story in TLOU PT 2 also, but from a gameplay standpoint , it is game of the year, hands down.  It rivals Metal Gear solid in its prime. I played the game from beginning to end.  The gameplay is PHENOMINAL. The stealth is awesome, the weapons are customizable, the crafting system adds strategy to the encounters.  As much as I hate that unfuckable Gina Carano clone Abby, her combat sections were off the chain.  Right off the Bat, she gets a better rifle than Ellie, and you can upgrade it to three round burst.  The stealth sections with both characters are great, you can go prone and hide under objects.  The combat is nuanced, and there is a kind of rage mode Abby can spec out.  Both characters get the option to grab and enemy if they land a heavy hit.  So the combat is not just mindless strings.  All those gameplay nuances, the next generation graphics and you give the game a 0 because "you don't like the story"?!?!? It's not a movie you fucking assholes, its a game first and foremost.  Millenials are spoiled moronic shitheads.  To me story is only worth 20% of the game.  So by that metric TLOU PT2 is an 80 out of 100.  Yes the story sucked, NO Joel shouldn't have died, especially not like a punk as he did.  Yes Dina's unshaved armpit hair made me want to puke.  Yes Abby's complete story arc was worthless and a pathetic attempt to make us sympathize with her. However, Naughty Dog feels obligated to give us a 20+ hour game every time.  They didn't have enough story to just have Ellie travel cross country and shoot Abby in the face. So they wrote a separate story for  Abby to pad the game to 25 hours.  Am I ok with that? Yes and No.  I hated Abby's Resting Bitch Face and her story sucked as well as all her supporting characters. However I LOVED playing as the Ugly Alice-the-Goon bitch and breaking necks Shooting People with the burst-rifle and tossing homemade bombs at them.  At the end of the day, Video games are games first, movies second.
