I think I have my DreamKey somewhere still shrink wrapped. I must find it.

If you can, can you send me a photo of it on a plain background? I'd like to use it

[flipswitch]

Sorry, looks like I threw it out when I was cleaning out my junk ( mostly Canadian stuff) earlier this year.

[pilonv1]

Will check my DC box at the parents place next time I'm there

Still waiting for Ozisoft to send mine that they promised. Maybe I should tweet them.

[Madmya]

I honestly didn't realise this game was coming out already. I'm a little disappointed the box artwork makes no recognition of a kickstarter edition.

[t0mby]

I'd never kickstarted anything before, but that would've been awesome.

[flipswitch]

Same. I just joined up on the E3 reveal.

Only the diehards are saying this is a game worth playing. Everyone else on the other hand....

[Froggy]

I'm enjoying it, it's exactly what I wanted and expected. I can't take the english voices at the start though they are taking the piss with the fan service a bit it's annoying so back to Japanese audio which makes the Shenmue games infinitely better anyway.

Anyone notice that Ryo wears S3 branded shoes and if you go into a store in Panda Markets they sell S4 shoes? Wonder if that's a hint.

[Froggy]

Noticed the shoes last night but not the S4 ones.

I gotta say the longer I've spent with this my review would match this guys:

"One complaint I don't have, however, is with the slow pace. Some people will undoubtedly find it maddening, especially when they play it for an hour and achieve basically nothing. But I really do love the lazy, laid back rhythm of the game. It's hypnotic and absorbing like nothing else on PC, perfectly recapturing the strange, sedate, melancholy magic of the original games. Wise old masters are forever telling Ryo to slow down, to have patience, to resist the urge to rush headlong into a confrontation with Lan Di, the man who killed his father. And it's advice anyone playing Shenmue 3 should take to heart.

Take a stroll through the wildflowers, pick some herbs. Shoot the breeze with the watchmen at the bridge leading into the village. Work on your capsule toy collection. Tell Shenhua about growing up in Japan. In an increasingly loud and relentless world, Shenmue 3 is an ocean of calm. Step back into 1980s China and just go with the flow. That's when that curious, hard to define Shenmue magic emerges and you find yourself completely entranced by it. Will Yu Suzuki ever finish his story? I'm not sure, but being invited back into his world is a rare treat we may never experience again. So might as well savour it, eh?"

[t0mby]

Yeah, tbh enjoying the pace even if I make sure I do 2x Horse Stance, 2x One Inch punch & 2x Sparring to level up. I achieve fuck all each day.

[Froggy]

I've been in the big smoke now for about a week. So many mini games and things to collect the stories gone nowhere. I really really love how he makes a city so vibrant and alive.

[t0mby]

the stories gone nowhere.

This has been a complaint I've read a few times in impressins after completion. I reckon Suzuki-san wasn't sure how far to take it if there was no guarantee of a sequel.
