Why is it that every single step that Ryo takes, including when he is walking, ends with a very loud *THUMP* *THUMP* *THUMP* *THUMP* It's unbelievably annoying and the thumping sound overrides the brilliant soundtrack playing in the backround, and the epic dialogue going on between the characters. You'd think with a $100,000,000 budget back in 1999 someone would have noticed this.
I bought Shenmue on launch day and it was one of my most anticipated games ever up to this day, but I never noticed this as a 12 year old when I received it as a Christmas gift. I still own my original copy, no Dreamcast anymore, but I will be getting one soon and start rebuilding my old collection. However I'm afraid when I go back to play Shenmue because I'm afraid it will tarnish the nostalgia I had for the game. Shenmue was IIRC the first "open world game" preceding GTA3 and fucking blew my mind at the time. Are there any GAFfers with a DC and a copy of Shenmue 1 or 2 Import that can play the game to see if Ryo's annoying footsteps translate into the everyday gameplay?
Still though when that music kicks in at 2:16, memories started flooding back.
