          DO BORING THINGS THAT SUCK IN REAL LIFE BUT NOW IN A VIDEO GAME!

          The best part of Shenmue was playing the arcade games.

            I'll give it up for Shenmue in regards to pretty much inventing the modern QTE but the game itself wasn't actually good. Go on and replay it now and tell me that it's still a good game. DO EET.

                It had fun concepts and ideas begging for a proper continuation, and seeing it all snuffed out before either the story or these concepts could really be explored still irks me. Seaman also fell on the sword of non-profitability. The demise of that system was a symbolic demise of innovation.

                  For me Seaman was at least fun only because it was so fucking wierd and trying to teach him to say penis hammer was a game in of itself.. Shenmue was very ambitious but it wasn't all that fun.

                    That's what I'm supersayan.

                    Ambition to try something new gets you much further in my book than "HEY NEW MAPS"

                        I'm with you man, but to say innovation died with Dreamcast is a bit wrong wouldn't you say?

                          Trust me, I'm all about ambition or trying something new. I'm the ass that buys all the new tech (move, wii, 3ds, kinect, etc) and sometimes it's great (3ds, kinect, wii) sometimes it's not (move, fuck you MOVE YOU SUCK).

                            The kind of innovation I'm talking about died with it, yes.

                            Nothing since has been as far out as Seaman, but the deathknell for the DC wasn't a cessation of progress. It just took a different route (a route that didn't involve an aquarium).

                            Life finds a way.

                                Are talking innovation in gaming? Technology? both?

                                If gaming I'd say Little Big Planet and it's ilk of user generated content is more innovating than Shenmue could ever hope to be.

                                If technology I'd say the 3dS is more innovating than the VMU. Once again just my opinion and I still own like 5 VMU's. MY SONIC CREATURES WILL NEVER DIE.
