I think the Shenmue series is the best series that no one plays, it was the first open ended game came before GTA 3, and has a great story as well

I had the original Shenmue for Dreamcast and beat it like 2 or 3 times. It's a damn good game that not many people played it. I recently bought the Xbox sequel, and haven't gotten around to it thanks to Halo 2, Metroid, and Metal Gear. I should go finish it...

Lots of people play Shenmue, it just didn't have a lot of advertisement.

My best system is a dreamcast and i love Shenmue. Unfoutunatly, after I got a new dreamcast, Shunmue broke and I could no longer play it. It was so good, though.

LOL, like the other guys said "Do you know where sailors hang out?", "Where can I find some sailors?", "Have you seen any sailors around here?"...my friends and I laughed so hard the first time we played that game.

Speaking of the Dreamcast, anyone remember that game where you raised that stupid little thing and you had to talk to it and stuff? What a lame game that was...

"I need a naked sailor right now damn it, tell me where I can find one or I'll break your neck!!!"

I'm not a hater, I just think the sailor thing, the horrible dialogue, and the creepy children that say the most idiotic things don't make up a great game.

the story, the mini games, the fighting system, and the setting ( make it close, but not the present, the Japannesse and Chinanesse feel is nice too) is why this is a good game that is worth a look.

Ahhhh, the Dreamcast. Sweet, sweet nostalgia!

Remember playing Quake 3 online? Wasn't there really low max player limit on each of the maps?

How about Phantasy Star Online? My first MMORPG! That was cool as hell until everybody started hacking the code and killing eachother. (Or some scum took your Spread Needle when you was dead :-<)

Ahhhh, bitter sweet memories.
