It amazes me how Nagoshi's Amusement Vision, now known as Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios, produced legendary and high-quality games like Monkey Ball, F-Zero GX, Scud Race, and Yakuza back in the day. But what happened to AM2? They really dropped the ball with Shenmue, and that seems to be it for them. During the sixth gen, I can't recall anything notable from AM2 other than Shenmue, which was more of a walking simulator and ended up being the final straw for SEGA. It feels like Nagoshi's Ryu Ga Gotoku/Yakuza took Suzuki's vision with Shenmue and transformed it into something truly FUN and ENJOYABLE, areas where Shenmue seriously fell short.

What's VR's take on Yakuza? Is it the "Shenmue killer" or "Shenmue precursor"?

If you were a Shenmue fag back then, how did you feel playing Yakuza on PS2?

Does anyone else think that Ocarina of Time commands too much reverence? It was a good game when it came out on home consoles, but I've seen many gaming outlets put it at the top of their 100 games of all time lists. Surely it's not that good anymore. It's probably the best retro game, but is it actually the best game outside retro gaming spaces?

What are your favorite snowy areas in videogames? I love playing this around Christmas

Does retro gaming have a place if you didn't grow up with this stuff? I'm starting to question my motivations to being into /vr/ and it feels like I'm just doing this to be a contrarian more than anything, and not actually enjoying what I'm playing.

for most intents and purposes, it doesn't make much sense to play an older title if a newer one eclipses it in almost every way.
