Ngokwerekhodi, andinamdla kakhulu Shenmue. Khange ndiyithande iShenmue 3 ngaphandle kokuzama ukunyanzela indlela yam ukuba ndiyonwabele kwaye yonke into endiyikhumbulayo ngomdlalo wesibini kukujijisana ngengalo enye inkwenkwana kwindawo yokugcina impahla ecaleni kwe-wharf. Kwakukho izikhephe, kwakhona, ndiyacinga. I-arm-wrestling kunye nezikhephe. Ndandineminyaka emihlanu ubudala. Ndicinga ukuba uninzi lomdlalo uphoswe emntwini ocinga ukuba isithoba usidibanise neshumi ngama-21.
Yile nto eyenza iShenmue 2 ibe ngumdlalo ongaqhelekanga kum. Andisoze ndiyidlale kwakhona. Ngokupheleleyo kwaye ngokungagungqiyo andinamdla kuyo. Ndiyasiqonda isizathu sokuba abantu bathande olu ngcelele, kodwa andoyiki ukutsho ukuba ayingowam. Kukulinda nokuhamba nokulinda ngakumbi.

Ndibhala malunga nemidlalo yevidiyo ukuze ndiziphilise. Ngokucacileyo. Yile nto ndiyenzayo ngoku, ndihleli kwiPC yam nekofu edikidiki kunye nendlala ekhula kancinci eza kuqala ukundicaphukisa malunga neyure. Umntu uphela njani ebhala malunga nemidlalo yevidiyo ukuze aphile? Ewe, okokuqala nokuphambili, ngokudlala imidlalo emininzi yevidiyo. Ngaba ndidlale imidlalo emininzi yevidiyo ndisengumntwana? Ngandlel’ ithile, ewe. Ndidlalile pokemon kwaye Zelda engayeki kwaye anyebelele ngobuchule kakhulu-kakhulu-shootybangy-kumntwana oneminyaka emihlanu ubudala Halo kwigumbi elingemva nanini na umama notata bengandijonganga. Yayintle kakhulu loo nto: Nintendo kunye neembumbulu zesithuba.
Ukuvuma kwam ukudlala iHalo kusebenza njengobungqina obufihlakeleyo bokuba ndibe ne Xbox. Ndingahlawula imali entle ukuze ndifunde ukuba yeyiphi imidlalo endinayo kuyo - ndicinga ukuba bendingaphezulu kwesihlanu kodwa ngaphantsi kweshumi, kwaye ngaphezulu kweHalo: Combat Evolved kunye neShenmue 2 sineCrimson Skies kunye neAmped, eyathi, ngokujonga emva, yayizibhenki ezimbini eziqinisekisiweyo. Ndizamile ukungakhethi cala kwinto endiyidlalileyo, kwaye ke ndiye ndazama ukudlula eShenmue 2 izihlandlo ezininzi kodwa andizange ndifumane ngaphezulu kweyure ngaphambi kokuba ndiphose umsindo wesidenge esineminyaka emihlanu ubudala.

Ngaphandle kwayo, ngendikhe ndadlala iPokemon ndade ndaba neminyaka eli-12 kwaye ndaqhubeka nokubhabha phakathi kweqela lemidlalo. 50 abadubuli abafanayo ubomi bam bonke. I-Shenmue 2 yi-eyacaphukisayo-mhlawumbi umdlalo ondenze ndadlala imidlalo. Yintoni umbhanxa ngokupheleleyo.
