There was something very special about it, I agree that no game has made me feel that way since.

Half Life 2 did but in a different way.

Maybe when a game just leapfrogs what's been thought of as cutting edge and you're so amazed that you forget that you're playing a game.

I'm not sure if my fascination for Japan started with Shenmue but it certainly grew from there. I was so happy to visit for the first time last year.

Just saw this reply, but I agree with this statement 100%! Next time I'd like to take a trip out to Yokosuka and check out the real-life areas.

So much of the game was still there IRL though, from the gacha machines to the neighborhood hole-in-the-wall arcades
