I can see how some people can get bored with shenmue, me personally. I was addicted it, and i'm going to do what ever it takes to play shenmue 3.

Shenmue is a very involved game, and has a deep plot, the first game only scratches the surface on the plot. I can see how you get bored with the game, just going round asking people questions all the time. And here everyone ramble on saying the same thing, and not getting anything useful out of them. If i was you, give it some more time. Maybe your expecting to much from the game, and judge it to quickly. Play it until you start to get more into the action. The game starts to get even more interesting when you get to the habour (like someone else mentioned), when you get a job.

I must admit, i found it a little boring at first, but at the sametime i was amazed by the graphics (maybe not the very best now, but when it first came out it was incredable). But i started to get really into the plot, and then the action started. Both the QTE moments, and the times when you fight. If you can get into the game, then theres the sequel for you to get into. Which has even more action. But even after you've experienced some QTE moments and fighting moments. And you really can not get into the game what so ever. Then give up. I feel that most of the people that don't like shenmue, judge it to quickly, and don't give the game a chance. Once you get into the action and get involved in the plot. You become obsessed, and you find yourself buying the little toys and going to the arcade. And practicing in the park to get your moves stats up, and when you learn a new move a practice it. You can't wait to try it out. And you find yourself talking to Nazome (or however you spell her name) all the time, to see if there relationship (Ryo & Nozomes) will go anywhere.
But...thats if you really give the game a chance, don't get me wrong, it can be slow. But very very addictive, before you know it you'll through each disc and thirsty for the sequel.
