I was able to get up to the Technodrome in the first Turtles game. Never made it to fighting Shredder through. That game was rough.

I have no hard proof, but it's been reported that Shenmue cost $70 million, although that could be accounting for Shenmue II and III. How close that is to the actual value, though, I have no idea. But this was back in the day when the tech was just starting to grow and you have to admit that Shenmue looked damn good for its day. And barring Yu Suzuki just flat out lying: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmXVco0Bkyk

By comparison, GTAIV apparently cost $100 million.

Considering they've sold millions upon millions of copies, yes.

Because you will never make that much money in your life let alone in a single day? I dunno, I just used that expression there because it involved the words "read it". Stop making me think about things.

shenmue was absolutely epic for the time. every person you passed in the game had a life of their own. like you could literally pick a random character and follow them around and watch them shopping or playing in the arcade or whatever til they went home. you could talk to every person in the game and there was an incredible amount of detail, and the fight engine was pretty awesome too. it had a few flaws, practising moves on your own in an empty parking lot was boring as hell. at least in shenmue 2 you sparred with people which made it a little more entertaining. i would really be gutted if they didn't finish it off one day. i heard maybe they're going to make the whole series into one game rather than prolong it, but i can't remember for the life of me where i heard it now.

plus there was that fantastic 70 man fight at the end of the first one, and that awesome QTE/fight bit in the second where you had to go up floors of a building kicking the shit out of randoms, just like streets of rage.

god i loved that game.
