+ch3burashka That's exactly what goes through my mind when I wake up early in the summer. That Endurance Run was one of the best things in the history of the internet.
Things are very different nowadays, everyone on YT does "let's plays" of new released games, so them doing one for P5 wouldn't be anything too ridicolous. But I sure as hell wouldn't watch it if that happened, wanna play the game myself :)
+JesterOfSatan Their (Jeff's) refusal was more because they didn't feel right putting a whole game on the site when it's for sale. Not a nice thing to do to Atlas/Publishet.
Calico Yeah, I remember the whole argument Jeff made against putting a whole let's play of a new game. But as I said, things are different now and even Jeff said what I said in my previous comment, everyone does it, they could do it too if they wanted.
WHAAA? It's back?! I hope this doesn't end in heartbreak. With the holiday season coming up I fear they're not going to be able to do this every day. Keeping hope alive.
Don't worry, it's all been prerecorded and finished. Dan is already on his way back to San Francisco and officially moving to GBeast sometime during the winter.
You can interact with things such as the TV by using the zoom trigger -- you're missing a whole bunch of stuff in the house, including a cassette tape, move scroll and the SEGA Saturn!
Thats was why it was so enjoyable also because there was kinda nothing like it w lots of charm well yeah while i dont like it as much as some people well i can certainly understand why they are on a different level of appreciation of this game and respect it. One of a kind exp at that time.
Dear Vinny, two and a half years ago I found a kitten with its insides coming out of its butt! He was two weeks old and I rushed him to the vet, where they stitched the insides back in place, and now he is extremely fat and grumpy. Thought you ought to know.
The comments the guys are making are hilarious. Shenmue is so deeply weird, for me it's beyond criticism. It exists in its own universe, it's like a dream. Applying conventional logic and game analysis doesn't feel relevant. You either get it or don't.
Dan, how the fuck - THE FUCK - can you "love this, but hate Yakuza"?! Yakuza is so insanely underrated, please elaborate if you ever get the chance, as this reeks of the whole "I hate anime... but I've never actually watched any of it"
They are pretty different games; Shenmue's main emphasis is on the world itself whereas Yakuza's is on the story (though Shenmue is story driven). I love both series anyway, though I personally prefer Shenmue
Matt Ponikvar If you think that's the case, then by that reasoning Dan should love Yakuza because MGS is all cut-scenes too ;) But Yakuza's not like that. As well as the story you can go off and do whatever you want and as there's random fights and a coliseum for fighting you can fight whenever you want unlike Shenmue and no waiting around for things. They took the feedback for all the annoying things in Shenmue and took them out, then refined further. I think Dan should play Yakuza 4 which has a catch-up video in it.
Shenmue is legit my favorite game ever, but I certainly understand it isn't for everybody. It has a leisurely pace and expects to just kind of walk around and enjoy the world between story beats. That said, i think it will make for a great endurance run since there is a boatload of content. Like I hope there is an episode of Dan just playing super hang on or something. EDIT: Also I know it's too late but you should have used the VGA adapter and a VGA -> HDMI upscaler to capture the footage :)
fuck ouuta here the DC version of Shenmue 2 is GOD! Literally the best game I've ever played. The English voice acting on the xbox version is horrible and the game carries on your save file from Shenmue 1 so how can you beat that?
I'd never played Shenmue as a kid but decided to give the games a go after the big Sony conference announcement about the Shenmue 3 kickstarter. Maybe a heavy dose of nostalgia is needed to properly appreciate it it in 2016, because I thought the game (Shenmue 1, at least) was awful in every single regard. The controls were bad, the voice acting was bad, the gameplay was bad. Maybe I would've liked it as a kid, but as an adult this game was just ridiculous.
+Sa Ng The dub is terrible in 1, yes. Too bad it didn't have dual audio or the original acting. 2 is amazing and has the original acting on Dreamcast and that acting is really damn good.
+Sa Ng The games were mindblowing for the time. Remember, this game was released in 1999, only a year after Ocarina of Time. It's basically the first cinematic, real world open worldy game, especially when you combine 2 to 1 as you should.
You probably forgot about the awful dayjob forklift crate section that goes on for way too long. Not that i can blame you, most people probably want to forget that part. Or never even got to it.
The problem is that there are too many people who never heard of different tastes. I love both games (including the forklift part) but I understand if there are people who don't like it. It's a life simulator. Of course it's slow and a lot of people are actually enjoying that.The graphics are still good, the Japanese dub is good, the story is great, the soundtrack is great and the gameplay (for me) is awesome. The controls in Resident Evil are way worse and guess what most people don't give a fuck including me because I love those games as well. I know a lot of people who played Shenmue for the first time in the last couple of years and they really liked it, too. Maybe it's not the game but your taste if you don't like it. I hate Mass Effect or Dark Souls for example.
I don't know how many times I've watched this endurance run, but damn, it makes me so happy!
Sometimes the recommended tab on TH-cam does some magic. Time to watch the entire endurance run again!
"Is a cherry blossom a type of flower?" - Dan Ryckert, an adult man, in 2016.
Lol is anyone here from the Shenmue 3 quicklook? Time to marathon this gold again.
Yep! And also I just want Vinny.
nothing will ever beat the person 4 endurance run. but each endurance run is still awesome in its own way. so really excited for this!!
My favorite giantbomb endurance run.
one of my favorite games of all time
Can't wait for Vinny to cast Bufu again.
WHY DO I STILL REMEMBER THIS REFERENCE?!?
Also, hi Yuri! C:
I just remember that being the one time Jeff sounded genuinely pissed. Hi, also :3
He should've cast Fireball instead.
HEARTBEAT HEARTBREAK YOU TELL ME GO- oh wrong game.
Summer mornings have had a distinct "Heartbreak" feel to them ever since. That or "Your Affection".
+ch3burashka That's exactly what goes through my mind when I wake up early in the summer. That Endurance Run was one of the best things in the history of the internet.
For a year 2000 game, it still looks Amazing
Love Shenmue, especially 2. That said, took a long time to get into the groove with the first one, but when I did I really loved it.
The "DOOOOOONE" when they got Sonic out of the machine made my goddamn day. Thanks, Vinny
Of course my immediate reaction to this is "I should go play Persona 4 for the eighth time". Obviously.
I love the dynamic these three have, looking forward to the content they will put out on east.
Fuck yeah! Was hoping Dan would be on this playthrough!
GASP!!! An endurance run!!! I'm so happy!
YESSSSSSSS! This is going to be fucking terrific.
This is my first endurance run. I'm very excited to be here for the start.Wow this game looks like a parody.
Do yourself a favor and watch some of the older ones!
You have to press L to focus on things! You can interact with like everything in the game!!
"You're stuck inside the kids" Dan Ryckert 2016
It's time...to endure.
With today's technology we should be able to get a Jeff/Vinny Endurance Run of Persona 5.
I've been praying. I've been Tweetin' but somehow I feel they'd let me down. P4EnduranceRun is my life dawg.
They said they wouldn't ER a new game.
Things are very different nowadays, everyone on YT does "let's plays" of new released games, so them doing one for P5 wouldn't be anything too ridicolous. But I sure as hell wouldn't watch it if that happened, wanna play the game myself :)

The Yakuza series really owes alot to Shenmue.
I learned too much about Sonic lore today.
someone should tell them they're missing the first person view button so that they can inspect drawers and every single item in the world.
They have apparently recorded the whole playthrough already so advice will be no good to them now.
they must have to figured it out sooner or later, you need that mechanic to progress at some point (finding stuff in the Hazuki residence)
Making the pilgrimage once again
Well met, old friend
WHAAA? It's back?! I hope this doesn't end in heartbreak. With the holiday season coming up I fear they're not going to be able to do this every day. Keeping hope alive.
Don't worry, it's all been prerecorded and finished. Dan is already on his way back to San Francisco and officially moving to GBeast sometime during the winter.
Seeing rural Japanese town/city brings memories of Persona 4.
I haven't had interest in Shenmue before, but that helps.
Truly the greatest game ever made...
Damn, a new endurance run ! And for Shenmue !
This is going to be great.
35:10 Hellmo
Well, this has made my otherwise very average week. Fantastic.
Hey a new Giant Bomb video! Better take this opportunity to passive aggressively comment on how much I dislike certain people!
I hate that Scott fellow.
+ch3burashka Right? He's a dick.
FUCK BRETT
What do you mean passively? Seems like people generally make their dislike of people known
XD
D'awww! I was hoping it'd be with Jeff. That would've been absolutely glorious.
Dan trying to assert that Shenmue isn't a soap opera is almost as ridiculous as him trying to assert that Metal Gear Solid isn't anime as fuck.
It's like fucking Twin Peaks, but Twin Peaks was meant to be over-the-top.
You can interact with eveyrthing in the house! Go into 1st person mode!
Enjoy your run on the best game ever made.
You can interact with things such as the TV by using the zoom trigger -- you're missing a whole bunch of stuff in the house, including a cassette tape, move scroll and the SEGA Saturn!
It's really amazing how they still haven't explored most of the house after all this time.
Okay to reset the console you press all the letter buttons together with the start button and that resets the Dreamcast.
It's Back! Hope Dan is there for every episode
For anyone who wants to skip options and settings, Game starts at 5:15
Guys, you gotta turn the brightness up. It's way too low.
Great! Now endurance run Okami!
This game looks goofy as fuck, but in a really enjoyable way.
Thats was why it was so enjoyable also because there was kinda nothing like it w lots of charm well yeah while i dont like it as much as some people well i can certainly understand why they are on a different level of appreciation of this game and respect it. One of a kind exp at that time.
Now both Shenmue 1+2 have been remastered for current gen consoles.
A legend has just begun.
Endurance run is back baby!
OH MY GOD
I am so excited about this!!
Wow this game is IMPRESSIVE!!!!!
I like Alex.
I'm glad they made this
How does someone love Shemune and hate Yakuza? Just......
He probably only played Yakuza 1 with the bad english dub, and never touched the series ever since.
I've never played this.. :( hopefully sega wakes up and releases it again on current gen consoles in physical form
Dear Vinny, two and a half years ago I found a kitten with its insides coming out of its butt! He was two weeks old and I rushed him to the vet, where they stitched the insides back in place, and now he is extremely fat and grumpy. Thought you ought to know.

Truly Yu Suzuki is the David Lynch of video games
The spirit of Brono lives on
HOLY SHIT IT'S FINALLY HERE
"they weren't exactly wearing name tags dude" :D that was great
“...4 years before the next sequel comes out?”
Ooh. So close!
I came for Shenmue. I stayed for the Sonic lore.
omg I love you guys and this game
How do payphones date this game? Its set in 1986.
I love this game despite how terrible it is!
FUCK YES
not sure if i should watch this or wait for the remake...............
Same here.
Remake? There is none yet planned. But Sega is making a Shenmue 3.
I think he means a remaster, which I heard Sega might do. www.engadget.com/2016/05/13/sega-investigating-shenmue-hd-remaster/
ToySoulJa yes there is www.gamespot.com/articles/shenmue-and-shenmue-2-remakes-face-challenges-but-/1100-6443260/
StealthMaster86 no www.gamespot.com/articles/shenmue-and-shenmue-2-remakes-face-challenges-but-/1100-6443260/
AHHHHH SHIT SON! IT'S BACK AND ITS BRINGING THE FORKLIFT FOR A JOY RIDE
IT'S HERE.
Dan, how the fuck - THE FUCK - can you "love this, but hate Yakuza"?!
Yakuza is so insanely underrated, please elaborate if you ever get the chance, as this reeks of the whole "I hate anime... but I've never actually watched any of it"
Exactly my thoughts! the only reason I don't miss Shenmue that much is that Yakuza is basically the continuation in all but story.
They are pretty different games; Shenmue's main emphasis is on the world itself whereas Yakuza's is on the story (though Shenmue is story driven). I love both series anyway, though I personally prefer Shenmue
Yakuza is basically all cutscenes.
Matt Ponikvar If you think that's the case, then by that reasoning Dan should love Yakuza because MGS is all cut-scenes too ;) But Yakuza's not like that. As well as the story you can go off and do whatever you want and as there's random fights and a coliseum for fighting you can fight whenever you want unlike Shenmue and no waiting around for things. They took the feedback for all the annoying things in Shenmue and took them out, then refined further. I think Dan should play Yakuza 4 which has a catch-up video in it.
You obviously never played shenmue 2 :P
That day?
Thank the Matrix, it's another endurance run.
Will we get a set of 3 Shenmue titles for PS4/Xbox1/NX ?
Dan hates Yakuza? I knew he was uncultured swine but damn.
Oh my god this is happening, maybe this means they might end up doing a Persona 5 endurance run?
May I recommend the Fruda Grape..? Shout out to Run Button!
I think I might cry. All hail the endurance run! Now should I play P4 or ChronoTrigger to remember the feels?
It's very dark. Anyone know if this is an old console/ output to modern equipment problem?
Shenmue is legit my favorite game ever, but I certainly understand it isn't for everybody. It has a leisurely pace and expects to just kind of walk around and enjoy the world between story beats. That said, i think it will make for a great endurance run since there is a boatload of content. Like I hope there is an episode of Dan just playing super hang on or something.
EDIT: Also I know it's too late but you should have used the VGA adapter and a VGA -> HDMI upscaler to capture the footage :)
People wouldn't joke about shenmue as much if it was sub not dub.
nah. if it was subbed it would be worse. like weeabo shit. like the shitty dc ver of s2. thank god for the xbox ver.
fuck ouuta here the DC version of Shenmue 2 is GOD! Literally the best game I've ever played. The English voice acting on the xbox version is horrible and the game carries on your save file from Shenmue 1 so how can you beat that?
Lmao fuk outta here weeb. BlockedDoubleO88
Sex-E Coco Does playing the Metro games with Russian voice acting make me a Russian equivalent of a weaboo? It's called immersion, fucktard.
it begins
Guy murdered dad. #RareFightStyle
People want another one of these game?
HD remaster coming in 2018
Gotta suplex that Nozomi!
HO-LEE SHIT THE ENDURANCE RUN IS BACK
Something is wrong with the people saying this was bad. I adored this game and was crushed when I had the cliffhanger and couldn't play 2.
I'd never played Shenmue as a kid but decided to give the games a go after the big Sony conference announcement about the Shenmue 3 kickstarter.
Maybe a heavy dose of nostalgia is needed to properly appreciate it it in 2016, because I thought the game (Shenmue 1, at least) was awful in every single regard.

Truly?!
Are you fucking kidding? AMAZING. AMAAAAAAAZING.
Endurance Runs WOOO
Alright so they have to do an endurance run for P5 right?
51:20 Sonic's been dabbing since '99.
Sadly these guys no longer work for the Giant Bomb offices.
Dan is still there. We pretty much have Dan and Rorie left on old GB.
@@luxerhusku2609 Aaaaaand now it's just Dan.
first one is free? rest are premium?
So this is all recorded already? I have no idea how long these games are.
How in the FUCK do you hate Yakuza but like Shenmue Dan
How is that an opinion that makes sense
it's dan
I really enjoy Sonic's flying Dab variant. Cla$$y
fucking hell yeah holy shit let's fucking GO YES OMG YES I LOVE GIANT BOMB
it's happening!!!
I can't believe this.
