Other than maybe the fact that they use QTEs, I don't quite see what God of War's sex minigame or RapeLay have to do with Shenmue...
I was mostly referring to this post:

I felt like I was inside the game when I had to tap that circle button and watch how the bed rocked back and forth.
FMV QTE is the way of the future
And thought you were referring to the lowest point's in gaming to be FMV and QTE, thus why I put Shenmue up because QTE's were a big part of the game, and quite frankly pretty fun if you don't fuck the sequences up a lot. I especially liked the QTE arcade machines in the game. I was gonna put an FMV game up like I did for Shenmue, but I couldn't think of a really good one, just mediocre ones, and agreed that it was a low point for gaming.
Oh well. Misunderstanding is all. But yeah, GoW's sex minigame, RapeLay, and FMV's were low points of gaming. Sorta back on topic, but does anyone know if the Hot Coffee mod for one of the GTA games used QTE?

I thought it was
How could you say that? Shenmue is excellent! I mean like AppleQueso said, if you aren't very patient and can't stand slow moving/and or not extremely exciting games, then Shenmue will most likely bore you at first. But like many RPG's, it picks up and gets fun and great. The only crimes Shenmue committed was the voice acting and repetition, which all can be summed up in three lines:
"Have you seen any sailors?" (asked multiple times on the first disc)
"No, I can't say I have Ryo" (differing variations, but the same message for the most part, your lucky if they ask why do you ask or to not get involved with sailors)
"I see" (Ryo's response. To. EVERYTHING.)
Well those two, and probably more minor problems, but those two are the only ones that are detrimental to the experience IMO. Well that and the cliffhanger.
