Ryo is horribly expensive on the 360, and for some reason even MORE expensive on the PS3.
I'm glad I got it for pre-order.
If the other DLC is the same price I won't be picking up any of it.

What an odd decision.
I'd just keep it up on the store, while the game is relatively new and people are still interested.

I found it really boring. Like it took so long to get anywhere! thats just my opinion though. every other dreamcast game is amazing! my favourite oldish gen console.

Shenmue is one of the games I pull out when I want to show people an example of bad voice acting in video games. "What can you tell me about the day of the incident" said in an almost deadpan voice. There are stilted conversations with everyone in the world including a kitten in a box.
That's just the beginning of the problems in the game. Why did Sega sink so much money into this project when Yu Suzuki's previous RPG, Sword of Vermillion, was such an awful game?

I was hoping something less "Sonic-like" would be coming. There still could be, of course. I really like how the game already has a nice assortment of SEGA members. I want to see that route continue.

It still pisses me off that companies have DLC ready to go when the game is shipped. Another rip off for the consumer.
Just stop with all this DLC crap for games like this (and many more), just stick everything in the box to begin with. We spend out hard earned cash on these games to play them and enjoy them.
Not to go and then spend more hard earned cash on a new course and what not.
No amount of DLC is going to keep this kind of game (and many more) going. People get bored or move on to another game.
The only DLC I agree with is the COD stuff, why? Well, COD is one of those games that people play months, years after initial release, so a new lease of life for £5/$8 every 6 months with 3-4 maps for multiplayer is ok with me.

Pick a side.
I can't stand flip flops on DLC.
I hate DLC.
But only in games I don't like or play.
In games I like, I love it.
Please.

WHAT?!?! Ryo Hazuki was released as DLC?! This is why people hate DLC. I played an early version of Sonic and Sega All-Stars, and sure enough, Ryo was an unlockable character. I guess the content didn't fit on the disc anymore, huh?
Now, this is to be expected from some companies (I'm looking at you, Namco), but man, I feel duped as a consumer every time I hear about something like this.

Well, I'm pretty sure you can call withdrawing game content from an early version, handing it out to a select few and then charging the rest of the buyers extra money, 'holding stuff back'.
Maybe that's just me. Or perhaps that is just what pre-order 'bonuses' have become.

It was work-related, I can't really say because I'm burning SEGA here. They might read it and complain to my boss that I'm sharing information about early versions, which is 'confidential'. Bullshit of course, and if you don't want to believe me I understand. But I'm not so bored that I would type all this and lie about it. :)
(how the hell do you delete comments around here? I meant to reply the first time, but messed up)

I took a dump today....It was equally as exciting as this.

Why the hell did they make the first DLC ANOTHER Sonic character? There are already too many of them in the game in the first place.

Don't quite like the idea of Ryo + forklift. Everyone knows it's his all star move. I'd rather have new characters instead of ... "Billy Hatcher in his rolling egg" or "Super Sonic"

@JuanCarlos
Ryo Forklift is already in the actual game from start just needs a DLC confirmation preorder, or buying it, to activate it for outside of all star moves

A message to Sega from Deadpool:
Dear Sega,
After years of playing many of your Sonic games, it seems as though you overlooked a very important factor that makes Sonic cool in his recent games. In fact, a very obvious factor. Now I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I am the most handsome....but that's not the point. The point is....and let me make this clear and simple in a language we can easliy understand.....
SONIC IS FAST! That's what he does! He is Speed! What is the matter with you guys? Sonic doesn't need a fricken hoverboard or any kind of vehical! He runs faster than the speed of Sound And ever faster as Super Sonic! I mean COME ON!!! MaNNNN!!!
Love, Peace and chicken grease,
Deadpool
P.S.
Make Shenmue 3 already!!
P.P.S.
Amanda Bynes was awesome on the show "All That". Anyone remember that show? Anyone? :D
