Is there a bad ending in Shenmue II?
In Shenmue, there’s a bad ending if you don’t finish the game before a certain date.
The booklet of Shenmue II (from the Dreamcast PAL version, page 26) says:
Overall Time Limit
Time will pass, even when you are not doing anything.
The game starts on a cold winter’s day.There is no need to rush your way through the game, take your time and admire the scenery if you wish, however, you are expected to reach your goal before the summer comes around.
