Shenmue 3 finally on KickStarter

[quote=Ninja Trigger]So it's finally happening and it's already funded! [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3]KickStart it here[/url] once my paycheck comes in I will either be funding it at the 100 or 120 dollar level. I hope I'm not the only Shenmue fan here[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Ninja Trigger]I hope I'm not the only Shenmue fan here[/quote] You are <3 The graphics look nice, but oh god the voice acting, oh god. It's probably some of the devs pitching in. They've basically got nothing to show so far, but at least there are some famous names behind it. Release will be on Windows and PS4. Looks like a reasonable project. Do ask for Linux support when you back it, if you don't mind. I don't put money down on games before they are released, but I'd buy it if it ends up good, and Linux support is getting more important as I get closer to jumping ship.[/quote]

[quote=Bioalchemist]not my style, but good news for you (as you already stated) it is already funded :)[/quote]

[quote=Searz][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGLe_fR4AJE&t=5m]WOW. WOW. Really? This was on E3. Sony literally used their customers and their money for a marketing campaign.[/url] This shit is disgusting. It leaves a real fucking bad taste in my mouth. I'm now seriously disappointed in the people involved in this project..[/quote]

I'm now seriously disappointed in the people involved in this project..[/quote] Eh I hate having my bubble popped :( Since it was a no brainier that the fans would kickstart it almost instantly, I'm still going to pre-order it next pay day and get my name in the credits, since I have been waiting for Shenmue 3 since I first beat it back in 2001. And the fans have been asking for a Kickstarter since the first day Kickstarter was a thing but my biggest fear with Shenmue 3, is that a majority of its sales are going to be the KickStarter Pre-Orders. Also the ShenmueDojo is exploding with people confused about its 2 million dollar goal, since it would be impossible to make a game like Shenmue 3 on that kind of budget, and they are starting to put together that Sony already had plans to back the game before, and without a KickStarter. The voice acting was also bad in the trailer, but that's also what gave the first two games their charm, it's like how an old Kung Fu flick wouldn't be complete without bad dubbing. Overall I have waited for this game to come out so long that it's almost impossible for me to get a bad taste in my mouth, but it's slowly growing, darn you [color=#00ff00]Searz!!![/color][/quote]
