How far can we go today, I wonder? ;D

I am so happy to hear this This is really a crucial achievement for Shenmue and it will help to pave the way for future Shenmue installments as well. Btw, just a sidetrack, does the $60 pledge reward comes with the $5 reward?

I'm 99% sure it does.

Oops, I missed out certain text, actually i meant to ask does the $60 pledge reward for the physical PS4 copy comes with the $5 reward? Cos it doesn't state so under the Rewards section. But i hope you are right )

I really didn't think we'd get to 6 i thought 5 was about as ambitiuos as we could get.The goals at 65 and 7 don't seem interesting to me

This is a nice ending for that documentary they're making.

Unless of course the game turns out to be good.

A fine end. Though I still hope they go for more funding through other means like Star Citizen, if only to get to a 10 million budget mark after all fulfillment goodies are paid for.
