Shenmue Dojo

This is not necessarily related to Shenmue 3 itself, but more the campaign and everything surrounding it.

Understandably, many people are excited and passionate for the game, and of course, many people have their worries or their criticisms about the marketing in regards to the Kickstarter campaign, and Sony's involvement, among other things. I just want to remind everyone to keep a clear, rational head about all of this. Remember that we all want the same thing; for Shenmue 3 to be good as it possibly can be given the odds. Bickering over trivialities and trying to be the right one in an argument can be counterproductive to the campaign itself if we're not concentrated on pushing this current Kickstarter campaign as strongly as we can. I am not saying we are not allowed to have disagreements, but don't let them get to the extent of becoming distractions from the goal. We have plenty of time to get this ball rolling, so lets not panic; keep it cool.

In the end, we're all on the same side. This goes for the forum, Twitter, Youtube, Kickstarter comments, and any other context in which we have to interact with one another. Let's try to make some history here.

Thanks. It's hard to remember because emotions are so high. I think eventually we will put our differences aside in love for Shenmue. It's just right now things are so passionate and emotional it's hard for people - including me - to see two feet in front of them.

Well spoken. It's easy to get into confrontations right now as we all have different visions of what Shenmue III should have and what not. But we all need to pull on one string to just get the game made as close to what Yu Suzuki want's it to be.

Shenmue 3 is at the very least, 2.5 years in the future. I expect it to be better than I feared, but worse than I hoped.

Bravo... Well said

Co-producer of Shenmue 3, Cedric Biscay, put it pretty wisely:

Positive things come from positive people. We cannot convince "haters", however together we can make a positive wave.

Our infighting might make history. If it's really vicious.

Yeah we're all on the same side here.

I'm bumping this, as I feel it's somewhat necessary for some of the things I've been seeing here lately.
