So all my talk about teamwork has simply washed right over you, has it? I've never tried to take personal credit for a damn thing, so fuck you pal. If that's how your own mind works then that's your problem - don't try and project it onto me when I have gone out of my way for the last two years to be inclusive and NOT be that guy.

If it's actually the majority view that my efforts are somehow disruptive to the Dojo's raison d'etre, then I won't take much convincing at this point to stop bothering with this place, so now's your chance, boys.

Dave has a point, but the lesser of two evils here is to vote. Shenmue fans already have a bad rep, so we might as well go the distance here and make it count for something. So just stop whining and get to it already.

I don't think Shenmue winning polls will make people hate Shenmue fans simply because I don't think many gamers care about the polls. Why? Cause they just about never lead to anything except a little teasing from some executive now and then that once again leads to nothing.

I'll vote, however I still feel it's unlikely to come out on an Xbox console (no hate on the brand, just with those tweets and Xbox's state in Japan), but hey, may as well try! You never know!

Also, there seems to be a lot of hostility on the thread. I personally agree with Let's Get Sweaty, but there's still not really a need to start a flame war about the matter. If you don't want to vote, then don't. I hardly think it sours the community, just shows how strong and passionate for the game it can be, even this many years later. And regarding the comments on the comic book drawing analogy, I don't think just because a community teams up to vote for a game doesn't mean that the want is any lesser than that of another game, it's just more organised and central.

I'm just legitimately trying to be civil here, so please don't get pissy at me because you don't agree with my opinion.

I voted (also voted for Crackdown 3 & Mass Effect 4, even though I think those are coming, anyway, but I love those series). But I do agree that voting for every single poll isn't going to bring about the amazing results, but it doesn't really hurt either way. In Mitts defence, I think voting for Shenmue in completely unrelated events, such as the "best classical music", is a bit pointless, since not only is the competition much tougher there, what with it not being in a specific niche/group; it's too broad for a particular piece of music from Shenmue to win it. We're better off sticking to the polls/votes that are tied directly to Shenmue's niche/group which is, of course, video games.

I can't help but feel WRC's comments, cynical as they are, are sort of ringing true; executives pretend that we may have a chance with reviving this series and then just go on a complete radio silence regarding it, hoping it will all be forgotten. Even Suzuki is guilty of this himself...

But at least it's easy to vote, so I did it, takes no time at all to do. The best thing for us would be for Phil Spencer to reconsider his stance. It's not likely, but it's worth a shot if the guy is green lighting cult favourites like Killer Instinct, Phantom Dust, Crackdown, SWERY adventure games and Panzer Dragoon sequels. In fact, to be honest; they're doing a far better job of that than, say, Sony are.

I voted. Couldn't pass up the chance to vote on my favorite game. I agree with Who Really Cares that gaming communities are not going to get that pissed off at Shenmue fans because we are trying to get our sequel made. Maybe a few individuals, but really, who cares? They'll get over it. If anything it shows our dedication to the game being made and if other fan bases had greater dedication, they'd be ahead in the polls.

The hostility in this thread is a bit ridiculous. Regardless of whether the game ever gets made or not, I still enjoy the fan collaboration and having a voice. My dreams won't be shattered if the game isn't made, but life would be slightly more awesome if it was.

Nah man, you have it totally wrong, that is the most purposeful poll to actually vote in. As that really would count for something and be unquestionably significant. The best thing that could possibly happen for our cause is to have Shenmue considered culturally significant in one or many ways, and winning that poll is exactly the way to go about achieving that. This is something that would get noticed. You can say that the "competition is too stiff, so why bother?" but that's just loser talk right there. We know other games series like Elder Scrolls have won the poll in previous years and achieved a place in the Classic FM Hall of Fame thanks to fan efforts, so why the fuck not Shenmue? Shenmue has always been equally lauded for it's music as much as it's gameplay. And even if we don't win, so what, it's still more than worth our best shot. Some people here are so apathetic and dead eyed it's a joke.

So to not try for this one would be a damn shame.

It is pretty fortunate that the biggest part of the fanbase/community of Shenmue has moved beyond this place and/or reside in other more enthusiastic, energetic, positive and dedicated places.

Pretty fortunate that social media web services (Facebook, Twitter, et cetera) emerged, established and widely used, and through them, the fanbase can talk about Shenmue with as much greater exposure as it can get.

If the vast majority of the community would have stayed here (or that was the only place it could have stayed), then the possibilities of finally seeing Shenmue HD/3 come out in the light, would have been tremendously low than it is now.

Personally I just reckon that anything said about Shenmue that isn't overly-enthusiastic is deemed as negative by the "dedicated" crowd. Actually reminds me of the cult-like environment I once found myself in at a door-to-door sales job.

A tweet from the "X-ONE Magazine":
The Shenmue community mobilised fast. Good work. Massive lead over Fallout, Elder Scrolls, HL3 and the rest http://poll.fm/4mzf8
