Shenmue Neogaf Community Thread Is HERE!!

Postby ShenSun » Wed Mar 05, 2014 10:24 am

Hey Dojo.

We finally have a Shenmue Community thread over at Neogaf. This is all thanks to our good friend IrishNinja. I think we can all agree that this is well overdue.

What this means is that we now have an extra outlet to expand the Shenmue fanbase, #saveshenmue campaign, projects, videos, etc.

Thousands and thousands of people will see Shenmue daily. This thread will revolve around everything Shenmue, so if you have an account, feel free to subscribe. I will be actively including everyone's work into the thread, so that you all get the recognition that you deserve. Check out the thread below.

In addition, there is also another active Shenmue thread which strictly focuses on the Shenmue Campaign.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=762839

If you want to include anything in the opening page, post it here and I will pass it on to Irishninja.

Hopefully, with GDC, E3, and TGS, Shenmue will turn into the monster that it once was.

Enjoy.

:)

This is awesome! About time a Shenmue thread got established there. This will be very helpful in reaching to even more people then we already do.

Thanks. It's about time Shenmue gets more recognition, especially since its a hot topic at the moment in the gaming world.

If you're curious to how this thread came about, check out the neogaf campaign link and the following dojo link.

Nice work. As I wrote in another thread, I've been visiting NeoGAF for many years as a reader and noticed the Shenmue Defense Force quickly. It was great to see that there was more support beyond this forum and an "official thread" now is a bonus.

And I must say that the FAQ has very relevant questions and answers. They're exactly the ones that keep on popping up in discussions all over the internet. And the ones fans are tired of seeing.

The good thing about having this thread on neogaf, is that there will be a continuous Shenmue discussion 24/7. That place is really active.

Yeah, the fact that it is so active is why I sometimes specifically search for information there. Certain threads go into more detail or provide more insider news than regular news sites. In any case, I'll keep an eye on that thread, just as a few others that I have bookmarked.

Def a long process. You have to sign up and then wait for your account to be approved manually. It took me about 2 months. I have heard others being approved within a week though, so I'd say sign up.

That's mostly why I never bothered to register there actually. Especially when I can't post as frequently these days.

Id probably say make an account anyway, and just forget about it for the next month or so. You may get lucky, and get approved sooner than you think.

Im pretty sure Giorgio got an account within 2 weeks. I'd encourage all Dojo members to give it a try.

Just got the banner updated.

Nice neogaf threads, sadly I can't subscribe to them due to some atrocious register policies on neogaf.
Anyway any thread in any forum about Shenmue is wellcome. :D

My reaction about a ShenmueIII reveal at GDC 2014.

We'll see. I'm just quite busy these days and can't post as often in general. So it would feel kind of pointless to create an account if it's hardly ever used. In any case I'm lurking over there and checking some threads including the Shenmue ones ;)

Yeah, I signed up there almost two months ago and they still haven't "approved" my account. I don't know why they're so strict about letting people in, but whatever. I heard it's pretty easy to get banned there too. Also, the place seems full of weeaboos after reading through a few threads. :lol:

I've updated ShenShun's original NeoGAF banner and added a few additions, which include image enhancements by Riken Productions. (Ricardo Valverde)
