Seriously apart being an idiot what s the point of doing this?


Sabotage the campaign and laugh about it the end. They specially do that when a campaign is close to reach a stretch goal or even when a project is about to be officially funded. Look out for them in the closing period of the campaign.

We're back over $3.2 Mil thanks to a lot of backers who upped their pledges, I added myself just now.

If these troll backers think they are being funny they have another thing coming...

Trolling is of course an unfortunate fad. As long as their are no repercussions I have a feeling we haven't seen the end of it, as someone stated, it's likely only going to get worse as the campaign pushes on.

For the Reddit AMA we have to ask how far Shenmue 3 will advance the story and if another game or two will be necessary to complete the story.

And ask if the PS4 will only be digital release or if it will also be available in physical form.

Just a question for the dojo: As far as AAA games, what caliber should we expect for Shenmue 3?

I do wonder how many of these individuals that are now threatening to remove their pledge because the lack of a PS4 Physical Reward, and of course the ones that refuse to pledge more until there is a PS4 Physical reward, were also just a week ago saying that "I would do anything for Shenmue 3 to be a reality, I would buy any system, jump through any hoop." and so on. . . lol

Hello ShenmueDojo, I have been coming here for years and finally decided to sign up. I am so excited Shenmue III is finally happening. I just happened to think to watch the Sony conference live on the Twitch stream on my Amazon Kindle and boy am I glad I did.

I am still in shock. =D> \:D/

I have been reading through this thread and my suggestion about the worrying about getting to the goals is: what if, we the fans, try to get the word out that all who pledged should bump up their backing to the next tier or either donate some extra money. If all those who backed already, bumped up their backing just a little we could get, at least, another $1.5 Mil (if not more). :D

Personally I backed at the $175 level, I would have done the $500 level if I could have afforded it. ](*,)

That bad? I'm not a fan of the games but I heard the latest just wasn't up to snuff.

Well, it's because Sony, a company that's doing pretty well, vows to back the project if the Kickstarter reaches $2 million. It met that mere hours after it launched, shattering crowd funding records. So we feel accomplished that we helped fund the game. Then we find out there's much more they need to fully flesh out the game. But didn't Sony, and other unnamed partners(Valve/Steam? Just a theory), already promise to fund it?

no, Sony didn't promise anything. They said they are helping, the details of which are unknown, but more than likely depend on how well the kicker starter does, the smaller the overall pledge total, the less support from investors, whether that's Sony or someone else.

Its typical nerdy mouth breathing internet dwelling keyboard warriors putting 'assumptions' and 'drama' out there as 'fact' and then all the sub human socially recluse idiots jump on the bandwagon...

From the very beginning the kick starter has said, Digital PS4, Physical and/or digital PC.. its right there in writing before people even pledged... honestly its not rocket science, why are people so dumb and think that will change after pledging, they need to grow up.

Hello Shenmue Friends. This might be important

I'm a little worried about the low quality art shown at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to offend anyone, but I though that it might scare some possible backers who could think that Shenmue is only an amateur project. So, I decided to make some banners in order to attract more and more backers. I want to keep this easy for the eye, with concise information, but If you have a good idea to improve the banners, please let me know.

Feel free to share.
