Atleast in some ways yes, but in my eyes no. I honestly have no feeling of wanting either of these. Hope they do soe more interesting more affordable tiers. The boat photo thing was nice

I feel like they should change it to a "design your own lucky hit board" and lower the price by a grand or two. 99% of Shenmue fans don't want to see people's faces on Lucky Hit boards in Shenmue III, even their own faces. But there's tons of talented artists that are Shenmue fans that would probably love to have their work in Shenmue III. If they were able to design the layout and prizes (within reason) of their board too, that'd be pretty awesome and well worth the money.

Maybe even have a mini replica of their own Lucky Hit board as a physical reward alongside that, too. Shit, I'd consider shelling out 4 grand for something like that.

I honestly think the photo award is a bit tacky. They could have added other more interesting tiers at that pricing, like the replica mirrors. Besides, I think fans would much rather have the similar style of art that we saw in Shenmue 2:

No offence, but I can't believe some of you guys really care what's on the Lucky Hit stands. If it would have brought in money to the campaign, I would have supported it. I'm sure it would have been done tastefully and not look like this... (see below)

Since it isn't working though, the point is redundant. They should lower the price or change it to a different reward.

someone already made the suggestion that the stands with the backers faces could be in a hidden location, and would work out to be an easter egg (like the dural room, or hang-on room). this way it will have less of negative 'intrusive' impact on the game.

i have to admit initially i was not to enthusiastic about the idea, but for the good of funding the campaign i decided not to express my reservations. if it was done in the way i suggested above i wouldn't have any problem with it. the idea of them being on every other board though and in the main areas of the game does worry me.

maybe others backers are having similar reservations, along with the value concerns and thats why they are not shifting.

i also suggested that the game artists could dress them up in chinese clothing or something.

I'm pretty sure that's what would have happened and I'm sure they would have been done tastefully, with some artistic integrity, rather than just slapping a .jpg image on the boards.

I would definitely also pay for this if there was an option to back this after the KS ends. I cant afford anymore right now.

Its a good valued tier to immortalise yourself in a game. If it still doesnt sell, maybe drop it by $1000, but thats it.

There's already a backer for this tier, so I guess no further changes will be needed.

Nowhere did I claim that this would be the case. Give us some credit. I just don't think it would be better than the ones Shenmue 2 already has. I'd rather not see artwork of a Western guy on those boards, they just don't come across as very fitting. I like the idea of them being easter eggs though.

Now there's two!

I plan to pledge on this one as well (and try to get them to accept my art instead of my face) but I'm still trying to get the money together.

I really don't want to see people's faces on these things. Seems so out of place.

I don't want to seem ungrateful to someone donating four grand to a game I've been waiting half my life for, but there is an element of "look at me I had four grand and you didn't, look at me again and again while you lose this game of lucky hit."

Yeah this is the worst reward imo. I also hope for the registry that people will have to give their real names, I would hate to see names like PIZZARAVAGER158 next to normal names.
