Just tell her that Nozomi is your first love and she needs you.

Yeah, but sometimes they can do outside work. I'd kill to have him on board though.
Agreed.

Made this quick revised reward chat that also includes which tiers have exclusive reward scrolls. Let me know if you spot any errors.

That's very kind of you. Thanks. Any chance that it could be larger?

Wow man. That's a lot of work. Congrats!
they get married and ryo drives a forklift and watches hockey forever and everYou know where Shenmue 3 needs to end? In Vancouver. Ryo re-unites with Nozomi in my hometown
Erevador.. we are already sailors.

they can't confirm steam support because ys.net do not have publisher status on steam.
That sounds wonderful. I live like 10-15 blocks away from the docks. I can go join him and we can ask about sailors.
Nice work! It's really well done and certainly helps to explain the confusing amount of rewards for this KS. Send yours to Awesome Japan and Cedric Biscay, so that they use it in place of their out of date mess... http://i.imgur.com/1CYKX7u.jpg

Not actually that important
It's nice of you to assume how much I care just because I want to pledge through Paypal.
If plenty of people clamor for a PP option in Kickstarters and we always witness a big surge in donations when such option is introduced, evidently there's demand and a reason for it. The bigger percentage is exactly the reason a PP option usually gets introduced later instead of from day1. But no, it definitely must be because we simply don't give a shit.
It's part of a wedding gift for a friend, so me and a bunch of friends (living in different parts of the world) have set-up a Paypal account with the funds we've pitched in all together and that we'll use (hopefully) for both the SM3 pledge and $5k or so for a trip around SM's locations.
Not an issue per se. Just for this particular pledge I can't do it on my own cc account.
It's between $3000$ and $4000, not peanuts and I'd lose a lot of money in PP taxes, bank fees and >$... I'm not fronting that kind of money myself.
Besides, I don't think it's unreasonable to want to pledge via PP and certainly not to the point
I should have to explain myself or feel sorry if a bigger cut of the money gets taken that way: it's either that or no money at all. If that ain't possible and it's better to lose pledges altogether then get a smaller cut out of the donations then so be it, I already have my copy of the game reserved but it'd be kinda sad when we could've contributed so much more.
Looks great! The only error I see is there's a GBP symbol at $29.
that's fair enough.
though, could any other mainland europeans chip in and help this guy? i'm in england but i don't have to pay any bank fees, taxes, whatnot, (etc) on my pledge. not sure where it's any different for you guys.
edit: nevermind. misread, if it's coming from paypal, yeah there will be charges to put the money into a bank account to pledge that way

Pledged $60 for PC physical copy. Huge Shenmue fan. Hype died down a bit knowing the game won't be fully realized.
the game hasn't even started development. it's a bit premature to say the game won't be fully realised.

lan di may be the villain of the shenmue series, but let's not forget the villain of shenmue fans.

neogaf's very own...duckroll.
Most of that money has been pissed down the toilet, because no one is going to release a game today with assets from 2001, and everyone else who worked on the first two games will likely not touch the series again so any experience, research, and work they put into the games when they worked on them is useless now.
I love how Shenmue fans have no sense of reality. Makes it all the more fun to hit them while they're down.
Oh trust me, it makes it much better when I just keep punching Shenmue fans in the face.
I would love to hear it. Please tell us more!

I think he's referring to the stretch goals that won't be reached.
But 5M$ can realistically be reached.
video games scale though. just because they aren't hit doesn't mean the game will be incomplete or not fully realised. they're going to make the best game they can no matter the money. $5 million or $10 million.

Do you mean, the hype died down when you found out that Shenmue is meant to be 4 or 5 games because the only thing required to make the game fully realized from Yu Suzuki's point of view is the $5m tier which we will definitely hit. Everything above that is extras and reimplementing the stuff that made Hong Kong and Kowloon possible. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if the game isn't as huge as Hong Kong. I've been doing my current playthrough Shenmue 2 for over a week now and still can barely find my way around Hong Kong.
It would be nice to hit the battle tweak tiers though. Hopefully we can pick up the slack for a lot of things after the Kickstarter ends.
that's pretty awesome.Lol, oops. Here it is revised with a key.

It's Yu Suzuki that started this on reddit... I'm sure that the game will be great, and the best they can with the budget, but I don't think it's false to say that his vision for Shenmue 3 won't be fully realised.
Anyway... Shenmue 3 is happening, and I'm sure it's already good news for fans.

I guarantee you if you told any studio "Hey, you now have $20 million instead of $10 million, $50 million instead of $25 million, etc to add things and make even more improvements, can you?", every single one would say yes.
Yea, a bigger budget obviously means more features, a bigger game, but you wouldn't call other games "not fully realized" would you?
New stretch goal:
20 million: Create time-machine so that we can go back in time and stop Yu Suzuki commenting on the 10 million game budget.
Wow that's a lot of rewards. Thanks for this.
well it depends if you are referring to the actual quote or what people saying he said.
if we weren't going to hit $5 million you may have a point, as one of the things he really wanted to do wouldn't be realised.

Anyway, I'd prefer a Shenmue where everything is carefully crafted with a tighter experience than one that is procedurally generated. I love and prefer Shenmue 2 but I like Dobuita better than Hong Kong or Kowloon.
As long as I get to get to know Shenhua better, the entire game can be in a cabin for all I care.

The crow served to mods after Sony's conference was freaking amazing lmao. Best of all is that the mods took it like champions. After all we're getting games!

You mean the creeper who secretly photographs Fangmei? He's pretty hateable.
Oh wow I totally forgot he does that as well
