This post speaks to me, especially that last part.I LIKE to see games that are far off. First, I'm not going anywhere. I'm still going to be playing games in a few years. And second, I like that showing some games shows where the future of the medium will be in a few years. Seeing so many people go "mwah, Shenmue 3 isn't coming out this year or NEXT YEAR!!!" it's like who fucking cares? Are you a babby? They announced a kickstarter and used the attention to launch into the most successful kickstarter ever. And in the meantime a ton of people had an emotional, unforgettable moment that united them as a community and will be with them for the rest of their lives. God people are so fucking jaded about everything. Just constant whining.
As an aside, I am so fucking sick of Shenmue III being used as a tool/weapon by console warriors (positively or negatively), when probably 90% of the people who do so have zero genuine care about the game.
