Shenmue 3 Kickstarter

[Snatch1414]

As much as I'd like to I can't justify any more money. Hell, I can't even justify what I have in there currently. Right now I'm essentially paying for the game plus an extra $100 to receive a .50 toy and my name buried on a list of probably 10,000+ people.

Love the project, excited as hell, but I still maintain the reward levels are screwed up. They might have an extra half a million dollars right now if they put zero cost stuff like the MP3 soundtrack much lower. The $160 tier should probably be the $100 one, aside from the t-shirt.

I'm not putting in any more money either, because I've already upped my pledge plenty. I've gone from the $60 tier up to the $250 tier... That's more than I should really be investing. I'm not made of money right now

I also agree that the reward tiers are completely fucked up. I wish they had added things like a replica mirror, watch and diary etc. from the beginning. They're considering adding them now, but they'll put them in tiers that are closer to the thousands

I'm hoping the $30 on the 3rd campaign will work though and people who haven't upped their pledges (or those who only put in $29) will contribute.

I would be paying 30 but money is tight so just 20 will do. Gotta get Dat capsule toy!!

double posting, but Yu Suzuki is doing a live stream in 16 minutes on his twitch channel

Seriously could've done with just Yu Suzuki and the translator. Something unprofessional and strange about that guy's demeanor. Was he trying to get people excited? I just found him off putting.

I think it was a mixture of nerves and a social disorder. I can't blame the guy. I mean. It is a pretty big deal. He also was looking at the chat and seeing people go ape shit at him, so I am sure that didn't make him feel any better.

Hrm, I hope he's doing okay. Is be losing compadre slightly if I was next to legendary Yu Suzuki. I was getting worried when I saw him putting gloves on to show the watch. Speaking of which, it's gone already. I was expecting a few more replica watches, not just one. That doesn't sustain significant numbers of backers, that's for certain. I'm curious what's in those grab bags.

We just hit 3.7, so hopefully as more rewards and information gets to us, we start climbing a little more steady.

I think people are too harsh on the guy. The questions got asked and answered. He was probably just really nervous. I know people expect a certain level of professionalism where nerves don't show, but shit like that happens.

[Niode]

My body is ready.

I don't understand how it's taken this long for people to realize that Awesome Japan is at the helm of the Kickstarter, and that they're pretty much f-ups. It was all there from day one. Now everyone seems to be misplacing his emotions. Kickstarter comment section is a circus side show right now.
