Forums - Gaming Discussion - Last 24 hs of Shenmue kickstarter. Near World Record

About to go past 6M
Don't think it'll reach the 6.5M goal
That's actually great cause it seemed to me 6M goal was the last important one. Rest is pretty much fluff

6M is great. AI battle at 7 was good too.

at one point I thought it would end up over 8million... but 4hours left and its not over 6mil yet.

And it supposedly still isn't enough.

While they didn't run the campaign as smartly as a lot of other people did and probably loose a lot of positive buzz because of that, they were ironically really hurt by their association with sony.
All those reports coming out, telling people to stop funding the game and that sony would pick up the slack anyways, made people suspicious and apathetic towards the kickstarter.
Also the stretchgoals seem kind of unverwhelming and incomprehensive, as well as too far spaced out from each other to really be an incentive. All these 'battle system expanded' ones seem nice enough, but for someone who isn't familiar with the shenmue battle system in the first place that doesn't really say anything and isn't as exciting as say, 'new city district added - you can now explore the harbour' or something...

Stuff like that costs money, shenmue 3 will be an open world 3 D game, bloodstained is a 2d game. Its easy putting new ares into it.



Why i left PC gaming

 

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

The KS isnt that bad considering that its only for 2 Platforms. Bloodstained lets not forget was launched for 3 platforms and even added vita and wiiu which boosted the money even further as they were added as stretch goal.

I realize that. My point wasn't exactly that I want more aerias in the game (that was just a placeholder text) but that they should have named and explained their Strechgoals in better varied and more comprehensive terms. Hell give it more exciting names and put little pictures, but do something with it that keeps it from sounding dull. Strechgoals should at least sound exciting so that there is incentive to reach them.

6.1million with 2 hours to go.
