Shenmue is loved by an extremely vocal minority on the internet. The game isn't even good, it's quite bad in fact.


Nope. That's just your opinion.

And this so-called "vocal minority" managed to make Shenmue 3 the most backed game in kickstarter history. Pretty sure most companies would love to have such "vocal minorities" as fanbases.

The game's still going to flop hard, just like the first two Shenmue's. Only hardcore gamers back games on kickstarter, they're the definition of vocal minority. And Shenmue has aged badly, that is no opinion. Shenmue 3 is also the only kickstarter game that ever got announced at an E3 press conference of one of the big 3. And money Shenmue collected on kickstarter is peanuts for a budget a modern open world game needs. I really doubt this game will do well commercially and criticically.
