More Vita Games than 3DS Games

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.

Yes it is. If you want to call it another word, I won't stop you but it doesn't change the fact that that's your opinion. The announcement at E3 was both a blessing and a curse. People assumed that Sony would pay the rest of the bill so they were disinclined to contribute to the kickstarter campaign which was handled horribly.

Also, you didn't intially say that it has "aged badly" but that "The game isn't even good, it's quite bad in fact". You can move the goalposts all you want, but don't expect not be called out when you do.

Plenty of games of that age have aged much better. Therefor Shenmue is a bad game. It was ambitious and a pioneer in the game industry, but that doesn't make it a good game. Open world games are the norm in the AAA industry nowadays, Shenmue is going to need something else to stand out now. With such a low budget I doubt much will come from it. When's the last time you have played Shenmue? Because there are far better open world games nowadays. GTA 3 is a lot better and only came out a year or so later.
