To be honest, I don't even play videogames anymore, I'm only interested in Shenmue 3 for the story. I found out about the kickstarter on Reddit.
Yesterday I watched a playthrough of Shenmue 2 to refresh myself of the story and characters. And I just realized how weird the ending of Shenmue 2 is. I don't know what to think about the floating sword and magic. It's like Shenmue turned into a fantasy game at that point.
