Re: Ryo and Nozomi

It makes sense really. People from Manchester are called Mancs, Manx is a breed of cat, Shenmue has a cat in it (and Fangmei looks like one).

It's a natural affinity.

Re: Anyone still write notes for playing a game?

In Yakuza I made notes about the hostesses' likes and dislikes so that I wouldn't give the "wrong" answer to questions I'd already faced. If anybody found those notes I think I'd shoot myself.

I also made notes of ongoing feuds in General Manager mode of SmackDown vs Raw 2006, as there was no way of checking this information while booking the card for the next show. Forgot to schedule another match between Triple H and Renee Dupree? Their 4-star feud is stricken from the game's memory; millions of pay-per-view buys lost.

Re: Is any other gaming franchise as much a victim of hoaxes

Shenmue is the low hanging fruit of fake gaming news. Surely there must be no troll points left in shooting these barrelled fish.

People who aim to start these rumors clearly having nothing more fulfilling in their lives. I was saying the same to my friends last night while we played the early access Beyond Good & Evil 2 demo.

Re: Random Thoughts! v2.0

Thats the thing I find so terrible. How could they serve knowing this? Are they so afraid of the nebulous threat of the dictator ordering their death? Are they that afraid of someone else, whose also afraid protecting a person that never really earned the power they have?
It's easy for us to judge from afar, from the perspective of people who grew up in a free world where we were raised to believe in ourselves and to challenge oppression. That's ingrained in us from a young age, from the culture all around us. The people of North Korea are ingrained with fear, obedience and inequality. That's their life. They don't have any other frame of reference because their dictatorship cuts them off from outside influences, instead blanketing their senses with propaganda that fuels their intimidation and/or loyalty.

Re: Need YOU to make a gaming purchase decision for me...

Even if both games were to drop in price at the same rate, bear in mind that every dollar spent on Ni No Kuni encourages publishers to take similar risks on localizing JRPGs for the West, whereas Hitman games are going to be churned out till the end of time regardless.

Re: Outdated daily things we take for granted

Bailiffs in courtroom if women I see are often forced to wear skirts as uniform code. I find that from another age where men were defined in pants as men and women were defined in dress as women.
Start a petition

I find the very definition of what is "smart" attire to be outdated. There's just no need for the shirt and tie combo to exist in the 21st century. It's one of those things that each generation inherits and accepts as normal because everyone else is doing it, despite its increasingly apparent absurdity. Maybe I'll start a petition myself.

Re: New Shenmue Campaign Video

I don't think that matters ShenmueTree. I hope similar thoughts aren't causing anyone else to be shy, as the purpose of Jack's video is to be as inclusive as possible. Putting your name down isn't a statement of self-importance, it just means you won't be offended to see your name and profile pic in the video. There's no reason why anyone should be, of course, but it's good manners to obtain permission first.

Re: Shenmue HD/3 Kickstarter

^ What Mittsie said. But to elaborate...

Many reasons why fans cannot and should not take it upon themselves to raise funds "for Shenmue 3" -

1) We don't know how much investment Sega would need in order to make the game. Only Sega knows.

2) Sega needs more than money to make the game. They need to be able to commit time and resources, which means taking staff away from other projects to work on this one. We don't know if or when Sega can make those rearrangements. Only Sega knows.

3) Why should the public trust an unofficial, unendorsed fundraiser to use their cash for the advertised purpose? With the best will in the world, there'll always be a suspicion that at least some of what's raised will be spent on hookers and crack.

4) If reason #3 results in people withholding their donations out of caution, it would misrepresent the demand that exists for this game. Sega would be given the false impression that people don't want the game after all, when in fact that isn't the reason they haven't paid up.

5) If the fundraiser fails to result in Shenmue III, for any of these reasons (and it only takes one), then people will be twice-shy about backing any legitimate, fully endorsed fundraiser that may happen down the line. They'll feel like they already tried this and it went nowhere, and so they'll pass up their chance to really make it happen.

6) Lastly, Kickstarter itself has guidelines stating that a project on the site must have "a clear goal, like making an album, a book, or a work of art. A project will eventually be completed, and something will be produced by it." Without Sega's prior approval, this cannot be guaranteed. The guidelines also state that examples of prohibited use include "promoting the donation of funds raised, or future profits, to a charity or cause." So a fan-organized Shenmue III fundraiser on Sega's unsolicited behalf would not even be allowed on Kickstarter.

In short, as exciting an idea as it may seem to "take the bull by the horns" and raise the money for Shenmue 3 ourselves, in practice it would not only be fruitless but would very probably do more harm to the game's prospects than good. It's a nice thought, but it should remain just that.

Re: Team Yu needs you!

Congrats to all who took part - biggest Tweetathon ever . Again!

And that's thanks in no small part to Ziming, who arranged for a post to be made on the 15k-strong ShenmueFans Facebook page, whose admins had been slow to follow through on their promise of support. The topic proved a real hit on their page and I think it had a strong effect on yesterday's turnout.

Shendream has kindly pledged support on behalf of Shenmue Master, but obviously their efforts to wrangle another interview with Yu Suzuki take precedence right now. Meanwhile I have a couple other logs in the fire. The next Tweetathon is of course March 3rd, but if you weren't aware of that pattern by now then I'm doing something very wrong...

Re: Shenmue HD/3 Kickstarter

I see the distinction you're making now. That's fair enough I suppose, although I think fans who see Sega launching a Kickstarter for Shenmue III and then think, "Oh, actually I won't donate in case they don't make it after all," would be in the minority. Most would take it as a real "now or never" invitation to put their money where their mouth is.

Re: How to win a Private Dinner where Yu Suzuki is Present!

This sounds cool. But what exactly I am meant to do? That translation isn't the most clear.
Any person who gets at least 30 people to "like" the MAGS Facebook page (proven by those 30 people posting the person's name in a specified comments thread on the page) will be entered into a draw, the winner then being chosen at random.

So if Shendream decides to enter, we would have to help him encourage 30 people to "like" that Facebook page and post his (real) name as the person who sent them there.

But I'm assuming this hasn't actually been discussed with him yet, so hold fire until we know he's up for it.
