Because as it is now Paypal won't get people rewards. I really don't care that much about rewards, I want the game. But if there's a $1,000 goal there are some people(like me) who just can't drop that much money in one go. But if you give me a year or two I could easily do that.

That would really entice someone who wants to get the $1,000 reward to eat the elephant one bite at a time.


Yeah that makes total sense! Especially since the rewards probably won't ship until the games release date. The only problem and the probable reason why they haven't implemented this system is because people's finances change. If they guarentee the full sum of money by a certain date, that can account for it, but if I was to snatch the $10k reward and plan out that i'm gonna pay $1k a month over 10 months, come the 3rd month I can't afford $1k and the bank declines their payment everything goes tits up.

[Repeat the above/previous whole statement; stop at the first phrase when the Kickstarter is over, or (if PayPal or 'Star Citizen'-like crowdfunding models are adopted, then stop) when Shenmue 3 is released (or when those models of crowdfunding are over, too). - While crowdfunding is active (in any form), If the denoted Stretch Goal of the last phrase is reached, then replace that (Stretch Goal) with the next one (or with the one, that has not yet be reached, of your preference).]

do you want a telltale kind of shenmue 3? well not me

You're right it is great, but it should also be their job to clean up the mess that they caused with the Sony funding, however they don't care. Also, don't read the comments lol It will piss you off no end.

lol tell me about it. I was still getting over the shock that the game is actually being made to even think what the game is going to be like. After seeing the new stretch goals and the new video with Yu talking about the 3 locations, I am so so so damn excited!
Time to start doing the weekly lottery again. Fingers crossed, I'll put in a large amount if I win :D!

Possible if there is a PayPal post Kickstarter, imho. I think 6m is definitely an attainable Kickstarter goal though. I'm looking forward to hitting a comfortable mark when it's all said and done, I'd like to sit back and enjoy the road to Shenmue III finally... we deserve it. So let's do all we can now, it'll be worth it. Between the #30onthe3rd and the last few days, I think we'll hit that 6m.

In a way it's good they've posted these far off stretch goals now, rather than have backers or potential backers get complacent and think "Oh well we only need the $5million to fund everything additional".

They'd be foolish not to open it up to PayPal after the Kickstarter ends.

They really should have got some more minor things in between the $5-$6 million area. Once $5 million is hit it's hard to get people excited by saying it's only $900k until our next stretch goal! Especially now when they're struggling to make $30k a day. At this rate it's even dragging between the current stretch goals that are only $500k apart. Even if it was shitty things like different jackets for Ryo in game having a stretch goal every 200k gives it a but more momentum. I see it getting no further then the Portuguese subtitles.

For people who know when Kickstarters add Paypal. Do they normally add the the total to the Kickstarter total for all too see? And games who carry on accepting afterwards can you still look at the total raised normally?

they need to get it across to the average gamer that if you donate $29, your not only helping the game to get made your also getting the game its self.

but i would also agree with tones of members here, paypal is the way forward as sending money through kickstarter could be putting people off.

I really do not think this kickstarter will gain any more steam. There is nothing to remind people about this crowd-funding campaign, or anything to draw in new people who do not know what shenmue is.

I bet if demos were released periodically, they will receive a continuous cash flow and may realistically hit that $11 mil goal.
