To remind everyone Shenmue's status just a year ago:

phpBB [video]


This is for every Shenmue fan who suffered through that awful Q&A at GDC for the postmortem that made a joke out of Yu Suzuki's legacy.

This is for every Shenmue fan who had to suffer through the Kikizo debacle.

This is for the Shenmue fans who remember when our beloved series memory had been reduced "where can I find sailors?" in the gaming populace at large.

This is for every Shenmue fan who remembers how the gaming media abused our trust and made a laughing stock out of us for having the adacity to adore this series.

This is for all the Shenmue fans who remember being the butt of gaming fandoms jokes for no apparent reason.

This is for Yu Suzuki, whose legacy had been laughed at, tarnished, and treated like a complete joke despite being a creative genius and a huge influence on our hobby.

I refuse to mollycoddle these people who have made it hard for Shenmue fans and most of all, Suzuki-san, over the years. I outright refuse and I will bask in this Kickstarter's finale like we deserve.

Jeff has been against just about anything possible in gaming. It's almost like he hates games.

I don't rally worry what he says, there are people who will hate anything and everything I like. Shrugs..

The sailors thing doesn't make me angry because it's one of my favorite parts in Shenmue 1. What makes me angry is that is what Shenmue's legacy had been reduced to.

I don't agree with this. I mean, almost everything has groups of people who hate it. I don't get the point of focusing on them or talking about them? Not sure what that does

If showing a troll or a guy proof of what he has said is wrong or will be wrong

Do we really expect them to say, oh yeah... I see... Ill stop trolling it. Nah, your only giving them fuel to keep going. Attention is all he fuel they need.

Who cares? We have been going through for a whole decade but we can't rise above it put our feet in peoples mouth for one, single thread? If you don't like the thread, you don't have to post in it.

All things receive hate; true. SHenmue received more than hate. It was a literal meme. It was a complete joke in gaming circles. I don't know how much I have to explain this, but you need to watch Suzuki's GDC Q&A. Because I refuse to argue you defending these people any longer.

BTW I'm not talking about mollycoddle people (had to google that). Just not being too much narcissistic.

Shenmue was never a joke (just a recurring theme for trolls), it's a big part of gaming history, there will always be people with different tastes.

Also trolls will troll.

We changed history today, and that for me is enough.

Shenmue has been treated like a joke by gamers and especially the gaming media and you think us being vindicated and rubbing salt in the wound makes us...narcissistic? :-k

This is one thread. If you don't like the messages contained within why do keep posting in it?

Because I can :P

I don't mind rubbing some salt on people, I've never thought of Shenmue as a joke, just a cult game that a lot of stupid people didn't play.

Nah, it’s just a funny meme, that’s all.
Shenmue’s legacy consists of the unique personal experiences that we, the fans, have kept in our hearts over the years. A couple of funny vids based on a few choice scenes won’t tarnish it.

Regarding the thread: it’s an early victory celebration of sorts (with a side of vindication). As long as Himuro doesn’t start spamming sites everywhere and assaulting random passersby on the street, I’m sure it’ll be fine…I think…

oh, that abomination of a review. Yeah I remember that. Gave me a mini panic attack while it was airing, its akin to a televised bullying, and to make it worse, its right in your face.
