Day of Release

(Chapter 7 and beyond)

Day of Release

Postby reptile » Fri Jan 08, 2016 5:35 pm

Only a year to go: December 2017


-What will be happening, will Shenmue III be everywhere?
-How exciting is this day going to be when it comes? Will you be playing Shenmue III
-People may already be pumped up for Christmas!
-What activity will be going on in Shenmue Dojo and it's forums?
-What will YOU be doing?

I will just buy the game from a retail nearby (if sold) yes I did not back the game at Kickstarter or Paypal.

I'll no doubt spend the day alone, take a little time off work, stock up on coffee and lock myself in my living room, playing Shenmue III. No idea what pace I'll play it at, I'll just go with the flow.

This is of course, based on the assumption that my copy actually arrives by release day, which knowing AJ, I'm not exactly filled with optimism that it will. Although I suppose it should be easy enough to buy another copy, which is probably ideal anyway, as I can keep my collector's copy sealed.

I'll wear ice hockey equipment to be sure to stay alive until that moment. No piano fallen in your face, no thieves in my house, no ironic bad luck on the final day please.

Maybe I would have a look around stores before just to see Shenmue III on shelves and make the magic happen.

Is actually 2 years of waiting this one just started. When the game comes out I'm taking a week off.

Erm. By my calculations, December 2017 is 2 years away!

I don't think it'll release in 2017 either, but I'm going to make sure I have time off on release day if at all possible.

Cédric said that they're targeting Christmas for commercial reasons so I guess that Ysnet has some comfortable margin before the production end.

I'd like to take a week or two off from work, then replay S1 and S2 before starting with the third one. I'll stock up on a lot of food and beer, disconnect the fixed line phone and turn off my mobile during those two weeks. :D

I fear the same issue will happen with regards to AJ.
I'd be absolutely fine with purchasing another copy on release day if it does.

It's not just an AJ problem, it's a problem with all Kickstarters....

I'll have pre-ordered a physical retail release (I'm assuming the KS version will not have arrived), have the day booked off work and just sit down and play. It's going to be a bizarre experience, as I had truly given up hope of there ever being a Shenmue 3.

Deus Ex was my favorite game and franchise before I played Shenmue, so naturally when Human Revolution was on its way I was hyped as fuck. I'd gotten a pre-order on it from Newegg for $40 with free shipping, and the idea of it not arriving by release day simply never occurred to me until it happened. Quite like you, I'd had my whole afternoon and evening planned around it, but didn't end up getting it until the next week.

I will hopefully have just completed a replay of the first two games when going into the third. That said, I'll treat Shenmue III as I do any game from a favorite series of mine... I will enjoy it.

I'm in for a total of $113 ($100 via Kickstarter; $13 via Paypal) and am looking forward to continuing the story. I probably won't take any time off as I don't even know what I'll be doing for a career (possibly in a new career as I'll be done with my bachelor's degree at the end of 2016).

I'm going to order Pizza and Chinese food on the week Shenmue 3 releases. What type of food you guys are going eat while playing Shenmue 3?
