Shenmue 3 - soon to be 2nd most funded game Kickstarter

[Axm]

I've already posted this in the Kickstater's comments but it's an interesting bit of trivia that's worth mentioning here as well. I just thought I'd remind everyone of this page: https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/most-funded

It's a list of the all-time most funded campaigns on Kickstarter. With 23 days to go Shenmue 3 already ranks as the 13th most funded campaign of all time. A great achievement by all who are supporting this campaign.

To put things further in perspective, Shenmue 3 is close to overtaking most of the remaining video game Kickstarters. At 3.9 million we beat Mighty No. 9. At 4 million we beat Project Eternity. At 4.2 million we beat Torment: Tides of Numenera. Then Shenmue 3 becomes the 2nd most funded video game Kickstarter ever.

These aren't far off goals, overtaking these three games is well within reach. Just another $600,000 to go. So, spread the word, these symbolic victories might just generate more positive press for Shenmue 3.

We will beat them all

As a side note, I would still like to try Pillars of Eternity. And I'll definitely get Torment : Tides of Numenera when it gets released. I wonder if it will be able to provide an experience as Planescape : Torment.

It'll definitely surpass Mighty No. 9, and I hope it will surpass Bloodstained. I think we'll have no issues whatsoever getting to $5 million. Just hope we can double that before the campaign is over.

Not at the current pace. Something needs to be done.

Well, thanks to today's boost Shenmue 3 has just passed Mighty No. 9. to become the 4th most funded video game Kickstarter ever.

Next target - Project Eternity.

Major changes are already taking place, and we are starting to see increase in pledges once again. The only detractor to this all is how niche this game is, being a continuation of a series instead of a remake like most of the successful game Kickstarters (ie Bloodstained, Mighty No 9 and Torment: Tides of Numenera), and the constant bashing by the media.

Forget what I said earlier about a boost. Thanks to the latest announcements the campaign has really taken off. At this rate Shenmue 3 could surpass Project Eternity within the hour!
