lol I was going to do the same thread some days ago until I forgot the idea.
It was the day when Shenmue 3 released. That was one week before the official release but as I was a backer, I obtained the Holy Grail from my letter box.
My home was weird and different. I guess it's the kind of house I plan to get in the future. It had a nice cinema lounge, probably because I already prepared myself IRL to discover Shenmue III in the best conditions as possible (my subconscious got a good idea here, I must admit).
The typical lightning put forward a flat TV, a low table with Shenmue III box above and two seats from the darkness. Two seats because I was in fact with my brother, we had the habit to play Shenmue together IRL.
A cinematic ran in loop on the flat TV. That were Ryo and Shenhua walking and talking each other through Guilin forest in slightly improved Shenmue II graphics. I thought it was the Shenmue I+II cinema shorts earned through the stretch goals.
My excitement was getting higher and higher as I finally decided to unbox the dvd. I thought about all the things, all the epic adventure that would come just from this box. Shenmue III was in my hands !!! All these two years to wait since the kickstarter annoucement finally rewarded !!! We were going to play !!!
Then my dream became more and more unclear and completely different. I woke up after some minutes and was completely disgusted.
As usual, my subconscious decided to ruin my geek dreams just at the crucial moment. I never was be able to play a video game in my dreams. And that was the first time I dreamed about Shenmue. I miss my chance
