Shenmue deserves better than failed promises (PC for slacker backer, updated models), false musings from the people who fund it, poor fan communication and messaging.
This is honestly about more than PSX for me like I said. For me it's a culmination of the entire KS campaign. I'm definitely not articulating myself well, but I expect better from Shenmue and especially Suzuki and while the existence of the game is fantastic news, I think there's so many things that could be done better. Will I not shut up until I see that footage for public critique like Mrandyk said? I sure as fuck will. It could be this month, next month, and I still won't stop because this project spent too many goddamn years not being a reality to be treated with the mediocre effort from Awesome Japan and others. The fact that we the fans have to advertise and market this game at this point any time something new comes up speaks for itself. The failed communication between Cedric and the fans was the last straw and just one of the many issues I've had with this project since its inception and I'm sorry if my tone gives off the point that I'm stressed or I'm losing sleep over this (I'm not). I just think Shenmue deserves better and I want the same thing for this game that other Kickstarter's are getting. I see Bloodstained KS thread getting bumped on neogaf all the bloody time and never see the same thing for Shenmue and Shenmue deserves it so much more.
I just want the best for this game and I don't know how to articulate how. I'm not trying to be spiteful. Yes, I have to wait, but I'm sick of waiting.
I would have honestly been fine if this wasn't teased to be at PSX in the first place. It's great that you guys are over it but I'm not and I'm actually worried about the game itself and I will not relent until my fears are assuaged. Yes I trust Peter and LanDC. But if Cedric can't communicate well on the officiality of Shenmue III being at PSX because he had hoped "as a fan" then how would development look like if it's as scattered as the rest of the campaign? From Awesome Japan, to the poor messaging from Cedric, to the lack of actual game updates, I'm worried and the entire project is a giant question mark for me at this point.
Sorry, but I will continue to be critical.
Are you 12? Sorry, I'm coming off as an ass here...but you are coming off as an ignorant child.
You don't understand kickstarter. You don't understand the situation. You know nothing, yet have made up enough of a story in your head to throw what amounts to a hissy fit.
The developers have had monthly updates. They don't even owe you that. Just because you feel like your spoon should be in the bowl of soup the game is suddenly in trouble? A handful of people have already stated over and over again why you are wrong and acting irrationally. Read what people are saying instead of dismissing it and continuing your entitled rants about how everything would be better if they kept the mighty Himuro up to speed.
Run to the press an tell on Ysnet.
