I trust you fine Codexers will notify me when I can get my opportunity to take my money out of Epic's pocket
https://fulfillment.fangamer.com/kindling/shenmue3/survey_support

You can now ask for your money back. and I suggest you to do so because now apparently it's not even sure you'll get a Steam key one year later.

It's not giving me any option to refund. Just to select Epic or Ps4 digital version. Not interested in a steam key at this point, I want these assholes to pay for their bullshit. Any ideas?

Submitted my refund request. Now we’ll see how long it takes to come through.

No but I read several people have this problem as well.

I sent an e-mail to them asking for a refund and asking why the option wasn't on my survey. It worked for someone else in the kickstarter comments. I want my 29.99 away from Epic. Will keep you posted!

Shit like this tainted a whole generation of western youth.

Don't worry, the third part will taint the same people or newbies, but for some different reasons... it being most probably broken, unfinished game.

I still haven't managed to play through Shenmue 2. 1 was already a fucking endurance test by the end, and 2 doesn't improve any of the primary problems.

I refuse to accept that any of the people who keep talking up Shenmue actually played the fucking thing.

Well, Shenmue is the game that everyone praises, but no one bought back in the day, nor do they replay it or even play it in the first place.

Impressive tech demo but a bit WTF as a videogame.

I'll take the opportunity to remind you that this tech isn't impressive anymore.

Shenmue 3 still has to prove to us that it isn't the next Mighty No. 9.

I never played Shenmue back in the day (I bought my Playstation 1 in 1999 so I was behind the times), but if minigames annoyed me in FF7, I'm probably getting crazy with Shenmue.

I think I've never played any sandbox.

Shenmue's graphics and play smoothed over the rougher edges of the gameplay. Most people who hated it just came to find the free flowing open world games of GTA more palatable, so they retroactively applied criticism to Shenmue. Myst was also like this, hated later by people who thought it was just about the graphics when they found out they couldn't handle adventure gameplay.

Hey I hated Myst on release felt like a step backwards towards hidden object games from contemporary adventure games of the day.

That launch trailer was cringe for the first few seconds. Should've been recaptioned "18 years ago we ran out of money.... then we discovered crowdfunding!"

Playing it later tonight. It's one of those games that are going to be impossible to recomend, will suck by all review standards, but will make me immensely happy nonetheless.

Well, this is a review from a longtime fan of the series.



He seems to love it. Looks great to me, honestly. I'll be waiting until it hits steam, possibly a year from now. Hope everyone who backed it and is excited about it has a great time!

I gave 100 $hekels and don't really care anymore.

Maybe I'll play when it comes to Steam and they patch out the eating/endurance mechanic.

Well, I will try the Codex version to see for myself.
