kassj0peja: You can send direct messages without backing at all (at the very bottom of the KS).
If you back U$ 5 you can post comments and participate in surveys (one so far).
Thanks!
tfishell: (Could you maybe edit your post so there isn't a "wall of text"? ;) Thank you)
I'm not a backer but on the Kickstarter page there's a "Contact Me" link that let's you message on Kickstarter. (You do have to be signed up for Kickstarter, though.)
Originally I had no idea how to do that. I always feared I'd delete the wrong text. I hope I did it properly here.
Also thank you for the info as well. I sent them a message earlier but it's doubtful I'll get an answer.
Nothing much there. Hopefully he'll bring the news quick, fast and in a hurry. What are we down to now? Five days? And they still haven't hit 5mill? He's really not giving many a chance here. He can keep on messing around if he wants but I feel like people have bills to pay. Shenmue III is not a priority as opposed to a car note or rent. Right now the money could be there for some but who knows if it'll be there in five days? Why is he taking his time?
Check out some of these quotes from the Kickstarter.

@ tristan it could have happened if IGN didn't create that initial backlash over Sony involvement. It could have happened if Sega would have announced a HD collection in time. It could have happened if the entire fanbase would have helped. there were pettions with near 500 000 people during the years. We now have 10% of does people backing this. Where is everyone else? Are they waiting for the end of the campaign? Are they on that self entitled camp that doesn't support the KS because they feel entitled to ask Sony to fund this even doe it's not their game, even doe it was always presented as a finantial risk? Are they the ones saying that they feel betrayed for having to pay for the production of the game (even doe you get the game and other stuff from your pledges) when they keeped the game alive all this years (and now that they can help save it they are not backing it cause they have to pay)? I think if there was not such a division we would be near the 10 million mark already, but there is a lot of people that want the game, but expect Sony to take the risk or others for them and are not able to spare 29$ to help. :/ When this campaign started I was so happy to see so much people with the same pation i did for Shenmue but at the same time so sad to see how self entitled some gamers are and how they say they love the franchise, how long they waited for the game but they won't pay 29$ to help it be saved and help us make the game as good as it can be. And I bet does will be the same people that will complain in the end if the game isn't bigger and better then Shenmue 2. .
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/comments?cursor=10505240#comment-10505239 Everybody wants to complain about Sony but I doubt that's the issue. The issue is the lack of Remasters, the vagueness as to how this game is being released and really crappy tiers. Still not one of those tiers calls out to me except for the soundtrack and game. I couldn't careless about anything else and many others might feel the same. Not only that why does he keep dropping high priced tiers and nothing for the people who are donating less than $100? I'm glad this person noticed that the lack of Remasters is one of the problems but it's obvious that just Shenmue III alone wasn't enough to appeal to most of the fanbase.

They should've just kept it in Japanese with various language subtitles. The rest of our money should've gone into the fighting system in perspective systems and expansion.every Shenmue fan wants to play the game for the story not for the language.Core gameplay mechanics is where the rest of the money should go
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/comments?cursor=10504984#comment-10504983 This is brilliant. Japanese and various other subs. We don't need the other voice-overs anyway. Everyone hyped up Corey Marshall but honestly I think he sucked. He wasn't even an enjoyable campy kind of sucky either. The man made Ryo boring, annoying, downright unlikable and many times I put the game down because of him.

Yu has been very vague on a bunch of issues some i understand but we do not even know if the pc version has drm or not and what platform will deliver the digital version. So i assume no paypal and expect drm unless we are told other wise.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/comments?cursor=10504879#comment-10504878 And I think this here is the issue that is holding this campaign back. No Paypal. No one knows about DRM. Remasters? Yes, no, maybe? No one knows any legit answers so he's not going to get the money he wants.
Recently I stumbled across a Kickstarter where they had a demo video, HQ concept art and they even had a downloadable demo of the game for PC, Mac and Linux. I downloaded the game and it was decent but I wanted to know more. I messaged them asking if there was DRM on the game. They messaged me three days later saying there was not. I immediately threw money at them. I messaged Yu close to a week ago. I understand people behind his campaign might be busy but it seems like everything has been done wrong from the jump. They make one step forward and take two steps back whenever they can.
At this point Yu is holding himself and his campaign back. I'm glad he's considering DLC later on down the road because that's probably the easiest and best way to finish this series. He can release new physical versions later on down the road when the entire story is finished.
