I hope it fits the buyer :|

Edit: you need sister hood of the traveling pants to go with a such fancy jacket

 

[minx]

Dude... The game is going to get backed way over the 2 million. Put that into your retirement fund. I'm assuming if you are willing to drop 10k on a game that you max out your IRA every year? Right?

 

[Afrocious]

It is a good idea to use credit card for points then go pay it off in a few day so that the points can register, plus, you have a better fraud protection.
You are worse off by using your debit card.

This literally only works if you have the money.

Chances without: 0%


I mean... what more convincing do you need?

:lol



I think a Gaffer should own that jacket. It's only fitting.

 

[XanaviF30]

You touch. You buy.

Keep it dude.

 

[Adam Prime]

Its more than just a jacket, you get:

Special video message just for you by Yu Suzuki
Named as a Special Sponsor in the credits
Includes the $500 Reward



Think of the value!

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Damn, the things I could do with 10K. I'd never wear that jacket though if I was you OP.

Need a cushy retirement to finally finish that Steam backlog...

 

[Odrion]

I should keep the jacket if Mother 3 is announced tomorrow.

You could buy over ten Mother 3 Game Boy Micros with $10,000. Which is also insane but at least they can't be replicated. Or buy one for like $750, and brag about it while keeping $9,250. I promise you that the dopamine reward would be very similar.

 

[RedAssedApe]

all of gaf should pool money to pay for the jacket and it could be like that sisterhood of traveling pants movie...where you pass it along amongst gaffers (at least i think that's what happens in that movie based on the title) lol

 

[-Eddman-]

Found a pic of your new jacket, man:

Come on, you know you want it...

 

[Brakus]

Gaming history my man!

 

[Adam Prime]

I should keep the jacket if Mother 3 is announced tomorrow.

I'm actually starting to doubt your authenticity OP. I mean, this is insane. How do you only intend to back such a low tier, end up selecting the highest tier... and you're not hyperventilating and losing your shit right now?

I mean I would believe your story if you had intended to back the $100 tier, or $1000 tier, like maybe you missed a zero. But seriously... I don't know OP.

 

[RiZ III]

Worth it.

He doesn't have to pay until the end. Like I said it's a pretty unique item that ended up in his lap.

BTW OP, don't do it.

 

[Permanently A]

I mean, a sizeable amount of people were chomping at the bit to get the jacket. I think that they wouldn't mind paying more for it too. Seems like a decent investment to me if you take care of it properly.

 

[Syriel]

If you donate that kind of money, you should have access to a percentage of the profits. That's just a ridiculous tier.

$10k is a super small amount of the dev budget. $2mill isn't even close to the whole budget for a game like that.

 

[Jotamide]

Let the Gametrailers guy have this tier lol.

 

[Erekiddo]

He doesn't have to pay until the end.

If it charged my card immediately, I'd be emailing furiously.

It doesn't charge till the end. Wanted to share the story on GAF. Still backed, currently.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

Ladies will be begging you to do them when you walk down the street in it.

Buy it.

 

[Syriel]

Make sure you buy a forklift to go with it.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

DO IT.

Now he has to do it. To prove you wrong.

 

[Neiteio]

That jacket probably has power comparable to the power in Fonzie's jacket

How can one man have so much power

 

[dehalcyone]

What happens if it rips/succumbs to weather wear? Unless you really have that kinda spare cash available, I would advise against that type of purchase.

That's mortgage/ car payment/retirement material.

 

[iMAGINATION]

You could start saving up from now to pay for it. Keep it for a couple years then sell it for 3x the amount.

 

[Neiteio]

I should keep the jacket if Mother 3 is announced tomorrow.

You'll keep the $10,000 jacket, but then they'll announce Itoi's semen-stained underwear is -also- available for $10,000. What do you do then?!

 

[joecanada]

So wait you are thinking of NOT getting it? What are you going to play shenmue in? A regular jacket like a peasant? Cmon gold gaf awaits you...


Lol only if you can actually afford this bro

 

[tensuke]

goddamn i just want to say that i love the internet more than anything in the world

 

[Odrion]

If it charged my card immediately, I'd be emailing furiously.

I'm hoping that you're not thinking of bailing out of it right at the end. Lmao, imagine if that would cause it to miss a stretch goal.

I don't think one is supposed to wear it that much.

 

[Penguins&PolarBears]

Start a GoFundMe for your accidental kickstarter purchase.

Or ask for a crowd sourced loan from Prosper to pay it off.

 

[Izuna]

Let's all fund it together and give it to a disabled, struggling Shenmue fan and be the best people in the world.

This way we can guarantee that Shenmue III will continue to be as impactful as it has been for the rest of us.

 

[Erekiddo]

I'm hoping that you're bailing out of it right at the end.

I don't intend on changing it last minute. Just a hilarious set of circumstances.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

NeoNess
Wears your net worth as a jacket
(Today, 06:04 AM)

Good with GIFs and tags.

 

[Izuna]

holy shit a raffle would be nice‏


we would all pay 100‏


then whomever wins the raffle gets the jacket‏

--

Please let us do this mods, if he doesn't keep it. NeoGAF getting feels a little like me knowing a guy that knows a guy.

 

[sn00zer]

Considering no one is saying it, youre being a fucking idiot if you need to "I need to eat, and pay rent. "

 

[NolbertoS]

You just reminded me of Himuro. I know he would be uber excited of all this news today.

 

[Semper88]

Considering no one is saying it, youre being a fucking idiot if you need to "I need to eat, and pay rent. "

+1.

The fuck are you thinking.

 

[Aztechnology]

This is definitely OP. Someone edit this with Shenmue's jacket lol

 

[border]

I think you could easily sell it on eBay for $10,000 or more if you really need money.

If you're a scoundrel you could probably sell it and then just ship the buyer a fake jacket you bought for $300 at a department store.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

OP you gotta get it

 

[texhnolyze]

Authenticity though

Not the same

I'm just saying that it won't be the only one in the world.
People won't go as far as checking the authenticity of the jacket each time someone wears one in public.

 

[HUELEN10]

If it is okay with the mods, I can pledge to give you 20 USD so you can buy the jacket, as long as you make a video thanking each of YOUR sponsors which sponsored YOU to sponsor Shenmue.

 

[7DollarHagane]

I like the idea of auctioning it for charity. It'll go for more than 10k

 

[WiCkEd_Co]

 

[Trojan X]

GET THE JACKET!

 

[Pixels]

You don't need it.

 

[x3sphere]

I didn't realize this came with a special video from Yu Suzuki too. If we all pitched in then maybe he'd namedrop NeoGAF in it.

 

[minx]

Considering no one is saying it, youre being a fucking idiot if you need to "I need to eat, and pay rent. "

Yup
