No wonder the KS is floundering. The team who helped Iga with bloodstained were way more on top of things. It's amazing this KS got as much funding as it has, a testament to the fanbase. I put in 500$ myself, but really, this is so poorly run, and this hipster spaz in the flannel is not inspiring confidence, nor is this poorly done stream. I hope people will still fund this....

Why does the guy on the right agree with his head when Yu is speaking in Japanese. He's not actually understanding what he says.

I'm just listening to this fucking train wreck at the moment, and it's breaking my heart. :_:

If these are the best english communicators they have, well... that explains everything.

Wow, $10,000 + just now. Maybe this is a secret tactic. Feel so sad for Suzuki on that stream and have potential backers weep and pledge out of sympathy.

Genius marketing by YS; plaid shirt is going to become an internet celebrity and bring lots of funding to Shenmue III.


He should probably be fired

Floundering? PLease this KS is on track with others. This stream has actually helped lol. Most KS lose steam after the first couple of days. This stream will actually provide a boost.

this hilarious shit show was exactly the shot in the arm they needed

they should do these every three days now

They should alternate. Bring in someone who knows what they're doing for a show (Huber + Yu playing Lucky Hit. Somebody make it happen), then bring these guys back.

I wanted to dominate the living room. Then I took an ESRAM in the knee.
They should put the stretch goals a little bit higher to cover that guy.

Seriously, this is so unprofessional, it's not even funny, given that you are asking for 10mio dollars.

I'm sure he's been in Japan long enough to develop the mannerisms. Probably knows some Japanese, too. They don't just let you in there on a work visa without knowing some. He also doesn't look like an English teacher.

I feel like this stream is the best possible proof that they don't have a bunch of big corporate backers supporting them.

The dude on the right is like a living, breathing Shenmue character. It's great

"Can you tell me where to find some sailors?"

"Sailors? Yeah sailors, alright, yeah, sailors, alright"

So I'm not the only one wondering what the hell I'm watching, right? The volume, the flickering, the guy tweaking on the right? This is not me be hypercritical when I say this is not the level of quality we expected or deserve, yes?

Site looks legit, but I'm trying to understand what exactly these guys do? Marketing firm or what?

That's a decent design. I'm disappointed. I was expecting something out of 1998.

I assume they're competent in marketing, just not particularly competent at marketing in english. They just don't have good english communicators, if this stream is any indication.

And really, all the issues with the kickstarter that have been in their control have been problems with communication. Forgetting time zones, not having stretch goals explained, not doing meaningful updates at the start of the campaign...

Yup, makes the most sense.

Listen to this podcast, it pretty much explains it all.

Long story short, Awesome is WAY over their heads.

They certainly do let you have a work visa without knowing any Japanese, hence how I have one. Haha.
