The Touryst is a bit of a let down. It looks beautifully and has quite some charm. Its puzzles and actual gameplay became boring quite soon though. Jumping is too imprecise and actually frustrating sometimes, with lots of trial and error.

Not doing too well in Japan either

Hm, it's not selling well, is it? https://www.google.de/amp/s/metro.co.uk/2019/11/25/shenmue-3-fails-crack-top-10-latest-uk-sales-chart-11217176/amp/

Everytime I leave my Switch in sleep mode for more than a day it turns itself off. Is there any way to prevent this?

I think I used cheats to avoid any combat as it is indeed awful.

Dunkirk: 5/5

I guess it's a philosophical question if you're happy with the Kickstarter or not. I understand people being disappointed with having spent 300 dollars and receiving their physical copies late or not receiving digital content the retail version features or with the absolutely loveless cardbox or with late instructions how to claim their digital codes. Whether these people are "fans" or not is totally irrelevant. Garwoofoo's stance is definitely the most healthy one.

In all fairness though, I do understand some of their frustration. I don't think it was a completely transparent, well-communicated campaign and process.

Yes, this uncertainty is why I've always been in favour of bringing Shenmue to an end with Shenmue 3. Yu said it's not possible, but maybe he would have been able to reduce some of the slack and make room for story advancement.

Metacritic score below 70 now with Polygon claiming "not passable as a game" https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/shenmue-iii I'll play it over christmas anyway.

There's some massive frustration and disappointment at Kickstarter with many backers complaining about lack of communication from Fangamer, not being included in the credits, loveless sleeves/cases and receiving their copies/codes late: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/comments I have to agree and am quite disappointed to receive it that late, after non-backers were able to purchase it many days ago.

The Guardian says "it works". https://www.theguardian.com/games/2019/nov/18/google-stadia-review-gylt From the NYT: "In my tests playing several Stadia games last week, I was generally impressed with how smoothly the games streamed. Even titles with intense graphics ran well on my TV, on a laptop and on a cheap smartphone. But there were occasional glitches and quality issues because of inconsistent internet speeds and early bugs." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/18/technology/personaltech/google-stadia-review.html?partner=IFTTT

I'm a backer of the digital version (PS4) but want to buy the physical version now. Can I sell my digital code or is it personalised?

Any idea when the digital Kickstarter copies will be made available (PSN)?
