GCU not working on this. Is this considered a black Friday deal?

Yeah it's an early Black Friday deal.

Probably would have waited this out to get even cheaper as I won't be playing it anytime soon, but since it comes with the steelbook I went ahead and ordered one. Store pickup too so I'll have it today. Neat
 
was gonna buy one but i guess ill wait till 19.99 or lower.. my backlog is huge and so i decided no more games unless if they are 19.99 or lower :p

 
Even though I spent $400 on this game ($300 KS and $100 LRG), I'm happy to see it get a sale and hopefully it'll sell well enough to warrant a sequel. I don't want to wait another 18 years for part IV.  :bomb: 

 
Guess I'll go ahead and buy this just for the steelbook. If I can't return the game by itself then I'll trade in my Kickstarter copy that DIDN'T COME WITH A STEELBOOK EVEN THOUGH I PAID THREE TIMES THIS PRICE.

thank you for subsidizing the sale price for the rest of us, much appreciated.

Based off of the shitty cheap slipcover they gave KS copies, I've written off any hope of that KS CE being any good.

No idea what the KS slipcover, CE or LRG edition look like but I picked up my copy from BB today and it's a really nice steelbook. I'ma use that to justify spending $35 on a game that will be sub $10 by the time I get around to playing it

You should go to the police and turn in the guy who put a gun to your head to pay 3 times the price to Kickstarter.

 
Shenmue 3 would not have happened if we Kickstartes didn't back the game in the first place. Sure it sucks that we're getting the short end of the stick with the recent BF drop in price, and the steelbook that only happened because it's what Bestbuy does to entice sales. I'm just happy that the game got made at all. I will admit that the KS slipcover is lame and my physical copy will likely stay sealed since I also backed a digital copy. That being said I'm tempted to pick up a steelbook for collecting.
 
Wow so I bought a copy of this on BBY.com a few days ago for the SB and chat won't PM the price... they're saying I can return it re-buy it on BF for that price, even though it's that price on the website right now. Dumb.

Seen it streamed on twitch, looks like a $19.99 with GCU game to me.

Shenmue is definitely an acquired taste. I bought the Shenmue Collection last year and Shenmue 1, while I can appreciate the influence it had on games like the Yakuza series, is one of the most boring games I've ever played. The game expects you to waste time doing side activities, which aren't very engaging for very long, between story beats since you can't advance time. They did add a time skip feature to Shenmue 2 so I might give that a try someday if I can ever force myself to finish the first game.

 
Love the game so far. Totally worth it if you’re remotely into the series. The steelbook is pretty sweet too.

Did you find some sailors?

 
So my kickstarter was supposed to include a toy capsule I never got, anyone know why? Who I should contact? I’m going to get this steel book either way.. yes KS team ripped us off , we helped this happen at least reward us..

The first game is very short, and once you get a job on the docks the pace quickens and becomes less tedious and boring. Keep at it, and eventually you'll enter a massive brawl fight, and its a good time.

This was mentioned already on the KS page, our rewards are coming at a future date. Hold tight just a bit longer, you won't have to pay any extra shipping. Rewards shipping separately from the game is fairly common when it comes to KS, nothing different here.

I already bought all the versions of the game, but I want the steel book as well.  Maybe they will still be available after the price eventually drops.

 
If anyone else wanted to get the steelbook and return the game, I wasn't able to. (Or I was, but the original price of the steelbook was taken out of the refund.)

I'm just gonna trade it in since it'll get me $25 with GCU.

You do realize BB considers this part of Black Friday, and they don’t do any price matching for that.

I mean sure, why doesn’t everyone buy all their items a week early and then just ask for BF price matches. I’m sure all stores love that idea.

I'm upset. Lesson learned on supporting kick starter game's. My fault won't make the same mistake.

I need to be cheaper.

I understand it's frustrating but I mean, we helped make the game exist for our own sake, not because we felt bad for others. I have like 4 copies of Shenmue 3 and I put 300 bucks into my original contribution but I did that because I wanted the game to exist.

Thanks a lot. Didnt know it was from a Kickstarter project.

How is this game?

Exactly. People need to realize the game might not exist if not for the kickstarter.

Figured it was worth a shot- I know stores don't PM BF prices but it's not BF yet and they're calling it a pre-BF sale so figured it was worth a shot to save me a trip. But the reason why I called them dumb was because the rep said the price was only good on BF (as in the day of) even though the website was showing the sale price already active. Not sure he was seeing the same thing as I was on the website.
