The rest of the Kickstarter goals used as DLCs?

[高野和泉]

If we can get all the game system funded for S3. Would everyone be willing to buy/encourage the rest of the Mini game as Dlc packages and the Magic maze as future dlc update to extend or complete the "Full Package" vision? Ofc assuming S3 rake in the sales @ launch and then Suzuki uses the profit margins to develop the other prevs unfunded goals as DLcs. I think he can get away with it since most triple-A games nowadays don't even have all full-add ons(Definitive) version until many years later after the initial launch.

I'm not really a fan of Dlc in general, I would be open to a definitive edition if Shenmue 3 sells well enough and Suzuki still want to implement most features in a complete package and releases in 2020 for example.

 

[Kodama]

Not only would I be willing to pay for DLC for added features, but I'd be willing to finish the whole series this way. Why put us through the pain of waiting for Shenmue 4 and 5 to be released when we're all 60 years old when they could just keep expanding the story using Shenmue 3 as a launch pad? I'd gladly throw tons of money at them for each update...

I would do this for Shenmue only. They have mentioned that they are open to the idea of Shenmue III having DLC in the past.
I would think that with both the Kickstarter smash success that Shenmue III was, as well as how good Shenmue I & II seem to be doing in preorders, that Shenmue IV will be able to get a green light more naturally, either through SEGA directly, or with the current set up of YS Net going through with a different publisher.

I at least hope the phone card will be purchasable as DLC. You could only get it for a short period of time during the original Kickstarter, and its such a substantial piece of content to be locked behind the Kickstarter forever.

 

[spud1897]

I'd be happy to go for some DLC. Maybe the story of Guizhang coming to catch up could be One?

The phonecard as a dlc is a good idea, though I have the impression it might be in the game already and bought with Ryos hard earned cash.

What DLC would people like to see?

 

[Vivi-gamer]

Before I continue I will say I am notoriously stubborn in regards to DLC, I find myself now holding out on new releases to buy the 'Game of the Year' Edition 6months-1year later, I just hate the Idea of having an incomplete experience.

With that said, it makes me a little apprehensive in regards to Shenmue III, we're putting a lot of money into this guys and I don't want to look back at my KickStarter Edition as inferior in a year or so time due to a Definitive Edition. However, if they do release substantial DLC which is story related and more than just costumes and extras... I will want that Definitive Edition

Good point. Also there was another reward with a move scroll or whatever, would suck to not have access to that...

 

[punkmanced]

^ Agreed, the phone card should absolutely become available as paid DLC.
...And this is coming from someone who already got the damn thing during the KS campaign.

 

[iyapol]

I like the idea of DLC, especially if it can help with any future releases. I backed at a tier where I get the phone card, but I'm going to be missing out on the jacket skin and a backer exclusive move scroll which I would definitely buy as DLC.

 

[Brian SII DC vs Xbox]

I haven't bought much DLC for many games, but I would for Shenmue as there seems to be plenty of content that can been used as DLC.

 

[24Nathan]

Slightly off topic: I would have definitely bought Heel Sweep and Monkey Roll Drop as DLC if Shenmue II had them. Grr...

 

[Jann Lee]

The Shenmue 3 Kickstarter faqs page says that they can't add anymore stretch goals after the game releases. I really wanted every stretch goal to make into the game especially the magic maze.

 

[Telekill]

Not only would I be willing to pay for DLC for added features, but I'd be willing to finish the whole series this way.

I would not be comfortable doing that. I would want Shenmue IV and if needed Shenmue V to release on disc as actual chapters; not DLC. I don't know... it just seems like it would cheapen it. Granted, if it were the only way to complete the story, then by all means... I'm fine moving forward with that.

As someone who will be getting the phone card from my Kickstarter backing, I would be more than happy to record the footage and put it up on Youtube or elsewhere for you guys to all download. I would imagine it would be video and not interactive so that would work just fine.

I can agree with that...

DLC as whole chunks of game like an expansion don't appear to sell very well.

Its why Rockstar didn't do any for GTAV despite it selling by the lorry load (like GTA4's episodes from liberty city).

So for DLC it would have to be cosmetic items, moves, capsule toys, arcade games and possibly some form additional enemies if there is like a battle arena. The problem with Shenmue is although its a free exploration type game you often are locked to locations so its difficult to add it in as an additional purchase.

Yakuza 6 only had some character cards for the battle manager mini game and some cosmetic items as way of reference.

 

[Oregon Pacifist]

I think the only things that should be DLC would be cosmetic things and side quests (like playing as Guizhang in between the events of then end of Shenmue 1 but before Shenmue 4 assuming he won't be in part 3).
