Never heard of bloodstained =/
@Idsynchrono_24 The Saturn and Sega were beasts at the time. I had one too.
People who didn't back the campaign will buy it if it gets even decent reviews because of the kickstarter backing hype.
That is too cute.
Yeah, it's like I said, it's a very cult title, in a genre that most people don't gravitate to, on a system that sold like 10 million. I'm not surprised that the majority of gamers prior to E3 had never heard of it. It's similar to Arcade Fire winning AotY at the Grammy's and all of a sudden Twitter was abuzz with tweets asking "Who the **** are The Suburbs?" Still, practically every modern game on the market owes something to Shenmue in the way that it handled cinematic gameplay (read: QTEs) and pushed the boundaries for unprecedented production values (it was, at time of release, the most costly to develop in the world). It would go on to pave the road for something like the GTAs of the industry. Hell, the Dreamcast as a console was WAY ahead of its time. It was the first console to actually offer functional online gameplay and DLC, and even kb/m support. Sega's VMU was like a prototypical/primitive Wii U Gamepad. Jet Set Radio was the first game to actually use cel-shading. Seaman had voice recognition software. As a console, it was just bananas at the time.
