They bloody better set up a paypal! I want to back this, but my bank will charge me a fortune as it's overseas if I do. I know I'm not the only one in this situation too.

You'd think Kickstarter by now would be progressive enough to include this as a payment feature for all projects.

They all go under the same umbrella, so it doesn't really matter which one, but they've deliberately kept the cost hard to find. A mate of mine said he ordered something for £40 and he got a £32 overseas charge!

Well, the portuguese subtitles were the one thing I was really excited for 'n' now we got it. The KS is a sucess as far as I'm concerned. Now the ultimate irony would be Shenmue 3 running over Bloodstained's record. I'd kill to see that.

You see, that's what I thought it should be too. I'm wondering if my friend got charged for shipping on top of that which caused the extra fee and not the bank charge.

This should be easy, but my banks website is as cryptic as a politician.

With the recent update talking about Google credit, it seems as though they're avoiding PayPal now.

Probably because Paypal has a history of holding people's money for no good reason. Maybe theres something about doing it in their user agreements.

Anyway that painting he did basically looks like he did way too much LSD.

Sorry for the double-post... But Shenmue III has now earned more money than f***ing Bloodstained! Finally, f*** all the nay-sayers who have bitched and moaned over how much better that KS campaign was handled and bla, bla, bla, bla, f*** you!


And it's gonna reach the Kickstarter record within the next few hours.

Look we've got no game so far and its still all up in the air . You can go on about so called record amounts and all that, but to me a game like Shenmue needs some $20 or 30 million dollars . So far we haven't even got conformation that they'll be a retail version :(
