This isn't Big Rigs or anything. I feel you're going to be disappointed if you buy it to see how "awful" it is. So far it just seems to be a really average game.

I know. Being facetious more or less.

I have to ask, do the other Mega Man games require you to dash into EVERY enemy? That just seems...like a strange design choice.

RIP Kickstarting Video Games after this.....like why would anybody ever back a game after this?

Because there are a bunch of really good games that have come out or that are in the works that wouldn't have existed without Kickstarter. MN9 the game may be meh but if the Kickstarter had failed, Bloodstained and Shenmue 3 probably wouldn't exist.

So uhm, this twitch stream where you are watching them play the game just as it launched. Then the stream is delayed and then basically them trying to excuse all the game's development hell and shortcomings and saying the reviews are too harsh.

Edit: THE NEOGAFS

REPRESENT!

FOUR MILLION DOLLAS!!!

What do you want them to do? Commit seppuku live on stream? :p

I paid good money for this Dynex!
You know, I honestly never could have imagined when I backed the game almost 3 years ago that when it came out, I wouldn't even be excited to play it.

I mean, I still want to believe this is a good game -- the gameplay looks like something I'd like. But everything around it has just been such a buzzkill.


Maybe this weekend.

I expected them to talk about the actual development experience or vaguely elude to it, that sort of thing, rather than directly acknowledge the bad impressions on stream.

Inafune just shot himself in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase MN9 for any system, nor will they purchase any of Inafune's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Inafune has alienated an entire market with this move.

Inafune, publicly apologize and cancel MN9 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Honestly from what the stream is outputting. The sound design sounds like the strongest part of this game. Kind of excited for that actually.

We'll see once I'm playing it though.

With the games overall quality that's not much, but it sounds good, probably just nostalgia though. Very arcade like sounds.

Maybe because many of us Kickstarted other games and were rewarded for it? Or inversely had worse happen (so Godus isn't ever going to be "complete" huh?) It's as much doomed as pre-ordering is, and look at where that is.

RIP Keiji Inafune on Kickstarter though!

Everyone is going to keep asking, but PSN codes won't work until your region's store updates.

It's in Sony's hands, not the devs.

...did he? I could hardly hear the other guy speak? Did he even address them?

I feel like he's about to but they've kind of been talking about other stuff. They seem keen on eventually getting to it though. To be frank, they didn't have to do this stream. They could have hid in a bunker with their tails between their legs. Answering questions now is too late but better too late than never. If we had more of these streams with a look at development over time (just better communication in general) I think things would have gone better.

Sadly I kinda wanna play this.

However, I know I'll regret the purchase.

At least I didn't back it. I feel horrible for those that did, honestly. I was close to donating myself but I was too nervous to pull the trigger.

Here's hoping stuff starts working at midnight PST. I hope I don't have to wait a week for them to generate new PSN codes that work.
