I know that I'm talking about all the people burned by backing this game and them getting burned on it.

If Re:Core is any good, he'll be hanging on by a thread.
Kickstarters are off-limits though.

Shenmue doesn't need PR when people will do it for them for free.

Yikes, I wasn't expecting scores to be so low. I wonder what happened?
He is to me, I'll never trust him again. If he releases something great, I might play it, but I won't believe in his "promises" anymore.
When he started talking about Shenmue 4, you knew where the guy's head was at, and it's not in the game at hand.
Seriously...with a team that's done it before, many times.

I think they can easily afford their next game on their own.

It seems to me that this game was kickstarted by people on a nostalgia trip, but they ended up making what feels like a bad kids game for 10-year-olds. Have no idea what they were thinking.

Perhaps say that instead of a vague "4 million dollars" and no other context in a thread about the game's quality.
But they already did another one! Red Ash.
...
Anybody here looking forward to Red Ash now?

Reviews weren't as savage as expected... I'm still looking forward to playing the game, I enjoyed the PC "beta" released last year, and do want to play more. Pity that any chance of a decent new Mega Man styled series is probably dead in the water now, I'd be somewhat surprised if this gets a sequel.

Perhaps don't assume the intention of my post and ask what I mean.

They've been making huge expansions on Shovel Knight for free already. Another crowdfund for their next game could be needed depending on how long development takes.

Yu was able to recover from that.
The game will be great.
This is still the first thing I think about when Shenmue 3 is mentioned.

This made me realise the game is coming out tomorrow but backers haven't even received their game codes yet. wtf?

I would like to hear some GAF impressions, I don't really trust reviewers with a game like this.
Ayy lmao!
Hopefully this is a lesson learned for people who want to throw money at their screen.
At least Iga is making a true "Igavania" with Bloodstained (judging from the demo videos), and not the bastardization of Mega Man Inafune came up with for MN9.
Those are stretch goals from the kickstarter.

Not that I can speak from total experience but from what I've heard and the ones I've been part of, good communication is always one of the best signs for a kickstarter probably being successful.(For those wondering about Shenmue/Bloodstained)

If the game's really barely changed from the "beta" releases then GAF majority opinion seems to be generally "it's meh".

Game looks average
5/6 out of 10 is a pretty average score
Sounds about right
I'm not as angry about the 4 million dollars, but it's a bit disappointing how it turned out.
Maybe it'll really be like Mega Man and the team will go up and beyond for MN9-2, but good luck getting that project funded ;D

Mega Man was a fine series. Let it rest in piece and ward off any spirits of the successor kind.
It's not even the concept art, look at this demo video released by Inti Creates during the Kickstarter. It took them seven days to complete.I know it was concept art, but god damn.
I wish this game had turned out well.
I have a feeling Inti Creates wanted to stick close to the gameplay present in the above .gif, but Inafune wanted to mix things about (with the dashing, score system, etc.), hence the monstrosity we received. Of course we'll likely never know exactly what went wrong with MN9...

Yes, they were stretch goals, but it's still making free content solely on money from game sales and amiibo. At some point they'll make their next game and they'll need more of a cushion than this can get them.
It'll sure be interesting to see the rest of the documentary!

How does this look twice as good as the final product
they really ruined this game by making it for every platform in existence
With kickstarter, it's really 50/50. Though i agree that this will hopefully make people wary that you shouldn't put all your trust into even the most well known developers. This will be a blow to Inafunes credibility.
