I feel bad for you guys.
My Shovel Knight backer code was sent out 15 hours before the game went live on the eShop for the public and I honestly felt that was a bit late, considering reviewers had been playing the final game for at least a week prior (though considering how open the team had been throughout the game's development, it was quite easy to brush off). The fact that a lot of people don't have their codes yet on release day is a further testament to just how horrible this entire situation has been.

Your exact words:
So I'm sure you can forgive me of accusing you of lying and talking shit. You didn't specify what you meant.
I don't see why you're taking the other poster's comment about Dreamcast graphics so literally. Shenmue III already looks better than a Dreamcast game, and has shown significant visual improvement since the reveal last June.
As for gameplay and trailers, no, of course not. The game has only been in development for 10 months and isn't planned to release for another 18. We know a playable build exists so far, but they have no intention of showing gameplay just yet, and wish to wait until the game is more polished to do so. It's a very reasonable position to have. The fans got their new screens/video tease in February, and backers have been kept in the loop with development via the monthly Kickstarter updates. The developers are wise enough to keep their heads down and keep working instead of making demos and trailers that eat up time and resources.
When they're ready to show the game again, they'll show it.

What a nightmare. Incoming GAF fail of the year? I thought Federation Force had it in the bag!
I'm also in the code not valid group. I emailed Comcept before I read this thread. I wonder if they forgot to tell Sony these codes need to be active before release. I know it's possible to do that on PSN, since I've gotten preorder codes from Amazon that activate before the game is out on the store. They just say "This content will be available on x"
It depends from case to case, often codes give the message "not valid" is Sony didn't flip the switch yet, other times you can redeem them before the official release. The code will work eventually when the game will be released.

Same. None of my PS4 download codes work. It gives me the "incorrect or no longer valid" error.
The XB1 codes I received *do* work though. I just redeemed them all with no trouble.
Who knows what that has in store for us - who knows, after all the backslash it will become goty and we all will eat crow^^
Well I guess it depends on how much the expectations matter, because the expectations for MN9 were through the roof, but from the moment everyone saw Federation Force most people hated it. MN9 definitely had the larger fall from grace, so I'd say it's a way bigger failure.
FF looks like it'll actually be fun.

Federation force isn't even out yet, so it has the benefit of the doubt

For what it's worth, Mighty No. 9 has been getting blasted for months, and people said the same thing (benefit of the doubt).
No one's PSN code is working because PSN hasn't updated.
They said in the update that the PSN codes wouldn't work until the store updates.
The physical edition offers cross-buy too? Is there a code included or something?

We're at the mercy of Grace Chen time? Fuuuuuuck.
Yeah everything but PSN works and they would get shit if they waited until it was for sale before sending codes out.

Maybe Inafune can interest you all in a tell-all book about the making of this game?
Only $35. $50 for the t-shirt.

Are you serious? There are way more quality Megaman games than Sonic games. Like A TON more; it's not even remotely close.

Since when is MN9 considered a Mega-Man game?
Not to mention even though MN9 isn't great it's still a better game then Sonic Boom.

What a bummer. I was really hoping this would be able to scratch my megaman itch. I guess Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 will have to do. II could play the legacy collection again. Even though they want to stay true to the originals but would it be that hard for them to fix the framerate and the flicker in the rereleased megaman collection. Seriously its awful.

These scores...
At this point I just feel nothing about them. I remember backing this and thinking, "It's a basic megaman clone. What could go wrong?"
At this point I just want to play my backer copy and get it over with, man.
One's a dead series that went out on several good notes, and the other is a zombie.

Honestly, since i only lost $15 on this I'm not sure if i'm even going to play it. How do you screw up a three million dollar megaman clone?

I still can't get over how shitty the visuals are. The beta they released around PAX in 2014 (?) looked way better...
Could they just not be arsed to make different levels of assets, so they simply targeted the lowest spec platform (3DS) and developed the whole game with that as the base?

Yeah, no. MMX7/8 are nowhere near the gaming atrocities that are Sonic 06 and Boom. They're not even technical messes. They're weak games but are totally functional and the only reason they're so divisive is because the franchise in general has a high bar. Which cannot be said for Sonic.

Wait I had a lot of fun with MM8. Other than some weird music and sound effect hitches it was a nice looking, fun game.
