While I know there was a shitstorm surrounding the game with bad trailers and PR and shit, and all the bugs in the console ports, I don't get why people say it's a genuinely bad game, speaking purely about the game itself and not all the drama surrounding it. It's not amazing, but it's not any worse than the average Mega Man game. It's around the same level of quality as games like Mega Man 5 or Mega Man X3.

I was really offput by how MML3 looked, that and Mega Man Universe. I wasn't sad they got cancelled but it confirmed my fears that Capcom really wanted to kill it's old IP's.

That Darkstalkers aren't dead thing hurt me.

>>382065726
>but it's not any worse than the average Mega Man game.

The average MM game is an uninspired sequel, so yeah, that's nothing special. It was promised to be THE RETURN OF MEGA MAN BY THE CREATOR WHO HAS THROWN OFF THE SHACKLES OF CORPORATE OPPRESSION WHO WON'T LET HIM PURSUE HIS ARTISTIC VISION!

We expected another Mega Man 9 at least.

>>382065853

>Inafune neither designed nor created either of these characters

>>382062950

It wasn't a bad game but Inafune did everything that you could possibly do wrong all the way from day 0 to release date, a PR nightmare.

>>382066217
>it wasn't a bad game
Did we play the same fucking game?

>>382066278

It's a solid game man. Take off those nostalgia classes.

>>382066278

It wasn't a bad game at all, an average MM game. The problem here is that everything that was promised never came to light so it missed a fuckton of features.

>>382066626

As with every MM game since MM4, well Command Mission 2 was ok.

>>382062950
We weren't.
At first, it was just normal /v/ behavior, some were actually exited but cautiously because of the concept art.
Then, they released ugly screenshots and people just confirmed it will indeed look and play like shit.

>>382066626

Nah. Don't have to mash dash nonstop just because it's there. Worked well playing it like MMZ and on PC there were enough resources to avoid performance problems.

>>382066743
Nigger was I comparing MN9 to Mega Man at any point?
MN9 is an objectively bad game. I have no nostalgia for Mega Man.

>>382066132
He kind of half designed classic Mega Man. Akira Kitamura made the 8-bit sprite you see in Mega Man 1 for the NES, and Inafune expanded on that basic look when he did the official artwork for the cover and promotional material. I know it gets annoying hearing people say Inafune is the sole creator of the character, but let's not deprive him of shit he did do.

>>382066937
Can we have another "Edit Beck's face onto other characters"? Does anyone have the face template?

I was calling it shit right after the first backer demo came out early on. What gets me is there was a ton of people who were offering feedback on how to make it play better, and not only did they ignore it but they actually made it worse.

Its sad, since I think MN9 could have been great with some tweaks to the controls and layout. As-is, its a goddamn mess.

>>382065308

That's Astro Boy you fucks.

Beck's design is garbage. MM has a great, simple, iconic design. Beck is a mass of useless shit. And he looks like a chipmunk with giant hands like some ape. Plus he's still too derivative of MM, meaning he's just "Chinese MM knockoff".

unfortunately the downgrade and weird as kickstarter shit led to its extreme hated status

>>382066538
Astro Boy, Mega Man, X, and Beck.

The Mega Man series has several "Mega Mans", but they're all different characters from different eras (or in two cases, also a different timeline).

X is the "Mega Man" from the Mega Man X games, and is technically the younger brother of the original Mega Man. He was sealed away for 100 years. Although normies often call him Mega Man, he is a different character (as are some of the others who actually are called Mega Man).

>>382062950
I never had big hopes for it and I'm a Megaman fan.

Fucking capcom.

Wait so let me get this straight, MN9 was for all intents and purposes an average Mega Man game and people are upset? Buying it right now.

>>382067596
When has the level design on MM EVER been good besides X?

>>382067534
People are mostly upset because of horrible PR shit. The game itself is... meh. Not great, but not terrible. It might be better if not for everything being built around the dash mechanic, but it's still middle of the road, at the very least. It's also frustratingly difficult.

If you really are planning on getting this mediocrity, do yourself a favor and buy it on PC. The console ports are very bad ports.

>>382067534
No, to me a MM game at the very least plays well. MN9 is a hodge-podge of various ideas and styles from other Mega Man games that do not gel well with the level design.

When the game does something new (Like dashing into enemies to get powerups), it is more annoying then anything else and turns enemies into bullet sponges because they want you to use that mechanic (As well as making bosses tedious).

The other problem is the stages are designed in a way that is closer to the X series, many times feeling like wall hugging and jumping should be there. Problem is, Beck plays more like the classic MM and does not have those abilities.

Trust me when I say it plays like garbage and isn't very good.

>>382067763
>When has the level design on MM EVER been good besides X?

I enjoyed the game EXCEPT for the last section of the game when it got too trial and error.

Other than that it was a fun little platformer

>BUT 4CHAN/INTERNET SAID IT'S SHIT

You really think I care? People also hated Nights of Azure and I'm hyped for the sequel.

>>382067868
>instead of the actual alpha footage.
What was it like?

I'm one of the few people on the planet that didn't hate this game, but I was disappointed that it's not as good as I was hoping it'd be. They showed off designs for Beck transforming into different objects and vehicles and shit like that, but none of that is in the final game.

>>382063371
>people still blame some random bitch for Inafune's incompetence

Dina confirmed for why KAIO was cancelled, tell your friends.

>>382067998
It's actually just an engine test with pre-existing assets. But it still looks better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UXDiQrgI6M

>>382067416
They never promised that. Even the first real footage looked like shit, so to say it was "downgraded" is pretty disingenuous. The game is still visually horrendous and could have and should have looked much better, but you were never going to get anything like that drawing and you were stupid for expecting it.

>>382068127

Kaio is probably the bigger screw up, as that was a publisher's money they squandered.

At least 3 massive bombs and cancelled games under Comcept's belt. The rest were forgettable. Only Soul Sacrifice sold well and was well received.

>>382067416

Stunning. Looks better than MN9 did at least.

misleading and basically false advertising kickstarter

>>382067416
Honestly, I never expected 2D at all. Although I was hoping for something closet to what >>382068184 posted.

With that said, it would not surprise me if the games were downgraded due to having to run on consoles + portables. With how shit the console versions run, I am legit curious how badly the 3DS/Vita version will look and play when they come out (which are supposedly still in development).

>>382067371
Yeah, I never really was fond of Beck's final design but figured that if the game was good then it might be worth it. But the mishandling of the Kickstarter really turned me off from it.

So much for Inafune's dream project.

Fucking Shinji Mikami wanted nothing to do with RE4 but actually finished it before he left the company.

>>382069112

>KI: That's absolutely right. So I told Capcom that I'm leaving to start my own company, while still contracting with them, continuing with titles already underway and following through with their plans. If that was acceptable, I wouldn't be able to work with any other publishers, but I'd have been able to finish what I'd started. However, that wasn't possible. I was told, "That won't be necessary."

Sounds like Inafune-san wanted to make his own Clover studios.

>>382069112

>KI: Even when I submitted my letter of resignation, nobody contacted me about it. (laughs) There should've been a, "Hey Inafune, do you have some time?" or, "What do you mean by this? I want to hear it straight from you." Nothing. Zero.

>4G: ...You've got to be kidding.

>KI: Well of course, my actual staff asked me not to quit, but you would think that someone from management would want to at least try and stop someone with such skills from leaving, or even ask about it.

>>382069504
This makes absolutely no sense. Those games had Capcom involved and this game was done by an entirely different group of people.

MM9-10 was Capcom + Inti-Creates.

We thought, naively, that Comcept + Inti-Creates would have the same result.

But Inti can't do 3D that well, and some of the quality of MM9-10 was probably the Cpacom staff, like director Hayato Tsuru.

>>382070282
>Inti can't do 3D that well
And they shat the bed again with Bloodstained. I hope they stop picking up projects with Unreal Engine, Mighty Gunvolt Burst was miles better than MN9 and that was just Inti doing its thing.

I don't know why they didn't voice any problems with it. Were they afraid comcept would hire another studio?

Inti has done 3D before and they looked okay. "Gon: Baku Baku Baku Baku Adventure" was a 3DS game, and they really should have used that engine for MN9 instead of Unreal.

(btw, if anyone has Citra could tehy take some HD screenshots of this game? Everyting on google is low resolution)

>>382070613
At least for Bloodstained IGA hired some other developers to fix what Inti messed up. Inafune might have been well served to do that if he hadn't spent so much money on ports.

>>382067416
It's worse that they got rid of the core mechanic of upgrading yourself with defeated enemies more than anything. After they got 1 mil they were just like "yeah whoops that thing you paid us for isn't happening, LOL".

I've hated Inafune for years. I did contribute to MN9, 40 dollars, but I was suckered into it and I received exactly NONE of my backer bonuses. No game key, even. No communication. A fucking waste of four meals.

Ever since he left Capcom to work on Legends 3 on their own and left his own fucking team all on their own and unable to say anything because he was senior staff I hated him.

He kept wanting to do weird shit like redesigning Trigger to look more like an alien, to make him look more like Mega Man.EXE, to add a Zero... He didn't want to make the game for Trigger. He wanted to make it for Barrett, and he wanted to make Barrett for his Zero fetish.

Fuck him, fuck MN9, and fuck Red Ash.

Have you seen the Red Ash anime? It's fucking awful.

I already was well used to Inafune's circus when L3 was announced and I didn't follow it due to lack of interest, are all of these actually true? Because holy shit, "add a Zero" I'd have expected since he's an one trick pony, but "redesign him to be an alien" or like EXE?
