What if it ends up beinggood?
>>339266049
It literally cant
What if a giant dinosaur comes to life and shoves its dick up your anus?
>>339266110
Why?
>>339266049
At this point who fucking cares? Even if it was good, people should pirate the shit out of it to forego giving conman money.
>>339266049
kek
>>339266203
But if it ends up being good, would that not mean that Inafune is NOT a con man?
>>339266373
Not in the slightest. Are you foolish?
It's not impossible for a conman to accidentally make something good.
>>339266373
Well if you paid five dollars at a bar to get a beer and it took three months for the bartender to come back with it, you're not going to care if it taste good.
>>339266049
Literally not buying do to the developers con
Gomenasai
I probably would have gotten it because the price for what you get on ps4 seems like a good deal
Even if the game itself is decent, the whole debacle with the delays, marketing, and PR will be what the game is remembered for.
>>339266594
>accidentally
That would require him to be deliberately trying to make something bad. Even he's not retarded enough to do that.
And it's not a case of simply not caring how it ends up either. Otherwise the game wouldn't be delayed to hell to begin with.
In any case, the whole "con man" argument is bogus. Nobody who has worked so many years in the industry and has, for better or for worse, a franchise as successful as Mega Man on his back (whether he created it or not, he's the one who made the franchise successful) would pull off something like that just to get some easy money. It would be professional suicide.

Not necessarily. He could just not be trying at all.
>>339267247
Read the rest of my post.
>>339266373
it's not going to end up being good, this shit looks awful.
the main gimmick about it being shoot then dash and chain your dashes already limits how you're going to approach enemies with your piercing propertied lemons to just running up shooting and dashing to avoid damage.
they already made a similar game called azure striker gunvolt which has a shoot enemy three times to inflict max damage mechanic and it eventually just boiled down to doing the same damn thing over and over again.
if the gameplay is as advertised you could just play gunvolt, the only difference being spritework as opposed to embarrassingly bad low poly.
>>339267092
>It would be professional suicide.
I think he's already passed that point.
But we've seen the gameplay and it's pretty bad.
>>339267281
Not interested.
>>339266049
Remember TF2 and how /v/ shat all over for its cartoony style before release? These days most dont. Most just play it and enjoyed it a whole lot.
Basically what im going at is if its good /v/ will pretend it was always right, say its good and just play it.
>>339267092
>it's not like asking for donations TWICE, delaying it 7 times and financing a tv show from even more donations before the game even came out would hurt his reputation though
>>339267419
No point in arguing then.
>>339267294
Have you forgotten that, unlike Gunvolt, you have boss abilities in this game? You don't have to limit yourself to the buster (or whatever Beck's main weapon is called).
>>339267573
>it's not like asking for donations TWICE
Because no Kickstarter ever did that, right?
>delaying it 7 times
3.
>and financing a tv show from even more donations
It wasn't financed by him and it wasn't from donations either.
>>339267781
MN9 backer detected.
>>339266143
Backers have playable builds, they are boring
>>339268089
This, I didn't even finish the demo because the stage design was hallways with bad enemy placement, bad combat mechanics, bad boss battles.
Nothing about the gameplay is fun, it's purely frustration.
>>339267781
You didn't back MN9...right?
>>339268089
>>339268258
I have downloaded the full game leaked by ProtoFaggot before he took the links down and played through the whole thing.
I can perfectly understand how the demo may be frustrating, but the transformations actually make the game a whole lot more enjoyable, adding some actual strategy. Also, many of the other stages are way better in terms of enemy placement and level design.
>>339266049
there are demo arounds, they aren't good, the dash into enemy gimmick is probably one of the most awful idea ever
>>339267781
>You don't have to limit yourself to the buster
You still have to dash into things to kill them.
>>339269453
Of course, being forced to play without transformations in the demo means you can't actually make a full decision, so I'm still reserving judgement.
Of course this still doesn't really excuse the fundamental P-shooter play being shit.
shantae is cute. CUTE.
>>339266049
this shit didn't come out yet? wasn't that like 3 years ago?
>>339269453
Do the other weapons have unlimited energy? Because I pretty much never ever used special weapons outside of boss fights or specific enemies in any megaman or megaman x game I have ever played, and I still have more fun with those than I did with the MN9 demo.
>>339266049
Not much. If it's bad or mediocre Inafune will sink deeper.
>>339266049
>everything we've seen points to the game being mediocre at best
>latest trailer hypes how YOU CAN FUCKING DASH IN A VIDEO GAME IN 2016
>"but guys what if it's good?"
>>339269601
Is it THAT bad though? It's actually more dynamic than just having to shoot them.
In Mega Man X, for instance, some enemies require you to stop and keep shooting until it dies (like the big blue enemy in the intro stage). It stalls the action, even if for just a little bit.
The dash mechanic in MN9 helps alleviate his a bit. You can keep moving AND kill enemies at the same time.
>>339269730
Trust me, the transformations make the game a whole lot better.
>>339269869
It started development around september 2013. It isn't that long of a development period, the only difference is that we've known about it since the beginning while most games are unveiled after a while in development.
>>339269924
They're limited too, but it isn't as restrictive as in Mega Man. They replenish energy over time (as long as you have them selected), and absorbing enemies also restores energy. Most of them waste much more energy than in Mega Man though. Also, I've found that they're very useful, even if No. 7's form (the sword) can be compared a bit with MM2's Metal Blade, as in it wastes very little energy and kills most enemies with few attacks. Being short ranged though, it's more restrictive.
>>339266049
It looks boring and jerky.
It looks like a cheap fan made megaman game made on an older unity engine version.
It looks terrible, the game feels looks unpolished and all over the place.
It looks cheap and it feels cheap.
It looks like it was made by a guy who doesn't know how to make games
>>339266049
It literally looks like a Unity tech demo that took 2 weeks to make.
>>339270317
3 years for a Megan clone is long. Even the nes games didn't take that long and that was in assembly. This is in unity where everything is drag and drop
>>339270317
That does sound a lot better than the special weapons of old, but I'm still not sure if it would really be enough to save the game for me. I'm still going to give it a chance, but I was literally disgusted with the demo.
>>339266049
no, the game plays like a spazzy collage, forcing you to dosh for EVERYTHING, bosses are frustrating, forcing you to deal a certian amount of damage , and then you must dash into them or they RECOVER THE DAMAGE YOU DEALT TO THEM. its lazy and frustrating, especially since they have no set pattern, and guys like mighty number 1 its literally a tossup of what he will do.
Anyone got the 2014 and 2016 comparison image? I keep forgetting to save it.
>>339270317
>The dash mechanic in MN9 helps alleviate his a bit. You can keep moving AND kill enemies at the same time.
This doesn't work like you'd hope when you're limited to just the pea shooter, a row of enemies will absorb the fire and only the front will be stunned so you can dash through them to absorb their Xel.
Unless you have the power-up that gives you piercing fire, this can really impede the flow of the game. Maybe the transformations actually help with this.
It's a bad news when you heard that is a gimmicky Mega Man-like platformer
>>339269601
You can kill them without dashing it just takes forever. The combo system is fucked anyway and shouldn't be a thing from the demo I played there's moments where enemy placement stops you from getting 100% on each enemy you dash through.
>>339271670
Second screenshot on the left is the only one that looks better than the 2014 counterpart.
>>339270317
>Is it THAT bad though? It's actually more dynamic than just having to shoot them.
no its frustrating, and boring, you dont even actually have to dash into them, just dash near or past them and it counts, it requires no skill whatsoever, shoot until they change color, then dash by, thats it.
also, only ability worth shit is the blade, as it can deflect almost all projectiles in the game.
>>339271978
so you like pizza then?
>>339271632
>This doesn't work like you'd hope when you're limited to just the pea shooter
As I said, you are NOT limited to a pea shooter in the full game.
oh doy daddeh (Inafune) im gon blast to da EXTWEEEME@@
>>339271670
I don't understand, the May ones look better. Especially the second.
The only debatable one is the explosion. I think both look like different types of shit though, the heatwaves from the left are awful.
>>339272307
The sept build is actually better in term of lighting and effects
>>339271670
>that corn bullets on the right
>>339272067
The screenshot I'm talking about doesn't even have an explosion, that's the 3rd one. 2nd one is the one with the 2 on the wall.
>>339270317
>You can keep moving AND kill enemies at the same time.
On paper yes, but in practice it's actually worse. Put three enemies in a straight line, in Mega Man you can just shoot them. Now you got to shoot the first one until you can dash into him, dash into then shoot the second and so forth otherwise you gimp yourself on the upgrade from the dash.
That ends up taking longer overall.
>>339273786
Usually if there are three enemies all together there is usually an enemy that lets you absorb the pierce powerup to take care of all three of them at once.
