It sucks. It truly sucks.
At first I thought "hey, this may be just another hate wave, these professional reviews don't mean a thing". But no. The game is horrible in many, many ways.
>Level design
>Enemy (their patterns, not the art)
>Object placement in general, ladders, platforms, pits, checkpoints
>Weapons are literally useless, even on bosses
>English dub is one of the worst I've seen in a couple years
>Inconsistent performance (lots of random frame drops)
>Forgettable music
>Presentation. It looks like some fan game made at home with a team of two people
>Clunky menus on PC, lots of useless functions and some don't even work properly (like setting lower resolutions)
>Bugs. But that was expected
In the end, this guy spent $4m on fucking nothing. Delayed because he had to set up online? Fuck you.
The hate for MN9 is dumb. Evil, even. To be honest, people are being mean, tearing into it for no reason. Everyone needs to chill out.
Remember it didn't have a huge budget, that kind of money doesn't go far. How many kickstarter games even come out, and furthermore, how many are good? Next to none, I'll bet. Nobody cares about a few framerate issues. One or two delays? So what? Terrible art style? Totally subjective. Horrid voice acting? Nah.
I'm pretty damn satisfied with this game, nobody can tell me it's bad.
>>342414386
It's bad.
There, I told you.
>MN9 took almost 3 years to be made
>pic related was done in 3 months
>>342414386
The art isn't bad, but you must be deaf to not notice how bad the english dub is. Maybe you're just baiting. Who knows.
And yes, there are many other kickstarter good games, specially one very famous blue knight with a digging tool... and guess what? It didn't even need $4m.
>>342414386
>Remember it didn't have a huge budget
3 million dollars in kickstarter money. This does not include money from other sources, like publishers or comcept investors.
>that kind of money doesn't go far.
It can. I'll demonstrate in a moment.
>How many kickstarter games even come out
So long as you practice basic kickstarter sense, you shouldn't be burned too much by video games.
>and furthermore, how many are good?
Most of them, actually.
>Nobody cares about a few framerate issues.
I do. Anyone who cares about gameplay does. I'm not one of those MUST RUN AT 60 nerds, but framerates should be stable.
> One or two delays? So what?
Delays would be acceptable if the game was good. It's not.
>Terrible art style? Totally subjective.
Art is, generally speaking, subjective. However, there are certain things that are not. Mighty Number Nine looks bad.
>nobody can tell me it's bad.
I can. It's bad. You are working to justify your shitty purposes.
Now let's talk about my favorite kickstarter backed project. Armello.
Armello runs smoothy, it has fun gameplay, and makes for a great night with friends. Sure, it's kind of slow because it's a digital boardgame, but it doesn't have any huge technical problems.
Armello was made with a TENTH of MN9's budget, if that. A TENTH.
>>342415881
You can't say MN9 is bad, I don't see you making a better game:^)
>>342416679

I'm not a game developer, I pay for games for entertainment, our fucking money pay their bills and they should deliver quality material in return. Specially when we blindly invest $4m on a product he promised to be good.
So what, am I supposed to be forbidden to call your job shit just because I can't do better? What if you depend on my money to pay your fucking bills too?
You're an idiot.
I played two stages so far, Dynatron's and Cryo's. Dynatron's stage and boss fight was kinda easy but Cryo gave me a good workout. Both stages are kinda short and the one weapon I tried, Dynatron's, seemed like a useless piece of shit. The main thing I take issue with is the awful, awful optimization. Also, not being able to change graphics options during a stage is pretty bad. Still, the hour I've played so far was at least ten times more enjoyable and challenging than the three hours I spent on Shantae and the Pirate's Curse which a lot of people seem to fawn over for no good reason.
The stretch goals fucked them over hard, they bite way more than they could chew, the dumbest thing was promise to release it on every fucking platform, no dev can do that much work and deliver a decent product
Exclusives are the most polished games for a reason
>>342414386
+$4.2 MILLIONS
>>342420106
Shantae is polished, have a better level design and specially a clever dungeon design. It may not be as fast as MN9 but the upgrade system, the adventure, story, music, performance, graphics, literally everything, beats MN9 easily.
Your tastes may just be different.

I'm scared to imagine what the game would have looked like if it just barely met its kickstarter goal.
>>342414386
>didn't have a huge budget3.8 million dollars is more than enough you stupid fucking nigger
Reminder that if you backed this, you and Dina have your names on the same product.
>>342423717
Way better probably, because then it wouldnt have had to do the retardedly ambitious stretch goal, just look at the first demo they put out in 7 days, it looked way better than the final product, but then they had to adjust the development process to make it easier to develop for 10 fucking different platforms
>>342414386
Hmmm, I wonder where this came from...
>>342414386
>for no reason
>>342423717
Comcept is a shitty company, I doubt they could end up delivering a decent material. They should have tied with a bigger company.
>>342424056
Maybe better? I haven't looked but it sounds like the stretch goals expanded the platforms beyond what they could manage, if they just hit there minimum goal maybe the game would have been more focused.
>>342424562
yeah thats what i said, exclusives are the most polished games for a reason
>>342414950
Yeah and both suck.
>>342424749
I tagged wrong post, my bad :-p
>>342414386
I'm not going to pretend $4mil is a massive budget for all video games, but it was plenty for a game of this scale.
A better game that took less money, is more memorable, has more replay value, and overall a better presentation, sure, there might be slowdown issues at times, but the game itself is pretty good.
>LE MIGHTY NO 9 IS BAD MAYMAY
Just stop, /v/. You're trying so hard to force another TORtanic when MN9 is a fucking awesome game. I backed the kickstarter and I have no regrets.
>>342425118
How much did you pay? Be honest now.
Would this have done better if Capcom wouldn't stop bullying them?
>>342414185
4 mil is a fucking ton for this kind of game. I doubt not a single Mega Man game had that kind of budget and even its worst entries are better than MN9.

>>342414185
it's definitely no x4...it's barely an x7
Why is this game so buggy? It crashed four times on my computer, and for whatever reason, the game doesn't fucking save. Every time I loaded the game up it was reset to factory conditions. Who programmed this nonsense? And what fools failed to bug test critical crashes and inability to save? On the fourth crash I just gave up and uninstalled the game.
Also is it just me or do spikes kill you even during invincibility frames from taking damage? Maybe my timing was just poor and the invincibility wore off moments prior to touching the spikes but I felt like every time I'd get hit back into a spike pit I died instantly.
The game doesn't have the magic in Megaman because the characters and designs are so soulless and the English voice acting is so atrocious, only matched by its awful script. Luckily I speak Japanese and the game does allow you to change to Japanese text and voice. While the Japanese is not exceptional, in fact, it's about as standard a performance as you can get from any Japanese media, it doesn't have such forcibly shoe-horned in "jokes" that make me feel embarrassed just for having witnessed it.
I didn't back this shit, even as a huge Megaman fan, and I'm glad I didn't. For years I considered Inafune the father of Megaman, but now I know him to be just another businessman looking to eke out just a few more bucks.
>>342425284
They had talented people working in, people who certainly aged programming and designing platformers like Mega Man since the dawn of videogames
Inafune left and built his own company, Comcept.
>Capcom used to make the good Mega Man games we remember
>Comcept is not Capcom
>Comcept certainly has no experient people to work on such titles
No wonder why it went so wrong.
>>342414185
This is exactly what happens when you pay for a job up front. They already had everyone's money. So why would they care about the final result.
>>342427107
I totally agree. I tried so hard to find the magic from Mega Man in this game (which I ironically found in Gunvolt and Shovel Knight) but it was nowhere to be found.
It's just a shitty platformer, with bad music (only the main theme shines), shitty voice acting and frustrating boss fights that aren't 1/10 as rewarding as old Mega Man games used to be.
I guess we're done with this guy and his attempt to revive some of the nostalgia MM entries had.
>>342427107
The spikes are just like Mega Man 1, they kill regardless you're on iframes or not. Lame programming.

ITT: People surprised that Inafune made a shit game.
Don't forget, kids: Inafune was only a concept artist. He had nothing to do with the games beyond that. Expecting Mighty No. 9 to meet or beat even the worst Megaman is like hiring a an artistically inept clown to make a stroke-for-stroke replica of the Mona Lisa. Or hiring Michael J. Fox to create a perfect copy of the Venus de Milo. That shit just isn't going to happen.

>Weapons are literally useless, even on bosses
I'll accept your criticism of the game because I believe it has its fair share of flaws. But this is bullshit. The problem with this game is that the weapons are broken. They trivialize the combo system. Ice power? Get 100% on basically everything. Exploding projectile? Get super high 2.0x combos all the time and kill enemies super fast. Use weakness on boss? Boss gets fucking rekt.
They're too good, nowhere near useless.
>>342424126
Me too.
>>342425042
God I fucking love this game
>>342414185
How is the online anyways? I haven't heard anyone talk about that.
I enjoy the game but yes the level design is inconsistent and the weapons are weak. The Mine stage is unnecessarily cruel and I don't get what the designers were smoking when they made it.
It's an okay game but will never back anything Inafune again.

>>342414386
Are you fucking kidding me? Divinity OS had a fraction of the money from backers that this game did and it turned out a hell of a lot better than the majority of triple A titles that come out. Inafune does not give a fuck about making games anymore, he'll take the money gladly and churn out shit games because people won't let megaman just die. There's a reason Capcom gave up on his shit.
>>342425441
hello orungutano
>>342428979
MM8 has dope sprites and music though
>>342414185
>>342414185
Funposting and reaction images aside, the reason for the delays and the mismanaged budget is because Inafune decided he wanted his game to be playable on everything from the TI-82 to ColecoVision and voice acting and shit. The game being two hours long and not very interesting is inexcusable, though (the former is okay since this is a mega Man game after all, but the game play is pretty droll. It's not offensively bad gameplay, but it's quite simple and easy)
But by all means, make fun of the game for looking like ass and that joke backer rap they did
>>342414386
I'll take your bait.
>Remember it didn't have a huge budget
Hahahahaha.
>How many kickstarter games even come out
Why or how does this matter in the slightest?
>and furthermore, how many are good?
Clearly not this one.
>Nobody cares about [various issues]
Maybe, if there are only one or two issues and the rest of the game is solidly built.
Obviously, general consensus from everyone is that this is the polar opposite of the truth.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

>nice bonuses such as the super adaptor and proto shield that you don't even NEED, and the former even gets upgrades to it
Also, speaking honestly, I loved the graphics at the time. Yeah, they're bigger, but the game is made around that fact, and having played the GB games more than the NES games, I didn't even really care about size. I really got a kick out of the cartoony style they were going for.
>>342444180
My only real bitch though is that some weapons are pretty damn imbalanced, like slash claw, which could have been way better, and scorch wheel, which is... yeah. Others are almost too cool, like noise crush.

Honestly I don't hate it at all. Didn't pay a single cent for it and finding the game pretty enjoyable so far, especially after that piece of shit Gunvolt. Absorbing enemies is a whole lot better than I imagined too since you can pierce them so it flows fairly smoothly.
I enjoyed it despite the flaws

>>342431754

In MMZ this can be a real issue though.
The game sucks. For the budget and time and everything all together, and the retail cost, among a ton of problems its almost bargain bin junk.
But we all love it. Because the game represents creative freedom and someone taking into their own hands, the thing we all wanted to do ourselves. Make another megaman game.
I bought the full game and the dlc because I want to support the developers. One mistake is not defeat. And to be honest, I think keiji inafune did it for the fanbase. I think he always knew that only certain people would enjoy it. Who knows...
So.... Red Ash?

I disagree that it sucks and that it's bargain bin junk.
I have some complaints against it, but overall I found it to be fairly enjoyable and had no real problems when playing it.
Also, 4M, which is before kickstarter takes its cut and taxes get taken out, is not a lot of money for a game. Particularly one that's releasing on so many platforms.
I think the problem is people are really upset about the kickstarter itself and many of them are taking that out on the game itself.
Also, I'm very much looking forward to Red Ash and The sequel for MN9.
>>342451118
>Make another megaman game.
But they didn't make a megaman game though.
They made a slam your face into stunned enemies game.
>b-b-b-but the weapons and the-
No. Having multiple weapons and shooting doesn't make your game into megaman. That's like saying Cave Story is like a megaman game.
Just so you anons know, if you have the debug build, you can still get the achievements if you own the PC version
For SOME REASON steam registers it as the retail copy and allows you to get the achievements even if you abuse the debug build's command line. I know this because it granted me 6 achievements in the debug build out of nowhere.
It also doesnt matter where its run either.
>>342451615
Heres the PC DLCs if anyone is interested
Fuck uploading the game itself again.
Steam doesnt care about the dlcs as long as theyre in the DLC folder inside the game folder they'll appear in game. Go get them from the installed folder (these are installed to \program files (x86)\Mighty No.9\DLC) and drop em in the main game folder

I agree with many of the complaints about the game except the dub. Most characters are very well-acted. White, Bat and Avi are a couple stand-outs. You want an example of a REALLY shit dub just look at MM8 or X4.
Even once you get past the fact that it's Yuri Lowenthal yet again his Beck is pretty solid.

I used to believe that due to an abundance of information on the internet, people would have informed opinions and would be able to better themselves by theoretically being able to learn about anything.
But all it did was enable retards to justify their own opinions by finding more people like them. The internet enables people to galvanize their opinions to the point where no matter how wrong they are, they will still believe it.
