Marcus Estrada writes: "On one hand, it could be considered admirable that they are committed to releasing a finished, polished product. In the face of events such as the Batman Arkham Knight fiasco (among others), bugs are a serious thing. However, the timing of this announcement is tremendously disturbing."
Mighty No. 9 and Mega Man 11 are two games that tried to fill a very big gaming hole, and the story behind it all is even more interesting. So which game wore the Mega Man dress better? Jason Capp is here with some retrospective thoughts upon his 2022 playthroughs.
Only tried the demos for both and mighty 9 looked atrocious. Megaman 11 was fun and polished. Never played both full versions but will see it they are on PS Extra when i get home.
Mostly get my megaman fix playing the azure gunvolt games and spin offs. And Maverick Hunter X on my Vita.
Just tried Mighty No 9 again on PSExtra...graphics are atrocious and taking down enemies by dashing into them feels so hollow.
Kickstarter has allowed game developers all over the world to bring their respective visions to life, while AAA Studios remains out of touch.
This is very true. Companies like EA, UBI, MS seem to be disconnected from what fans want.
Um I’m not too sure about that check how well those games sold besides the money they got from Kickstarter they didn’t sell nearly as much as most games from publishers (AAA or not).
The unfortunate reality is these days games like Shenmue 3 and Bloodstained are incredibly niche and the only way it could survive is by use of a fan funded website like Kickstarter.
There are games people hoped would be good. Maybe there was a great developer making it or fun premise. Unfortunately, those things couldn't save these titles.
No Man's Sky had the most disappointing launch after the massive hype.
It also had the best turn around of any game.
Today it is basically a mammoth sandbox/city builder/space sim/casual podcast in the background meditative play. Love it right now.
But you jumped on the hype train without seeing what the game really came with.
Sean Murry absolutely caught up in the hype and talk about future stuff that wasen't there from the start.
But what i was promised before the game came out was an unlimited univers and everybody else was looking forward to just that and nothing else. So he gave us just that..that people could not see the true picture about an Early access kind of game was delusional, it was so clear it was not ready...
CD3, and ff15, maybe shemue 3, I feel are more recent disappoinments than Duke nukem and perfect dark.
Anthem was predicted to be a failure from its beginning especially since the last game Bioware put out was the abomination called Andromeda.
Undermines? Backers backed the game and the team with trust that they will deliver quality work.
If tis not quality in its current state, they are correct to delay it until it is.
Did folks not forget that they paid for a game with the understanding it would work? That trust sorta goes both ways, its the teams game, the teams studio etc, they will delay it until its online is correct and fixed.
Folks want a quality game, they paid for a quality game, they paid for a team to do the right thing...the team is doing the right thing.
Like I said in the previous thread...
If they released it now, they'd be under fire for releasing a buggy and/or incomplete game and relying on patches to carry the load, leading to bad word of mouth.
Yet if they don't release it now, they come under fire for being liars who can't keep to their release date "promises", resulting in lowered trust and, again, bad word of mouth.
No matter which way they do it, Inafune is in a lose-lose situation.
And it's all because people can't decide which way they want it to be done...
Wow it isn't often a headline sucks so badly that I have no desire to so much as click the article.
No really let me illustrate it properly. Even the most crazy incendiary headlines where I can see constant comments of people saying the article is crap and how dare they say ____ I will still check out to give the benefit of the doubt.
So you must of won some kind of award here because there is NO way I am checking out an article when your ignorance is demonstrated perfectly in the headline itself.
Oculus BETRAYED backers. Comcept delaying their game is not "undermining a backer's trust." So since your headline announces "Comcept undermines backers trust by delaying game" There really is no point in bothering with it. Maybe just maybe if it were phrased as a question or a rhetorical statement I might be able to give you the benefit of the doubt.
A "declaration" of misinformed "facts" and a complete lack of understanding of the very terms in which you refer to? "Backers" "Trust" "Undermining"
Hard pass. I recommend the same for all.
