"Just when you think the dust has settled on the Mighty No. 9 drama, this happens. Rumors quickly spread that director, Keiji Inafune, stated during Mighty No. 9's launch stream that in its state the game "is better than nothing". But that's not how it went down."
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.
Too late. Backers are already pissed!! This is the " information super highway " and when you press enter before proof reading your material we the consumer will eat your ass alive if you cross us!!!
Yes, but most people it seems are more comfortable believing that Inafune-san did say it because it justifies their behaviour. Look how many times EA, Ubisoft and Activision have abused gamers trust by releasing unfinished or unpolished games. What was their excuse? After all, these are multi-billion dollar companies which have the kind of resources Inafune-san can only dream of. Yet every year so many gamers will throw their money at the next product from these same companies and most likely have a similar experience.
I am not saying that what has happened is right - it isn't and ideally Inafune-san should have kept his promises about what to expect within manageable levels. But at least there is a playable game and there are many gamers who are actually enjoying it. What has happened is no worse than what happens every year with an Assassins Creed or a Battlefield game.
A guy by the name of Kevin Butler once said and I quote "You can't believe everything you read on the Internet".
I don't think there was anything he could say to make it better or worse. The proof is in the pudding.
Sorry, already meme.
