Topic: Mighty No. 9

[Sakura Leic]

Firing people wouldn't solve a damn thing, in fact that would make it worse, especially since the Network problems are individual to each platform, and we can't forget how [tornado fang]ing complicated the Wii U and Handhelds are due to how alien it is compared to PC, PS4, and Xbone.  It can't  be solved with one size fits all system.

[NitroWhite]

you sure are taking this more seriously than I was, just stating that EA as a publisher could do a better job than this disaster MN9 ended up being.

tho I'm mostly just pissing on this game for my own lulz

[Sakura Leic]

Can't help it, I'm a Human Resources Major.  My job is to identify problems and how to fix them to make an organization work better.  At least ones I get into the field.

This is surprisingly similar to that, in a round about way.

Thanks for proving mine and few other's points on the matter at hand...

[Sakura Leic]

To be fair I'm just repeating some of what OBJECTION MAN and Fxeni have said multiple times in a very rudimentary manner along with some intuition and Cuban Sass.

[Amatiramisu]

Mmm i'll take some of that cuban sass bby~

*ahem*

Anyways I just think that between the constant delays, the PR shitstorm that was Inafune's SJW girlfriend or whatever the hell that whole thing was, and the general lack of interest in the mainstream outside the MM fanbase, I honestly can't see the game doing well.

[Sakura Leic]

The only thing that it has hope for is it's own merits, however a small hope it may be.

I mean keep in mind there are people who still want to play the game, and word of mouth can be powerful internet drama be damned.  It's a hell of a long shot don't get me wrong, I ain't stupid and severe damage has been done, but it shouldn't get in the way of people enjoying a game, and in the end that's all that matters.

And that's pretty much the reason why there's Zero (see what I did there  ) reason for Capcom to make any new MegaMan games. They hilariously and arsonistically burned their PR bridges with the Legends 3 clusterfuckbuster and there is no interest from the mainstream outside the MM fanbase for a brand new MegaMan game.

Unless Nintendo wants to push for a new MegaMan game based on the excitement of having him in the Smash Bros., our best hope for the franchise is currently tied to an upcoming animated series that people are already pissed about. In other words, the situation is still Mega-bleak, ladies and gentlemen.

[Sakura Leic]

It is very mega bleak for sure, but I don't want to give up until the entire hand is played.  It just ain't my style, naive as hell as I'm aware it is.

I just hope if they do make a game out of that show it's good and fresh, but I can't judge what isn't a reality yet, events have a weird way of twisting expectations.

Spiritia Rosenberg (from RosenkreuzStilette) would be proud.

To be fair I was channeling OG Yu-Gi-Oh Heart of the Cards BS since that is totally something that should be relied on right guys?

I mean realistically this would get a Pyhric Victory at best, and even if I consider that significant given the current circumstances that is still a huge ass blow and investors would be very doubtful to invest in Comcept with high reluctance.  Idealistically Comcept will learn from their mistakes, Re-Core does well, RED ASH by some miracle becomes sleeper hit, and maybe Inafune can make a sequel to Soul Sacrifice to make up for this, but again this is ideal and not realistic.

But hey stranger things have happened and while I am realistic I don't like being negative either.

That being said I have no hope for the RED ASH anime because [tornado fang] white washing Call.

The RED ASH anime will probably be bad due to being a video game adaptation, not because of white washing.

[Sakura Leic]

To be fair the anime continuity takes place in an alternate Universe and has a [parasitic bomb] load of other characters that won't show up in the game as well as a different story line so it at least won't be like a Dangan Ronpa Anime rushed thing.

I'm mostly using it as a scapegoat for being dead weight for a Kickstarter that had a very low chance of succeeding in the first place because Inafune thought it would be a brilliant idea to launch 2 kickstarters at once even though that's the dumbest [parasitic bomb] ever. 

[Amatiramisu]

I was honestly more excited for Red Ash but Inafune's handling was VERY stupid and I'm honestly pessimistic about it ever reaching completion.

If we're talking kickstarters though, Igarashi [tornado fang]ing nailed it.

[Sakura Leic]

Same here my friend, I mean like I said I'm hoping for a miracle for RED ASH.

At the very least I think it's better they're keeping the game development a bit more quiet than MN9 for now, but here's hoping it can't get worse.

[VirusChris]

Been playing Legends 2 recently and I do hope Red Dash does excellent when it comes out (I did back it a little  ).

I backed up MN9 and I'm still looking forward to it, damn the haters. True the trailer was "too old-school" but I did have a little guilty pleasure enjoying some parts of it, but yeah Deep Silver screwed up there.

I find it humorous people claimed they were "lied" to about the premise of the game being Hi-Quality 2D Artwork when it was written there in FINE PRINT that it was going to be all in 3D and the concept art was to give an example of what it's going to be like. A shame though, I think the concept art would've been a better way to envision the game world, but to each to their own. Also a shame they were unable to get the mix transformation abilities from foes for Beck (Axl was sort like this but minor as he just copied their abilities or forms for X7 and X8).

Also the delay on the Online part... wasn't that because Sony and Microsoft WOULDN'T allow games released on their consoles to have NO Online features available at start and have Comcept delay the game to meet Sony and Microsoft's rule to release the games on the PS and Xbox consoles?

Anyway seeing some of the "leak" intro gameplay of Ray I have to say... the game looks amazing! And I cannot wait to play it, especially the Ray stages. That passive damage to your health on top you taking damage from your foes? She's going to a fun challenge to play as. Though her character model feels off to me. I know she's falling apart, but I thought she been more red in color for her armor.

Not spoiling myself with the Final Boss and waiting on the game itself to play it and see it from myself.

I know I'm going to like MN9 very much. ^_^

[Sakura Leic]

I don't know, I don't trust that leak when the game comes out in late June.  I mean that's beyond suspicious.

[VirusChris]

Mighty Number 9 - Ray's Intro Stage

I mean that's beyond suspicious.

...it is?

[Sakura Leic]

Yes, I don't trust that leak as far as I can virtually throw it.

[OBJECTION MAN]

The thing is why would EA care about a little start up company in Japan and could they fix the Network problems which according to OBJECTION MAN, who is a indie game developer here, can't be patched like normal?

It's not a technology thing, it's an ESRB thing. The ESRB rates things differently when you have an online component to the game. Patching in the online components later gets funky because the physical store bought box has one rating and the content ends up being different, which should have a different rating, when you update.

Most of this information comes from Inafune but I don't think there is much reason to not believe it. I know for a fact that online components simply existing in the game are part of the ESRB rating.

It is possible for digital titles that this isn't a problem as it can be re-rated on the digital store front, where physical copies can't be changed once printed. This is speculation though. I think Double Dragon neon, a digital only game, did patch online in after the fact. However if it was a DLC add-on (to which I am not sure either way) that DLC add-on would have possibly been rated on it's own there by bypassing this issue. Mighty No. 9 in that case, if this was possible, would have to SELL you the online components. I think that would have gone over a LOT worse than a delay.

Just some food for thought.

[Sakura Leic]

Thanks for the corrections, again.

[ViperAcidZX]

What about physical retail re-prints of certain games that had their ratings changed at some point because the ESRB probably didn't get a tape of a game that didn't clearly show the contents of said game, like what happened with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion? It had a Teen rating when it first came out (my older brother still even has the first print release of Oblivion), but after the ESRB found out their was mutilated corpses in that game, it was given a Mature rating later.

[OBJECTION MAN]

I believe such a thing gets the developer in trouble with the ESRB, and there may even be a fine involved. Speculation though, but what I do know is its not making the ESRB happy when that happens.

[Flame]

At this point I just want it all to be over and done with. Im burned out on MN9 drama.

that said, at least it looks better than the animated series is looking. game may be a mess every which way from gameplay to marketing to development, but Inafune and his crew definitely know how to press all the right "Mega Man buttons" designwise and conceptwise.

Amen to that. It's just sad to detractors only want to [parasitic bomb] on Inafune and this game just to make themselves feel better. *cough**cough* Don't get me wrong, they definitely screwed up with marketing and such, but I don't think it's worth turning it into a war crime.
