It's like a perfect example of how not to run a project. Shitty writing aside, all reports are that Kojima is an excellent project manager.

Inti Creates

The most depressing part is that those crowdfunding "from people who worked on your favorite childhood game" scams always work and people always fund the fuck out of them even when they always end being, well, scams.

Nostalgia is truly a terrible thing.

Bloodstained was a scam too. 5 million dollars for a game that is worse than the average low budget Steam metroidvania.
That game gets a free pass (or people think it isn't a scam) because it's competent, but a 5m six years project shouldn't be just "competent".

As someone who backed and actually played it, the clear problem is that they couldn't decide whether or not the game was supposed to ape the NES or SNES games.

The maps are clearly designed like MMX games, with deathpits and spike traps everywhere. The problem is they didn't give it MMX's controls and moveset (like wall clinging for example) so everything in the game feels like awful trial and error.

Inafune clearly doesn't understand megaman.

/v/ also shills on a regular basis that project from the creators of Shadow Hearts / Wild Arms even when right now there is nothing to show after 5 years but they're in the middle of a lawsuit due to the money puffing into thin air, so the board has no moral ground to shit on MN9.

>>737142574
They claim they hired by people that love video game, but their community manager, Dina, got the job via nepotism, hate video game, censored anyone that is concern about the game, and is an all around shitty person. She destroy any good will and momentum MN9 had at the start.

Nah, like everything in life there must be a balance between executives, managers, directors, designers and workers.

>that is worse than the average low budget Steam metroidvania.
Completely wrong, game bleeds style between the graphics, music, and game-feel that builds a lot from the Soma Cruz Castlevanias, easily a top game that sits with the rest of the top-tier Castlekinos. Good-ass chunk of the low-budget vanias are clunky pixelshit that get old within the first couple of hours and leverage a pro-level difficulty curve to attract players and disguise the game as deep, don't match close.

Only complaint I'd have about the game is the Switch port being ass, Miriam could have had more costume customization options, and while it's not exactly about the first game, the sequel's main characters of choice seem very bland at outset.

>>737147161

This is the kind of bias I was talking about.
Because the game is competent and not an unplayable piece of shit (or unlike many KS you can play it at all) you think it's good when it's just mediocre.
An ugly woman looks fine when you're trapped in a place where she's the only woman and all the other people are men.

No. Not at all. I say this as someone who 100%ed it. The game doesn't even expand your inventory until chapter 5, the weapons are all garbage outside of the default pistol and shotgun, actually firing at enemies deals virtually no damage, and if you buy any weapon at all outside of those two your inventory and drops get filled with ammo from those new guns that all do even worse damage than what you already have. The combat is literally

Sonic was always made for a western audience. The games were often made in America (if only partially and by mostly Japanese devs). They even designed him based on Felix the Cat, for fuck's sake. I wouldn't even say he's for a "global audience." He's just more for America than for Japan. And that's OK, because he's still targeted.

It's funny how much sense this made in 2013 to 2015. People were really expecting Ubisoft, EA and Bethesda to eat up the entire industry while Capcom would be put down like a sick dog. Then suddenly every single western triple A developer is either bankrupt or part of a larger monopoly. I would never expect to live in a world where Xbox is a complete joke, Nintendo is back in the big console sales and people talk about Frontsofware and Atlus games at the same level people used to talk about Skyrim. Where even is the Assasins Creed and Uncharted nostalgia people were expected to have by now? Will there EVER be nostalgia for those type of games?

Mega Man 11 was just as bad if not worse than Mighty No 9 and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.

At least Inafune did something different by setting up Beck's creator as a villain.

Kikestarters were the new thing and people were in love with the idea of supporting the poor independent developers directly and cutting out the greedy middlemen like publishers. Turns out meeting deadlines, being realistic with your budget and actually releasing things isn't that simple.

>>737159853
Japanese companies just needed a rude wakening, western companies need a enema. It was basic stuff like "Make your games easily available, kill this region lock crap, invest in real online, make consoles where you have at least the OPTION of playing like a normal game would, stop being stingy with adult indie games on your store" they are not THERE yet in terms of fully understanding the global market, but advancements were made.
