These are just some of the games that delivered on fan expectations, because the fact is kickstarter creators like Inafune are the vast minority, for every shyster like him there are at least a dozen or so others who genuinely just want to make a game that sticks to their vision as well as making fans of that vision happy, but it seems some people here out of laziness or ignorance just want to assume every KS is a scam, not surprising given the childish knee jerk reactionary behavior of a lot of gamers. I’m sure the likes of Inafune and Schafer has made a lot of people skeptical about ever donating to KS again so people who actually deserve money for their work may get fucked over for what these greedy assholes did and that’s a shame how a few bad apples can ruin the entire tree for everyone.
All those examples also kept their goals realistic without lofty ambitions and empty promises. Less ego on the developer’s parts, and more legitimate hard work with something to show for it. The only reason Iga and Inafune got money was because fanboys threw money at them on name recognition alone, when neither have done anything significant for a long time.
that’s why it’s a major bummer. i, for one, am still waiting on hyper light drifter as i really, really dig the game. if not only for their status as creators of a game/games that fans hold in very high esteem, failing to deliver and expecting fans to not have a fit over it borders on hubris.
for now, people can slam inafune for all it’s worth but if and when the game comes out will be the real measure of creativity and vision.
@tataa8P I “obtained” the beta of HLD for backers without ever backing the game lol it’s amazing and exactly what you expect check it out.
Anyways there are a lot of KS games I’m hype for because I think it’s easier than others may believe to sniff out the legit devs from the scammers, sooner or later their true colors always show, and the ones I’m looking forward to have been pretty transparent so far even if a few of them have taken years.
I was really excited for Azure Striker: Gunviolt I think I and some others even said it looked better than MN9…then the demo came out and for me it was super disappointing as it was more score based not a survival based platformer granted it was just a demo, but it felt like a toddler’s version of a mega man game.
I’m not writing off MN9 the way I didn’t write off DmC, I’m taking a wait and see approach until reviews are out.
Kojima actually cares about his name and business. He puts out products knowing there would be no shame having his name on them, and that’s why you’ll see “Hideo Kojima” on the cover art of his games. Plus, he’s already bankrolled now by Sony using his new Kojima Productions studio. Dude knows how to do business and knows how to make games and stick to his guns.
Iga always put out excuses to why he couldn’t make the games he wanted and why Konami banned him to mobile only, and Inafune blamed Capcom for everything and is responsible for the DmC disaster. Itagaki also loves talking shit about his old co-developers, so fuck that guy too. These guys have huge egos for some reason but then you see a guy like Kojima who doesn’t sit around blaming others for shit or talking a mess about his old co-workers.

i have need of the WTF button right now, that is epic. looking forward to seeing it released so that i can play the heck out of it.
good looking out homie.
Realest (not) nigga alive up in here. Inafune is a major reason why Capcom has been dropping the ball hard on franchises. I wasn’t about to give this nigga a dime.
Nah, Sony scooped him up before the ink was dry on his resignation letter and gave him keys to his own kingdom. Check this article: http://kotaku.com/now-that-hideo-kojima-is-free-he-can-do-what-he-wants-1753974652 Look at that mofo, doing what ever he wants, meeting with movie directors, apparently he is also going on a “world tour” with Cerny to cherry pick devs for his company.
As for M#9, I was shocked they would delay it again, especially for multiplayer. Hopefully it works out in the end.
It’s like if I asked you to fry me some eggs and I came in to check on you a full 70 minutes later there’s cracked eggs everywhere and you’re unconscious and bleeding on the kitchen floor.
“I just wanted fried eggs. How did you end up with this.”
