Thats my only real issue with the games look. The concept art is much too close, you’d be getting hit from off screen all the time, would be ass, so that doesn’t really concern me. With that said the levels are very static and barren, I was expecting a lot more moving parts and character to the stages themselves.
After going thru Shovel Knight, its apparent how souless MN9 looks in comparison
I will still buy it, cuz the gameplay is probably still good, but I’m definitely dissapointed
I will still buy it also
They need more particle effect. Part of the charm of modern 2.5d games is the possibility for an insane amount of particles you can use to liven a stage up.
Final product looks pretty lame, I hope a demo is released on console for this. I do like the gameplay of chaining dashes together, but yeah…Demo first.
.02 on the Dina thing. It takes time to fire people even when they do stupid shit like she pulled. Companies like this have to make sure they have everything covered and then some.
femisismism killed no9! 
Mediocrity killed this game.
The game ain’t even out yet… It’s already dead? damn lol
Community manager did a lot to kill the hype.
I still don’t even know what she “did” no one has said anything each time I’ve asked. Even then I doubt it’s as terrible as everyone makes it seem.
She didn’t accept money from potential backers if they were for (or against?) Gamer Gate and tried to push the agenda for it.
Pushing her agenda for shit and if you didnt agree you would get banned/Not allowed to give them money/etc.
What she did has been talked about in this thread. She would banned backers from the forums that went against her political ideology, flame bait people who wanted refunds, etc. This article sums it up
She pulled Tameem-level amounts of disrespect but went full blown retard with it.
Dina looks like she takes gigantic shits
That Inafune dude really was stuck in a hard place. Gamer Gate happened at the possible worst time for that dude. He’s one guy, not a huge company like Konami or Capcom. He cannot weather the capricious nature of the public and succeed. He HAD TO stay quiet in order not to alienate a large number of people.
You say people are already backing out, well I think you’re not looking at it correctly. First, he already got money up front from people who invested in his project. Once that happens, getting your money back is difficult as fuck if not nearly impossible. The website itself says you’re taking a gamble and to BE SURE AS FUCK you want to do it before giving that money away. If something happens afterward besides the dude not delivering, you should not expect your money back. I doubt Kickstarter even gave many people back shit because, really, they have absolutely zero reason to complain. They paid for a game to be made and to get some swag. Aren’t you getting that? Yeah, I thought so. Your personal beef with a community manager is not grounds for a refund. Sorry but not really.
To those who say they aren’t buying the game after that woman didn’t get fired, you’re probably a really small group. So who cares? Even Apple with its game-changing iPhone couldn’t permeate the entirety of the human population. I’m sure he managed expectations a long time before even going to Kickstarter. You extra people not buying will be noted, sure, but he probably already has a plan in place. All companies do. That’s just how businesses run. You see some companies going by knee-jerk reactions for small consumer groups terrorizing them through social media and such, but if they ignored them they would be fine. Want an example? Look at boutiques who ignore the women who are enraged they can’t buy a dress above size 6. They still pull in green, even when the economy was in the tank.
Anyway, he couldn’t really make a stand. If he had stood next to the community manager, he would have further alienated the guys causing an uproar on Twitter. If he had sided with them, the women in gaming would have had a field day with the story. And since they are better connected than the group of guys who were mad at the community manager, he would’ve gotten a fuckton of bad press on a brand-new company and intellectual property he was starting. Not a good way to launch a company. He chose to ignore all the bullshit and he is in a better position for it.
So I feel bad for him. He just couldn’t win.
Or, he could have not hired a retard who’s never even heard of Mega Man to run the PR wing of a game that is supposed to be Mega Man in all but name only, and not had to deal with any of that shit…
She wasn’t running PR anything. She was a community manager. If you’ve never done PR work before, I don’t expect you to understand the difference but there are several.
Also, it isn’t like he had some huge HR machine to separate the chaff. He did what he could and it wouldn’t have been as bad, again, if GG didn’t happen when it did. Not knowing a MM game is irrelevant because ANYONE who can do marketing/PR/journalism can learn about a subject in a relatively short matter of time.
Geez, like 80% of the people I know who work in those fields had no clue about the industry they were in and learned as they went along.
True, but the fact that moron didn’t take the half-hour it would have taken to at least familiarize herself with the subject… Or, I don’t know, PLAYED A FUCKING MEGA MAN GAME after being made aware of it tells the tale.
The GamerGate stuff was merely the icing on an already shitty cake.
So she was just being anyone on the Internet ever but the fact she’s a girl means she’s an awful person. Kay.
