As weird as it might sound, I’ve been excited and reserved about each iteration in the series after Mega Man 2. From what I saw in the trailer, it looks more inspired than Mighty No. 9.
90% of a games actual costs are distribution and marketing
Development actually falls into a separate and unrelated budget under R&D
its in fact cheaper to make a game for digital distribution than it is to have print media.
Commercial discs are actually pressed or printed and not burned.
I have some goddamn standards. I was in fucking middle school learning how to program shit on the Apple IIe. Maybe you’ve heard of it. I have played mega man games for nearly 30 years. My family, my father ran a business for 30 years up to around 2001 clearing well over six figures PER year bitch. That was just one of the business too to give you a example.
DID YOU EVER THINK THAT FROM THE TRAILER THE GAME IS UNFINISHED??? Not every fucking thing is going to be 4k/60fps glorious pc master race. A game doesn’t have to look the best to be a good game. Let’s look at Shovel Knight for example. All you do is bitch and moan on these forums about shit. And you NEVER have actually done shit about it. What have you done to make mega man better? Give me even one example? Just bitching online? Just typing? You will -never- be happy in life with anything mega man. You just exist to bitch about something. You probably have like 2-3+ accounts here too.
(comes back to 50 new posts, with about half of them being kvetching about the game or at each other
…I can’t even say that I’m surprised, sadly)
Illogical tantrums that make me surprised the person in question hasn’t given himself a heart attack as of yet aside, I was at least made aware that I missing watching the video in the first post. I keep forgetting Twitter can do that given I don’t use any of those narcissism platforms that pass as “social media”.
The game does look a bit stiff and Mega Man’s voice sounds different (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing given horrors of MM8 vocally), but as someone who was always going to reserve judgment until this was done, it seems like a decent enough start down to them confirming at least a Guts Man-esque stage and the regular, non-MM5 Rush Coil–fuck that thing.
Fixed that for you.
Basically.
I could, but I’ve almost always found that less elegant than just outright banning the person, especially since the mods still have to see it. I think I’ve only ever used it once and that was more just because I wasn’t quite if the person was a bot or not and I may not have used it at all; it’s difficult to remember. Either way, as such, I won’t, at least right now, but I also won’t stop any other mod who uses it.
It’s being treated like some indie flash game when it’s fucking Mega Man.
The production values are substandard. Look at goddamn Mario Odyssey, then look at this… Hell, look at fucking Sonic- the running punchline himself has been treated better and given bigger budgets. Even Mania looks like it had more money put into it.
Mega Man deserves to be treated as big time like his peers for fucking once, instead of this shit that looks like it could run on a phone.
But it’s Cap- THAT SHITTY ASS COMPANY, so of course we can’t have nice things.
It’s funny you mention Sonic. Trying to turn a 2D Platformer into something it’s not is how we got to this sad state of affairs for that fandom. 2D platformers are not AAA $59.99 games. If anything they’re worth something like 15-20 nowadays. Which is not to say it doesn’t sell well nor that it is treated poorly, just that a Mega Man game being faithful will take up a solid 8 hours of solid entertainment. I’d rather have a 20$ faithful Mega Man game instead of Sonic 06 for Mega Man at 60 with Mega Man in an open world dealing with side missions and story campaigns where it doesn’t belong
Up to Battle Network 3 at least, anyway. Gods, Battle Network 4 is so bad. It might literally be the worst (official, widely released) Mega Man ever even with as much hate as Mega Man X6 and Mega Man X7 (and Mega Man X5) both get and deserve.
