Mighty No. 9 Has Turned into a Shameful Abomination

I'm convinced Inafune's terrible hairstyle should take some of the blame.

Well not yet, fully anyway. It hasn't released yet.

UnHoly_One3565d ago

Kickstarter is the worst.

Seriously people, donate to charity if you want to give money away.

RpgSama3564d ago

It's a gamble, but games like Divinity: Original Sin, Wasteland 2, Shadowrun Returns, Pillars of eternity, Broken Age, Massive Chalice, The Banner Saga, Broken Sword: The Serpent's Curse, Shovel Knight, FTL: Faster Than Light, Republique, Mercenary King, just of the top of my head beg to differ.

One-Shot3564d ago

Backed Dreamfall Chapters and been very satisfied so don't generalize.

UnHoly_One3564d ago

Not a single one of those games has a tiny bit of appeal to me, and I'm down about 800 bucks on failed Kickstarter projects, so I think I'll just go on disliking it. ;)

zidane13413564d ago

@unholyone: sounds like a personal problem. Massive Chalice is the only one I really liked from the list, but your totally ignoring the point and trying to generalize, and failing horribly at it.

UnHoly_One3564d ago

I'm not really generalizing.

Look it up, last I checked something like 2/3 of game Kickstarters failed to deliver.

The ones that actually delivered on time can probably be counted on one hand.

I just think Kickstarter is a scam.

One-Shot3564d ago (Edited 3564d ago )

Sounds like a judgement problem. Good rule of thumb, back a company with experience. And not kickstarters fault the successful ones don't interest you.

Also unless you have a lot of extra fingers rpgsama named a bunch. So no you can't count them on one hand.

I'll assume that most people reading this article will think it's some bullshit from someone who invested a little too much and was a bit too hyped up. I thought so, at least.

But then I saw the demo. There is no way to describe it other than "bad". They literally haven't even tried. Jeez.

jb2273564d ago

Makes you wonder if MS is working to get this game pushed back to sometime after ReCore releases. If Mighty No. 9 releases and garners a lot of negative press from gamers & critics, that could substantially hurt the buzz for ReCore w/ Inafune's name attached. I wonder what is happening here, I always assumed that Inafune would put out a quality title here, doubly so because he was passionate enough about the project to Kickstart it.

zidane13413564d ago

MS has nothing to do with the development of MN9.they arent publishing it.

RedTriangle533564d ago

zidane, Comcept does have something to do with both MN9 and ReCore, which microsoft also has something to do with. It would be bad business for MS for Comcept to lose credibility before the release of ReCore, therefore it's not a great surprise if they tried to force Comcept to hold the release of MN9 until ReCore made their main sales.

Especially since MN9 probably sucks because they spent all their time working on ReCore in the first place.

-Gespenst-3564d ago

The concept art they initially showed should have been exactly what the final game looked like. This just looks like about a dozen platformers I've seen on Steam.

81BX3564d ago

I will never donate to a dev. Its just a gamble really. Maybe down the road once a dev consistently makes good, so i guess i really shouldn't say never lol.

R00bot3564d ago

If a dev consistently makes good then they should have the revenue to make their next game anyway.

81BX3564d ago

I laughed... thats a good point.

Man, what a let down this was. I don’t even want to admit what I added to the crowd fund… let’s just say I learned a valuable lesson.

I think a large swath of the N4G community has been in your shoes.

Mighty No. 9 vs Mega Man 11: Who Wore It Better? A Retrospective Look

Mighty No. 9 and Mega Man 11 are two games that tried to fill a very big gaming hole, and the story behind it all is even more interesting. So which game wore the Mega Man dress better? Jason Capp is here with some retrospective thoughts upon his 2022 playthroughs.

Lol, I literally said that out loud when clicking on this article.

VersusDMC1053d ago

Only tried the demos for both and mighty 9 looked atrocious. Megaman 11 was fun and polished. Never played both full versions but will see it they are on PS Extra when i get home.

Mostly get my megaman fix playing the azure gunvolt games and spin offs. And Maverick Hunter X on my Vita.

VersusDMC1053d ago

Just tried Mighty No 9 again on PSExtra...graphics are atrocious and taking down enemies by dashing into them feels so hollow.

Kickstarter's Gaming Successes Prove Big Gaming Doesn't Know What Fans Want

Kickstarter has allowed game developers all over the world to bring their respective visions to life, while AAA Studios remains out of touch.

TheEnigma3131935d ago

This is very true. Companies like EA, UBI, MS seem to be disconnected from what fans want.

AK911935d ago

Um I’m not too sure about that check how well those games sold besides the money they got from Kickstarter they didn’t sell nearly as much as most games from publishers (AAA or not).

The unfortunate reality is these days games like Shenmue 3 and Bloodstained are incredibly niche and the only way it could survive is by use of a fan funded website like Kickstarter.
