Decline Mighty No. 9 - It's better than nothing.

[Tehdagah]

Anyone got a link to some gameplay footage? I Googled it but everyone seems to have uploaded videos of MegaMan 64 by mistake.

 

[Jasede]

Looks like garbage, too zoomed out, to much noise, too much movement in the background, gigantic HUD, shitty explosions, obnoxious dialogue that isn't even as campy as in X, massive percentage pop-ups, lackluster sound effects, boring enemy placement, shitty fire effects... I could go on but I stopped watching.

 

[Siveon]

Don't forget about the jaggy animations and unnecessary dashing through every enemy bull shit.

 

[Tehdagah]

too zoomed out

Is this bad? The game is a side-scroller.

 

[Jasede]

I think that's a matter of taste, but if it's too zoomed out you have too much time to plan ahead and the game becomes a lot easier / boring. I mean, this is supposed to be a successor to MegaMan X, right? In the X games the sprites were all rather big. I really think the zoom is a result of a lack of graphical detail, to cover up the mediocre models.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Wow, that game looks like shit. And here I thought the anime cutscene crap in that one Megaman game was the worst thing that could ever happen... boy was I wrong.

 

[lightbane]

So, is this the game that was supposed to be a successor of Megaman X? And that needed so much money to be done?
Well, perhaps the rest of the game will be better, but the first impression is quite bad indeed.

 

[Siveon]

No clue, the stature resembles Mega Man, but the dashing resembles X. And yet it doesn't look as good as either.

Man, I already backed a good enough spiritual sequel to classic platformers. It's called Shovel Knight.

If you want Mega Man games, just get this when it gets out: http://store.steampowered.com/app/363440/



Quick rundown of the games themselves:

Mega Man 1 is obviously the first game in the series, it does some strange things that are not repeated in later games and can be difficult here and there.
Mega Man 2 is a solid entry in the series with some of the most beloved Robot Masters, fun stages and a nice Wily Castle to go through, but there were still growing pains and bullshit that would render you unable to defeat certain bosses if you messed up. Great music too.
Mega Man 3 has nice Robot Masters though it kinda messes with the order you fight them in. The Wily Castle is pretty good, but it grinds to a halt when you face the Doc Robots.
Mega Man 4 is where the series found its stride. Robot Masters and stages are fun, the first game to do a double castle stage and had some awesome tunes in there.
Mega Man 5 has solid stages and the Robot Master fights were pretty cool, but they were lacking a bit in character. The castle stages were not all that amazing, and the plot was not all that great.
Mega Man 6 introduces the Rush adaptors to make Mega Man even more awesome and the bosses were pretty nice, though for some reason four of them have body doubles that you have to track down if you want the bonus item for that stage. Same plot problems as 5.

What's more, Inafune and Inti Creates another Mega Man(Zero)-like game Azure Striker Gunvolt is coming to Steam on August 28.

 

[lightbane]

It is quite amusing that this Azure Striker game looks way better as a successor to Megaman than Mighty Number 9 itself.

 

[Invictus]

I dont even like Mega Man games that much and i backed this, with all the drama I am begining to think I was a sucker for giving then my moneyz.... But then again I backed Grimoire too so that says something

Always thought that myself.

BTW, anyone notice that the Red Ash Anime guys, despite having reached the goal, are already saying they need moar moneys? Must be a record.

Released: http://store.steampowered.com/app/388800/

And it's getting bashed for terribly lazy port. People say it plays like emulator.

Also don't work on Radeon card.

 

[lightbane]

Well, if people still had doubts, that mess should tell them how much Inafune cares about his fans. Absolute .

It isn't a Inafune's game, though. Inti Creates just asked him to promote their game.

And looks like they released a patch to improve the performance.

 

[Ash_Firelord]

Can't be worse than the 3DS original. At least you can use a proper screen and gamepad.

I heard that you have to use F1~F4 for skills EVEN IF you are using gamepad.

I'll not be surprised if no one at IntiCreates ever have played games on PC beside MMOs and hentais.

OMG so retarded! D=

It seems that the ost has been leaked

And it has this beauty

5:21 has backers talking, welcome to the future of Kickstarter games

 

[lightbane]

... What the the hell? Why?
Oh God, that was SO BAD.

Even the soundtrack is complete shit compared with the previous MM and the MMXs games. Some examples:



I hope this game crashes and burns, taking what's left of Inahack's little credibility with zir it.

"Finally, we know that all of our fans are looking forward to the Special Demo Version we are preparing, and we just ask that you be a little more patient. The team is working on it, but some issues popped up regarding the distribution method so there is a good chance it will not be ready to launch by the 15th. We are really sorry for the inconvenience."
Demo delayed

 

[Caim]

Oh how I hope that once a final release date is picked Capcom goes "Oh, we're releasing a new Mega Man game one day before that. A real one, not some spinoff or phone-only bullshit. Have fun!"

The butthurt would be visible from space.
