This is what $4 million in crowdfunding gets you.

lmao, and people think that this will contend with depressionquest for indie of the century?

That's a speedrun? It looks like he's just playing the game normally.

200K on voice acting alone and that was from another kickstarter campaign on top of the original. Do these guys even know how to budget? This looks like it should have cost way less to develop.

But this was a better boss fight.

Also, I never knew there was another energy tank there.

Please for the love of Jesus tell me that was just a tutorial level

Mega Man already exists.

The last actual Megaman game (meaning not a crossover or Megaman poker game) was Megaman 10 in 2010, and thus far, Capcom hasn't really shown an inclination toward releasing another one.

Verbatim · July 30, 2015, 06:43:32 PM

Not only have they shown no inclination--they've been completely hostile to the franchise itself.

Four cancelled games.

Well what I didn't really like:
The blink seemed to circumvent gameplay (it made enemy encounters trivial)
There wasn't much enemy variety, not adding to the complexity of challenge like you'd see with an actual Mega Man game.

The voice acting... Was okay, though The doctor fellow could use some work. And I thought he sounded like the protagonist...

And that boss fight reminded me personally of another boss fight, but the mediocre version of it without atmosphere (so maybe not a legitimate reason as far as the demo itself is concerned).
The boss fight was just... I think the bossfight could cover comments on combat in general, trivial.

Now, I might be missing something because I'm not actually playing the game, but that's what I observed.
I still support people with independent ideas using other commercial means of funding their projects, though.

STILL BETTER THAN MEGA MAN

come fight me

Coco · July 30, 2015, 07:27:06 PM

How engaging do people normally expect level 1 to be?

Verbatim · July 30, 2015, 07:31:55 PM

Pretty engaging, actually, yeah. Who wouldn't want the first level of the game to be engaging? Things can be simple and straightforward while still being engaging, you know.

True Turquoise · July 30, 2015, 07:43:34 PM

i dont mind the look of this tbh

Verbatim · July 31, 2015, 12:20:07 AM

And that.

Funnily enough, that was after the whole debacle about not having Mega Man as a playable character in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. It's like they were saying, "You want Mega Man? Well, here he is, fuckers. How do you like that?"

They really do just love to antagonize their own devoted fanbase.

Coco · July 31, 2015, 12:27:34 AM

Because the first 4 enemies in the first 3 minutes of the game, ran by a speed-runner, are perfect grounds for saying the thrusters are OP and the gameplay is a trivial disappointment. I can understand skepticism and worry, but disappointment?

Just watched a speed run of Mega Man X level 1: what a disappointment. All he did was run forward and shoot the stationary enemies and run past the flying ones. Charge shot was OP, too. Game must be a joke.

I'm not even trying to defend the game, I'm just genuinely curious, especially from the pissed off Youtube comments: do you expect to be sweating by the time they tell you to press A to jump? I've never heard anyone shit on a game because the tutorial wasn't hard enough, and I don't get all the people getting mad because it's a Mega Man ripoff...no shit it is.

I don't know, I was looking for some decent footage of the Arachnus fight and I picked this one (partially because Samus looks like a Sangheili).

This game has a habit of hiding multiple things in the same item room. I can't believe I never checked there even when I knew this.
I guess that's what I get from speed running the game though...

The main difference being that Mega Man X's tutorial was actually, you know, engaging.

Thun · July 31, 2015, 11:12:09 AM

In all honesty, the music in X alone are pretty damn engaging.

Spoiler

Although the OP stage was short and simple, it managed to succeed by the types of enemies thrown at you, how they were thrown and the setting it all takes place in. MN9 just has dorky looking robots that materialize out of nowhere and the fact that you have to stop moving forward to fight some of them is gay as fuck. And yea I expect to be sweating because MM was always known for it's difficulty. MN9 looks like a fucking cake walk.

I also have to note that MMX is a 24 year old game.

No it wasn't. It was just mindlessly running forward and spamming the shoot button without stopping. I'm clearly ready to assume the rest of the game plays exactly like this.
