Nice.
Can anyone who eagerly backed this and is now pissed off that the game's not out yet shed some light on exactly why you're disappointed?
For me Kickstarter stuff is very much throwing a few bucks at something that you wanna play down the line "whenever." If you wanted it then, how can you really not want it now? If the fuckin' thing comes out in 2020 I won't care, I'll still download it and play it. What's the big deal what arbitrary day it comes out?

Because people want to play it and the fact it's held back because of damn netcode is laughable.
Honestly surprised anyone actually wants it after that demo though...
Well at least I know I didnt miss it heh.

Speaking personally, it's because the game was due out over a year ago and they've done a really awful job of explaining anything. The first delay was leaked by a retailer instead of Comcept telling backers right away. Also, they tried ANOTHER Kickstarter for an animated series, a spin off game, and a movie for that spin off game. The game isn't even fucking out yet and they keep pushing it like it's a tried and true, beloved franchise. They should be focusing on just getting MN9 out and seeing how it does.
Also, having online modes isn't important to me so having it delayed for that sucks too.
As a backer, I feel as if the team is incompetent. I don't know if that's a fair criticism, or if all of these delays are really due to netcode or something of the like. I just know that I put money into something that seems to have been mishandled, and it kinda sucks.
If the final product isn't very good, I'll never back him again.
Interesting responses... I guess I really just couldn't care less if or why it's delayed and when it was supposed to or is supposed to be out. I suppose I hope it doesn't suck, but I'm not even really banking that on a conditional "well as long as it's good then the delays were worth it."
Really all I care is that it comes out and that it is a game... I backed it for the provenance and concept--things change a lot from Idea On A Page to finished work. Kickstarter ain't a preorder.

I respect your opinion, but I couldn't disagree more about MN9 feeling 'right.' Gunvolt, sure, but MN9 feels atrocious.
Been playing Mega Man since X hit the SNES and then spent plenty of time with the classics that came before.
I'm sure I'm not alone in being someone who grew up with the original Mega Man games who thought that X felt weird.

I'd rather Comcept ensure the game is rock solid and bug free.

If I believed that was really what they were doing I would agree. But by their own statements they are spending the time making an online multiplayer that next to no one cares about or even asked for.

So people, what have we learned from this?
Thats its not always the pubs fault when feature creep and monetization ruin a project.
played X on my PC. that's how weird it felt.

Are we still under radio silence?
Out of curiosity, how does refunds on Kickstarter work?
I've never done a kickstarter, but I can only imagine that at some point, something is going to backfire spectacularly.

Kickstarter is an investment. You're not getting a cent back unless they miraculously cancel the game and refund everyone.
That being said, I backed pretty hard and wish I could get a refund. ;_;

You can request a refund but, good luck. Ultimately it will be up to the project runners to decide whether to give one to you or not.

Wow. The OG release was this time last year. Bollocks
It's not even that - it's a donation.

Hoping I don't miss out on the platform survey this time around.
Radio silence is a polite way of putting it.
They haven't posted an update since January.

Looks like a release is just around the corner.

Hope it comes to NX
If it is successful on other platforms and NX is easy to port to, it seems reasonable to expect they'll bring it there. ☺
Looks like I need to decide if I want to +1 my Steam game count or give it away on ModBot. Decisions decisions.

Everytime someone bumps this thread I think there is yet another delay... can we let this thread die please?
Sad that the only news about this game isn't coming from the guys making it, but at least it's something.
Now I just have to prepare to divorce my opinions on the game from the negative reactions and the amount of money I gave them and I should be ready to go when this finally comes out.

Well..apparently my copy just shipped. I even have a tracking code for it showing it was shipped. I don't know what's going on but I'll keep you guys updated.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
This thread popped up and for a moment, I thought there was another delay.
I still think the game looks fun, so... I'm still excited.

Crossed my mind briefly too, but retail copies have been out for weeks in some places.

"Hey, Inafune, is the game ready yet?"
"NO"
"Well, uh, can you just not do that feature? No one really seems to want it."
"NO I'M GOING TO"
"Okay, but what if you didn't bother with the transmedia stuff? Let's let the IP get some recognition first."
"NO I'M DOING IT NOW"
"...okay."
