Delay No.9
Once it's delayed 9 times than it will be released for real.
Delay No.9
The game wouldn't come out broken. What is broken is a minor mode most people who want to play this won't give a shit about until after they've beaten the game.So would y'all rather a delay, or for the game to come out broken?
Worst case scenario would be an end of spring release where they pulled out all the online functionalities because they just couldn't get it to work
There's no goodwill left after the second delay + RED ASH sham combo.He's burning so much good will right now. It's painful.

This isn't a game development so much as it's a performance art piece.
I don't see why it's relevant that it was kickstarted. The development process is the same. The only difference is that people actually get a transparent view into game development and don't at all understand that delays are normal and expected in game development. Milestones are missed. Unforseen problems arise.
I understand why people are unhappy with the game in general. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm only talking about the outcry that happens pretty much every time a crowdfunded game gets delayed.
If the recent PC demo is anything to go by, the game is *far* from good. It's far from decent. It was pretty pathetic.
Because "give us more money for more features!"Still dont understand why a Megaman game needs multiplayer.

They've been alledgedly working on these online issues for like 6 months now. This is more like development hell than normal game development.Bizarre issues like this really is just a part of game development. Anyone here ever hear about the Crash Bandicoot 1 save glitch that popped up right before launch?
Still, why does this game have online multiplayer in the first place? It doesn't really seem necessary.
My thoughts exactly. I got pulled in by the "from the creator of Mega Man" bit and backed it for whatever tier included a copy of the game ($25, $30?) but at this point after all of the delays, seeing the demo, him already talking about merchandise, animated series, and all of the other nonsense surrounding this game and Red Ash I don't even want the game. I'm just writing off my backing as the cost of a lesson learned at this point.What a fucking shit show this is turning out to be. Regret having backed this game and will never support another Inafune project again.
They should've used sprites from the get go ffs.It's 2054 - The world is on fire - Chaos reigns and all civilization has collapsed - A backup generator is hooked up to a personal computer in hopes to get a message out - Emails come flooding in - 'Update #879 Mighty No 9' - It's been delayed 2 weeks to add 2D sprites instead of 3D models...
There's some coop levels and a Vs time trial mode.I've not been keeping 100% up with this but is the online stuff actual multiplayer? Like, play at the same time in the levels, both Beck etc? Or is it just online leaderboards? Because I was sure it was just online leaderboards but I don't know why I thought that.
Name a single other game that was delayed 2 weeks before it was supposed to release and assigned a new release date that didn't even list a damn month as a target. Please enlighten me as to these other games that have done this because as far as I can tell this is just another in a long history in this games clusterfuck of a development. This is not "just a delay" and your efforts to paint it as one are as sad as they are transparent.
Kickstarters should be more realistic and have the end date push with every stretch goal achieved - or release the goals in updates like Yatch Club Games did. It's totally unrealistic to meet your original date when the scope of the project completely changes.

Man, I actually kind of feel bad for Keji and the staff now. Sucks there's another delay, but obviously they're trying their hardest to have it resolved. Think I read three apologies in that statement, Keji knows they screwed up big time.
How far into the conspiracy territory would it be to think there is more going on than just the online stuff?
Wouldn't it be obvious to only delay a feature that few people asked for?
This was a mistake.
I backed for $250
They have no intention to patch in online features, so it has to ship in the game, it's probably also a nightmare due to them putting it on so many damn platforms.
That said it sucks.
Bloodstained also got an online challenge mode when it hit 4 million. >_<
hahahahahaI guess I take the crown here because I sold Megaman X3 to back this game "to give birth to a new megaman".
