Not that I'm bitter but I posted Blue Bomba several hours before alienous did.

I went to search my emails if I got one and I did and forgot to fill it out. It's so stupid. Any other Kickstarted project uses the Kickstarter survey to ask what your name is.
Metal Shadow Overlord.

It's a good game. It's not as good as Gunvolt, but the gameplay is still solid and fun. As a hardcore Mega Man fan, this scratches the itch. Will definitely go for the high scores and challenges.
Yeah played a bit...some levels are annoying like countershade but I really like the Avi one.
If it wasn't for the absolutely garrish visuals I think people wouldn't be as harsh on this game. Right now yeah it stands a very average with more lows than highs but it shows really how PR can hurt perception

The game is not bad the way some people are saying. I'm having a good time.
Dont jump into conclusions before playing it.

Funny enough that came to my mind as well.

I disagree. I expect Mega Man/Mega Man X games to be challenging. This is MAYBE passable as a no-name platformer but it lacks the difficulty of MM/MMX. Especially that "final boss". Ugh.
I think it was probably all PR. People can forgive bad visuals but the whole thing has been such a mess from a PR perspective that it's become one of those things that people want to hate. From the little I've played thus far, it's fine. Not mind blowingly take all of my money amazing, but just "okay".

I hope someone makes a reshade/sweetfx profile for this game to alter the graphics for the better. I can't stand the way it looks.
Yeah I haven't see all the bosses and i've seen some which are really bad (the final boss). And the other ones really are big bullet sponges which is mostly annoying. Not saying the game is good, it's largely mediocre but there's definitively potential in some aspects
Really? I didn't see it, but I understand your pain.
Edit:
It is true. I'm the Bob Kane to your Bill Finger.

I just can't get over how bad the Capitol Building level is. Who thought it was a good idea to have the entire level be a hallway and playing hide-n-seek with the boss?

I'm having random framedrop/skip with GTX970 lol. This didn't happen with the demo. Wondering how did they make it run worse in full game.
Much would be forgiven if the game had a strong art style and overall presentation.
im going to take a wild guess and say that the game is running on Unity and thats why it has a shitty performance. Its just a hunch.
The brand level is terrible. You can actually die in the beginning because the screen won't scroll and you are supposed to kill a bunch of mob until it starts scrolling hahaha.
Already killed 3 of the bosses. It's not an awful game. The controls are fine and fluid but it's an ugly game and most stages so far had a frustrating gimmick,
No it's UE3

Speaking of Kaz Hirai
lol this is gold
Is it sad that the only enjoyment I get from this game is shit like this?

Public perception, you're probably right. Me? I'd prefer the game to look like shit and have difficult, kickass gameplay.
Instead we got neither.

Yeah it's kinda sad really. Given the amount of time to the product's release and their willingness to do platform surveys again you'd think they'd at least find the time to do a second-run of credit names. Of course there's the problem of having to adjust the credits, but I don't think it would be asking too much.
Also meant to comment on this. I think Teknoman was talking about that maneuver where Beck jumps back while shooting. Maybe. Which makes me wonder if they did a better job of making players aware of the "advanced" techniques since the demo. I'll find out when I start playing later tonight, but my guess is no.
lol. i just looked this up.. and yep. UDK3. thats crazy. How can they manage to get bad performance from an Engine that is so optimized and runs on everything now a days?
Mega Ran is awesome. I listen to his Final Fantasy VII album often.

These bosses are straight up trash even when using the proper weapons.

There too easily predictable and tame. They mostly just mock you and then do a slow wind up attack before going back to mocking you.

Right? But it's supposed to be "hard" because the health bar is stupidly long.

I'll give this game a try someday if a friend has it but no way I'm giving money for that.
On the other hand, I've bought The Legend of Dark Witch on 3DS eShop for 3 and this is actually a pretty good Mega Man game with Gradius mechanics.
If you guys are starving for a fun and challenging game similar to Mega Man you should try it, it also has a free demo!

I'm convinced that half the people posting this have never actually fought a Mega Man boss. The Robot Masters were absolutely bullet sponges, unless you had their weakness. Try taking them down with just your buster and see how long that health bar feels.

I redeemed my code this morning. I haven't played it yet.

So when does the PSN store update? My key still doesn't work 
The problem with the way Mighty No. 9 handles it specifically is it doesn't have that knockback the Megaman bosses have after you hit them with the weapon they're weak to, or a few buster shots. In Mighty No. 9, you just repeatedly shoot at the boss until you need to dodge an attack, because there's no point where the boss becomes invulnerable. (except for when you need to dash at them) You then rinse and repeat until the boss is dead.
Coupled with how simplistic the boss patterns are (at least, as far as I've played) the game isn't even remotely a challenge.
This is pointless. That twitter account is self-deprecating.

Can Humble Bundle or Comcept actually see if you've downloaded the client or revealed the Steam key? I'm tired of w8ing for my PSN key and it's getting really tempting to try out the PC version.

No. You're definitely the one who has Mega Man bosses wrong.
Here's a MN9 boss: https://youtu.be/w0NIaNYhWPw?t=97
Fight goes from 1:37 to 3:37 and there's a goddamn dialog break in the middle (because we want that mid boss fight, I guess?) Length: 2 minutes.
Here's every boss, BUSTER ONLY, from Mega Man 1-6:
https://youtu.be/NSYPZpltS8A?t=12
The first fight goes from 12 seconds to 53 seconds. Length: 41 seconds.
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE LONG ONES.
