Yeah, I'm kind of dumbfounded right now. It saved before. This wasn't the first time I have quit the game and come back. I didn't do anything different?

I saw a lot of reviews be pretty down on the music, but I'm wondering if that's a symptom of the fact that people were displeased with the entirety of the game itself. I've listened to a few tracks on Youtube and I really liked some of the tracks I heard.
I'm near the beginning so, it's not too bad for me.
I beat 3 bosses
the game is........ fun!
I only played one Mega Man game as kid and I don't remember much so, I don't know how the game is a failure, but is sure is fun for me.
I got bored with every game I played in the past 2 weeks including Blood and Wine, Twilight Princes and SoTC and suddenly I'm having a blast with this game
maybe I just needed a game with fast action gameplay.

Playing through Ray's campaign right now. The health degeneration thing is kind of annoying, but so far I like playing this character more than Beck.
Kind of curious if my username is in there.
*Checks video*
Yep, it's there.

The constant VA probably did it no favors. I think trying to make this a bit more "premium" hurt things some.

So wait, if I use the code, I can just have the PS4 version on my hard drive and not use the disc?

Let's get this shitshow on the road!

Getting back to this, I got a response from Fangamer-
Sorry for the delay! Comcept has been focused on releasing the game, but now that its out theyll be able to turn their attention to the assets we need to produce the merchandise. We expect to have rewards shipped out sometime this fall. Let us know if you have any other questions!
What a botched Kickstarter.
Wow. I'm so glad I didn't opt for the physical tier.

I wonder what memo I missed. I'm just in there as a "Generous Backer"
If for some reason you're still stuck on the last form, I would suggest using Battalion. Two perfect hits on the 4-part body kills it, dash through that. Then deal additional damage with Battalion as head is leaving, making sure you get your air-dash off properly. The same is true for the flower phase. Always try and anticipate it, then get two-three fast battalion hits on the two-part body, dash through that and jump up the platforms. If you're quick enough, you can do that without taking damage. Then while flower form is spouting its crap at you and missing, you can R2+Square a couple more battalion shots diagonally down to soften up his HP bar for the next Dash Attack.

So ledge grabbing... anyone else have any advice so using this properly. It seems like a stupid question but I had a hell of a time with the highway level because Beck kept dropping off the ledges randomly instead of leaping onto cars. I've had this problem since the first playable demo on the PC so I'm quite pissed off that this is still happening in the game. Actually, I'm just annoyed that ledge grabbing is even in the game at all. Either use wall jumping or nothing at all (I'd have been more happy with either). Not a fan of dying and feeling that it wasn't my fault.
Otherwise I'm enjoying the game. Its definitely above average at very least for me bar wall jumping. I can see me enjoying replaying some stages, but due to some annoying sections in levels I don't feel particularly hyped up to 100% absorb/S rank levels. Getting the plat on this game will be enough for me. Challenge mode seems kind of fun, can't do the "6 shot Bat level" yet though, can't figure out the best route for taking out all the enemies within the required number of shots.
Graphics are pretty damn bad in places, but that's not really affecting my enjoyment of the game at all, its more the little control issues here and there like ledge grabbing and weird sliding (as if I were on ice) at points in the game.
I'll play some more to see what my opinion is on the other few levels. Bosses seem fun enough so far though. Does anyone know what the secret to getting all the "Fine" bonuses on boss fights mean? I've got a couple of them randomly but nothing that I can really replicate.

You can bind up to 3 powers to a hotswap button on your controller.
Is your copy the DRM-free PC version?
sigh...goddammit.

Didn't have the co-op option at the beginning, I assume you must make some progress or clear a stage to have the option to play co-op.
You have to beat the 8 robot masters for one of co-op options, IIRC, and then the Prison stage for the other.

Oh, that kinda blows. I wanted to play this game in co-op mode with a friend of mine from the beginning or something, but I guess I'll have to clear a huge portion of the game first.
Thanks for this, it helped a ton.
AFAIK, co-op is just a challenge mode thing, not a story mode thing.
Yeah. Though you have to delete the disc install and download the game from the Library.
Not sure if it was fixed, will be or is intentional.

What the fuck do you do in this Capitol stage?
Keep running in circles killing everything until you find him. Shoot him and find him again until he gives up and you have a boss fight. It's a horribly designed stage.
Hunt down CounterShade and shoot him when you get the chance. Eventually he'll get bored of losing and fight you for real.

Try Pyro (MN no.1) stage to see how "well" the game runs.
I completed that stage actually, it ran at a locked 60 FPS.

Should I keep going in one direction or pace back and forth? Why isn't there a fucking checkpoint?
I don't know if backtracking is faster or not - I just kept going right until it triggered.
I followed where the sniper line was coming from. My least favorite stage though the boss was super easy.
Go in the direction of wherever the red beam/lasers are coming from and it'll lead you to him.

Because checkpoints are triggered when you pass by them for the first time. Like the other guy said, it's a terribly designed level.
Then there are the insta-death wires. I mean, granted I only died to once because I wasn't really paying attention but it's incredibly dumb, especially since at least 70% of the level is you just dashing through empty space.

Yes. It sucks. And you get bored and start getting hits from the regular enemies since you aren't playing well.
What a colossal piece of shit. They delayed this game for a year and they still couldn't work out kinks like this. Every level seems to have one part that just seems poorly designed, but this level is a disgrace.
Maybe I'll try again, I don't know.

Ended up getting my controller to work.
The game doesn't look as ass on PC with high settings as it does on console, but the visuals are still so barren and boring. They ooze plainness. Most of the stage area isn't populated either making it just seem like Beck runs along with only maybe 1-2 enemies on screen (at most 5 or so is what I've seen).
The stages themselves are pretty boring so far. I die sometimes, but when I do die I feel it's because of cheapness rather than me messing up. The difficulty will get a suddeb rise at certain parts of each stage and you basically get blind-sighted. The game really relies on tough love - unless you know about things beforehand, you usually will die due to there being no learning curve for those one-time sections. The cheapest death I've had so far was in the instant-death-sparks hole in Mighty No 2'a stage. You're falling and it makes sense but then suddenly it wants you to dash left and completely screws with the pacing. I've never died on that section since, which is why I feel it was such a cheap blind-sight death.
Cheap deaths aside, I think the game is pretty easy. But I have been playing Mega Man games for a long time too, so that likely helps a lot. I'll probably beat the game once and then put it down after that.

My problem with the music is that I haven't heard more than a few seconds of it because the volume of it is so low that it disappears once the action starts!
So was I supposed to get the RAY DLC with the PS3 crossbuy copy? Because it wants me to pay $5 to get it for that version, even though I have the dlc downloaded for PS4.

7/8 bosses beaten, just got the Capital Tower left (which by the sounds of it is the worst level in the game).
Bar ledge grabbing I'm enjoying the game. Its very rough round the edges but I do like a few things about the game - bosses for the most part have been pretty fun and I do like the absorption technique - after playing through some of the levels through several times my timing is down pretty well so I can do fairly well on most of them (averaging A ranks, could probably bump a few up to S if I could be bothered).
But level design does feel very rough - the highway is hindered by ledge grabbing and just generally being pretty by the numbers, I probably have played stages where I leap from one car to the next in so many games it feels generic. I did like the boss battle though so that's something.
Pyro's level is just a mess with the fire (it reminds me of Flame Man out of Mega Man 6, if all the charm and decent level design was sucked out of it). Again, I enjoyed the boss battle.
I liked the water level, my only real complaints were the performance on the second half of the level (the ice bit) and the murky water at the beginning (WTF? Its almost impossible to see anything). I'd say the boss needs to shut up, but her lines of dialgoue dictate which of her attacks she'll use... still better than the "burn to the ground" stuff in Mega Man X7.
I like most of Bat's level, even if it seems like its seen 0 changes since the first demo released all that time ago. Most of the level has a nice flow, but the end bits with the fiddly platforming bring it down.
The Radio Tower should have been more fun, as I did enjoy most of it but there were a few fiddly bits when you combine the ledge grabbing and wind working against you.
I somehow doubt a sequel will happen, but if it did I'd be happy as if the level design and core controls/mechanics were tightened up I'd be enjoying it even more. I think the reviews were about right really. This seems like a 5-7 game depending on your opinion of it. There are too many things holding it back from being great I feel, but at the same time I'm still enjoying it and can't wait to play more (and do the harder difficulties etc.)
I do like the way the game challenges you to clear certain "challenges" in levels - like speed running sections or pulling off certain moves against bosses, I've had a lot of fun replaying levels to complete those tasks.
