But backers didn't give money to an idea, and that idea remains with Comcept. Every other game, book, film, show and whatever idea remains with the creator and if the success of that idea is proven, the creator can pursue franchise options without the original supporters. Comcept is being arrogant with it's franchise announcement, but backers aren't investors.

So why don't you have a gripe? You(the backers)are being fucked by the guy, presumably.

Backers shouldn't be upset that he misled them into financing something more than a one time project?

 

[TechnicaUS]

Only conclusion. Maybe if he wrote sitcoms he might be succesful but only because he is wrting serious stuff that is shown as sitcoms.

One thing about cage that i will say. He's probably the most underrated comedic writer in the industry. Indigo prophecy is hilarious.

 

[RecursiveFault]

Damn, that's nice. I'm running integrated and an i3 on my laptop. It's not great.

It's actually about on par, maybe slightly better integrated, but it's still integrated.

I don't need to. Mine won.

There are too many people with bad taste.

How are backers being fucked? They helped fund the game so it could be made, and it is being made. They're getting what they paid for.

I didn't back "The Mighty No. 9" franchise. I backed the game. I'd be mistaken to conflate the two.

I'd have thrown more money into a franchise kickstarter

He is the greatest boxer that never boxed before but does Tae kwon do.
If only he was in his element which is comedy.

They funded a franchise when they thought they funded a game. How much of that 4 million do you think is going into the game that it was for.

Man why does Yugioh do a more accurate interpretation of Egyptians than Hollywood?

Is it? I didn't know that.

Well, my laptop is higher res, so I'm less jelly.

You guys really that upset with the direction MN9 has taken?

besides Ninja Gaiden z yaiba, I think they have a pretty solid track record.

 

[Banana Aeon]

Because Yu-gi-oh ain't afraid to show brown Egyptian people.

Exactly. I guess until he realizes that, we'll just have to keep talking shit about his 'emotional' stories. I suppose that's just our cross to bear.

Using stretch goal funds is supposed to be the cost for implementing those features, and considering they didn't accomplish even the basics of what they said they would, it's worth being upset over, and while I can't prove they misused the money, it seems that way.

Too bad that Beck's design sucks.

Beck should have a label that says "Ribbed for her pleasure.'

The Egyptian people are still brown.

And GX is fucking amazing.

I'd assume most of it unless proven otherwise.

To be clear, They're getting what Inafune can get, not what they rightfully paid for.
MN9 as it stands does not look like a $20 dollar game.

So then he should ethically give backers the opportunity to buy into growing the franchise that he so openly bragged about at that con.

That's the big question: what are the true costs of making a video game in today's market?

It's fine. The card game is stupidly inflated, and the overall series was way more interesting before it went all in on the cash grab that was card games, but it's okay.

We didn't buy a product or invest, we donated to get this game made.

What category of spending is "franchise" that isn't tied to the game in some tangible way? Advertising a hypothetical second game?
Maybe hiring a company to go over the data on how social media talks about Mighty No. 9, but other than that building the first MN9 is critical to establishing the franchise in the first place.

 

[DoktorEvil]

And are you happy with the product as is?

 

[Numb]

Exactly. I guess until he realizes that, we'll just have to keep talking shit about his 'emotional' stories. I suppose that's just our cross to bear.

Having any 'emotional' experience in his comedies other than laughter is a failure of the movie director.

 

[zedreamcast]

I still like the card game though and the animes are still great, the level of writing is pretty great.

 

[RecursiveFault]

And are you happy with the product as is?

Not really, and I'm upset that I think they may've misused the funds, and I can be mad at them for how they've handled it and not buy more of their stuff, but I just made a donation.

My point is no one knows, none of this is being handled well.

Yeah, most of the time i just feel anger. That's not what you want in a comedy!

 

[360pages]

Yeah, Mighty No 9 does not look like it's coming together that well. Honestly, games like Shanete and Shovel Knight feel like they legit are using every bit of their money to make tight product.

MN9 easily feels like they finished the game at around the 1million point and just added a bunch of side things and extras without enhancing the core.

 

[Numb]

Getting the feeling that he might announce something soon.
I got Heavy rain from my library and i barely played it.
Just kept screaming Jason! the entire time.

Did they go to Somalia in Beyond two souls?
I can understand the expendables and call of duty murdering us but i am not cool with David cage doing it.
Somalia is not the next Russia or North Korea so stop it.

Tobey Maguire is a great Peter Parker, but is a historically awful Spider-man. Just no charisma at all.

Yeah, he wasn't horrible. Better than I expected him to be. Doesn't hold a candle to Tobey, though.
