The Dina Disaster

This person seriously needs to get the fuck out, big time.

So first of all, let me re-talk about Mighty Number 9.  Mighty Number 9 is a kickstarter project that was set up by Keiji Inafune.  If you don't know who he is, he's basically one of the main guys behind the Megaman games.  Anyway, after Megaman was treated like absolute shit by Capcom, Inafune comes along with this kickstarter and everyone (including myself) goes mad hype because FINALLY we're getting a game that is Megaman in everything but name.

People donate something like $3.8 million to this project, the folks really want a new Megaman game that doesn't suck complete arse and they want it bad.  You could go on the Kickstarter page and view all the stretch goals and judging from that, the game was shaping up to be something really good, at least on paper.

But then fucking Dina shows up.

Dina is one of those stupid arsehole feminists that I sometimes rant about ruining games.  She is one of those people in their purest form.  She starts out by making a post about how Beck, the main character, should be completely changed into a female character because of "gender representation" in games or some fucking stupid bullshit like that.  But fine, even if they did take that seriously at least that wouldn't affect game play.

But it gets worse.  Due to the fact that her fucking boyfriend is working on the project, she gets taken on board as a community manager.  Sounds fine right? She just has to deal with the community forums and stuff like that, listen to peoples questions and concerns and whatnot, right?  Well she doesn't fucking do that.  A load of issues spring up, she just ignores people, edits or replies to forum posts with stupid snarky quips and locks down her twitter and deletes a load of stuff while nobody can see.

So, she sucks as a community manager, but that's all shes doing right?  Wrong, she's also designing the robots for the game.  Why is THIS bad you might ask?  Well look at the above picture, her artwork fucking sucks a fat one.  I don't want shit looking like THAT in what is supposed to be a spiritual successor to Megaman, it's a fucking joke.

So already it's really bad.  We have a lying, condescending social justice moron trying to push her stupid shitty agenda and on top of that she has a platform to really push her shit because shes doing the fucking artwork, but believe it or not, that's not the worst of it.

This woman has barely fucking played Megaman before and has what seems to be very little interest in it.  The whole thing that made this project sound as cool as it did, was because it was being worked on by people who knew what made Megaman good and they were passionate about delivering a quality product.  Now we have this shit head on the team who doesn't give a flying fuck about Megaman or it's spiritual successor, doing that artwork and working with the company on the project.

When people donated that money, they were donating for a "Megaman" game, created by people who were passionate about Megaman.  $3.8 million later and that's starting to crumble, so obviously I'm not the only one who's pissed off, there are plenty of people WAYYYY more upset than I am, because their out of pocket on this shit.

Unless Dina is removed from the project, Mighty Number 9 is dead to me.  It's probably not going to be the next Megaman game I was hoping for, it's going to be a super politically correct platformer where the fucking ROBOTS are changed into women for absolutely no reason other than the fact that the artist things there aren't enough chicks in games.

Get fucked Dina, I've only known that you exist for about 24 hours and you're already topping my hate list.  Burn your shitty artwork and donate whatever Comcept are paying to the Alzheimer's Society you sorry excuse for a human being.

The Blue Bomber Returns!.....Kind of....not really

Remember Megaman?! I sure as hell do because it was only a few days ago during a boring part of my afternoon that I sat down and blasted Megaman 4 on NES.

Anyway, Capcom hasn't been treating it's little blue robot very well recently.  The closest thing we have had to a Megaman game was Street Fighter X Megaman, which is fine but it's a fan game and didn't really have anything to do with Capcom from a development standpoint.  I think we also had that Megaman XOver thing or whatever it was called which was a auto scrolling game that bascially played itself for the iPad.  Not to mention Megaman Legends 3 getting cancelled which a lot of people were upset about, so let's just say that the poor guy hasn't been having a good run.

So, what I can only imagine was a case of people being sick of Capcom's shit, Keiji Inafune and a bunch of other people have taken to the internet to crowd fund their upcoming project "Mighty No9", a Megaman game in everything but name.  Basically they took Megaman and changed everything just a little bit to avoid being sued, but not enough so that people won't know what's going on.

I'm not going to talk about the game itself here because one google search will get you a wealth of information on that, so go look up their kickstarter page which has already met it's goal.  The only thing I'm going to say is that I'm hype as hell and I'm glad this has happened.  It's been far far too long since we had a good Megaman game and even though this isn't QUITE the same, it's close enough to qualify.  Capcom sure as hell aren't going to do it so let's hope Inafune and his buddies can bring back the magic.
