is /v/ going to eat crow when it comes out and is actually good?
eat crow? more like eat out mouse
It's not that it won't be good. It's that Yacht Club has bet the farm on this niche title and I will be surprised if it sells enough for them to keep the lights on after this
What were the complaints after the demo released again? Was it the burrowing move being too broken?
Elementalis>Pipistrello>>>>>>This.If Mina came out earlier before these games I'd have more hope for it. But it just seems strictly like the most boring aspect of zelda and castlevania: The combatNone of the interesting puzzles and/or exploration.I'm currently in a bad mood for pure combat focused games. We'll see what the revies say when theyre out.
>>738578416Who gives a shit about this?
>>738578416Why does their office need to be in beverly hills
>>738578416>come outlmao
>>738578416>and is actually gooddefine "good" in this caseit might be a good dodgeroll simulator but it's not Zelda clone people were expectingalso it's baffling how much of a failure this kickstarter is compared to Shovel Knight - asking way more money but looking worse and delaying until devs are risking to go bankrupt
>>738578416they're still going out of business. there's no way this game will dig them out of the hole they dug. kind of ironic actually.
>>738578416from the screenshots it looks like a zelda game on the gba which ive played like 25 years ago...
>>738578752they closed their office last year, the team works from home now
>>738578416I don't doubt it will be good, but will it be popular?
>>738578884holy ESL drivel
>>738578416I feel like I've made more progress on my own game in weeks than the Mina devs have done in years, and to me it's just a hobby.
>>738578416I heard Crow is quite bad tasting
>>738579060anyone who cared bought it during the kickstarter. They have to hand out a zillion free copies that won't profit them at all. But outside their cultish followers no one is really interested.
>>738578416It'll come out, and be great. Unfortunately /v/ doesn't play games, so we'll just have countless prejudiced threads discussing a topic based on pure assumptions.>>738578675Elementalis is no better than Pipistrello.
>>738579087>doesn't answer the question and instead spits out a buzzwordok retard
>>738579139that's... that's the point... that's kind of why the idiom exists... you retar-oh, oh... just never mind, fuck you
Eat crow? Heh. More like, eat mouse!
I will enpurchaserate it, yes. Both because it looks fun and because I don't want the devs to go under.
I think vee as a whole underestimate the classic>from the people that brought you shovel knightNo one will search further, that they supported blm and wasted money, opened up an office in commieformia etc etcIt will be literally: oh ye I liked shovels, and then instabuyWill it sell enough to "save" them? I don't fucking care
>>738579198>Elementalis is no better than Pipistrello.Based on what?>Better Dungeons>Better Puzzles>Worse combat>More content
>>738579309Did that save Pocket Dungeon and Dig? No, it didn't.
>>738579309>from the people that brought youSo the very thing that killed the reputation of many devs who relied on Kickstarter only to fail (even if the funding was successful)?>MN9>Shenmue 3>Yooka-Laylee>Unsung Story (didn't even come out)>Armed Fantasia & Penny Blood (latter one is already dead)If anything, having a Kickstarter funding is a red flag these days
>>738579309>opened up an office in commieformiaWhere do you think they lived before they opened up that office?
>>738579526You say this when Shovel Knight was an example of a kickstarter campaign succeeding and was compared favourably to MN9
>>738579695Nobody knew Yacht Club until Shovel KnightEveryone knew who Conman wasSK was praised for achieving its goals with fuckall budget while MN9 had bloated budget yet cut corners left and right only to release mediocre productAnd now Mina is MN9 of Yacht Club - bloated budget with dev hell, delays and mess of a game. From a dev many people know by now.
>>738579643Where do you think they worked before opening up that office?
>>738578713But enough about Cerulean Onslaught
Y-ACK'd club does not understand>they published SK when there was comparatively little competition>the only reason they stood out was LOL RANDUMB KNIGHT WITH A SHOVEL?! gimmick that, even if they came up with something similar, won't fly 12 years later>their current game has no meme>the mouse looks generic>so does their gameplayTHEYAREDOOMED
It might be the greatest game ever made but it'll still flop
>>738578416>eat crow?
>>738580068Shovel knight succeeded because at the time making a NES style platformer was a relatively fresh idea still yes but come on, people liked the game because it was genuinely fun and charming and the music was really good.Plus it was just a wholesome non-woke story about a hero trying to save his beloved so /v/ has no reason to hate it, also Plague of Shadows was about a manlet getting to have wholesome romance with a goth GF
>>738580242>non-woke storyYou can change the gender identity of Shovel and Shield Knight in the options. Not their sex, their gender identity.
>>738578639mainly just that it's not an adventure game.
>>738580218here you go esl-kunhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_crow
All the devs had to do was give Mina feminine characteristics. Even just eyelashes would have done wonders>>738580413It was sex when the feature first launched, they changed it to be "body type" and "pronouns" (as separate options) in a later update years afterward. I don't think it's fair to shit on the game for such a late update; the developers absolutely should be shat on for that, but the game was pure at its creation and most people played it around when it first launched.
it reminds me of gremlins more than link's awakening.
No physical, no buy.
>>738580602Not ESL, just not American.That's an American saying.
>>738580663buy the deluxe edition.
>>738580608>It was sex when the feature first launchedYou'll have to prove that.>I don't think it's fair to shit on the game for such a late update;You said the game wasn't "woke". I'm just confirming that you are mistaken.
>>738580602>your ESL because you don't know a dead idiom from a century ago
>>738578416>is /v/ going to eat crow when it comes outNo, because /v/ is full of unapologetic narcissists, and narcissists never admit to being wrong.
>>738580760I double checked and found out I had misremembered. The kickstarter goal was gender swap, but it launched years later as body swap with the pronouns. I am a faggot
>>738580779>because /v/ is full of unapologetic narcissistsMore like the entire modern internet is like thisDon't pretend you're not the same (whatever shithole you came from)
>>738580903Thanks for admitting you were wrong and that the game was always "woke". Most people wouldn't, so I respect you.
>>738580926But /v/ takes it to a whole other level. At least half the threads here can be nutshelled as "People who aren't me exist, and that makes me extremely angry."
>>738579309shovelknight was way too long ago.nobody cares anymore.
>>738578416I recently tried Shovel Knight again and it still sucks and looks bad. This game will be no different.
>>738581612Kind of crazy how hard Shovel Knight fell off, it was THE indie game.
>>738578416the main character's design doesn't fit with the world, the enemies, or the bosses. She looks like she's out of a furry children's anime and everything else looks like castlevania.
>>738578416There is a 90% chance that OP is one of the people that have been shitposting about the game up until this point
Another classic case of /v/ being mad about nothing and the game will be good!
>>738578416>it's great>"Buy an ad", "why is this shit still being spammed", "(insert AAA game here) BTFO", "now that the dust has settled" threads on a daily basis for the next two years>it's good>/v/ denies it, claims everyone who likes it is a paid shill>it's OK>LITERALLY TORTANIC, HOW WILL THEY EVER RECOVER, etc>it's bad>we get three weeks of mouse porn threads and it's forgotten afterwards
>>738580903>Would
>>738580608>>738580903>moussy
Wtf why would I eat a crow?? That's a fucking bird
>>738580778>your
i will pirate it and jerk off to rats
>>738578416Their not shovelknight 2d sidescroller game was pure dogshit with cheap deaths and ass map design.I'll wait for the /v/ consensus in 2nd place(detailed reviews, but disregarding the worshipping mousefucking coomers which are the 1st place shills)
>>738578675buy an ad
>>738578416It sucks that this is their next project after 1000 years of Shovel Knight. I don't like that the main character is a rat. That aside, I wasn't exactly clamoring for another Link's Awakening.
Eternal reminder
>>738591051no idea what the hold up was. technical side seems simpler than even Shovel Knight, so why is it such big problem?
>>738591051 >1000 years of shovel knight they were a 2D indie studio that struck gold and then mined the same vein until it ran dry, that’s literally what every small dev does when they don’t want to go bankrupt also lol at pretending anyone was “clamoring” for anything on /v/. you people don’t clamor, you just complain preemptively. rat MC is the least offensive thing here. the real issue is whether it’s just dollar store Link’s Awakening with furry bait or if they actually have something interesting mechanically. if it’s tight and not bloated, nobody’s going to care that she squeaks.
unfortunately mogged by my own Zelda like that I'm developing
>>738578416I'm sure it's gonna be fineI don't know about it saving the studio tho
>>738593605>that’s literally what every small dev does when they don’t want to go bankruptI disagree I feel most indie devs move onto wildly different projects after a game without iterating. Shovel knight was an exception since they had the kickstarter backer incentive things and it really showed how valuable sticking to and improving on one formula is because each campaign was an improvement over the last (imo) and they weren't even able to monetize them for a lot of SK owners. I still think they're retards thoughbeit
>>738592872but I want to be the tiny human bf for the big mouse gf
>>738578583Pretty sure it has to sell 100k to break even, which it should clear easily
>>738593654Post it
>>738578416>>738578675Wonder of Blue clears
>>738580663All but confirmed, the kikestarter had boxart mockups
>>738579505It didn't save cyber shadow either
>>738578639Too much Dark Souls, not enough Zelda.
>>738578416I will pirate it. Thanks for asking.
>>738578416if you haven't played shovel knight you should
>80 posts>No gameplay
>>738578416I don't even hate it or want it to fail, I just think Yacht Club pinning the livelihood of their entire operation on a GBC inspired Zelda-like is probably not a good idea. This might be great, but it's not going to sell anywhere near Shovel Knight's numbers, and nor is it likely to receive the same content and love Shovel Knight received.
>>738578675The revies are going to fellate this game no matter what. The studio is one of the good goys.
>>738580903>>738580608Who is this mouse girl? I need a artist name immediately.
>>738578416How good the game will be is not what matters. What matters is what it will mean to pixel shit indies that bank on nostalgia, and the inevitable end of Yacht Club Games. For all we know, the game will fall in the "one man's trash is another man's treasure" category
>>738582316>we get three weeks of mouse porn threads That's happening no matter what, anon.
>>738596065it's not out, all the trailers are easily accessible
>>738578416Nobody is saying the game will fail, /v/ is mocking the dev for mismanaging funds and putting the company in peril, despite shovel knight selling well
>>738578639My biggest complaint was that it was a limited-time demo. Just keep it around on Steam for people to play around with.
>>738596251Why would I go an outside website? You should make the webm for the thread.
>>738580663Just burn the exe to a dvd. I do miss my old laptop that could burn cover-art onto the other side.
>>738596389>Why would I go an outsideBrown.
>>738578416I never liked the GBA action games
>>738578416the project nortubel of yacht games
>>738596669What's your criticism of these gems?
>>738580413Faggot I beat both the original game and plague of shadows and I don't remember this being a thing, was it added later?
>>738596778I like 3D action games more. They're not horrible, but I never played them if I had access to a console or PC.
>>738596778Mina's map is a hallway, Oracle's maps are open-ended for an actual adventure game.
>>738596778I found them awfully boring. Maps are too big and empty. Minish Cap and LA were better.
>>738597102>maps are too big and emptyHow? They were incredibly compact and had shit to do most every panel.
>>738596878>MapGod damnit! Why does Yacht Club always fuck its games over with shitty maps??
>>738596878
>>738596878In what universe does this look like a hallway?
>>738596878Is this the entire game?
>>738596878so what the fuck is even the structure of the game, is it stage based?I thought the whole point was to make a not! Zelda game
>>738594529based
>>738578416Why are you meme'ing that /v/ wouldn't like a game with a cute mouse? /v/ loved shovel knight until they got jaded about it and muh pronoun patch.
>>738597695It's Zelda + Castlevania + Dark Souls
>>738597578You go left of the center town, you warp back to the center town and then go right. It's pic related but slightly rearranged.
>>738579213NTA but Why would a company keep putting off release a product for money when they're about to go under? Why put it off for so long? Doesn't add up.
>>738578416sorry but im playing bubsy 4d over this
>>738579309Why do you think anyone but gamergatefags will care?
>>7385977532 of those are not stage based.
>>738578752It's in the Sawtelle area in LA. Walked by it once while in the area.
>>738596878>hallwayThat's clearly a grid and they appear to be connected. Could be isolated areas though idk.
>>738597957Yes, it's probably going for the Dark Souls 1 "interconnected world" thing.
>>738578416minigirl mice MADE for onahole-type sex
>>738593605>lol at pretending anyone was “clamoring” for anything on /v/.I said that because, at the time Shovel Knight came out, I did want to play a 2D platformer, especially one taking a lot from Mega Man and NES Ducktales. I don't want an overhead Zelda clone nearly as much.I really wanted something right down the middle, as in I didn't want 3 more Shovel Knight expansions but I didn't want this either. Hopefully there are enough people that want knock-off Link's Awakening that this makes its budget back. I just know I liked Shovel Knight a lot and I'm not interested in this.
>>738596202AIslop
>>738597710So did everyone else, SK's popularity seemed to vanish overnight after the pronoun patch dropped
>>738579309>from the people that brought youThis has actually been tainted by the likes of Back 4 Blood, Outer Worlds, Mighty Number 9, etc.
