Solid reviews I say! Can't wait for this game!

It seems to have some (pretty minor?) issues based on the demo but overall I enjoyed the feeling of it.

Definitely need to buy this ASAP. As a self respecting old school gamer this is a no brainer.

Day 1 for me. Will purchase so I can play tonight at 12 eastern. Any word on parity between ps4/xbone and switch? I wanna get the best one.

I expected 80 before I clicked the thread

These type of smaller games from AAA studios will always score around this range unless they really fuck up

Mega Man 9 + 10 scored right in the same range for example

Sounds great and I like the updated art style.

Will definitely pick this up soon. Hopefully we'll get a new X next.

All I wanted was more Mega Man with a fresh coat of paint, and it looks like that is what we are getting.

As a huge Mega Man fan I'm glad this is doing very well, I enjoyed the demo and will get this on the Switch!

Doubtful. I bet it will sell pretty well on the Switch at least.

It was probably a pretty low-budget production to be honest, anyway. The fact that it's just $30 says enough.

I'm buying it on everything except the Switch myself.

Also I read a review earlier that said it was overpriced, and even some people who say they love Mega Man agree? Never a good sign when the fans are treating it like that, but that's been the story of Mega Man for a long time...

Those "fans" are dumb.

It definitely sounds solid.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like they went above and beyond with extra features like additional playable characters or anything like that. But if the core gameplay is solid, that's enough for me.

Throw this shrimp on the barbie if you'd like: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/10/mega-man-11-review-switching-gears/

Ars Technica said:
While Mega Man 11 doesn't completely eradicate the tried-and-true Mega Man formula, it isn't afraid to make changes big and small to the way a mainline franchise game looks, feels, and plays. Not all of these changes are for the better, but enough of them are worthwhile that the break from form seems worth the effort. Here's hoping for more regular releases that mix old-school nostalgia with more modern experimentation from Mega Man's creators.

We know about Pro and X support?
It's definitely 4K on the X. The demo looks razor sharp.

Pro might also be 4K, but it didn't look exactly as sharp to me, so I'm not entirely sure. I did not notice any real differences beyond resolution, even compared to the Switch version, although it's possible they exist.

Having played only the old MegaMan games only, does it have a story which make sense as a sequel or it is just "Yep, the Doctor AGAIN released a bunch of robots and that it".

Everything just comes off as a bit too smooth in this new 3D-modeled world, from Mega Man's familiar four-frame running animation to bosses that now telegraph their attack with grand, sweeping gestures. The added sense of depth makes everything look a bit too rounded and shiny, too

yeeeeah I'm gonna safely ignore this review lol. I had 9 and 10 for nostalgia, that's plenty enough.

I know he's burned his reputation to the ground and is a farce of the industry at this point, but can someone send Keiji Inafune a fruit basket or something? I can't imagine how it must feel to get outdone on this scale.

Alright, if anyone read it, what's up with that "Spoiler" OT listing a bunch of (potential?) Spoilers for the game? Are those actually spoilers for MM11 talked over in the thread?

Kinda surprised how good the reviews are; I thought the demo felt terrible to play. I was having a lot of issues with inputs not registering properly and Megaman generally not handling the way I wanted him to (especially in the moving wall portions of the demo stage). I was playing on Switch; are there any issues with that specific version of the game?

Maybe I should take another look.

OP updated with more reviews and Opencritic score.

Thanks to all those who found reviews.

I will never do a review thread again.

I think he's at least earned this for his efforts

Gamespot makes me laugh as always.

If being a hard game is a negative for mega man then 9 and 10 should have gotten lower scores too. Stiff control might be a valid complaint though going by the demo.

Dang, the Gamexplain review was a bit deflating.

-No great unlocks or post-game content beyond timed challenges.
-Only 2 Wily stages??
-No surprise cameos

Seems like its a fine game, and they did review it highly, but its a bummer for a 30th Anniversary game resurgence.

Seems like a bit of a silly complaint when Capcom go out of their way to include two different easy modes for people that might not want more of a challenge. Then again, its a complaint I see every Mega Man game come review time and its always good news for me because I don't exactly want an easy Mega Man game. That'd be kinda disappointing.

Challenge mode was all I wanted personally, and that looks solid. But the Wily thing is bizarre, its usually 4-5 stages. But then again with the size of stages I wonder if they are at least larger in size. Easy Allies also pointed out the Wily Stages were the runts of the game after 8 fantastic Robot Master stages.

As for the cameos thing, again I didn't expect to see like a Zero cameo or something like that, but I've seen the fortress boss list so I kinda disagree with this one. Depending on what your definition of cameo is at least

Reviews look good, and I liked the demo. Will buy tomorrow after work. Never really been into Megaman games, but I think Capcom's resurgence warrants some kind of love from me
