The fact that they're making pizza jokes is actually getting genuine smirks out of me.
I'm a little wary of stream chats. I've had bad experiences with them. (The people in the little chats on the side can get really racist or vulgar or whatever from time to time.)
EDIT: I'm a little tired and need to get to bed, so I'll settle with making a lame joke in the stream and leaving.

I'm watching the stream, I've seen very little of the actual game and only heard of all the controversies tied to it

The MN9 reviews aren't bothering me that much.
First, I tend to view 5-6 review scores as being "average/okay" rather than part of the "forbidden numbers below 7."
Second, I always planned on getting MN9 during a sale even though I backed the Kickstarter. I gave $5 as a sign of good will towards Inafune because Mega Man 2 was one of my favorite games and I watched the cartoon as a kid, I was into the Mega Man fandom as a teen playing the Anniversary collection, X collection, Battle Network, and Zero series (and I read waaaaay more Mega Man sprite comics during the early-mid 00's than anyone reasonably should've), and because I wanted to participate in backer voting and surveys.
Third, I'm not that emotionally invested in MN9. While MN9 was pitched as a Mega Man spiritual successor, I never viewed it as something to place my hopes and dreams for the future of Mega Man's gameplay on. I just want to enjoy MN9 as its own game and a fresh start; in my mind Mega Man is in one corner and MN9 will be in another. Or maybe swept under a rug, depending on how my experience with the actual game ends up.

Well, if anyone's interested, Ben is livestreaming MN9 and addressing some of the concerns about "pizza explosions" and such. I'm there too! That chat was brutal.

Or maybe swept under a rug, depending on how my experience with the actual game ends up. I'm kind of with this as well. Aside from the Zero series, I kind of fell out of the Mega Man games during MN9's development. Furthermore, I had not played a Mega Man until March 2013, so I had very little emotional investment in the series. So that is probably why I wasn't hurt as much as other people. I was a little salty that things turned out the way they did, but I'm pretty much over it now. At least I still have Gunvolt 2 to look forward to; that game looks amazing, and I loved the first game.

You know, I'm starting to wonder if all of these reviews are actually reflective of the true game or if they're simply feeding off of each other. It is no secret that video reviewer sometimes "share" a mind, can't think for themselves, Kotaku especially (I hate Kotaku). A 2/10 is ridiculous and anything below a 5 is basically like "They tried to make it bad."
This is why I'm worried about Bloodstained. PC Gaming published a very....interesting "review" of the Bloodstained Demo. To be honest, that guy was pretty polarized with the "I's" he used. "I thought this", "I thought that", "This is boring because I said so, yata yata. Anyways, it takes one bad review to ruin your day.
Lasting Advice: 1). Have Faith 2). Play it for yourself 3). Don't let people think for you 4). Hate Kotaku with all of your heart
Edit: This is getting harsh...ouch.

So, I'm hearing reports that the Wii U version is hardlocking/bricking the console. Can anyone confirm?
If you can confirm, I hope it's not due to first hand experience.
Wii U version is also reported to be having irritating loading times and sketchy frame rate.
EDIT: Oh! Oh! Let's talk about some more problems with MN9's launch.
1. Codes sent via Humble Bundle
2. No E-Mail regarding the codes was sent, and codes were in an odd spot to start.
3. People got two Retro Hero DLC codes and people weren't getting Ray DLC codes.
4. 360 version got another delay.

Wii U version is also reported to be having irritating loading times and sketchy frame rate. It was in some rare instances they rushed out a patch which is live now. Be sure you update before playing.

Why all critic AND user reviews are so negative?
I can't be the only one who think mn9 looks OK. I know about the drama during development(the ugliest one was how one female fan who's not so popular suddenly became comcept employee&mn9 community manager). BUT it seems like people are bashing the game for fun. Its like they just "go with the flow" and enjoy bashing the game.
Or is the gameplay really sucks that bad? Well, I won't judge until I've played the game myself.

I hated dealing with comcept and those fanboy white knights on their official forum,in order to get your code for the game you literally had to jump through hoops and seemingly keep contacting them to remind them that you needed a platform survey and they would send you to some other website fill out some rubbish and filters for your email and even then it did not work and I had to have someone from the forum do it manually
Last night I get the code try putting it in,does not even work I'm not going to lie while some of you may be shocked how bad this game is bashed I am not,the whole thing is a mess from the pizza explosions the bugs to a lot of the backers codes not working,the vulgar advertising taking fun at its own fanbase,This game had so many signs of being a low scored game
and while some of it has to do with merely how poorly comcept has handled this game overtime,the game itself in graphics and performance is not amazing,better smoother looking kickstarter games have been done with a mere portion of their budget and some of the bosses like ray look terrible and sound terrible...the voice acting was about as bad as megaman X7 with him

Even Sega's award-winning Sonic the Hedgehog twitter account chimed in on the launch issues. I thought it was funny, but at the same time... ouch.

Y u so hrd 2 please?!
More seriously, I do have a friend who has the XB1 version of the game, and he's trying to be positive about it. He was actually planning in streaming the game, but MN9 wouldn't cooperate with the XB1's streaming system. So he's settling for tossing me some notes regarding the play experience.

Ben Judd was actually the one who said "It's better than nothing" but due to poor journalism and horrible out of context quoting by said journalism we have another meme on our hands.
I won't defend the game but it seems to me like those articles were deliberately trying to stir the pot, and I can't approve of that.
