got fired from L5 games
project was such a mess the CEO had to step in personally
15 solid years of fuck ups, mistakes, cancelled games behind him
How does one fuck up so bad and consistently? Was he this much fo a screwup at Capcom too?
Keiji Inafune
He's a misunderstood genius.
he's the one who pushed for western developers to take a stab at believe capcom ips, and we all remember how that turned out
to take a stab at believe capcom ips
saar?
nah, just woke up and I'm phone posting from bed and didn't catch what swipe decided to write
that's not a streetshitter, that's a romance language native speaker, probably an italian, with a middle schooler's proficiency in english that thinks his native language's grammatical quirks, in this case omitting the verb's subject, also apply to english because he didn't pay enough attention in class or had a shitty teacher. takes one to know one.
Fucking up Mighty No.9 was his biggest turning point. He should've gone for full mature audience from X/Zero series instead of trying to cater to manchildren that is classicfag.
Phoneposter
Retard alert
no, I'm an american who just woke up a bit after 5am and didn't notice that my swipe keyboard wrote believe instead of beloved.
there are times when phone posting is not only acceptable, it's expected. I'm not going to immediately get out from my comfy blanket and sit at my computer right after waking up
Seems like a textbook case of failing upwards and letting it get to his head to me.
There are times when phone posting is not only acceptable, it's expected.
Coming from phoneposter itself, haha no. You're just a retard.
Get fucked, arthritis fingers
sole reason mml3 was cancelled
許さない...
I'm not lugging my computer into the bathroom when I take a shit
a lot of Japanese game devs take credit for the works of others and pass it off as their own artistic expression, much like how Yuji Naka is considered the "creator" of Sonic despite only being a programmer.
good morning
He should've gone for full mature audience from X/Zero series instead of trying to cater to manchildren that is classicfag.
He should have made a good fucking game. That's the core problem. The story and setting are the least important part of these kinds of games. It being more like X would not have made it good, it probably would have just resulted in even more mockery as it would have had a shitty melodramatic story to go with its shit gameplay.
Anon Babble doesn't talk about videogames anymore, they don't even talk about other topics either.
They just post "good morning saar" because someone said vibeogames.
lol remember when he was already planning for a red ash series and cartoon and a fucking theme park while he was still kickstarter-ing mn9?
He took it as a given that its trivially easy to knock out a solid mega man quickly and cheaply and it bit him in the ass. If the game had been decent and come out in a reasonable timeframe, all the red ash shit would have probably been wildly successful since he was tapping into the desire for MML3. Unfortunately he just couldn't help himself, got carried away with his multimedia empire ambitions instead of focusing on building a solid foundation first. Essentially the same problem every "cinematic universe" apeing marvel ran into.
Implying it was a theming problem.
Mighty Gunvolt Burst proves MN9 easily could have been a great game. The problem was Inafune.
Con Mans story will continue...
Bro honestly didn't get that he was carried by Capcom talent.
Classic was able to pump out sequels because it built on Fujiwara and Kitamura's incredible foundation.
X started faltering as soon as it deviated too far from the original game and only got so many sequels from brand momentum and rapid releases.
Zero nailed most of the core systems first try and had to refund the rest in the sequel. Same for Battle Network.
Legends, StarForce and ZX all tried something, then tried something else entirely for their sequels with a bit of carry over, then crashed and burned. The method just does not work unless you get a really solid framework set with game 1 and stick with it. Even then, the franchise only survived by doing cheap level pack sequels, merch sales, and being partially subsidized by Capcom's actual hit games. Only a complete moron who didn't understand how uniquely lucky he was could ever think that making two different "not Mega Man"s in a row was a good idea.
against all odds and level 5 fuckups and the stupid mobile game that probably eos-ed, we got a proper sequel to fantasy life
it was given to fucking inafune
so bad he was fired and the original director of the original game had to take over
fantasy life fans... have had a hard life...
what? He doesn't work for L5 games.
I used to think Inafune was a shady conman, but given the amount of constant fuckups, I think he GENUINELY is this stupid.
Anon you are eight years late. He joined Level 5 in 2017 and "left" in 2024, he "left" quietly and later on we find out the game he was directing had severe issues and needed a massive development overhaul.
That's code for it was so embarrasing they didn't tell everyoen until as late as possible, and only did it when they had everything already sorted out. L5 is a total disaster.
Whose idea was it to make the game multiplat? That doomed it more than anything else
The only market for the game is on the switch and the switch port is atrocious
Holy FUCK, I'm reading about it now and it's worse than that. They had to redo the following things from Inafune's game:
story
gameplay
movement
progression
overworld
UI
THAT'S ALMOST THE ENTIRE GAME
ALL THAT'S LEFT IS MUSIC AND CHARACTERS/NPCS
It's better than nothing.
tfw it turns out Dina did have a boyfriend who got her the job
it was Ben Judd of all people
Total disaster. Nintendo is gonna buy them or bail them out.
Dina also trooned out and lives in Seattle
They deserved each other. Judd is a moron horndog, and she's a borderline psycho. She went troony and is now "Alex".
That Yokai Watch reboot killed the YW franchise, right?
he never made anything good
he was just a puppet, and no he didn't create megaman, this was already talked about, the guy that created left capcom after the development ended and they didn't want to credit someone that left the company.
biggest hack in the industry
I liked Dead Rising
>got fired from L5 games
>project was such a mess the CEO had to step in personally
You mean that nft megaman knockoff didnt make money? lol who would've guessed
AK sent his original design pages to Capcom to show off in their museum, and it's an obvious sublte fuck you to Inafune.
rockman-corner.com
Inafune's NFT never launched, meaning it's yet another failed project. How has he not offed himself yet?
what are you reading this from?
No, the Fantasy Life sequel.
funny because he didn't create that one neither
he was the producer on the project, aka, the manager business man
Guy is a genuine impostor.
I think it's pathological or psychiatric thing that keeps him gling at this point.
What is this guy trying to go for with that haircut?
this
Inafune might be the atual biggest fraud in the industry, all of his fame came from projects that he didn't create
Was he this much fo a screwup at Capcom too?
the more you look into the stuff he worked on, the funnier he gets
he's like a real life mr bean, he just kept accidently achieving success for being in the right room at the right time while other talented people did the work
reading old interviews with him is hilarious
there were many ridiculously good games released under him with Inafune as the producer or director. even if he made blunders, the legacy he left is already enough to put 99.99% of other developers to shame.
t. Keiji
nice try Inafune
sole reason mml3 was cancelled
that's bullshit tho
he was the sole reason why megaman had so many projects going on in the first place. There literally wouldn't have been a MML series without him, nor was MML3 cancelled by him
There literally wouldn't have been a MML series without him
every
single
time
I can't believe that there still are Inafune shills on this board.
Anon Babble is about trannies and indians
Total disaster. Nintendo is gonna buy them or bail them out.
The only thing worthwhile about Level-5 is their CEO and that guy is near 60, wouldn't sell and is fixated on trying to create a successful multimedia franchise.
He was always an ideas man and much talented people actually made "his" games.
When are we getting MN9 for Vita?
anon...
He's the Yuji Naka of Japan.
He's a con man. Simple as.
Based Japanese Molyneux
I was looking forward to Fantasy Life i. Hopefully they managed to fix his fuck ups but this doesn't look good at all.
Except he doesn't make exorbitant promises he makes feasible ones and still doesn't deliver
Hiroi took over and Level 5 had like all their manpower touch it up, it even caused delays for their other games, so hopefully it works out.
Anon Babble doesn't talk about videogames anymore
they never ever did.
con everyone into thinking you're the creator of mega man
con your backers
con level 5
just con man things
Despite his whining about being the hero to save Japanese gaming, he was clueless, and didn't know that the west was about to self-implode for various reasons.
I dunno, under his leadership capcom actually made cool new IP like lost planet.
What is this guy trying to go for with that haircut?
It was a trendy haircut in like 2003, and he hasn't updated his look since then.
Thank You Con Man
Hiro explains that development on the project shifted to include Level-5 studios from all across Japan, not just the Osaka studio that was initially working on the game.
omg, the "Osaka studio" is Comcept themselves. Comcept and Inafune was in charge of the entire game, and it was a total shit show that they had to bring in the rest of the company to entirely re-work the game. I think this places some of Inafune's other fuck-ups into perspective like Kaoi King of Pirates, Mighty number 9, etc. He and his team of inexperienced idiots dick around on a game, it's terrible, and some outsider has to come in and say how bad it is. King of Pirates was outright cancelled by Marvelous after several years with nothing to show for it, since Inafune's team apparently had made no progress.
What is this guy's malfunction? You hire people, have goals, and then make a game.
But what if I don't work and take a paycheck instead? (laughs)
He may in fact, be genuinely that stupid and bad at management. it sounds like the troubles at Comcept aren't just Inafune, it's everything top to bottom. L5 might have to clean house and replace a lot of the workers there with more experienced people. Comcept and their office in Osaka is rebranded as L5 Osaka Office - removing Comcpet name entirely.
Nothing good about it.
there are times when phone posting is not only acceptable, it's expected
False. Phone users should be range banned from all sites. This would dramatically increase post quality everywhere.
Who is Yoshinori Kawano? He seems to have been pretty involved.
do you know what the producer does retard?
because it's exactly what anon said, they get games made
Yoshinori Kawano
Dead Rising director. Inafune's input is getting the project started, and saying it should be about a mall and zombies. Everything else is the team that created it.
mobygames.com
And funny enough, you can see and feel MML DNA in Dead Rising, and Lost Planet, so while the game itself failed, it was an early 3D experiment that led to more successful games.
Whose the game he made that your annoyed by him this much?

SAAAR?
Everything else is the team that created it.
Yeah, I think too often people put way too much credit on a single person, when in reality it's always been a team effort. People did this all the time with people like Kojima or Shinji Mikami.
Soul Sacrifice Delta
I'm mad he made it because the fact it's a masterpiece makes me seethe so much, I just want to call him a hack and dilate :(
Mikami and Kojima are at the very least actual directors. All fo the autistic bullshit dialoague and stories in Kojima's games are 100% his for good or for worse. Mikami is also very talented, but he has a tendency when he is given full control, to make gmaes full of injokes and irony. Note how Dino Crisis has a lot of quips, and levity compared to Resident Evil games. Made worse with Re4, Godhand, etc. I enjoyed those games, but you can see how Mikami doesn't seem to want to make "serious" titles and undermines the sometimes serious horror settings.
Word is that Mikami wanted a cyborg and smart talking black guy characters to be key team members of STARS but was denied. outright sci-fi elements would have detracted from the game. Given how other games turned out, you can bet they'd be full of quips and comedy. Note the black character is recycled for Dino Crisis, and while not horrendous, is pretty blase and annoying. Dino Crisis is in part recycling RE1 draft ideas.
yes..on the business side, NOT the creation side.
i think you're the one who don't know what a producer does kek
cope and get some reading comprehension nigger
How pic related managed to avoid Scam-man's BS? Seriously, its is only game post Capcom that wasn't a disastrous failure.
What project was he working on for L5?
all the games he's related that are good are 100% thanks to everyone else, he had virtually no input believe me
all the games he's related to that are bad are exclusively his fault guys
maybe... just maybe... have you scornful sissies considered that he's a businessman who pretty much has nothing to do with these games beyond getting them funded?
A lot of cases in games have a lead guy who steers the ship and who the project would fail without. It's just that Inafune absolutely is not that.
Wasn't like 99% of the work done by Sony Japan Studios?
Fantasy Life 2.
Better argument: dude does the bare minimum. When others pick up his slack, you usually get good games. When they don't or can't, it's shit.
The onus is on him for being a shit boss.
Fantasy Life 2.
How is it even possible to fuck that game up?
"better argument: (repeats the same shit I had put in quotes)"
incredible, zero self-awareness
This. And it very could have been "first game is like Classic, second game is like X". I mean, they made their own diet Zero.
dishonest argument, as >707888961 said, those guys actually are involvid in the creation of the product, story wise, gameplay wise, and so on.
Inafune are mostly involved on the producer/money manager, which is important, but he didn't created anything people say he did.
How is it even possible to fuck that game up?
How is it possible to fuck up inazuma, layton, and decapolice?
Ask Level 5
Oh excuse me, I meant INAFUNE BAD IT'S HIS FAULT (ignore all the other level5 games in dev hell pls)
You took the onus off Inafume when it's absolutely his responsibility as a producer to actually create the work environment and collaborate with the director to get shit done. You're arguing "oh well he just isn't involved, he's just a money man" when being a producer includes many more responsibilities than just budget acquisition. Dev interviews and artbook snippets paint the picture pretty clearly: he provided very little oversight, often didn't manage projects well, and would just do or say or demand shit at a moment's notice.
That's not just "oh, he's a money guy, it's not his fault!" It's a dereliction of responsibility.
out of an argument i see..
and you once again, repeated "when it's bad it's on him, when it's good it's not" because you're personally seething at this dude and so you apply a double standard to cope
Kaoi King of Pirates
reveal trailer was 13 years ago
Oh fuck I was still in highschool when this was shown off.
youtube.com
this looks like shit and extremely low budget so I'm not surprised they dropped it honestly, it probably never got further than this cheap animation and some concept art
Apparently nothing was done on the game outside the CGI trailers. It was total chaos, but unless we get specific interviews, we won't know specifics of what went wrong. Given Inafune's subsequent track record of management, we can just assume the same shit went on with Fantasy Life.
It's a 3DS title, hense the simplistic designs. If actually made it would look good for a 3Ds title. Famitsu published what look like in-game screenshots, and looks pretty good for 3DS. I heard the CGI trailer was outsourced to Chinese, making me question what, if anything, was ever done on the game.
What if he just sat back for 4 years and collected money for the game, while the team worked on Inafune's games?
Dam, and I probably would have bought it for the 3DS
having merch already before the game is even out
The signs were there.
Famitsu published what look like in-game screenshots
not to be an annoying "nu huh not real" faggot but those are most likely not real gameplay, just concept shots with some posed 3d models to give an idea to higher ups of what it's kinda going to look like
That's not a double standard, you colossal retard. It's an understanding that someone can actively do a bad job and things can turn out good in spite of that.
X7 being a shitshow is OBJECTIVELY his fault, as explained in Complete Works: he started the project with an undersized team given terrible direction and no pre-pro time. He then nabbed a full team mere MONTHS before launch date who went "What the FUCK?! How do we fix this now?!"
That's not "ohhhh, bro, he dindu nuffin!" you cocksucker.
LOLOLOLOLOL
I don't think there was a more obvious red flag than her that dumbasses (who were merely vaguely aware of the MN9) still defended in the name of white knighting. Little did we know a whole deluge of these bitches would flood the entire industry in the following decade.
She is a classic Borderline Personality Disorder. Always plays victim, sexually promiscuous, and even gender dysphoria is a common trait. They also will switch from loving someone to hating them, which might explain her beef with Judd.
the perfect villain. I need to find some more data on these girls.

Most SJW ladies have strong narcissistic tendencies, and some are outright BPD or NPD.
Yeah, they absolutely could've gone that route—set up a clear tonal and mechanical shift like with MM to MMX. Instead, they Frankenstein’d mechanics and tone from all over the place with none of the polish or identity. Diet Zero is the perfect way to describe it—like they wanted the cool factor without understanding why Zero worked in the first place.
My colleague has all of these apparently, how can I help him?
Therapy, but usually people like this is better to stay away because they are aware of all of this and never change, even if is fucking up their lives
Tell them to get a diagnosis from a psycholgist, and try to get a DBT therapist. DBT is the spin-off of CBT for CPTSD and DBT - managing emotional dysregulation. 90% of therapists are CBT based and it doesn't work for them.
He was the reason why capcom had one of the worst eras in 2006-2011
the era of re5 and sf4
one of the worst for capcom
Are you high
Dead Rising and SF4 were godly. It's the "Inafune project era" from 2009-2014 that was dreadful. They forced him out in 2010, but he bought Capcom Vancouver, ordered DmC, got
I'm old enough to remember Anon Babble threads about how Capcom was in dire straights in 2012 and might go bankrupt or something. How things changed? Monster Hunter literally kept them alive during this time period.
