It's just really cringey.

I wonder how much emphasis is on that dash mechanic, because that horrible trailer makes it look like 90% of the gameplay.

To be fair when playing megaman x I spend most of my time dashing, but that's to position for an attack. If the dash was an attack in MMX that would be way OP and that's how the trailer looked

Oh same here, I even hold the controller differently when playing MMX1-3 so I can constantly dash, and that intro stage in MMX without the dash is so awkward haha. I go to Chill Penguin immediately to get it.

But the way it looks to be implemented here just looks super... weird and not fun.

Who knows though. I still think it looks cool, but this sure has been a tiring adventure. RELEASE IT!!!

The basic gameplay loop of the game is you shoot enemies to get them to a low enough health and then dash into them for the kill. So you better be prepared to dash.

Honestly considering all of the things I didn't like about the demo, I thought the dash-absorb mechanic was alright. Though it's a change that's not going to be welcomed by everybody. I think they thought it would force people to emphasize speed running but not everyone wants to play that way.

The only thing I personally don't like about it is that when the level design is tailored around that mechanic (which is to say, usually) it's straightforward and boring.

So they released the first episode of their making of documentary late last night.

It's not that bad so far though.

Man even if I rag on the game a little myself, it's depressing to see them getting so much shit. It seems like it's destined to get slammed by the media/fans once it releases. People have already fully committed to hating it.
