That is probably a "lost in translation" thing. Japanese has plenty of turns of phrase which are entirely positive, but when literally translated have negative connotations in English. A big part of it stems from seeking to be unassertive in the language used, so it comes across as wishy-washy to our ears whereas a Japanese would simply hear it as a positive opinion.
(The giggles in class when my friend realised "you're not ugly" is a perfectly acceptable thing to say to a girl, whereas "you're beautiful" is rude...)
Shhhhh, stop being so reasonable, clearly we should all overreact and overblow another tiny little (potentially completely imagined) infraction committed by this game dev. The development of this game hasn't been a big enough shit-show yet, we gotta get those last few negative news posts trending before a couple of weeks pass and the game drifts from a talking point to barely remembered blip in history.
Seriously, the internet needs to calm its tits on this thing. Disclaimer: I've never played a mega-man game, didn't back this, and have no intention of playing it, but the gaming fandom have been complete gibbering howler monkeys at the whole thing. 'Oh no, they hired a woman as community manager and she's clearly going to change the game in a variety of ways we hate, because that's what community managers do'. 'Oh no, the trailer had a joke at anime fan's expense, and despite the fact it was from a company that obviously like anime, given they tried to kickstart one, and the fact that we will regularly decry those hated 'SJW's' for being offended too easily, we will shit a brick, and yell about our hurt feelings, with no sense of irony whatsoever'.
I mean the game does look pretty terrible, and it hasn't reviewed well, but that almost seems like it's what gamers wanted at this point, so their bitching and moaning could be vindicated.
