/vr/ - Retro Games

I find these games cool, but not as solid as MMX. It's like they have cooler shit, but not ironed out as well to be as enjoyable as possible, and with shit seeming superfluous

I like these games, it picked up the slack for platforming Mega Man after the X series, but I feel like the expectation of clearing the stages without dying (if only to get the EX Skills) made the devs simplify the level design somewhat. Stages rarely feel as interesting as the Classic games. Feels like most of the polish went towards the bosses, who definitely twist your nuts even if you have their weakness.

How come you don't start off with the charge shot, one of the most basic Mega Man attacks? Makes the early game a slog.

Often hailed as the best in the franchise, but to me it doesn't play as well as MMX, sure the upped challenge in both gameplay level and amount of collectibles is nice, but it still feels messier

Just finished this game, it was pretty damn hard. What are your thoughts on it? Are the other games in this series also that challenging?

Who the fuck actually thought Mega Man needed jarpig tier grindan?

You should get the point by now.

Now go check "Mega Man 8" cover. The only reason it has a space is because they used a different logo altogether compared to "Rockman 8" instead of readapting the same logo.
That, is a more expensive thing to do.

Being made by Inti Creates

I've been playing these games lately and they are legitimately way tougher than even the original NES Mega Mans.Does /vr/ agree with me? Are they worth playing despite the fact that I need to restart constantly? Or do I just need to /gitgud/?

Name an X game with more forgettable music than this game.

This game is to the X series what the X series was to the classic games. It improved on an already great formula and made for what I believe to be the best Mega Man games ever made.
