>So in other words, nothing since MM8 has only the one flaw I mentioned already. And just as I thought, you're wrong on all your other points as well.
Hey, don't take things so personal. I'm not insulting you or anything. I'm just getting across my point of why Mega Man 8 is my least favorite Classic game.

>Opinions.
If you play any song from Mega Man 1-7, Mega Man and Bass, or 9, I can tell you exactly which level from which game it's from. I can't do that with 8 because the entire soundtrack is completely forgettable. Not to mention that remixes of music from Mega Man 5, 6, 7, and even Mega Man and Bass are far more common than remixes from 8. I would say that general consensus is that 8's soundtrack is weaker than the rest of the series.

>No E-Tanks
>No need for them.
We've had them since Mega Man 2, and that's generally considered the best game of the series. There's no good reason why E-Tanks were removed other than to frustrate the players.

>Rush Coil was replaced by the mega ball
Which completely removed the entire reason why Rush was in the game. I know how to use the ball, but the ball is boring and has no character. We might as well have gotten Item 2 back to replace Rush Jet.

>You don't need anything from the shop
Then why does it exist? The shop was one of the funnest parts of Mega Man V (GB) and Mega Man 7. 8 throws the fun of it completely out the window.

>Git gud. It's easily the most fun part of MM8 once you do so.
You can say that about any hard or tedious game. But no, the rocket sled is the least fun part of 8. The Wily levels with it require a hell of a lot of luck and more memorization than any Boss pattern in the history of the Mega Man franchise to get past them. Mega Man X6 wasn't anywhere near as frustrating as that was.
