Why is it not as beloved as the original game?

no n64 port
released in 2000 and not 1998

I thought it was considered better? More people have probably played the original, due to it being on N64 and PC as well.

Because MML2 is not as soulful. That first game's hub world is extremely comfy. Also, the Bonnes have less of a spotlight in the second game.

+ better graphics engine
+ better controls
+ removed that shit 'shield break' mechanic
+ loli butt

- music not as great as 1
- no comfy Kattelox setting where everyone knows who you are
- Volnutt's VA is different, worse, grating even
- introduces shitty side villains no one asked for
- that fucking quiz
- ends on a sequel tease that never gets resolved

I think it's a great game, but it's a lot harder than the first one. Casuals already get filtered hard by most Mega Man games, so they probably think MML2 a piece of shit. The Class S license test would make them rip their hair out.

I really think the series could have been a hit if they had done anything with it outside of the PS1. Capcom clearly just wasn't quite ready to do this kind of 3D ARGP style game on PS1 hardware, plus it took a while for developers to really get a handle on things like how third person shooters ought to control. All of that was ironed out in the 6th gen, but Legends gets to forever remain this relic of slightly janky early 3D design, and it's a bit of a shame.

it had less heart and charm. legends just oozed with personality and the world felt alive: you felt like you were part of cattlelox island.

Legends 2 is how modern 3d action games control.

>> No.8215660

I actually prefer MML2 just for the non-dungeon action areas, which I wish there were more of. It might have the fucking water dungeon but in comparison all the ones in MML1 were also boring as fuck.

>> No.8215680

>>8215584
Maybe in a bare bones sort of way, but the 6th gen had Capcom busting out DMC, RE4, and Okami, and then you look back at Legends where you kind of just slowly strafe around enemies, for the most part.

Exactly, Kattlelox feels huge and enhances the exploration theme of the series
>>8215660
I think opposite of almost everything you said. I prefer MML for overworld and enjoy MML2's ruins. Specially Nino ruins

>> No.8216004

>>8214791
my favorite part of MML was the giant dungeon that interconnected more as you got new weapons
2 does the BIG EPIC sequel thing by making you travel around the world, so they couldn't have that connectedness. you just pick islands off a menu
gameplay is generally better in 2, especially the combat, and a lot of the set pieces are cool. but i never gave a fuck about those in the first place so i just got bored. plus the side quests are the worst shit ever. quizzes?

Absolute brainlet take. Shamefully offensive taste.

Second one really is a sequel in the truest sense, as in you’d need to have played the first one to fully appreciate it. Fleshes the story out a lot and expands upon mechanics from the first game. Unfortunately this doesn’t necessarily make it a better game for newcomers, and so it filters them a lot more easily than the first game does.

>> No.8216048

1 is a neat dungeon crawler exploration game with a great hub town marred by the fact that it came out before dual analog was a thing
2 has dual analog controls, but now has separate Ocarina of Time style themed dungeons that aren't very good and no hub town plus too many boring shooting gallery set pieces that feel like padding

Incest or incest coding is like the most popular fetish ever. People want to be close to someone for a long time, and THEN fuck them. It's an understandable fantasy.

Wrong.

It's because katalox Island is one of the comfiest and also most mysterious locations in all of video games, and the npcs are really alive too.

Legends 2 meanwhile takes place spread across a bunch of tiny locations instead of 1 big one. They wanted the game to feel bigger, but it ended up feeling smaller.

mmho.net isn't a good source to get opinions from instead of your own. It is the website that rated BN4 higher than 3, 5 and 6, and Kickstarted the meme of "only Mega Man 1-3 were good solid games, 4-6 weren't", even though 1 plays like garbage, 2 flickers like a motherfucker and 3 is incomplete.
