Plodding gameplay with obnoxious gimmicks, a dull soundtrack, and that horrible fucking voice acting. And, for some incomprehensible reason, Capcom re-committed MM7's greatest gameplay sin: splitting the Robot Masters into two sets of four. Jesus fucking wept. It's not even worth it for Sword Man's gimmicky stage.

It's a bad game.

I'm concerned that my nostalgia feels are clouding my mind here, but I loved it. In my opinion, it's the classic Megaman game that has a half decent story to go with it. I always thought the music is the type of stuff you'd hear playing at a trendy boutique of coffee shop in Japan, which I though to be a good thing. Also, many people might have hated this, but I loves those rocket snowboard segments of the game.

Love it.

Great graphics, music, sound, memorable characters, fun bosses and stages, great play, though some of the weapons are dumb (Astro Crush) and rehashes (Search Missle).

The voice acting is excellent and during that era I feel that most PSX games had great voice acting (SotN, especially). I don't understand why the game gets so much flak for the voices.

8 made the best uses for the special weapons, many being useful beyond fighting, which at that point was not seen much in MM. It wasn't until 9 came along that weapons really took off as useful tools for getting though stages.

I also really enjoy most of 8's music. It's far more subtle and percussive than any other main MM game, it takes a long time to really worm in, but after playing it so much I started to find it catchy. Especially Saturn version's Tengu. Grenade is awesome imo too.

I personally think MM8 is a pretty good game, but I don't think it's a very noteworthy Megaman game.

The whole Megaman gameplay aspect is there; however due to the lack of e-tanks, useful Rush powerups, and the overly-driven narrative (ok, I can't blame em, it was Megaman's 10th anniversary so they went all out), I was kind of put off from the game.

Also, mandatory DOCTAH WAHWEE

The game was not the best in the series by any means. But that doesn't deem it unnecessary. I thought that the game was pretty solid. It controlled like any other Mega Man game, aside from Mega Man feeling a bit more heavy. Maybe it was that way because of his bigger sprite than the NES or SNES games. I liked how you could be using a weapon and have a separate button to shoot the normal lemon shooter at the same time to conserve weapon energy. Although, like most other players, I did find the game to be very gimmicky. But I don't blame Capcom for trying to change things up after having 7 previous Megaman titles along with the parallel Megaman X titles. Redundancy is hard to avoid at that point. And of course, the voice acting was horrendous. Not the best, but not the worse. It's all based on preference, I guess.

It's been too long since I've played it so I don't really remember anything. But out of the Classic games it has my favorite in game art style. The first 6 games, 9, and 10 just blend together to me and I have a hard time telling which is which.

There is a reason why it's done like this, it's because if the auto scrolling is too fast, it's too unfair and the gameplay becomes non predictable.

That was the case to such an extent in MM8 that they HAD to tell the player what to do and when 'JUMP' 'SLIDE'

Do you like having gameplay so unpredictable to the player and so limited that the game HAS to tell you what button to press ?
That autoscrolling stage is like a giant QTE event. I don't see how that's better than slower autoscrolling in which, yes, you have to wait for the screen, but where there is also freedom, player's choices, and actual gameplay.

Anonymous Sat Jun 7 09:36:24 2014 No.1676162

Good games. The animated cutscenes from this and x4 are some kind of retro animation I enjoy.

Soundtrack is good, I really like a few stages' themes.

Bosses are cool. Game's a bit too easy I think. 7 was harder. I guess I like Megaman too much to really dislike any of his games.

I had fun even with Battle Network 4 (never played x7 though)

Ah, so that's why you're called NESfag. You're too stupid to handle anything more than what an 8bit machine is capable of. That voice really isn't needed there and you certainly have more freedom than what typical QTEs give you. I do those two stages without even thinking about what's going on and seedrunners ignore the commands altogether by megaball hopping right under the platforms. Congratulations for sucking at a game that was made with small children in mind~

MM8 wasn't the one that was hastily put together in a meager 3 months with an art team of kids working on MSPaint and without any thought put into the level design whatsoever. MM7 is arguably the only Mega Man game worse than 5.

Are there even any instances in 9 where you can open up a new path in a stage with a weapon? I thought for sure that 8 nailed their use perfectly.

I still haven't played it yet. Looks like they tried to do a Classic game in the style of X4 but it seems very out-of-place compared to the other Classic games, even MMPU. I didn't really enjoy what I played of Rockman & Forte (probably because I'm terrible at it), but I hear 8 is one of the easiest. Maybe I'll try it sometime this week. Wish I could get my hands on the superior Saturn version but I'll probably just emulate it on ePSXe or something.

Also, what did they do to the music? Aside from Tengu Man's theme (Saturn) none of it sounds very Mega Man.

The music is so fucking dull and awful. Clown Man's theme is easily the worst, most obnoxious console Megaman music that I can think of in all honesty.

Wasn't a big fan of the stages either, I didn't like the faux-shmup rush segments because they always felt braindead-easy. And even outside those most stages felt way too long.

The bosses were all right.

Overall I don't think I'm ever going to beat it again. I'd rather play MM7 even.

Well, look it it like this:

>MM1 - somewhat revolutionary, added things like limited ammo, an actual inventory and level select to action games
>MM2 - the next evolutionary step. More stages, longer game, more inventive weapons, the whole package.
>MM3 - the concept perfected. The stages, weapons and such were pretty on par with MM2, but the gameplay was where it was meant to be by this point.
>MM4 - "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". OK, maybe the stages were starting to slip in quality a small amount by then, but not mush.
MM5 - "meh, I've played this game before" And that pretty much sums it up.
MM6 - "Meh, I've played THIS game bef... Wait, what are the boss' names again!?"
>MM7 they tried to fix what wasn't broke. They only fucked up a little with things like only having access to half the robot masters at a time and the fucking sprite size and gameplay speed being just wrong. But it was playable at least.
>MM8 - "well, we got the budget for the new Megaman game, but instead, let's make the easiest, most cartoonish (in an anime way) and kiddie game we can. All while eliminating ALL of the charm, challenge and fun of the classic entries.
>MM&B - They effectively made a less shitty MM8 and added Bass as a playable character to further make up for it. Too bad it was a super famicom game that next to no one played or ever heard of...
>MM9 - the second coming of jes... Er, Megaman (MM2, specifically)
>MM10 - "Wait, they're STILL making these!?"

And there you have it. MM8 was absolute shit compared to even the second worst entry/s in the series. It's in a league of it's own and the only people who like it were children when it came out originally. So they don't know any better.

I didn't get to play 8 too much, though from I played I remember finding it a lot harder and "cheap" in comparison to the Megaman games I played at the time, the Game Boy ones.

Oddly enough, I still have good memories of Megaman and Bass... I'm sure I wouldn't if I played it again nowadays, but memory is weird. Though, Bass felt so very strange to play. He has a double jump, also couldn't move while shooting or jumping, so he wasn't really more or less mobile than Megaman, I supposed, but the contrast felt awkward.I still played as him mostly because I was an edgelord.
