Do you actually like the game play? I think the setting is cool, but I could never look past the gameplay or huge infodumps at the tail end of each game to really be a fan of them.

Personally, I like the Zero games best followed closely by the NES classic ones.

[NESfag No.3973269]

>>3971145
Like in Burner Man stage, with the giant flotting robots dropping fire that takes up to half of the screen. It's almost impossible not to get hit during that part no matter how good your reflexes are, at least until you learn every single enemy placement by heart and start shooting in prediction of that.
For instance half way through that part, the layout splits and you can take a upper route for a very short moment. If you take the upper route one of those giant thingies comes hitting you super fast and the only way to avoid it is to slide backwards a split second before the thing even spawns.

There there are the centipedes in ground man stage, not the mini boss one, the smaller ones that keep coming out of holes. Most of them are super hard not to get hit against unless you know precisely how to kill them and where, so you have just enough time to make it before a 2nd one spawns.

Then there are level design when you have to go down, but can't see what's down there, only to fall into spikes or mines, and that was playing the original version, I don't even want to think of the GBA port.

I loved MM&B, but there is a bullshit like this in almost every single level. Thankfully I'm patient and there isn't enough of it to make me dislike the game, but it still hinders gameplay and prevents the game from being truly great.
It's only when my friend played the game after me that I realized the amount of BS moments.

[Anonymous No.3976132]

Without ice or upgrades, I'd at least make sure to bring Storm Eagle's weapon. Whatever weapon you actually use against him, you'll have to learn Spark Mandrill's patterns and get good at jumping over his attacks.

What's up with these rooms in X2? I've found several empty rooms like this in game. The radar weapon acts like there is something in the middle, and also the silk weapon doesn't work in any of the room, but works if you just do one step outside.

is it a glitch or is there something there?

[Anonymous No.3976254]

That last section of burner man's stage is definitely quite bullshit, I give you that. Also burner man himself is quite tough, its probably harder to use the weapon he's weak to then your regular weapon. Never had problems with ground man though, that stage just requires some patience.

I think MM&B is interesting in that it appears that difficulty was given more focus. I remember getting game overs even on repeated playthroughes, it was cool honestly.

Do megaman 2. Metal man, woodman, Bubble man, air man, heat man then whoever else will be easy as fuck. Use pink boomerang on the dragon. It's the easiest one.

Start with MM5 and 6. They're the easiest. Then MM4, 2, 3, 1. There you'll have a steady difficulty curve.

There will be soon, it will be in Legacy Collection 2 alongside MM10 and others.

However it's most likely going to be Wii emulation anyway.

[Anonymous No.3980804]

I've always had a real soft-spot for 7, although I can understand why it's so hated.

X will always be my favorite though. I beat it every few days, at least once a week. I've probably played it more than 300 times in its entirety.

[Anonymous No.3980808]

>>3980798
Yeah, I'm trying out the dophin thing now since I have a real strong urge to play MM9 right now. I wouldn't mind picking up the colletion, but I'd rather get a new megaman than a collection.

7 has the best graphics of any MM game in my opinion. I love the sprites on it. Sound effects are pretty bad though.

Fuck you X2 an X3, who tested this shit. I'm talking about the "basic", or first, charge upgrade

[Anonymous No.3984017]

>>3983741
I thought X2 buster shot was good, If you charged it to the max you get two full charge shots, each dealing separate damage to any boss.

X3 fucked it up by making it slow as fuck and not being able to hit certain enemies. It was good in the last fight thought because it acted as somewhat of a wide barrier against the homing missiles.

[Anonymous No.3984048]

I'm too much of a pussy to beat MM2 on normal even. I really liked it and X though. The atmosphere-scum in me loves Legends. Those are the only ones I've played.

[NESfag No.3984145]

Who else absolutely loves MM8 ?

I love the art style, the sound and music design, and the animated cutscene, and the general "gameplay feel" of it. Fuck, I it even made me care about the story, in a MM game.

I've started playing X4 for the first time just now and it's reminiscent of MM8, except maybe a bit worse so far (2 levels in), but it

According to mobygames "35 people" worked on both MM8 and MMX4, no wonder, and I bet that number only includes the given credits of mobygames.
Did the same studio make the animated cutscenes in both?

you had trouble with it? i literally spent years trying to beat the flying ducks boss in the roof of wherever it was on megaman legends 2. I simply couldn't beat them, no matter what combination of weapons and buster kits i used. I'm not sure if i ever did beat them. I think i did, after like 3 years when i builded up enough will to try once again after failing a hundred times

>>3987940
btw my favourites are 8, x3 and legends (yes, the first, i just like the atmosphere of it, that the second loses because you're flying to different islands and shit) I also really like megaman 5 for some reason, probably because it's the one i played the most out of the original series

[NESfag No.3987950]

>>3987946
X3 is amazing because of the challenge. It has excellent enemy, bosses and level design.
Too bad about weapons being useless unless you charge them, and also some of the stuff to find and how to get them is a bit cryptic.

If you love 8, then you must like X4 too. Looks like they run on the same engine and a lot of people worked on both games.
