I grew up owning only Mega Man IV as a kid (we were really poor) and I played it every single motherfucking day of my life 'til I could finally get to the last boss on a consistent basis.

It is Ok. There are some annoying things in it and level design can be a bit shit sometimes but I suppose you can get used to it. Enemy respawns are pretty vicious, and there are quite a few glitches.

Its still a really good game, well worth playing. I dunno about top 3 nes games when theres tecmo bowl and twinbee and stuff but its definitely essential.

>> No.6309424

>>6308687
9 is the best. Level design flow is excellent, challenge is just spot on.

It's nearly flawless.

There are plenty of hacks which make MM games better. Lag reduction patches, bug fixes, etc

For MM3, there is "Improvement" which gets rid of all lag, fixes a lot of glitches, and also has some other additions/changes which you may or may not like
http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/992/

For Rockman 4 (doesn't work with MM4), lag reduction patch, there are two patches, one "standard" lag reduction, and another one which also changes other things like being able to switch weapons on the fly (but also gets rid of the autoscroll sections...)
http://www.geocities.jp/borokobo/zip/Rock4Optimization_v3.zip

For Rockman 5, but these ones also works with MM5. Lag reduction patch:
http://www.himaq5.xyz/rock5easily/archive/rock5_lite.zip
Lets you switch weapons on the fly (select, down+select, select+start):
http://www.himaq5.xyz/rock5easily/archive/rock5_weaponselect.zip

Rockman 6 (does not work with MM6):
Lag reduction patch but also speeds up the process of many things, like loading times, scrolling when entering a room, etc:
http://www.geocities.jp/borokobo/zip/Rock6Optimization101.zip
Fixed sliding. In the original MM6, and unlike other MM games, you couldn't jump during a slide, plus there is a small delay, wait time, at the end of a slide. This fixes both:
http://www.geocities.jp/borokobo/zip/Rock6FixSlide2.zip
With both patches applied, RM6 becomes 100% more fun.

Also, play as Protoman in MM5 with all his abilities from MM9-10

Anyone wanna break this down for me? I keep counting rows but recognizing guys rows ahead. Ie I remember the centuar dude thought he was from 5/6 but he's way up there. Light bulbed head guys on upper rows were later-game bosses I thought. Even 3 rows in I don't recognize a few in the first rows but I counted at least 22 enemies recognized from 1-3. AGH!

Just realized this probably has 7, R&F, 8,9, and 10 on the upper rows. Didn't beat the Snes editions and only played 8 so its making more sense to my confusion.

that a legit criticism, it's definitely the easiest of the 6. but I'd argue that isn't too much easier than the rest of the classic series (outside of maybe 1), especially after you've beaten them once.

it's really hard to rank the series because I love all of them, and if you asked me next week my answer would probably be different, but I'd go

3 = 5 > 2 > 6 > 4 > 1

Can we all agree that Capcom's style pretty much defines how the public see the "NES style"? Remember everyone making their "8 bit sprites" and they were all Mega Man edits? That's an example.

Shadow Man stage in MM3 is top "NES". Everything about that stage just screams "classic NES", the graphics, the musics, the gameplay

Yes, if something is harder for whatever reason, it must be better. In fact, ALL games should have ice physics all the way through, I wouldn't want to be considered a casual now, would I?

>> No.6312407

>>6312364
Momentum would improve most action/platformers, yeah. Games with characters that control like a mouse cursor are more boring for it. But like everything that takes some finesse and/or an instinctive sense for how objects move and interact in the physical word (this is especially tough for the genetic disasters that are nerds) it was smoothed away for and by smoothbrains

>> No.6312410

>>6312407
Yeah, I don't think so. NES games wouldn't remove something because people thought it was too hard, quite the opposite, in fact. You're trying really hard, the change was made after the first game because they knew they fucked up. Next time, pick a better hill to die on.

>> No.6312431

>>6312358
how dare a company appeal to the 99% of the market that doesn't like ice levels. how despicable it is to make a game that people actually enjoy with good movement. games should be designed to be as frustrating as possible. your bullets should actually have a spread and fire up to 45 degrees away from where you're trying to shoot. fucking retard.

Then you should replay them. I've actually been replaying them all in the past few days, again. So far I've done 3,4,5,6,9,10, 11, MMV GB, MM1 GB

No two person would rate MM games the same; but more importantly, opinion will change with time as you replay them.

Long ago I used to think 5 was the best. Now I think it's the worst classic one by far, and I could back that up with objective facts

I genuinely think 9 and 11 are the bests.
Most old MM games were either done in just 3 months (MM2, MM3, MM7), or were done by B-Teams made up of newcomers (MM5, MM6).

Meanwhile for MM9-10-11, the devs were more experienced, and had DECADES to figure out what works and what doesn't. They generally have a much better flow, balance, and a lot less flaws.
