Lots of Capcom series are dead. 1942, Ace Detective, Viewtiful Joe. Just because they don't slop out a game every year doesn't mean people didn't enjoy those series. Grow up /v/edditor

It was called jank all the way back in 1998, especially when people were more cynical than today about transitions into 3D.

[Anonymous No.7843440]

>>7843427
It got a greatest hits release, and was ported to N64/windows/psp. The game was popular. Try harder next time. Now fuck off back to /v/

>1942
You can only make so many entries in a shoot-em-up series before you need to put it down.
>Viewtiful Joe
Kamiya-born series that died because Kamiya left. Also sold like shit.
>Ace Detective
What? You mean Attorney? It's not even dead, international versions of the latest games just got announced a few weeks ago.
>MML
"Well liked" spin-off to one of Capcom's titans, yet has been stuck on a cliffhanger for 2 decades.
You need to stop deluding yourself.

Funny, those ports are ranked even worse than the PS1, and in all of them they rail against how bad the game was to begin with.

I'm being charitable with the 64 port, they were much harsher with the PC version.

You guys keep posting this shit all the damn time. I occasionally browse this board while bored, for about a year now, yet this is the first time I feel called to really speak out on something. Second fucking thread THIS MONTH I have seen already. I will tell you something, fellas. I loved this fucking game as a kid. I had my parents buy it from a rental games store. Now, I never GAVE A FUCK about Megaman's franchise, at all, I still don't. Mega Man LEGENDS, however? That was and still is a goddamn masterwork of videogames. If you're gonna just parrot the views of others who WEREN'T THERE; then you can fuck off. To everyone else who appreciates the series, thank you for remembering one of my happiest childhood memories. I'm turning 30 years old in July. Its been a long time since I felt happy from any form of media that MML brought me. So yeah. That's my post.

I liked this game ever since it came out. I only had an N64 so playing a huge 3D action RPG with tons of voice acting was a big deal.

Also it's aged relatively well, I'd say out of the 'ambitious' 3D games it's one of the best of that generation.

[Anonymous No.7843537]

That is legitimately a good game tho. It has many good features.

it's all in the soundtrack
you can suffer through a terrible game for an amazing soundtrack, lots of people love Chrono Cross after all

[Anonymous No.7843565]

Mega Man is the most oversequeled and redundant franchise in existence and still the fanboys whine about how neglected it is. If fifty Mega Man games were erased from existence and we got one sequel to literally any other Capcom game in return, it would be a priceless bargain.

[Anonymous No.7843579]

Back in the day I heard legends was trash and assumed it was true until I played it on 64 in 2019 and loved it.

The only franchises Capcom hasn't killed are Street Fighter and Resident Evil.

[Anonymous No.7844568]

>>7843460
So two points in and you already admit that Capcom killed franchises for reasons that had nothing to do with likability and were rather about a lack of creativity or sales? Shit argument.

It's not good at all, but I like playing Sonic R a lot. It can be pretty fun to unlock everything, and something about running around in those environments is super comfy.

Only the N64 port was bad. I'll always look back at MML fondly.

They're the exact same game

[Anonymous No.7844818]

>>7844757
this, besides lack of the music jukebox. i think the new control scheme actually made it slightly better version, not that either version control great.

Legends 2 is a vast improvement on all fronts and was actually fun, where as the first just feels kinda like obvious test of how to work with 3D. 2 feels like a legit jump of the series to 3D

[Anonymous No.7844856]

>>7843501
The game nails atmosphere. Being underground is fucking scary and the reverbots are cold and alien, but the risk is totally worth it, especially when you find something Roll can make a weapon out of. Being above ground is mostly joyful, exploring the island and advancing the plot, running into the bonnes and getting cut scenes. This game was also my introduction to a ton of anime tropes, which made it fairly novel in my eyes. Sure the camera and targeting were difficult, but that was the case with literally every game, so no one cared.

Have you never plays Megaman 64? It's horrid. The textures are all muddled and brown looking, the render distance is awful, the voices are compressed all to hell. It is not the "exact same game". It's still playable, but it's a terrible impression for someone who's never played it before.

But Mega Man isn't one series.
Mega Man
Mega Man X
Mega Man Legends
Mega Man Battle Network
Mega Man Zero
Mega Man ZX
and arguably Mega Man Starforce are all their own series. It's similar to how 2D and 3D Marios and Zeldas are considered separate series of games.

Not enjoying it is fine, but if you didn't like Earthbound's battle system I highly doubt you like turn based JRPGs anyway. The rolling HP counter, the way enemies flee from you and get instakilled if they do run into you, being able to see enemies and run into them from behind for a free hit and even despawn them if you don't want to face them all make it extremely dynamic and the opposite of boring.

RPGs are my favorite genre. I beat NES Final Fantasy II last night and still finding it more compelling than Earthbound. It’s not just the combat that makes it boring, it’s a combination of the pacing, the jank, the dull and lifeless music (outside of Onette); and the story. This game gets a pass because it had a dark and out of place ending that is admittedly cool, but it doesn’t justify horrendously boring journey.

[Anonymous No.7845923]

>>7843492
I played this as a kid and I liked it a lot. That's not to say anything about its quality, I know it's not that great.
What hurt the game the most IMO is the lack of tracks. 5 tracks (I think) for a full-fledged game is garbage-tier. If it had gone the Mario Kart route with 16 tracks (and different ccs, I can't remember if Sonic R had multiple difficulties) and same amount of unlockable characters, I think this could have been a legitimately good game. And as somebody else has said, the soundtrack is banging.
