Imagine pitching this idea to American business men in the 1980's? They would laugh at it . "Rollwoman?" "What the fuck is this faggot shit?!" And then they'd take a break. Some one at the meting would go do a bunch of lines of coke in the men's bathroom, come back and say: "I got it! We could just replace her with a character called MegaMan!"

Mega Man Powered Up was fun because it had hours and hours of shitty busywork to get through beating every level with every single Robot Master on every difficulty, but my favorite was ROLL! She wasn't very good but I could play using her Mega Man 8 attire so I was very happy. Plus they let you download Protoman so you didnt have to do the missions to actually unlock him
I spent so many hours chipping away at the % on Powered Up. Only PSP game I still own come to think, my PSP broke forever ago

Or, y'know, whatever the navi equivalent of fucking is. According to a diary entry in Starforce 2, after Lan and Mayl fucked, their son got a NetNavi named MegaMan Junior that combined the code of MegaMan and Roll as if they fucked too, shame we never see him.

Either way, I don't remember that much stuff locked in MMPU that you would need to grind for. Pretty much just slide and charged shot versions of Rock, neither of which got much use. Well, Protoman too, but you could also get him as a free DLC.

If you need rewards to justify playing a game then maybe you just don't really enjoy it as much as you think you do. I beat Mega Man 1 on NES countless times because I just had fun playing it.

>> No.9409683

>>9409662
So, you're against the game offering more to people that like it more than you do?
I don't mind either way as long as it's not something core to the game. Whining about how you need to play the game in one way before being able the play the game the other way that is virtually the same is silly.
If anything, not being able to unlock Roll without an internet connection is a bigger deal, especially now when the servers finally died.
