The best part IMO was the Cardon Woods sub-gate. It was dark, first introduced those CLANG CLANG CLANG robots, made you think about the whole layout to solve puzzles, and to top it off it didn't have a boss. That would put you on edge, and scare the crap out of you in the next sub-gate.

Because it had a lot of atmosphere

MegaMan Legends 1 is one of the the most underrated games ever. They lost this ominous atmosphere in the second one. The entire underground was connected in 1, but in 2 it wasn’t, like wtf. Plus the character models in 2 always looked worse, Tiesel for example looks skinny and non-threatening. How I wish this series would get justice
Angel Harris
They weren't really, at least i wasn't afraid. Oot made me shit my pants tho.
Samuel Anderson
Basically this but also the entire place looks uncanny. The wavy graphics undulate as you move, make it looks like a nightmare.
Kevin Young
A combination of the music, the textures, and the emotionless deathbots.
But the music is a huge part of it.

I fucking hated how scary this game was. The music, designs of the reverbots to look like skeletons, they litteraly jump scare you. Even Old town scared me shit less with those dogs that would vehemently maul you.

Robert Taylor
some of the music was straight up resident evil
also these

>know this game like the back of my hand, so invisible one of these assholes is supposed to jump off the small pillar between the chest
>run up open chest
>turn camera around
>piece of shit uncloaks and jabs me
>actually scares the shit out of me and have to pause to breathe for a few minutes
i have never see this happen before with my hundreds of runs of legends, and it made me remember just how much i hate these fuckers

>those invis-bots

>the crab-bots that clank in the distance
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! FUCK THIS GAME! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE THIS SERIES?! IT'S NOT MEGA MAN!!!

>its rng movement managed to make it not jump
>but also jump over the gap onto the platform for the key
>and rushed you
that is some genuinely unlucky shit

Originally I felt deceived that it wasn't 3D Megaman Classic complete with robot masters and power stealing (especially because the first time I tried it was when it went by the name "Megaman 64"). But it has so much personality, it might actually be my favorite of the bunch.

I've yet to forget that horrible moment

fuck lake jyun and its gate. makes me think we had it easy in legends 2 with the nino island ruins
Anthony Hughes
I'd take pants-shitting jumpscares over that slow underwater bullshit any day.
Nicholas Barnes
>have heart attack, pants shitting jump scare by common tier enemy in waterworld
>or just slowly go through the ruins in a multi floor set of shit
im torn honestly
Asher Young
There was something terrifying to my younger self back in the day with that feeling that you were descending deeper to the bottom of the ocean. Although a lot of it deflated for me with the lack of (threatening) large fish reaverbots. They made up for that with the Saul Kada ruins, though.
Jonathan Thomas
reminder that the extreme slowdown was in fact a lag issue and you were supposed to get only a mild low gravity effect
youtube.com
That being said I have to admit the laggy underwater thing was really immersive, shitty as it was
Carter Carter
You can derive enjoyment from the former at least. Slow plodding through underwater sections made to pad the game out to be a whole half-hour longer is such a chore.
David Anderson
this is making me miss Legends, light-hearted aboveground shenanigans followed by horror-themed underground that only gets more horrifying as you delve deeper below to find some treasure and horrible secrets like a world-ending robot that you accidently activated
Daniel Hill
It was atmospheric, but the dungeon is way too large for it to happen every time you submerge.

holy FUCK
Caleb Stewart
Hell, I might have forgiven it if it gave you a shortcut out.
Jaxson Gutierrez
There is absolutely nothing else out there quite like it.
John Perez
legends truly mastered the art of low poly
>hey how do we do the faces
>instead of making them 'realistic' smushed faces let's make them extremely clean and clear
>also let's draw faces to be seen at specific camera angles
Xavier Lopez
Blew my mind when I read about the wizardry in this screenshot. I wish someone else had this mastery of low poly, low-res texture magic.

It was a combination of things. Truly fucked. Rolls voice over the walkie-talkie all distorted and being cut off, the pitch blackness at the end of the hallways, the dreadful mechanical underground wall patterns, the difficulty. It was fucked beyond all measures but that’s also the reason why it’s so memorable.
Jace Myers
The desire for a 3rd game still lingers but I've moved on from it since, also it might not be as good although recent MM titles say maybe a new team working on the 3rd wouldn't be so bad if they ever bothered
Gabriel Perry
I still want it, but even MM11 was on the careful side of things budget-wise. I highly doubt Capcom has the amount of zenny shaken out of them that it would cost to do a MML3 well.
Jonathan Ortiz
they seem to be on a redemption arc what with DMC5 and RE2 remake, compared to what happened years ago
Oliver Phillips
I think there were some good hires and international game projects in the last few years that allowed them to calm down and forget the old Japanese black company blood feud they had going with Inafune. I think their teams have the enthusiasm and skill to make most games they want to well, it's just if they can get the greenlight.
Alexander Howard
howd they do it user? ive never heard about it.
Alexander Perry
It had to be atmosphere because literally none of the dungeons in 2 are the least bit unnerving besides the room with the missile launcher in the ice dungeon.
Oliver Edwards
Owen Parker

Also fuck this game, as a kid was more scary than actual horror games.

The Reaverbot alert sound always gets me
