why do people pretend mega man was ever good?
>artificial difficulty
>instant death spikes
>no save system only playable with save states
>forced to replay stages when you gameover
>forced grind for gears to buy more e-tanks
>convoluted storyline
Why do people pretend mega man was ever good?
Anthony Cooper
Isaiah Jenkins
that's like 80% of nes games
Gabriel Jackson
>>artificial difficulty
Literally everything moves in set patterns.
Andrew Sanders
>Megaman
>convoluted storyline
oh no Dr. Wily/Sigma did a bad thing
Michael Ortiz
Because hipster cred.
Brayden Rogers
If you think Mega Man's story is complicated you're a fucking retard
Asher Wilson
The one thing I will actually say is that the extreme frame drops of the NES titles make them seem borderline unplayable from a modern perspective.
Ayden Morris
Git gud
Brandon Gonzalez
>Artificial difficulty
Xavier Edwards
Even then they run smooth as shit if you play them on any of the various collections or rereleases (or emulator) since like 2003 or some shit
Aaron Peterson
I hate gen z
Gabriel Roberts
That's only a real problem in MM3, I think, that one has frame drops through entire LEVELS
John Green
>megaman
>grind for gears
must be something in the later X games because I don't remember that shit at all.
>convoluted storyline
go stop wily, he made more robots
>artificial difficulty

Bentley Perry
the only complicated thing is which of the x5 endings leads to x6
Leo Diaz
Robert Fisher
Aaron Garcia
Just turn on rookie hunter mode
Adam Reed
I thought we all collectively agreed that X5-X7 didnt happen though
Luis Phillips
X8 isn't THAT much better. I don't know why some people give it a free pass. Is it just because it came after 7?
Ryder Sullivan
MegaCorps chill all over the Internet
Hudson Adams
>What a silly little OP!
Landon Turner
It's not really tooo much better than 5 and 6 but it's playable, the story can actually be followed somewhat, and I also just thought it was generally pretty fun. Maybe it's guilty pleasure. I also love the elevator theme
But yeah being way better than X7 is a massive upside so I can see that being a factor
Jaxson Moore
I have a soft spot for X5 from my time playing in an arcade
Dylan Morales
>no save system only playable with save states
Only the first game had no save system.
2-7 got passwords that could make you start at Wily 1 or the first fortress from 4-6.
8 started having the option to save the game and so did the later games.
Isaac Martinez
x8 was the first game since x4 to improve its predecessor
the mechanics were great it just needed better level design
