D is That Guy posted:It's not likely to be Zero. I'll bet it would be Duo before it would be Zero. Unfortunately it's even more likely that it would be Roll. I'm still hoping that it's a comedy Servbot option though. Um what little of a plot exists states that Roll is sick and that's what Megaman is fighting for. I don't think it's possible for it to be Roll.

I'm glad Mega Man 10 was announced so close to its release. Now I don't have to wait so long. Too bad Inafune doesn't seem too keen on making a 16-bit X game just yet tough.Yonic Symbolism posted:You know I'd be a silly nerd and watch a series that looked like this if it had even decent voice acting. The Day of Sigma from Maverick Hunter X was kind of a taste of this. Even tough I don't watch cartoons I must admit I kinda liked it. I blame my childhood. I don't think it has been linked yet so I'll provide. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Mega Man 10 Official Trailer!
|
Say, what Mega man is the most recommended? I am in the bizarre position of having played video games almost all my life, but never having touched or even seen a Mega man game, except all the parodies and Atari 2600 remake videos and things. Information about me that may inform this: I don't have any problems at all playing old games; I enjoy puzzles and platforming to action although action is cool so long as it's varied and I'm using my head; I'm not so much a fan of Metroidvania exploration; and I own an ok PC, a Nintendo DS, and a homebrew-enabled PSP (so emulators). I may be getting a PS3. edit: and I have a high tolerance for difficulty, again preferably if I am using my head. Thanks!

I'd play Megaman 2 for a good baseline experience and work your way up. It also has the benefit of being one of the few titles where the robot masters weaknesses made sense. Phil Niekro fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Dec 17, 2009 |

The order I'd play them if I could sit down and waste a few solid days is Megaman 2, 3,4,7,8 then jump to MMX and play 1-5, Then hit up legends 1-2 and work my way back with MMX 8-6 and finish up the original 5 and 6. Then cap it all off with 1 so you are ready for Mega Man 9. If you have a ps2 and can get your hands on Mega Man anniversary collection, and the Mega Man X collection to do all but the legends games. It's nice since you don't have to juggle multiple platforms, and you get the best versions of all the Mega Man X games. edit: Aniversary collection on the other hand is not the best, since 7 isn't emulated properly so the edited a bit out, and 8 is the ps1 version rather than the Saturn Version.

If you're looking for a short list you'll want to play 2, 3, X1, and X2 in that order.

Back when I used to work at a Help Desk, I played (on an emulator of course) Mega Man 1 - 7 (although I never beet 6 or 7) as well as X1 - X3. I preferred the X games though and I think I played them beginning to end again and again. I beat them all at least 3 times. I wanted to play the Gameboy ones too, but never got around to it. I think I got caught up playing every emulated Zelda game, raiding on the battle net with a coworker in Diablo II, and occasionally indulging my obsession with Day of Defeat (non-source version cause the computer sucked). Somehow I still took more calls than anyone else by a wide margin. Man that job was loving awesome. Edit: One last note. I did get the Mega Man (1-8) and Mega Man X collection (1-6) on Gamecube a year or two back, and while the X collection was OK at best, the original one sucked hard. The controls were quite counter intuitive, there was no way to change it and there are no alternate controller types for the Gamecube. I almost took the game back for credit and I never do that. I should have gotten it on PS2 but I don't have one and am sad. StickySweater fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Dec 17, 2009 |

Other than the other reasons posted (playing on 'difficult,' boss order), I think the metal blades were the preferred weapon for absolutely everything due to the ability to throw it in any direction. Freedom of mobility and trajectory in a Mega Man game.

Holy poo poo trailer released?! Even if I haven't played or finished a lot of the 8bit Megaman games I still get excited for the new installments. I was hoping for Roll to be playable though once I heard Protoman is available from the start (screw paying for that). It seems like robots all over the world are falling ill like Roll and running amok due to it as the premise for this game.

Swilo posted:What kind of pussy can't get past that pit without Item 2? I may have been all of 7 when I first got Mega Man 2, so I beat them in the order of how cool they looked. So for me it was always Metal > Quick > Air > Bubble > Flash > Wood > Heat > Crash. I just used the Metal Blade or the Buster on all the bosses. Everyone knows that Metal's weapon is the best weapon in the game anyways. I still do it this way, even on the Wiley stage where you fight them again. I do use the right weapons for the Wiley stage bosses, but those guys aren't robot masters, so screw them they deserve to be turned into scrap. (Apologies to the "Yellow Devil" type robots. You guys are always pretty tough. Don't haunt my dreams please)

Metal Blade is just the best Mega Man weapon. You get a bunch of shots for every pip of WE, it does a ton of damage, and it fires in any direction? God drat, Light should have just replaced the Mega Buster with that thing. Wily's greatest creation isn't Zero, it's the drat Metal Blade.

Panic Restaurant posted:
Here's some analysis of the Megaman 10 levels from the trailer (by order of appearance). Spoiler block in place just in case people don't want to see the trailer for fear of spoilers. 1. Baseball/stadium-themed level. Pitch Man? Ball Man? 2. Electrified factory-type level. Probably Sheep Man's level. 3. Sewer level. Not too sure about the boss here (Pipe Man?) 4. Some sort of warehouse with motor vehicles and bombs. Again, boss is up in the air (Gear Man?) 5. Lava stage with conveyor belts. Boss will probably be fire-themed (Blaze Man? Stove Man?) 6. Ice level with falling snow. Boss sillouette looks a bit crystalline (Icicle Man? Glacier Man?) 7. Desert level with sandstorms and quicksand. Boss outline seems to match Commando Man, so this might be his stage. 8. Castle level with lots of sharp objects flying around. Boss appears to have some sort of sword-like object sticking out of his head (Blade Man? Sharp Man?)

ohnoitschris posted:They just explained the whole point of Sheep Man. They wanted another electricity-based boss, but of course can't just use ElecMan again. So, Electricity... Static electricity. What can make static electricity? Wool! What grows wool? Sheep! I should be mentioned that although this was said, it was said by the American side, which was doing less translating and more acting like Goddamn morons the entire time. Pretty much their entire translation consisted of making the same "Cake Man" joke about 35 times. It was almost unbearable to listen to. So take that reasoning as the real existence of Sheep Man with a large grain of salt. raditts posted:Sick? She's a loving robot! They did translate the opening of the game, though, which stated Roboenza (a robot influenza) had made all the robots sick/go berserk. Personally I think this is interesting, since although computer viruses are common in our time, they seemed to be more of an "X" thing, whereas Mega Man was more about Wily straight up reprogrammed the old robots for the most part.

The trailer vid had the Xbox360 and PS3 in the credits, so I'm guessing this isn't a wii exclusive this time around  .Samurai Sanders posted:Did Megaman always have brutal gameplay? My memory may have just failed me, but to me there was a MASSIVE leap in difficulty after Megaman 3. Only recently I played one of the PS1 Megaman X games, and it was loving nuts. There was a driving segment at the beginning of one of the stages that made Battletoads' look simple. You also have to collect all the items on the pathway to get into that locked room on the other side. I don't think it's possible without a gross amount of savestate usage. Also Megaman X6 was pretty god drat harsh, I mean Jesus Christ just look at this poo poo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFdX52CqgZ4 It's on Extreme but those giant trash balls are still almost indestructible without the eagles on Normal, and you have to fight like 4 of them. You don't even get eagles with Zero and it's just brutal. It also had a boss to put the yellow devil to shame: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dafDNR0asK0#t=5m16s

I got deep into that game (on my PSX!) before I got to the point in one of the sigma(I think?) stages where you can't progress past a jump if you happen to be wearing the shadow armor and gently caress if I was going to beat the boss I had just beat wearing anything else. So I guess it's the only MM game that has really defeated me. edit: and I always killed Woodman first in 2 because a wooden robot pissed me off as a child.
