Captain Invictus posted:Rockman Neo. Haha holy poo poo, that's a name I haven't heard in a while. I wonder what went Dick Dickman's head when he was coming up with it (in between bouts of furiously masturbating to furry porn he drew). "I know! I'll make all the Megaman characters stick figures with armor! And then I'll make it GRIMDARK! Yeah! And then I'm gonna get pissed off at my fans and pretend it's a totally new concept called 'Perfect Neo'!" Also, anyone see Andrew Dickman's "new" ideas? It's like he takes whatever videogame or anime he's watching at the moment, draws the characters in a slightly different style, and then claims it for himself and then he yells at anyone who points out his blatant plagiarism. The last thing I heard about him was that he was working on that Loonatics show about Grimdark anime Loony Toons characters, which is right up his goddamned alley. EDIT: I forgot about what I was originally going to post about!  Anyone here bothered by Megaman Zero's (and beyond) bosses? They look too much like mechaniloids to feel like the classic Mavericks and Robot Masters. They're pretty generic, I think. Screaming Idiot fucked around with this message at 11:04 on Aug 12, 2010 |

Tallgeese posted:AWD! leveraged his massive Deviant Art fanbase to win second place in the Mega Man 9 fanart contest held at Capcom-Unity. Docahedron, however, beat him out for first without having such a fanbase. "lovely" is the word you're thinking of. Another good word would be "plagiarized". That man hasn't gad a unique idea in all his time as an artist, and any skill he has is utterly wasted on the generic pap he churns out day after day. If you are a fan of Dicky Dickman, then you are either a a furry, a repressed furry, or an anime human being of the highest order. In fact, Dickman and his ilk are the very things that drove me away from the Megaman fandom way back in the day. It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't such a sensitive little oval office in response to his work -- I remarked how one of his later creations looked like something a friend of mine had drawn nearly a year prior and he instantly became a huge  about it. "Well maybe your friend should stop copying me and become a real artist hurrf hurrf."He makes me angry. Angry about stuck-up mediocre flash-in-the-pan pseudoartists!

Also, speaking of Dickman, I found one of his early Rockman Neo sketches.

Pureauthor posted:You mean they look mechanical? But so do a lot of MMX bosses and some MMClassic bosses. I suppose the problem is that they're not anthropomorphic for the most part. If anything, they looks too mechanical. While I'm glad they've gone away from the "guy in a silly costume" route of the Robot Masters and the "robot furry" look of the Mavericks, I'd rather that the bosses look less abstract. Of course abstract is better than the "tweens in thongs" look of the main characters, but that ain't the point. Screaming Idiot fucked around with this message at 13:06 on Aug 12, 2010 |

Pureauthor posted:Aesthetics aside, I think the Mega Man Zero series had the best overall mechanics of the entire platformer line. The stage designs (except for MMZ1) and the boss fights were all extremely fun and interesting. Can't agree with you there, I'm afraid. Each 2d series' mechanics is more-or-less equal to me, although the Metroidvania approach to MMZ1 was intriguing, if poorly implemented. The first Megaman ZX dropped the ball on it though with its incredibly lovely "mapping" system. EDIT: Megaman 9 and 10 sucked, though. LET ME CHARGE AND SLIDE, DAMMIT.

My friends and I watched it from beginning to end and this guy was both the worst and best part of the movie, beaten only by the part where Chunky Samoan Protoman punches Rave-Goer Elecman's head clean off. EDIT: Also, Dr. Wily's acne. And the gap between his teeth you could fly a robot dog jet through. Hell, I think it'd be easier to make a list of things that aren't funny about Movie Wily.

Am I the only one sick of all the oldschool circlejerk bullshit? The old Megaman games were fantastic, but they're focusing more on selling nostalgia than actual games now. Megaman 9 and 10 were about as mediocre as they come and my hopes for Megaman Universe are pretty small. Oh, goody! Many playable characters! This is almost as awesome as the Sonic games! I sure hope Megaman doesn't have his charge shot or slide again, just like in the first 3 games that people will not shut the gently caress up about! Maybe if we're good they can put a remix of Wily's first stage theme from MM2 again, I know we haven't heard enough of that track! I never thought I'd see the day where I'd prefer a new Megaman Legends game over the original series.

Drox posted:You could post about what you'd like to see in a Megaman. Titties and nuclear weapons. Essentially, I want Duke Nukem Forever. In all seriousness though, Megaman games were essentially the same game remade sequel after sequel. Each sequel had its own little tweaks here and there (Rush's transformations, weapons having different effects upon the environment, etc.), and each game felt like a sequel to the last and showed that, while Capcom is essentially a lazy, lazy company, they want to give you the illusion you're playing a new game. It all changed, however, around Megaman 7. While it was seen by many as one of the weaker titles -- and for good reason in some respects -- it had a lot of excellent features: Robot Masters had hilarious effects when certain weapons were used on them, there were secrets everywhere, and it introduced Auto and the item shop on a major system. And best of all, it wasn't a simple repeat of a previous game. Megaman 8 only improved upon the system, making the somewhat-grindy shop into a fairly fun collection and customization system. So what happened with Megaman 9 and 10? Why can't Megaman charge or slide? Why the all lovely self-referential humor? Why the gibbering gently caress is it 8-bit? There are too drat many games that are nothing more than thinly-veiled appeals to our childhood, and Universe looks like one of them. Instead of making a brand new Megaman game, they're just adding a bunch of lovely user content and playable characters nobody loving cares about. You ask me what I want? I'll tell you. If they're going to make a new Megaman game, they need to stop using lovely callback jokes, they should add new abilities and gimmicks, and none of this "user-generated" bullshit that's going to be 99% unplayable bullshit. Mister Roboto posted:The z/ZX games were a mix of some really good ideas and some not so great ideas. Agreed. The storyline -- especially post MMZ -- was terrible and the aesthetics were gag-worthy. But the gimmicks were fantastic.

It's been in a grand total of three games, the newest one being the second arcade game, which is like 13 years old. I'm not really blaming Capcom for that, actually, but the fanbase. Yes, Megaman 2's music was pretty good, but Jesus Christ I wish they'd stop going on about how good it was. The other games had good music too! While taste is a subjective thing, I can't tell you how grating it is to see people clamoring over Megaman 2's soundtrack when, really, every game has its own awesome themes. Gravityman, for instance, has a really catchy theme, as does Knightman and the opening stage to Megaman 7. Really, if I should be upset at anything, it should be the fanbase. Capcom tried making new games, the fans started screaming for EDIT: And Megaman 8 had variation, dammit, it wasn't just "walk through stage, spam Metal Blade-equivalent weapon, get boss weapon" like the rest of them.

I totally agree with you. Megaman Battle Network and its spinoffs are the worst thing to happen to Megaman since Rule34. As much as I dislike Megaman 9 and 10 -- which, honestly, are objectively good games, they're just forgettable as Megaman games -- I'd rather play through them 100 times as slideless, chargeless Megaman than play 10 minutes of any MMBN game.

Agnostic watermelon posted:Another neat thing about Megaman 8 is the way they handled how weaknesses worked. Like with grenade man, you couldn't just hit him with the thunder claw, you had to smack his bombs back at him. That's something the 8-bit games definitely lacked. In 16- and 32-bit generation Megaman games, when you hit a boss with his weakness he reacted in a way that let you know what you did was effective, usually with some humorous aftereffect. Tenguman was frozen to the ground, Springman's coils were cut out, Searchman was set on fire, Junkman flew to pieces, Astroman literally poo poo himself with fear. So why can't current games do that? Hell, even if Capcom was going to force Inticreates to squeeze another festering 8-bit spiral from its puckered gamehole, what's to keep them from adding little touches like that? Sure, 8-bit games usually don't have a lot of detail, but what's to keep them from making it only pseudo 8-bit? They could go straight from "lovely attempt to cash in on NESphiliacs" to semi-art if they did it correctly.

Everything's too soft looking and too brightly-colored. I used to like MM7's style, but Bob and George pretty much ruined it for me. Now Megaman X8's 2.5D graphic style was fantastic save for its abuse of light bloom, and I think a Megaman game made with that engine would turn out to be one of the best Megaman games ever made.

You can harp on how "simple and clean" 8-bit looks in comparison to the ridiculously pillowy look of the 32-bit games, but it's also possible to use that technology to make the game look up to date while retaining the same fun it had back in the day.

Gammatron 64 posted:Well you basically called everyone here retarded for not liking Mega Man 8 and implied that we all masturbate to lovely 8-bit videogames, so I would say that's probably where the hostility stems from. I didn't call anyone retarded and I was talking about people that hate the later games simply because they weren't old. And I've only ranted because I've gotten a veritable tidal wave of bullshit simply because I don't like the retro fad. Megaman 9 and 10 feel like hollow retreads to me, which is something as you are absolutely correct when you say that the Megaman games aren't known for their innovation. However, the older ones had a certain quality the modern 8-bit games (and remakes) lack, and for that reason I can't in good conscience say they're as good as the classics. They're still objectively good games, of course, as even the worst Megaman game is still better than most other franchises at their very best. But I don't think I'd be alone in saying that the most recent games would have benefited from being actual titles instead of downloadable minigames, even if the sales wouldn't have been the same. However, and I feel like I have to make this clear, I meant no personal offense to anyone in this thread. It's a video game, and though we all get hotheaded about it, it's not worth calling someone out over. Kanos posted:You are really incoherent and confusing. This entire discussion started with you ranting about Megaman Universe being an abomination when it looks to be providing a lot of what you are howling for, i.e. updated, modernized graphics with a tried and true gameplay engine. Megaman 9 and 10 did feel excessively cheap to me, though, and I didn't enjoy them as much as the previous titles. Furthermore, the fact you have to purchase playable characters to get the same abilities you did in previous games makes it worse in my eyes. I understand the former opinion is not widely-shared, but I'm sure everybody agrees with me when I say that DLC should have come with the game for no additional charge. As for MMU, the only problem I have with it is that, instead of trying for a new art style, it's taking a lot of the same pseudo 8-bit look I've spent the last several pages frothing like a retard about. Furthermore, with the introduction of extra playable characters, we're heading into Sonic the Hedgehog territory, where the main character is completely overshadowed by the rest of the cast. Why play as boring old Megaman when Protoman can charge and slide? Why play as Megaman when Bass is a flying machine gun robot from hell? Why play as Megaman when you can play as some shotoclone who has no goddamned business being in a Megaman game? Screaming Idiot fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Sep 10, 2010 |
