Agree 100%. The worst things about MMZ were the system limitations(having very little screen space can lead to running into things that were offscreen very shortly ago if you haven't fully memorized the level yet), and Omega, despite having a really cool design, ultimately suffers really badly because of that and is generally piss-easy. I still love MMZ to death because of the super fluid 2D movement and high difficulty, especially on hard mode where everything is very clean and simple with no cyber-elf/leveling nonsense. They're basically my personal standard for how my ideal platformer plays, and also easily my favorite Megaman games as well. I'd love to have more of them, which is a shame, because at the same time I love that they had the balls to kill Zero at the end and finish that series for good.

AHungryRobot posted:To be fair, there are some legitimate criticisms to be made about the art style. The mavericks look really cool, but the humanoid reploids don't even look like robots. If this were ZX with the whole "merging of man and machine" then it'd have some relevance to the plot, but since that's not the case in the Zero games, it just comes off as weird to me. When I first played MMZ it took me several hours before I realized the resistance was composed only of robots and not people with a penchant for goggles. Yeah, I gotta say I love the MMZ artstyle to death but that's definitely a flaw in it. If they made the faces look non human somehow it would go a long way-nonhuman eyes maybe, or jaw seams ala Raiden's first body in MGR(but more exaggerated)?

They did waste a perfectly good opportunity with Omega, but I can't be too bothered because I honestly really don't like Zero's original look with his super 90s-robot design and dopey enormous feet and I'm glad it's done with.

Yeah, if you want enemy bosses that met several times over in a stage in 'creative confrontations', that aren't killed quickly, and that are made to be memorable characters, what you want isn't really Megaman. Not classic Megaman, anyways, and it doesn't sound like you're really describing any other Megaman game either. And to be honest, that sounds dull. Plenty of other games try similar things and in general I don't like it-I don't want to beat around the bush, I want difficult stages followed by quick, intense fights where either I kill the enemy or they kill me. Megaman has never been about the story, and it shouldn't be. It's about fun, difficult platforming and blowing up robots.

I can't remember, have there been any other robot masters which appear human enough to have a race, and weren't white? I've mostly only played 1-3, and 9-10, so I barely remember bosses from anything in between.

It wasn't as accessible of a game, though, with the dark/light world mechanic. I didn't have (much)trouble with it but it seems a lot of people did.

Only just saw this- It's sad that Megaman is something that got dropped(and probably simply because it didn't get enough sales) and can only continue via going outside of what Capcom will actually make, but at the same time it's still a heartwarming sentiment and at least now it can continue in some form.  /

Jordan7hm posted:Late 80s, early 90s, still being made. Also Metal man's weapon is a perfect example of hilarious imbalance in player tools, flash man is, to put it simply, not fun to fight because of his piss-easy damage and health(possibly because they were afraid his time stopping would be frustrating, I guess?), there's a lot of issues with enemies respawning or despawning based on screen scrolling esp. with the big walker things, and some sprite issues depending on how much end up on screen... I like the game, but let's not pretend it stands the test of time if you're not someone who's already a fan of it and megaman in general.

Lurdiak posted:I really consider the SNES Mega Man X games to be the best Mega Man games of all time. There's just enough story to get you to care(but not enough to get you to stop caring), the music is great, the gameplay is fast-paced and clever, there's way more power-ups than in the NES games but not so many that you have to start managing them like in Legends or Zero... They're just really awesome games.  Though I guess I typically play buster only, so maybe I don't have much say on how any Megaman ought to be played.

A boss that 100% requires a certain weapon to beat is just dumb, and farming enemies is never fun. Even if it was easy it'd be terrible.

ALEX TRILLTON posted:Yeah, MMZ is ridiculously hard and not in a fun way. It feels like they didn't do any difficulty testing on it considering the elephant boss is infinitely easier but you have to face him after. ), it's really loving fast, controls super well, and demands the best out of you. Especially on hard mode where it cuts out all the extraneous powerup/equipable bullshit and it's just you and your saber against the world. Granted, MMZ3-4 are noticeably easier and it'd have been better if the first 2 were at that level of difficulty, then 3-4 ramped up to the original hardness so people would be able to acclimatize to the series.Also I honestly dig the story, although it does obviously have some issues. Having copies of an iconic character like X used as soldiers is cool as hell, and being part of an underdog resistance is cooler than being in a group of resistance quashing maverick-hunters imo.

It's kind of been said already, but ZXA is real good. Letting you completely turn into bosses after beating them is pretty neat, and it has basically the same super good controls as MMZ. Just skip the cutscenes.Tengames posted:Also , and I guess this is just personal opinion, But I think the controls are poo poo. You have to be in just the right position to talk to an npc, and the ducking from the ps1 x games is gone so you have to do dashing to dodge attacks,which requires you to not be in saber range at the boss. Honestly the melee weapons suck as so many bosses have melee attacks or hosed hitboxes, and just charge shooting them while the boss just hopelessly swings at the air is easier and faster.

If you use elves at all in Zero you're doing it wrong. The strength of the games lies in it being fast, fluid, and hard as balls, and the elves gently caress with all of that, especially the last bit. Preferably you should play on hard mode, as well.

I do honestly really like seeing people play games like Megaman for the first time where the basics are easy but the fine control/dodging/whatever is quite hard, and see how quickly they catch on. That 'reacts' video doesn't show as much gameplay as I want, though.
