Beat MMX without leg upgrade. Frankly, it was not what I expected—I thought most difficulties would occur with platforming, but it was actually pretty easy; worst part was not being able to pick up most upgrades (until late) and avoiding bosses' attacks. I still have no idea how the hell you are supposed to fight Boomer and Octopus with no upgrades, their patterns seem almost random with no real easy way to avoid their attacks. Eagle was just stupid with no dash too, he blows you away half the time and then goes into dive attack that is barely avoidable without leg upgrade. Any tips appreciated.
Anyway, it was fresh to try this out, but I'd just prefer classic Mega Man at this point. At least it has challenging platforming and bosses have clear patterns.

Yeah, I got game over in that stage, then I went back and got the armor upgrade and remaining heart tanks /sub tanks. I usually do fine on spider, but facing that fucker with no upgrades was eye opening. Still would be fine, if he didn't drop those small spiders that distract you and waste the charge shot.
As for the 2nd part of the level as a whole, I didn't use the chameleon weapon, just the homing rockets. They make it relatively easy.

>>10943983
I'm not bitching. There was simply one anon on this board who said that beating the game with no dash was something like the definitive experience. It was still interesting, but I just wouldn't say it was "definitive". A lot of bosses barely make sense with no dash. And the fact that the leg upgrade literally blocks the chill penguin stage is telling. Though you can tell a lot of pits on regular stages were placed with no leg upgrade in mind. Not on Sigma stage though.

Have you done no buster?
>>
>>10944016
You mean no charge or just no boss weapons? With charge, it's just the way I play usually, it's not even much of a challenge, except for Sigma stage bosses. Regular bosses are easy as is, unlike MMX3.
I kind of want to try no heart/sub tank run, maybe no armor upgrade if I can manage it. Leg upgrade feels too essential, at least for buster only.
>>
>>10944178
No buster? Wdym? Only boss weapons? Or did you mean buster only?

The gameplay was more diverse than some of the sequels and many modern games have. You could go thru the door, and either lockpick, hack or blow the door or find a key etc, you could go thru a window or roof by piling boxes, you could go thru a tunnel, you could swim to some locations, you could talk to a npc to find out a password. You sometimes make choices where a character lives or dies, tho if you are playing for the first time you didn't know there were choices most of the time, which makes it if you asked someone else then your playthrus would have been different.

I wasn't necessarily a fan of the original weapon balancing and some of the weapons were bugged to the point of being unusable as the aim would not be where you want it to be ever, so I just use a mod like GMDX9.
>>
>>10939808
My favorite parts are the Tanker and the bomb disposal with Raiden. Tho when I play those parts with different difficulties I still have to hold a button for 5 minutes straight just to skip all the cutscenes and codecs every single time.

I dislike all the boss fights and don't really care for the sneaking parts in the middle parts of the game and there isn't that much sneaking in the 3rd act, just cutscenes and bosses and silliness.
>>
honestly imsims are too in-depthly autistic for me. while the reboot/prequel probably did go too far in streamlining things, it was still more enjoyable overall.

honestly i feel the same way about bioshock re: system shock a move in the right direction, just going too far.

Can we adapt to the fact that third worlders who grew up with famiclones had better childhoods than anyone else?
>reliable hardware without moving parts, early 90s models were actual clones of the Famicom and had FC style pads with rounder edges instead of the more angular NES ones
>Big library of games, maybe not the big games that required saving, like The Legend of Zelda, but on turn famiclones got a lot of japanese-only games
>Cheap as fuck and also multicarts
Basically famiclone kids got both, quality Japanese games, but at a very cheap cost, getting the best of both worlds of console gaming (good games) and british micros (cheap price).
You could argue modchipped PS1 or PS2 is better but
1) moving parts means less reliable hardware, especially if you weren't aware of putting the console upside-down technique in order for it to read discs
And 2) 100% ludo, no modern style games with movie stuff or urban simulators, just straight up games.

I had the one with the pack in games (virtua fighter, virtua cop, daytona). and also had what I think was a pirated copy of C&C since it was a blank CD with C&C written in sharpie on it.

I built a DIY kit for fun, but I have no nostalgia for the C64. It's a neat system and I love 80s pcs but it has no value outside of nostalgia in terms of game quality. The software is a net time-capsule but besides nostalgia there really is no reason to get one.

you know, you're not required to play bad Euro games like Potty Pigeon and Flimbo's Quest, right? most of the actually worthwhile C64 games were NTSC ones.
