AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHGBLGBHLBLGBLGHGL
Why are spikes so prominent in video games? I've literally never encountered spikes in my life. Is it like an 80s thing?
>>719763264How would they have sex?
>>719763264me when I have work in 5 minutes
>>719763413it's a simple stationary object that damages the player. easy to draw and no animation required. the real question is why does mega man die to spikes when he walks into them from the side
>>719763413The same reason video game characters often jump when people don't do that very much in real life; it's easy to design a 2d game around
>>719763545nonsense
>>719763591I would if it were socially acceptable and modern architecture was made to be less accessible (ie stairs for fatties)
>>719763413THE VIETCONG MADE MEGAMAN
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Sonic is actually collect long dead Megmans ring remnants
>>719763264how i sound burying my face in splash woman's belly
>>719763745Yeah same but my point is that a lot of prominent things in games weren't arbitrarily decided, they're like that because of the constraints of the time
>>719763413You want platformers to be like VNs and walking simulators?

This but me when I was 8 and had to spend a week with my stepfather.
>>719763964maybe VNs and walking sims should be like platformers
>All my favorite girls are reploids>Finally play the Zero games and even though they're shit I grind through them just for Ciel's human pussyReploidbros...I have failed you...
Guess this is the Megaman X thread since it's using the same OP image from the last one. Last thread actually got me to buy the Legacy Collection 1+2 and I just beat X1-4 for the first time at 39. Great time, very satisfying games that mostly had the right amount of challenge while figuring out the paths to get all the weapons and figuring out weaknesses added some replayablity. Definitely regret never playing them as a kid, I probably would have become a bigger fan growing up. For me, the order goes X2 (best level designs, best set of special weapons, X hunters were actually tough especially Serges, I actually did a 2nd playthrough immediately after finishing to do the Zero fight which might be the most challenging boss in the series thus far, especially since oyu have to fight 2 Sigma forms immediately after without a break.) > X4 (2nd easiest game in the series, partly due to how OP the parts were like the infinite ammo helmet and the arm part only needing a level 3 charge instead of a level 4. Zero being fully playable is cool, much harder than X. Why was everyone australian though?) > X1 (probably the easiest game but a great intro to the series, I think the best Sigma levels as well) > X3 (level design seemed the weakest here, contact damage seemed unusually high and there were a lot of areas where they just stuck you in front of a damage sponge enemy, boss patterns were more annoying to deal with but for most of them the weakness instakilled them so it felt like they wanted you to go in with their weakness or suffer. Also hated how the arm upgrade here worked, with the slow double shot needing to overlap and still doing barely more damage than a level 3 charge shot for more time; a big downgrade from X2's).Time to move onto Legacy Collection 2. I hear all of them minus X8 are.. less than great but still wanna play them just to say I beat the whole series.
>>719764659Reminder her black parts are skin, not a bodysuit
>>719764659>even though they're shitWhy are coomers always the ones with the worst tastes in vidya?
>>719764980>Bro here's a new system but you can't use it if you want high rankAlmost as bad as X6
>>719764659I had a crush on her
>>719763413>Is it like an 80s thing?80s kid here. Yes, spikes were a serious issue back then. Thankfully, most were removed by the late 90s. We eventually started calling them "Blockbusters" since they absolutely FUCKED entire neighborhood blocks if left to spread on their own, instakilling people left and right. I think the only one left is somewhere in Oregon now.
>>719763413Spikes were banned in most civilized countries decades ago anon
>>719764896I'm not sure if the legacy collection messed with the balancing but the NTSC version of X7 has fucked up damage/boss weaknesses so set it to the PAL or JP versions instead
>>719763264Why didn't Wiley just make a robot of those spikes?
>>719763264Lazy level design.
Some dumb bug bought out all the sawblades.
>>719763264didnt happen
>>719764941No they're not.
>>719764941No it isn't.
>>719763264>"Ultimate" Armor>dies to a sharp forkLMAO
>>719763591Video games gave me the wrong impression of how often I'd need to double-jump in real life.
>>719764659There is only two types of MMZ waifufags and you chose poorly.
>>719763438probably a USB cable
>>719767138That's our Godspeed Edgeboy
>>719767138Lmao these games fucking suck.
>>719767138>YOOO THIS GAMEPLAY FIREEE FRFR
>>719767138Fair and balanced
>>719765630Legacy Collection uses emulation instead running the games natively. It's pretty annoying playing these old ass SNES games on modern platforms and it still lags when theres more than 4 sprites on screen
>>719763264>DUDE MY CHARACTER IS AN OMEGA PLANET BUSTER ULTIMA DESTROYER BEAST WHO TANKED A GIANT BEAM COMING FROM THE BAD GUY'S ASSHOLE >dies like this in the same game he did thatThis shit is why I can't take power scaling, especially of videogame characters seriously. It's always an argument of shit only counting when it's convenient for the faggot jerking their favorite character off.
>>719763264
>>719763264Why Wily couldn't put those spikes on actual robots to kill Mega Man?
>>719772359sperg
>>719764941she's a human so no
>>719773110
>>719763264AUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGHHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>719774496post more zerox
>>719763413Well by the 90's Spike dies out
>>719774496Incorrect. She'd get a ladyboner instead.
best girl
>>719775480Also the MMX8 Demake has a mod for Zero toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGjodFdvqRc
>>719767820I would never pull out of Levi
>>719774496>my crush is making out with my son!
I just learned today that the person responsible for the shitty Guns n Roses boss names in X5 was Alyson Court, the VA of Claire Redfield just because her husband liked the band. What I wanna know is why the fuck Capcom just let it happen.
>>719775965Capcom has never been goodIt's been a the cumrag of western nations since forever
>>719775523I mean it's kind of a cool mod but it's just a recolor and not even a particularly good one. It doesn't match his actual palette nor does it mod in his actual moveset abd abilities.
>>719776127what are you on about? All his weapons and movesets are in. And im pretty sure NM zero is in X8, same as Dark Zero from hard mode.
>>719776991I mastered this but never ended up actually using the weapon
>>719774374I should have named him Spikeman and not Needleman, that would have given him insta kill moves.
>>719763413I grew up in the 80s and let me tell you, there were spikes everywhere. I lost three friends to touching spikes, they explodes into particles of light. It was terrible. Thank god the government finally banned spikes in the same bill that banned asbestos use in construction. They're still working on removing asbestos in a lot of places but thankfully all the spikes have been removed
>>719765279>wahh wahh I can't abuse crutch systems and still get the rewards locked by skill requirements>wahh wahh I got filtered by a game that's all knowledge checks Haha good job outing yourself as a retarded faggot
>Zerotards getting uppity againLowest selling Legacy collection btw.
>>719774374I guess needles are less lethal.
>>719763413
>>719780296what a simple fix. but hobos are obviously too fucking useless to come up with that.
>>719780296How many homeless people get instakilled by those per year?
>>719775523Did the creator take his meds yet? >Update: As of July 24 2025, Zashiko has uploaded a version without the "DRM" so all can play nowGuess he did.
>>719780296Oh wow.
>>719774374
>>719775480Why would a reploid need underboobs
>>719780375From what I've heard that's exactly what some of them do, they just put something over the anti homeless shit and sleep there anyway.Unless it's actually done in a way to fucking stab you like in India.
>>719780987That's an accident waiting to happen.
>>719780951Why would they need:HairEyesSkinVoiceHandsFeetThey're more efficient if they're just a box with tentacles.
>>719763413You've never met a woman wanting to have sex with you in your entire life either, yet porn is full of it. Same thing.
>>719780951anon they're specifically made to mimick humans 1:1
>>719780951why give robots genders if not to justify mecha tiddies?
>>719780987looking at that makes me uneasyimagine someone shoved somebody towards that, as a joke
>>719783650Indians work in foundries wearing tshirts and flip flops. The public safety risk that a literal spike trap poses is completely lost on Indian city planners
>>719763438-O! -O! -O!YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!IT'S NOT OVER YETWAAAAOOOH!!!!
>>719780987Pshh, nothing personnel, city planners.
>>719784265No one can say thiis is pointless at least
>>719784068https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pom-NB_xDGk
>>719763264https://vocaroo.com/1ncx0584A1IS
>>719767820>only two typesWrong.
>>719785264Lolifags aren't waifufags.
>>719763413It was the most efficient way to draw a lethal trap in a videogame outside making it a botoomless pit
>>719774374Why Wily couldn't put those helmets on actual robots to defend themselves against Mega Man?
>>719770058The most useless move in history
>>719786375against safety regulations.
>>719764896The input lag in these legacy collections is disgusting. Glad you enjoyed anyway anon.
>>719786981nta but I never noticed any
>>719787063Maybe they fixed something, but I remember the snes games having 8ms or something.
>>719787102No its probably there I just dont notice these things unless there is like a full second of delay, or the game is so fast paced you need your inputs to register on the frame you push them like ninja gaiden, in MM since you mostly shoot shit from afar and there arent many jumps to be timed its harder to notice I think
>>719786375mets can safely redirect energy away while they are in solid contact with the floor, whereas a humanoid robot wearing the helmet would end up decapitated
>>719763413It's a kekeesque object
>>719764896Even if you end up hating X5-X8 the Zero games are worth a try
>>719784725>YOU'RE GONNA GET HURT
>>719772232X7 and X8 are native ports iirc
>>719763591>he doesnt jump a lotStay at home retarded 1d baby
>>719787102IIRC it plays fine once you turn off vsync
>>719763264They should have made a Mega Man FPS but instead of that terrible western aesthetic from Maverick Hunter, they should use a sort of 6th gen early 2006 edgy look, like those intro movies for shit like Ace Combat where the colors are all washed out like a Kazuaki Kiriya movie. They should also have actually made a fucking Metroidvania Mega Man game. It was right during the Era where that genre was rocking and they never did it.
>>719788724kys
>>719788724No, make a new IP if you want that
>>719763438HU HA! HOOAAAHH
>>719764896Listen to all the Japanese songs for the ED and OPs of the games starting with X3 (X2 if you count that one commercial), they add a lot of kino
