Honest opinion of Mega Man 1?
Mega Man feels a bit slidey on the ground even when not in Ice Man's level, the folding rail platforms make Mega Man awkwardly drop like a brick, and the points system doesn't really contribute to anything, but the game is still highly worthwhile and it's great to see how the Mega Man franchise began. It's also noteworthy that some bosses hit hard as heck, such as Ice Man and Elec Man, but Mega Man can hit some bosses just as hard back.
>>733713625Fantastic game
>>733713625respectable title for laying the groundwork for a good series but is absolutely mogged by its sequels. same story with mario 1, castlevania 1, etc, getting a lot right the first try for the time with future titles cleaning up the issues making the first one seem not as good in hindsight
>>733713625Glitchy and poorly designed shitshow that frankly almost killed the franchise on day one.
>>733714069Man Mario lore is so deep.
>>733713625yellow devil filtered me
>>733713625Rough around the edges and one of the weakest compared to later Classic MMs but still better than 90% of the NES library.
>>733713625Very questionable design-wise by today's standards but it set up much of the groundwork for the series as a whole. 2 mogs it hard but that's good, as it means they improved on the formula they created.
>>7337136252, 9, and 10 do it's gameplay better than it, but that's expected being the first one ever made.
>>733713625It's kino and one of my favorite MM games. I enjoy it much more than 2, especially. Yes I am a contrarian snowflake, and yes the platform enemies that you fall through if you get hit while standing on them is bullshit.
>>733713625Lovable messy game. One of my go-to's for under-1-hour playthroughs.I like considering it in isolation rather than how well it lives up to future "franchise design conventions". I feel that helps appreciate Mega Man's eccentricities as a still rather unique game.
It's obviously the first one since it's full of weird shit the sequels will drop. Still, it's better than most other NES games.
>>733713625For a first game it actually holds surprisingly well, its a lot more consistent than many of its sequels
>>733713625i like cuteman
>>733713756Based summary. Mega Man 1 isn't a perfect game, but it's still kino. Most of the hate just comes from normalfags who grew up with 2 (the easiest game) and get immediately turned off by 1 just because it doesn't hold their hand and is a bit different. That's not to say there's no bullshit in the game (lookin' at you, Footholders), but 98% of it is actually very well designed.
Honestly i still prefer it over something like mario one, at least it feels like an actual world over levels with repeated bosses.
>>733713625RNG platforms
Powered Up is one of my favorite games of all time.
>>733713625I gaslit myself into thinking the mega man anniversary collection ruined MM1's physics but no Rockman really does just slide around like that for no fucking reason and all the stages really DO suck dick
>>733713625Somewhat slippery controls but surprisingly good robot master stages. Wily stages are straight swamp ass though.
>>733719480>2 (the easiest game)5 is much easier, it just doesn't get talked about as often. 6 arguably is too.
>>733720053Yeah those games are significantly easier thanks to how OP the buster is
I mostly play it these days only when I'm doing a full-series run, but it's fine (outside of those fucking spitting platforms in Ice Man and Wily 1). I still love the original tinny, sparky percussion of Fire Man's stage in the original game best, no other arrangement has kept that same quality.>>733719768My man, I had that as my background for years.
>>733713625Magnet Beam is fun
>>733713625I like it. There’s a lot of parts I don’t like.This is my opinion on almost every classic Mega Man.
>>733713625pure uce slop
It's why 2 is overrated.
>>733713625I never like the feeling that you just walk off a ledge and falling a thousand miles an hour.1st screen of Elecman can DIAFPlatform hopping in Iceman can DIAFMagnet Beam is GOATBut still better than say, Megaman 5 or 8.
>>733713625Beta game. 2 is decent. 5 and, especially, 6 are amazing.
