How could Capcom never capture the same magic as this first game?
>>749645282Are you fucking kidding me? BN1 is extremely shitty to play after playing later games (except BN4).
>>749645282MMBN is boyslop
>>749645282The first game is objectively the worst. It's basically a proof of concept.
MMBN2, MMBN3 and MMBN6 are so much better that MMBN1 isn't really worth playing other than as a curiosity
>>749645282But they did. On Gamecube.
>>749645282X1 was the only time they caught lightning in a bottle on the first attempt.
>>749646916I guess I'd also argue that Legends 1 is better than Legends 2, but I think that has more to do with Legends 2 than with Legends 1.
Someone needs to use AI to make a hack of battle network 4 where you get every style from both versions all in one go.
>>749646168Those words don't mean anything.
>>749645282First game is fucking horrible gameplay wise and even map wise. The only good part is the characters and plot. I love the series but game 1 sucks
>>749646168The fuck is boyslop?
>>749648215nta but he probably means shotabait
>>749645282The magic was in BN3, not 1
>>749648215
>>749645282>We will never, EVER get a game about the Alpha RevoltIt's the Castlevania 1999 of the series
>>749648393Growing up, I see the flaws in BN3. Constantly changing programs is annoying, energy change is a pain in the ass, there's some things you could just never know without a guide. It remains one of the most magical video games for me to this day. And I still get filled with wonder every time I jack into Secret Area for the first time
>>749648491We should use AI to remove the gay shit like the compress program
I won't lie combat is janky as fuck in BN1, but something about the game I actually really like compared to later entries is how open the exploration is. Nothing is stopping you from going to the deepest parts of the internet halfway through the game to bring back good chips if you're brave.
>>749648271>>749648452Both are correct.
>>749645282the first one is the worst
>>749650719it's better than 4 but not by much
I'm replaying this for the first time in 20-something years at the moment and man it is not anywhere near as good as I remember. Random encounter rate is ridiculous. Combat feels awful because you need to grind a fuckload to even get matching letter chips. Scoring system based on ignoring as many combat mechanics as possible and just wiping the screen using an OP combo without moving. And the music is like a 3 second loop.
>>749651060>And the music is like a 3 second loop.From what I remember, the "danger" music gets really fucking annoying in certain places. But generally you don't spend long enough on most maps for the loops to get annoying. And the internet music is usually more ambient so you barely notice it.
>all the complaints are perfectly valid but i can't bring myself to hate it because BN was there for me while i was being abused by a narcissistic shithead of a mom growing up>mfw4 does suck nigger dick though, yeah.
>>749647692It's got the soul the later entries lack.
>>749650789Not even remotely. 4 is at least worth a single playthrough, the second and third are where it falls apart. And heaven forbid you go ultra completionist and play through it six times just so you can fight the other version's Navis.1 isn't even worth finishing.
6 > 2 > 3 > 1 >>>>> 4Haven't played 5.
>>7496523481 was the only game that wowed me, sure the sequels are more polished with good additions but the initial amazement of virtual world megaman with the grid action just didn't hit as hard because it's reused from the original.
I loved those games. One of my most painful gaming memories was playing BN4 Red Sun. I was at the end of the game, and I didn't want the experience to end yet, and I was bored, so I started a new game just for fun. But out of muscle memory I saved, and lost my progress right before the end of the game. I was so upset I never played it again.
>>749656691Its fine. Probably between 3 and 1.
>>749658508I had a similar moment except it was saving over my main save after starting a new save to play as Vergil in DMC3. After realizing I just lost everything on that save I didn't even feel like playing as Vergil anymore.
>>749648452Little boys don't play Yugioh.
>>749658210>reddit man
