That game is such a slog to play but the sprite art and art direction is general is absolute perfection. The ost also helps add to the dreamy comfyness of it all.

Underrated as fuck, the best classic Mega Man. The graphics are phenomenal, the stages are creative, and the upgrade system offers a lot of replayability.

The game didn't had a full year if development, though, nice attempt at a gotcha. When Aizu and Tsuda left with the X2/MM7 to form Inti Creates, that threw a spanner in the works, X3 had to be outsourced and 8 didn't materialize until they had enough in-house new hires to replace the old staff who left, on top of sharing attention with the planning stages of Legends and pre-planning with X4, which was the same staff, pre-Arcade division merging.
Nice also to ignore what is known as to why tricks and secrets were made, as confirmed by MM2's TOM PON in regards to the birds replacing stars trick or Metal Man dying by his own weapon, tricks and secrets for the sake of further magazine coverage. I only added the possibility of a glitch given it has happened before (BN2's Pinecone grenade + Prism instakill glitch)

i used the chemist to cheese the last boss

did i beat the game?

This game's scope is deceptively large. It's a constant string of ''why did they bother with adding this little detail here'', in a wonderful way. I wasn't expecting much out of a ps1 mecha game, certainly not paragraphs about renovations to sewage systems, but it's been great so far, invigorating shit. What does /vr/ make of this game and this series in general?

I found the combination of small party size, weak ass rocketeers and the random skills to be wack. The game already has some randomization in the form of part damage, with the random skill system and the fact that the best ranged units are stuck with extremely limited ammo you tend to stack up on short range units, since those can deal consistent damage all battle long.
That tends to turn every battle into a "bumrush a mech with your entire team of machinegunner/melee specialists and beat him to death" fest, waiting for a skill to trigger and explode the enemy mech (or obtain an ejection). The maps are also relatively small on average, and with only 4 characters on the field you can't really afford to pull any fancy manouvering, you keep them bunched up so you can gang up on enemies better. Maybe focus some rocketeer if there's one around.
For comparison, in 1 or 4 I would usually have some ranged specialists that would take care of "priority targets" while my close combat guys would move in and rake anything left, it feels way better. 3 at times feels like a JRPG they stuck on a grid rather than an SRPG. The main protag also starts off the campaign being comically retarded. He gets better later on, but Jesus Christ, the rest of the series has relatively mature characters: not too smart at times, but rarely immature. 3's cast is the opposite. The game even features "great value Asuka".
That said, I still found it to be a fun game, the writing gets better later on, and the OST is great. I was glad the merry bunch of retards got an happy ending.

Probably. That's what makes NYC the best place for this game, the level of detail they added made it more fun than anything else.

Always wanted to see them make one somewhere else or a larger map that goes off into random states around New York, similar to how they put desert areas in the others. West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Vermont would be awesome to see in extra DLCs but they're lazy now so probably won't happen

When it came out it, this was undisputed. I played it back in 1986 when I was four, and instantly became obsessed with video games because of it. But after SMB3, SMW and SM64 came out it's appreciation fell along the wayside. It's importance didn't, as it was still listed near the top of all best game lists when those newer Mario games came out, but because those newer games improved and added so many things, SMB1 felt obsolete. The controls were stiff and unforgiving with your jumps. You could easily jump from SMW and SMB3 and be fine with the controls, but going back to SMB took some getting used to. The game was just smaller, more linear and had less variety. All fair criticisms compared to the newer games, but I still think it's better.

For some reason the camera rotation in this game makes me nauseous. Not sure why, but I think it has to do with the camera being too close. I've never played another game that does that, not even the sequel, which is very close to being the same game.
