megaman clasic and megaman x are overrated same repeated shit
these games are all the same. no difference between megaman x1 and x3. no difference between megaman 5 and 3. all the same shit
>>

That's my main complaint with the series. Unfortunately it doesn't seen to be a popular take, even if people may agree.
Capcom never tried to evolve the formula, they just add some minor gimmick each title, but other than this the scope is nearly the same every game.
Even now with Mega Man 11 and Dual Override the games aren't much different from a NES/SNES game, it's just a formulaic 2 hours long platformer with 13 stages. I don't think any other mascot platformer is this much mediocre, even the new Bubsy game is looking more ambitious than this.

Fuck off britshart. These games are great

>>12245351
what's the fucking difference between Heatman and Fireman? add some Pyroman, dont know if he exists, i dont give a shit, it would be EXACTLY the same! These classic and x games are the only games I beat I can't remember anything at all! that's because they all are truly the same shit! And I care about music - it's all the same!
And I hate megaman x music too, one of the worst snes chip sound examples alongside Super Mario World. And PS1 games are all a mess

>>12245585
i meant that they repeat exactly the same formula. zero and zx tried more distinctive identites with they rpg elements and heavy story focus, while the other spin-offs are completely different. I give them some approval for that, but still..
>>
They are underrated actually

Each game feels like an expansion pack, but there's no "base game" they interact with, and are just standalone releases.
It made more sense when there were constant design contests and new installments happening at a regular pace, less so now getting one per console generation.
>>
X1 and X2 are great

>>12245351
Mega Man X is Xcellent hehehe

FR I don't know how you could say it's bad.

Don't be an embittered prick like OP and enjoy life.

if it works, then don't fuck with the formula

Shut up you idiot, you absolute dipshit
>>
>>12245790
That's not the point

Thing is, Other people should not be liking the thing that I don't like. They need to stop that shit. Retroactively too. I want them to stop liking that shit in 1990 at the very least.

>>12245351
Regular series had 9 sequels
X Series had 8 sequels
Then we get around to all the other stuff like ZX, Z Battle Network, etc. Apparently quite a few people do like how the games play out.

Oh shit, I knew you could use Speed Burner to eat a life, but didn't know the giga crush refreshed your jump, thanks for the strat.

It was just Inafune pushing for more games every year.
The sales were not that good, and once he left Capcom the release schedule plunged.

oh yeah THAT too!
they're all shallow as fuck. you could play megaan 2, 4, 5 and 9 and it wont fucking matter, they're all the same shit
>>
>>12246910
>shallow gameplay is...bad!

I bet your favorite game is Horizon: Zero Dawn because there are let's of buttons you can press that do different things
>>
>>12246992

Yes?

So, Tetris bad, Mario bad, shmups bad, every 4X good
Ok retard

>>12246910
Unlike your whore mother, the games didn't become inflated with bloat over the years. They all play the same because they all play great.
>>
>>12248049
You confuse shallow with simple, deep with complicated.
You try to argue with points I didn't even make, your whole post is crying about things you made up in your head.
>>
>>12245351
Yeah but what if you pick Zero in X4 though?
>>
megaman getting another game announcement must have sent OP into a killing spree
>>
hello, is this miyamoto?
>>
>>12248757
No this is Patrick
>>
>>12248234
Can't wait to hear you explain the difference between shallow and simple, deep and complicated, in a way that doesn't directly expose you don't know the difference between them either, or how they apply to Mario but not to Mega Man.
>>
>>12249056
In game design terms, a game is more SIMPLE the fewer RULES it has, and more COMPLICATED the more RULES it has. A game is more SHALLOW the fewer CHOICES it has, and more DEEP the more CHOICES it has. More complicated games CAN be more deep than simpler games, but not necessarily.
>>
ANON can be ANON if he wants to but if ANON doesnt want to be ANON then he is not ANON even if ANON is here to be ANON but not ANON, though the more ANON thrives to be ANON then thats more ANON to our ANON
>>
Okay but what if you play as Zero?
>>
>>12249332
Here's a concrete and basic example: Go is much simpler than Chess, but is also deeper.

Go is simpler because the rules of play are (with 2 or 3 exceptions), "Place a stone of your color anywhere on the board," whereas Chess has 6 different types of pieces to memorize movement rules for before you can decide which of your 16 pieces to move.

Go is deeper because it has 10^170 possible legal positions whereas Chess only has 3.7*10^43. That means each turn of Go gives each player a lot more choices and each of those choices impacts the final result of the game much more significantly.
>>
Hearing someone talking shit about Megaman is a clear indication that you're listening to a troglodyte of some sort. Can safely be disregarded and makes you wonder why they are even bothering to talk about video games at all if they hate THE video game series. OP should probably take up a different hobby, like watching soap operas or sports or something.

I watched this about 10 times waiting for the spider to die before I realized it was just a perfect loop of the same two hits.

that's because X1 was already perfect
>no difference between megaman 5 and 3
wrong, 4+ looks worse and the hostage BS is pure garbage

>>12245996
based

megaman is kinda wack imho because there's no point to learning the best time to use your weapons because the charge shot is a one size fits all good to great answer to every single enemy/situation in the game as long as you're willing to hear the annoying whrrrr sound 24/7 so only like megaman 2/3 and some games where you can play as zero are actually fun
>>
today i played megaman 9 for the first time
the fuck is this shit!??? hardest megaman ever. x6 was hard too but also chaotix hard with fun x gameplay, but megaman 9??? classic megaman is shit so there's that

X1/2 are similar, in X3 you can feel the mechanics are a little off, X4 is completely different, then X5/6 are also similar to each other.
>>
>>12250032
On the other hand I replayed it and found it super easy
I play these games way too much
Use autofire

>>12250093
>X1/2 are similar, in X3 you can feel the mechanics are a little off
They're the exact same engine and mechanics. Any difference you notice is entirely in your head. Maybe I'd concede this point if you only played it on Saturn or PS1, I guess.
>>
>>12250032
Mega Man 9 is a master class in game design. Each level has progressively more difficult elements; all traps and hazards are telegraphed in advance. Any failure you experience is reflect on you as a gamer. I'm not saying it's possible to beat your first time playing without dying, but that every individual stage could be beaten without dying. I cleared the game without getting hit (reloading between stages on failure).

I knew you'd fall for my trap, you fucking idiot. Based on your own definition, Mega Man is much more complex than Mario 3 for example because you can approach 8 stages in any order, giving you over 40,000 different ways of moving through the game from one stage to the next. You also have more abilities and can freely move between them mid-stage, allowing you to tackle the same obstacles multiple ways. And then there's E tanks, weapon tanks, rush movement options, etc.

You just proved my point that you were using buzzword slop to evaluate Mega Man.
>>
>>12250268
Dashing not boosting the power of uncharged buster shots like in previous games is very well known at least, anything else would be much less obvious than that.
>>
>>12250295
Mega Man being more complex than Mario doesn't inherently make it superior, you fucking retard.
>>
>>12250785
That's my fucking point you absolute readlet. Holy shit please develop at least grade 3 reading skills.

Dude said Mega Man was bad because it's not complex.
My point was that complexity does not necessarily make a game good.
He disagreed, and provided a definition of complex that absolutely applies to Mega Man.
>>
>>12250789
Literally the only thing I was doing was explaining the difference between simple/complex and shallow/deep, I don't know why you're throwing all this other bullshit at me now.
>>
>>12250792
When you learn how reply threads work on 4chan and/or how to read compound-complex statements, your mind is gonna be blown my dude
>>
>>12250801
I don't feel like trying to go back and read your argument with some other anon, all I care about is game design vocabulary autism.
>>
>>12250805
Protip: when people write a post addressed to YOU and use the word YOU to refer specifically to the person they're replying to, it's good form to say "not him but" or something when explaining your viewpoint so you don't get confused for a retard
