Maybe I am just a zoomer but these are unfair and a gigantic waste of time. Even SilkSong is not this tedious.>artificial difficulty, stuff that you physically cannot know about kills you>you have to start the entire level over from scratch>over and over and over and over again>finally you're onto a boss>you lose>unlike Silksong, it's not one minute away to play him again, instead you have to start over the ENTIRE level from scratch.>you finally beat the boss after 25 times>you learn that boss number seven's weapon would have allowed you to kill it in two hits>there is no way to possibly know that when you're actually playing unless you play every single possible combination of levels and try every single weapon on every single boss. Retro vg is just designed to waste as much time as possible. These are not fair fights. There is no honor in it. They're awful.
>>12448371>bellyaching this much over a non limited continue game
Okay, so don't play it then?
>>12448371Your post is full of straight up liesFor example you only have to start from the beginning of a level when you lose all of your lives, otherwise there are checkpoints, including one right before the boss
>>12448371>>you have to start the entire level over from scratch>>over and over and over and over againNo you don't, we have these things called save states now.
>>12448371>unlike Silksong, it's not one minute away to play him againGroal say hi.
>>12448384Save states should only be used on the screen where they give you a password, otherwise it's cheating
>>12448410if you don't write down, then type the password afterwards to continue you didn't beat the game
>>12448371>artificial difficulty Yeah you are a zoomer. Actually come with non bullshit terms if you want to discuss these games with people. That term is a tell you've got nothing going on in your head.
>>12448371Git gud.>t. 20 year old zoomer.
>>12448371Only thing about this game is having to fight the MM2 bosses. You can get fucking softlocked at needle mans stage if you run out of rush jet power
>>12448410I consider save states cheating but honestly who gives a fuck? I don't use save states only because I don't mind playing a level over again if I run out of lives (unlike OP it seems) and the games that do send you back to the beginning of the entire game are always so short it doesn't even matter to me.Really I think the choice to use save states is a patience thing.
>>12448371>skill issue: the poststick to roblox and tiktok.
>>12448758Mega Man 3 is of average difficulty for the eight Robot Masters, becomes the hardest of all six NES games for the Doc Robot stages, then gives you the easiest Wily levels in the entire series.It's very very odd.
>>12448371>you get sent back to the beginning of the levelOnly if you run out of lives>you get sent back to the beginning of the level if you die to the bossAgain, only if you run out of lives. If you didn't you get sent right outside the boss room which is actually pretty generous considering most games in general don't do that.>you die to something that you wouldn't know kills youSuch as?>there's no possible way to tell what weapon is a weakness to a particular boss.I know that it isn't as clear cut as megaman 1 and 2 but you are still able to logic your way out of it like electricity being an enemy of magnets which would probably be effective against the heavy metal guy.>these are not fair fightsIf you are too lazy to identify clearly readable patterns (which is a massive improvement over the first game mind you) then you can always exploit a weakness. This is fair, you are just bad.
>>12448371The whole game's like 45 minutes long.
>>12448371It's pathetic to watch 6th gen babies attempt to play an real video game
>>12448371Here's how the game should play if you're not retarded:>Reach boss without any lives lost, max 1 life lost>Lose to boss while learning pattern>Respawn directly in front of boss>Win, or lose once more before winningIf the level is hard or you're struggling, you might spend one game over learning the level, and then be able to what the boss without a second game over
>>12448371>artificial difficultyhilarious meme, if someone ever says this you know they are severely brain damaged.
>>12448771>becomes the hardest of all six NES games for the Doc Robot stagesReally? I'm pretty sure I've had more trouble with MM1 than any part of MM3 ever but it's been a long time since I played either. I have never completed MM1 without cheating (lightning + pause/unpause trick) btw.
>>12448771>then gives you the easiest Wily levels in the entire seriesThe second one is difficult, there are no checkpoints, if you die at the yellow devil you have to start from the beginning of the stage, and most likely have to farm energy for Rush Jet.
>>12449237"Artificial difficulty" and any variation of "the game is punishing me" are pretty huge red flags.
Megaman games always filter the fuck out of me and I don't know why. Tried playing MM 1 and 2, furthest i've ever gotten was the Wily stages. Same with any X game. I tried playing Zero the other day and literally could not beat the first boss. I dunno what's wrong with my brain but i straight up cannot adapt to this series.
>>12449957Zero is actually challenging, but I thought the MMX games I've played (X1, X2, X4) were easy (still great games though)
>>12449965I can definitely get a vibe for X games being easier but they still beat my ass at the end.
