What made it so shit?
Nothing. I played them all through on the PS2 anniversary collection and 7 is the best while weirdly 8 is the worst. MM1-6 are just middling to decent-ish games, but nothing notable.
>>12470563Too zoomed in. Did nothing with the new tech. Typical Capcom neglect.
>slightly zoomed in sprites compared to nes>slightly slower walking speed>bastard e-can-sucking final boss>why the hell was there no indicator to enter the shop from the menu>wtf this isn't mmx, where are the walldashes hax, how dare they trick us with the introstage, more like a gameboy game with its four-stage structure>the translator can't decide if it's a lazy bitch who'll cut text like roll/auto's "dr. light" dialog, or if it's a better-than-jap rewrite who'll add lines wholecloth and turn mega into the terminator>lol bass is a fishThere you go, seven reasons why mm7 is irredeemable, prov me wron.
>>12470601First and second points aren't objectively good or bad.Third point is fair.Every other point is just stretching.
good game bad
>>12470563it's not bad, but it's a mega man x game in spirit. 8 was better anyway.
>>12470568Everyone said this>>12470614>good gameNo one said this
because it's simply junk, man. like junk man. the man who throws his junk at you.
>>12470606First and second points are a poor fit for Mega Man. Objectively, the games are about the mix of platforming and shooting. Every good Mega Man gives you plenty of space to observe and assess obstacles. Extra space can also be important for satisfying use of boss weapons and bonus items, which use the space in different ways.Mega Man can't even duck. If you look at the majority of larger-sprite platforming games, you will find virtually all of them include ducking. This is often because the gameplay is more centered around the sprite, with melee or hand2hand combat dominating the action. So even though it technically works, it doesn't feel very good. Feels more like cheap handheld crap.
>>12471225Your opinion is not important, internet rando.
>>12470563Screen crunch. That's about it. MM8 fixed this.
Slow start, the strange secrets you have to dig for in random spots, Beast Man, and the final Wily are only real problems with the game and Wily I'm almost okay with being a slugfest designed to drain you of everything.Oh and I guess I'm not sure how I feel about bosses being completely shut down by their weakness (except for Beast Man who has two yet neither work well against him).
Attention everybody. I also fucked OP’s dad.
>>12470601His name is Rock, not 'mega'.
>>12472392Mega's fine if it's short for Mega Man.
>>12472853Even the Americanized cartoon had him being named Rock before his upgrade.
>>12473018Yes, and they used "Mega" as shorthand for Mega Man post-upgrade.
