But Famitsu said it's mediocre

>>12880626
Yeah, u til you get to the doc robot stages and the quality jumps off a cliff.

It's amazing how for the average Japanese player, Mega Man was like "the hardest fucking thing ever"

Ask a western player from the same time period and he'd be like
>heh, it's cool but not hard enough
>>
>>12880745
Kek every reviewer here mentions how hard it is. Some say it's a no brainer to buy if you're a fan of the series, the last guy literally cries that it's recklessly designed and unfair.

Wow what the fuck lol

>>12880626
I honestly like 6 more

That's actually standard by Japanese standards of the time. They also complained about every every major RPG being too hard until Squaresoft gave in, made "Easy Type" version of FF4, which set a new standard and from then on the rest is history.
Meanwhile if you check western magazines from the same era the normal thing to do was to rate a game higher the harder it was and to complain when games were too easy.

Nowadays the average clueless opinion regarding difficulty changes of the same game depending on region is to pretend that "the Japanese version is the real game and the US version was designed to be bad and unfair on purpose to combat rentals", meanwhile you have several dev interviews precisely explaining the difference in mentality and difficulty expectations between Japan and US audiances, like the director of Contra Hard Corps explaining that the US version was made first and that they added a life bar after that for the Japanese audiance who as a whole were less into action games and more into "thinking games".

Japanese gamers are absolute retards. That and famitsu is a pay to win publication. Only massive million dollar companies would get any type of rating through them, all publish Japanese media was pretty much the same and for the most part still is.

Remember those idiots had a hard time even playing the first Mario. They couldn't figure out how to kill the koopas.

That, and, as people forget: Japan is like every other country on earth, filled with mouth breathing troglodytes and dumb knuckle dragging boomers. Normies around every corner too.

Mega Man "fans" only played one game

Go home, IGUB.

I blame these four people for Mega Man 4-6 being for stupid infant babies.
>>
>>12881535
That's stupid for several reasons. Firstly, don't lump MM4 together with 5 and 6. Secondly, late Famicom era was all about easier games for younger kids who had the console has hands me down while people with money had moved out to later generations, it wasn't just MM5 and 6.

/vr/ is no different. You see many people here call MM3 shit because Doc Robot is too hard
>>
>>12882286
I’ve never heard anyone hate the Doc Robot stages because they’re hard, it’s mostly because they suck and are pointless. On the contrary, the most common criticism of the game I’ve heard is how easy the Wily stages are.
>>
>>12882286
>>12882452
It's both
>the Doc Robot stages are lazy and poorly designed
>the Wily stages are a complete fucking joke
