Mega Man Megathread

People really aren't kidding when they say Battle Network 1 is like a prototype of the rest of the series - finished BN1 around a year ago, and it's unfortunately pretty rough around the edges.

Well, if you even slightly liked it, even 2 is exponentially better feeling

I have a few hours into both BN2 and BN3, and you're definitely right about that. I was mostly surprised that the first game lacks a normal run function without using an escape chip. I also wasn't expecting to feel so lost in the net all the time, but both of those problems I have with the first title seem to be fixed as time goes on.

The gameplay of the BN series is still really unique, and I look forward to the Soul Unisons and Beast Out mechanics found in the later titles.

I was also wondering if anyone here has played Cannon Spike on Dreamcast, and if so, what are your thoughts on the game? It features Mega Man as a (not-so-secret) playable character.

I find it rather charming me and Fake temporarily traded places, he rants about Ian and I rant about Ariga at the current moment.

Equivalent exchange, you might say. In order for me to read Archie, you have to read Ariga.

I have a confession to make.

I have not played any of the Mega Man Battle Network games.
I remember the first one came out and I was like "This is some kind of tactical rpg?? This isn't Mega Man! Where's the run and gun goodness!?"

I have not played any of the Mega Man Zero games. The art style change from Mega Man X turned me off so SO much I still have trouble looking at that version of Zero.

Am I a fool? Am I a fake fan? I've only beat Mega Man 1-11, Mega Man & Bass, the two arcade games, and Mega Man X 1-6.
DO I FAIL AT LIFE??

 

[Yousef Yousef]

Yes.

You're fine.

Yes.

I knew it.

Life is obviously only about Megaman.
Which is why Megaman X6 is legally classified as a war crime.

Mega Man X6 had sex with my spouse and peed on my children.

Megaman X7 caused 1,000,000,000 global deaths.

I could at least beat X6. I couldnt even make it through X7 or X8

Also, with the Tweaks romhack I kinda like X6

Don’t worry I don’t think most people have the mental capacity to do so.
That’s why you only see X7 fans at the hospital.

I have, but I'm a special case.

It’s ok, me too, I’ve been mentally diagnosed with “unironically liking X8”. It’s incurable.

I have a bizarre fascination with this game. My neighbors had a hacked dreamcast with a bunch of burned disks on it, and this was one of them. every few years I try in vain to beat the game, but with no luck. I really want to one of these days. It's weirdly fun... has a very bizarre soundtrack, and I have no idea how it came to be.
