Mega Man Megathread

[fake-kun]

I have a few Mega Man fan games I've been sitting on for 5+ years and just got around to playing.
Rock Force, Rock 'N Roll, and Super Fighting Robot.
Started playing Rock 'N Roll first and it's pretty good. It's got some fun special weapons too.
I recommend it.

Mega Man Rock N Roll is so fucking good. Legit one of the best Mega Man games I've ever played.

Have you tried Megaman Eternal, Megaman Armada, or Megaman 2.5D?

I haven't heard of the first 2. I'll have to check those out.
I played a bit of 2.5D. Cool concept but it wasn't for me.

I remember playing Rock Force YEARS back and really enjoying it, but never finished it. Probably should try it out again some day.
Think the last Mega Man fan game I played was The Sequel Wars Episode Red.

You guys have probably already seen this, but have this amazing-ness.

I'm surprised how well it fits.

Played Rock 'n Roll for the first time earlier today. Pretty fun game so far, but man, Reactor Man was one tough boss.

Megaman X8 demake is amazing. Im almost done with it and its the best homebrew megaman project for me so far. Its so good

Megaman X8 demake has absolutely awful on my end. I already dislike X8 as a base game and don’t see how this homebrew improves it. I recommend Rock n Roll instead.

Oh? I wonder why, since I didn't like the demake either.

What do you dislike about it? I enjoyed X8 for what it was on release and haven't touched it since.

It’s pretty complicated cuz my issues with an X game can be pretty deep seated and range from “I don’t like this conceptually at all” to “this is just boring”.

And also just general issues with fan remakes or really any kind of remake but basically…

X8 is a game I probably would dislike any version of period. It’s a game that shouldn’t have existed. All of its ideas were completely terrible and it doesn’t matter that you can circumvent some issues like the grind cuz they shouldn’t have been there to begin with.

X8 is interesting in its flaws, it’s interesting that Capcom was so utterly confident in shipping a game with almost zero level design. There’s like only total 3 or 4 stages that aren’t just you going through a glorified obstacle. HOW do you fix that?? You don’t. You just turn it into a generic 2d action game. The bosses in x8 are just nothing special. I’m in favor of remaking bad games but X8 should’ve left as is. The best version of X8 is already the ps2 version because any further changes too would make to X8 just be “adding water to mud”, as we say here.

Also, the SNES X games have had historically terrible fan games across the board. It does not blend itself all that well into fan creations. I loved X2 but i just generally dislike the X games almost entirely. Too much dumb edgelords bring edgy. Even though you could argue it’s non canon, “I fixed myself while I repaired myself” permanently ruined how I view the characters.

Now this is devolving into a tangent but To be completely honest, battlenetwork is superior to X in every way aesthetically speaking. BN is beautiful but X has all these silly renders I wanna punch. I’d punch X7’s Axl if I see him in the street. What a loser.

Ah yeah and I like legends too.

That's an interesting take because I grew up with mostly the X series. Thanks for sharing. What do you think of the zero series?
