Ability to learn to intuit patterns in a low-risk environment is a plus.pattern recognition/memorization is not bad game design.
That is subjective.
Theres a ton of games, especially older arcade games, that revolve around this gameplay.
But you're entitled to your preferences
Fun is subjective. Memorizing every moves of every characters in a fighting game is part of the training.Whether it's hard or not is not the point. The point is that rote memorization isn't fun for most people and is a bad game design.
Come to think about it, two shades of blue was a good idea for visibility.
I mean a good chunk of the Dark Souls challenge is also designed to be intuited. Animations to roughly convey to you what's the enemy will do, subtle signs of earlier tragic ends and obvious trapped objects in the scenery/texturing, the mimic dormant animation once you realize they exist. Caution and observation are rewarded a lot. One might develop a habit of scanning for ambushes at every bottleneck.Fun is subjective.

Bad game design because it's challenging? Just try harder then. Dark Souls is entirely based on memorizing the level layout, enemy placement and boss patterns and is a masterclass of game design.
I always thought it was a really good and super strong concept how the stages also were kind of part of the bosses’ identities themselves because they’re always so themed. Makes them kind of a three-parter kinda deal (stage, boss, music, maybe even four due to the powers you get) with so much personality, and I feel like very few games have done it as well as MM.Another hot take: Mega Man bosses are incredibly boring and kind of just there, with a few exceptions (Mecha Dragon in 2, Sunstar in W5, all bosses in MM&B).

It could be because each subseries has a different protagonist, and "sagas" is a synonym for subseries in Spanish.I noticed that a lot of Latin American Mega Man fans refer to the subseries as "sagas." Why is that?
Specifically major arcs that encompass many smaller arcs that form a greater conflict.I remember that sometimes narrative arcs in shonens are called "sagas" as well as video game series.
I guess it's another way of naming a following narrative story of a set piece.
I was used to people saying something like "the Namek/Freezer saga" in DBZ. I've learnt about Arc a bit later.It could be because each subseries has a different protagonist, and "sagas" is a synonym for subseries in Spanish.
PS: Hi, nice to meet you. I hope you ando me can talk more. I'm new to this forum, haha.
I see, a Saga may be composed of arcs.Specifically major arcs that encompass many smaller arcs that form a greater conflict.

I could say the Prime saga instead of the Prime subseries for Metroid.
Back to Megaman I see that Classic and X are probably the two major ones whereas MMZ/MMZX is a semi sequel and Rockman.Exe/Battle Network and Starforce are spinoffs.
didn't you post a timeline pic that showed that it is the same universe, it only differed because dr light chose to do more internet related stuff in the battle network timeline instead of robot stuff?BN and SF are really, really not spin-offs. Not only are they set in their own universe, they don't even share gameplay style with the rest of the franchise.
Not Light specifically, necessarily. It's the general direction human technological advancement went, because one doctor's vision was chosen over the other's.didn't you post a timeline pic that showed that it is the same universe, it only differed because dr light chose to do more internet related stuff in the battle network timeline instead of robot stuff?
