The classic NES games, I mean.mods can we get a ban on this troll? tia
I hate them. I don't understand what's so great about them! I think they're just too hard. Even for their time, I think the MegaMan games were incredibly simple. Don't get me wrong, the level design is pretty interesting and the graphics have a certain appealing style, but I have my complaints.
The physics of MegaMan just make me wanna vomit. Mind you I've only been able to play MegaMan emulated on my Xbox and on my PC, but still. Jumping feels so unnatural and uncontrolable. MegaMan jumps like a wimp. He can jump pretty high, but not nearly enough in front of him! I don't like his weapon, either. Going around shooting balls out of my arm isn't cool! I want assault rifles and machine guns. A choice of different primary weapons would be kind of nice, like Contra style weapon pickups for instance. Okay, maybe MegaMan DOES have these, but I just haven't gotten that far. I don't know.
And why the hell can't I duck?! The lack of a simple feature such as ducking makes me hate this game a whole lot. With all these enemies shooting shit right at my face, I'd like to be able to duck under projectiles instead of having to jump 10 feel over them, and usually right into spikes or some flying bastard above me! I do like the fact that I at least get a pretty good sized health bar, but most of the time I'm panicing and praying that bad guys will shit out more health for me when I kill them since I suck at MegaMan so much. The music. I also like the music.
That being said... why should I like MegaMan? What's the big deal?
You sound like a little bitch imo, most of the NES megaman games are hardcore.
Megaman is a robot made out of v. strong metal! It's hard for him to jump like mario does fyi
I think they're just too hard. Even for their time,Clearly you haven't played games for their time at their time. Ever play Burger Time? Silver Surfer? Karate Kid? Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles? Battletoads? I could go on. There are crazy freaking games from back then. Megaman is barely one of them. If I had the patience I could learn the spawn points of each enemy in the level, because once I know this the game is pretty easy imo.

I don't like Megaman at all either. Like dude said, I like the ideas and universe and plot bla bla bla, but the game itself is very boring.
Mega Man 1 does have wonky physics because MM SLIDES 1 pixel when you land from a jump and a lot of platforms (especially the moving ones in Iceman's stage) require pixel perfect jumping.A lot of people think this is a bug for some reason. He slides a little bit when you stop running (or when you land, continue running for as much as one frame, and then stop). It doesn't happen when you land from a jump without holding down left or right because there's no reason for him to slide if he only has vertical momentum. In fact, I can show you the assembly code that does it if you're interested.

just fyi all of you saying megaman was too hard outta replay them now. they aren't too bad, they were just tougher than most NES shit and were tough for kids.
I beat a few of them and I suck at videogames so.
mega man games are excellent but if you did not grow up playing the classic games as a kid and instead you grew up with SOCOM and Halo and stupid shit then yeah it's probably kinda hard to see why they're so good. it's a lot like people who complain about classic films. CASABLANCA SUCKS WHAT IS THIS BLACK AND WHITE SHIT I WANT MY COLORS AND CGI AND MICHAEL BAY!!well no not entirely because the problem i and a lot of other people have with classic nes games like that isn't the lack of eye candy; i couldn't give a shit about that. it is how insanely hard and frustrating and cheap and repetitive they are. you could shine it up and put it in a new box and i'd still hate it and not really understand the appeal of KJKJK FUCK I DIED TIME TO START OVER KJFDLKJFK THIS IS SO HARD (see: modern Ninja Gaiden games).
also ninja gaiden's a little tough, so's DMC, but fuck SHINOBI forever. jesus christ.Shinobi 2 on the Game Gear. Most frustrating game I've probably ever played.
Halo and stupid shitOh no you didn't. The Halo series is pretty good, although the campaign modes are fairly boring. The multiplayer is what's good, unless you meant campaign mode exclusively.
Megaman games really aren't that difficult though! I mean they can be kinda hard especially in the Wily castle stages but I would hardly consider them INSANELY DIFFICULT. Shit like Contra or whatever where there are literally five million bullets on screen at any given time and getting hit just once will instantly kill you is insanely difficult. In Megaman you actually have a life bar and recharge pickups and energy tanks and infinite continues and passwords acting as pseudo saves so you don't have to constantly start the game over.yeah youre probably right. i mean i don't think i'm too accustomed to easy games because we are the exact same age and i grew up on nes/snes just like you did, but i think it is more that i just suck at videogames and find newer easier games JUUUUUST RIIIIIIGHT.
Also while you argue that old NES games are too hard I would say that the problem is actually that new games are just too easy and maybe you're just too accustomed to them. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that I seriously cannot remember ever seeing a gameover screen since I was like idk 12. Do modern games even have gameovers or do you just infinitely respawn and continue along with your autorecharging health bar?
But to put it into perspective, I didn't like any NES game. They all felt like I was playing PONG rather than anything otherman i feel so old
As in, the designers were fucking stupid and didn't pay attention to what they were doing.
man i feel so oldhahahaha
i was alive and conscious for the days when atari was the most incredible technology. a friend of mine had an atari 5200 system and i thought he was from the future

I wanna shoot enemies above me!Play Kid Icarus!
Play Kid Icarus!man, my friend bought kid icarus at the flea market a while ago and every now and then we try to play through it but just don't have those kinds of skills anymore :(
(Atari 2600 was a good system! I liked a lot of games on it. (Even Pac-Man))
This is a valid point! Also, you need Rush to get to high places. Megaman isn't Astro, sheesh!

Why don't you play Halo then? Assault rifles? Are you kidding me?
Most every NES game is like this. Where were you?
