Mega Man 10

[Edible]

Then there were the problems not even mute would solve, like the jetboard sections and Megaman looking like he was half-asleep the entire game.

To be fair, I would be half-asleep too if I starred in Megaman 8.

[Tamer Anode/Cathode]

No. Vanishing block puzzles are easy shit. Always have been, always will be.

EDIT: In fairness, I guess they haven't ALWAYS been easy shit, since MegaMan 2's were pretty nasty. That's about it, though.

MM2's weren't too bad, mostly because you could skip them pretty much entirely with the Items (although I assume we've all heard Team Nekokan's lecture on the subject). Go play Ice Man's stage in the first game for "nasty".

Megaman 1 and the Gameboy megaman games want a word with you.

Dont forget Heatman without your items.

[Kilgamayan]

Nothing wrong with the disappearing blocks in Megaman 1. The problem was the assholes at the end of Ice Man's stage AFTER the blocks.

I don't remember enough about the Game Boy games, though I can't remember any in III.

Item 2.

Wait, what? How is a criticism of the music "inane"? Music is a damn important aspect of any MegaMan game, and if it sucks there's a very good chance the game is going to suck as well.

By that logic, Mega Man X3 is the worst game of the X series, not 7. :V

What else about the game can I criticize to meet your seemingly arbitrary standards about what isn't inane? The level designs? Mediocre at best and entirely lacking in difficulty outside of the jetboards. Bosses? Nothing special, and some of them (AquaMan) help further the voice acting criticism.

I thought AstroMan and ClownMan's stages were pretty neat. FrostMan's stage is just plain gorgeous to look at. If you think the voice acting is really all that terrible, then I think your standards are a little bit too high. AquaMan is pretty bad, yes. Dr. Light's voice could have been fine if his actor had a little more time in English class. Mega Man's voice is a little too high pitched in game, but he sounds pretty darn close to a real 10-year old during the FMV sequences. Everyone else sounds perfect IMO. They look like characters out of a Saturday morning cartoon, and they sound like it too.

EDIT: In fairness, I guess they haven't ALWAYS been easy shit, since MegaMan 2's were pretty nasty. That's about it, though.

You forgot the blocks in Magnet Man's stage. And *Shrug* difficulty is subjective. I just dun have the patience for the blocks. The jet board sections (and the hover bikes in MMX) were always a total blast to me though.

To be fair, I would be half-asleep too if I starred in Megaman 8.

A wise woman once told me only the boring get bored~

[An Odd Sea Slug]

The problem with the voices was not what they sounded like but the fact that the actors couldn't act worth shit. :V

[Suikama]

cough

[Kilgamayan]

I didn't forget the blocks in Magnet Man's stage because they're not hard. >_>

Also I actually liked X3's music. One of the few, but still. I do appreciate the misrepresentation by trying to suggest I'm saying music is the #1 deciding factor in how good a MegaMan game is, though!

Odda already covered the voice acting thing.

(And everyone can stop saying Item-2 in response to HeatMan's disappearing blocks because Item-2 is the pussy way out.)

And this invalidates the "it's so bad its hilarious" opinion... how?

Not everything has to be either "perfect" or "suck", there's a crapload of gray area.

[An Odd Sea Slug]

Wait, I was trying to invalidate something? Oh snap. :/

If you want this that badly, I'll grant that MM8 is decent as a stand-alone game. It just doesn't compare very well to other MegaMan games.

Most agree the series peaked at 3 and was clearly going downhill from there until 7 revived it. From 4 to 6 the quality was noticably dropping, so if you asked most people around that time they'll probably agree that megaman didn't need anymore games. Megaman 7 was a sign the series was growing up with its audence by introducing more development to the characters and story beyond "Wily is a prick and Megaman has to stop him".

[Kilgamayan]

"Most" agree? Who are these people being polled? I've honestly never heard that assessment of MM7 before. o_O

Er, what?

Most agree the series peaked at 3 and was clearly going downhill from there until 7 revived it.

I say this because.... Well, isn't it commonly agreed that the series went downhill from MM4-6?

I know there's a lot of dispute whether MM8 was good or bad, but I could swear MM7 was commonly agreed to be good.

[Kilgamayan]

I thought 4 was vastly better than 7. 6 I'd put about on 7's level, though. Maybe a little under, since 7 did have some good music while 6 had almost nothing. 5...I'm really weird, but I found 5 to have some strange indescribable charm to it that makes me like it more than I probably should (despite introducing the infuriating Lose Charge mechanic). Maybe it's the severely underrated OST, maybe it's Gravity Man's stage, maybe it's using Super Arrow on a boss, I dunno, but there's something about the game that gives it a special place in my heart.

I would definitely put 7 ahead of 8, though, and quite probably would put 6 ahead of 8 as well.

I'm sure if Bob & George were still around we'd get some jokes over the fact Wily is continuing his theme of having innuendo-sounding masters...

Really, sometimes I wonder if that guy is high when he makes his robot masters (and Needleman and Stoneman sure don't help things...).

[Gregory House]

The robot master names sound interesting.

Chill man sounds like the coolest, its my favorite name out of all of them; I'm more interested in how they look and their weapons though.

..Also apparently there is no multiplayer; though the game is fine without it in my opinion.

All Robot Masters revealed!

Commando Man, Pump Man and maybe Strike Man are the only ones who don't look incredibly dumb in terms of design. But at least Nitro Man can transform into a motorcycle.

Oh and Pump Man has the obligatory shield weapon.

[communist unity (comm-unity)]

rise.

we have our box art, gentlemen. (or at least 2/3rds of it!)

also the game comes out in march can't wait   :toot:

Bumping this thread, as I've only managed to get now what has been common knowledge, that is: the new robot master names. They sound effing retarded. Mega Man has always been cheesy, at least the NES ones, but a baseball themed RM? PUMP MAN? SHEEP MAN?
What the hell.

Dust Man was in MM4 and that still hasn't been topped for sheer lunacy.

[GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em]

I think they ran out of ideas around the time they introduced a Canadian robot ski instructor with a giant underground battleship.

[FinnKaenbyou]

Hey, at least it's better than Duff McWhalen.

"The original design wasn't altered much, as the power to suck mightily was an integral part of both designs."

If it is Roll I will die from a joy-induced heart attack.

She was in Mega Man Powered Up! With over 20 costumes. She beat things with a broom, and surprisingly, was a better character than Megaman in every way.

No Mega Man boss is as stupid as Burn Rooster. None.
