Mega Man

This game fucking sucks.
What do people see in this series?

Mega Man 1's extremely rough around the edges, give 4 a shot instead.

So basically just skip 1-3?

What if Metroid wasn’t garbage and actually required skill?

you jump and shoot, its pretty fun

yeah pretty much
introducing the charge shot is when things really took off

Just play megaman x, anything on the nes is pretty much unplayable at this point.
>inb4 zoomer

Wow what a retarded thread

>inb4 the truth

Fuck off, child.

Nah its great

Yeah, at least for now. If you get into the series, feel free to give them a go later, but 4's where they really worked out the formula.
There's also a bunch of sequel/spin-off series that might be up your alley as well.

Your taste fucking sucks.

Metroid's main appeal is the "atmosphere" and graphics, because it's gamer baby's first sci-fi.
I've never seen anybody say it was fun to play.

If you don't find anything charming about MM1, the series isn't for you.

I am a longtime Megaman Megafan. I've been playing since the early 90s and I love this series. That said, even I don't give the first game a free pass. I'm surprised the series even survived for a Mega Man 2 because the first game was so janky and rough. Anything after 1 is a fine place to start, and like another user said in this thread, 4 is a really good starting point. Go back to 1-3 if you're curious, but please don't gauge this series' quality on its first game.

Define "charming". Because MM1 is far from it.

Music, art style, enemy designs and animations. It's a classic optimistic far future where everything is wacky.

Castlevania > Mega Man

no, just 1 and 3. then go back to them later if you want.

Metroid > Castlevania

People should really say 'good for its time'
I remember playing that as a kid and thinking it was great. But that shit did not age well.
I appreciate what it introduced though.

retard nigger

This
neck yourselves

Reading this thread I think I must be the only person who feels Megaman 1 is like perfect in almost every sense and just can't get into the games after it.

1 is liquid ass. Not even sure how it got a sequel

For what it is the game is with consideration of when it came out the game is fine until you realize 99% percent of other mega man games are better than it and no real reason to come back

>I'm surprised the series even survived for a Mega Man 2 because the first game was so janky and rough
Well, remember it was a NES game and a lot of NES platformers were fucking garbage so I'm sure people were used to it.

>tfw I'm one of the few people that preferred Castlevania before SOTN
I want Classicvania back bros

IIIIII AM MEGA MAN
I GOT A MOTHERFUCKING GUN FOR A HAND

Metroid is fun to play

Also most people didn't have a frame of reference to what decent video games were and the bar was lower

just like movies in the 80s and 90s were worse and the bar for entertainment was lower
