Top 10 Reasons Why Megaman Is Overrated
Mega man was a series of games released in the 80's and 90's for the NES. There were also games released on newer platforms like the play station and psp. People praise megaman for the addictive gameplay and fun levels. But I think it's overratedI understand that you complain that Megaman games are all the same. However, I already said it, and I'll say it again, originality isn't important for me. In the case of Megaman, if you give me new levels to play, I'm satisfied. When a Megaman game is more original, like Megaman 11 with its double gear system, it's more a bonus rather than a necessity.
Every single installment on the NES (the only games in the series people care about other than X) is the same thing except new levels and bosses. Even the graphics remain the same. I mean capcom is just sitting behind their desks sipping a cup of coffee while making these games. Lazy jerks.
I don't think that Mega Man being the same game is the problem, but the fact that provide little innovation from sequel to sequel is why some fans left the series. This is also the same problem with Bomberman as well.
Solid titles, but no really all that innovative.
You can't just say that you hate megaman because it's the same every time because every game that has a sequel is the same. (well for the most part)
I will say it, Megaman 2 is the most overrated game I know for now. However, that doesn't mean the whole series is overrated. Especially since in the same series there is what is in my opinion the most underrated game of all time: Megaman and Bass. However, explaining why both Megaman and Bass, and Megaman 2 are respectly underrated, and overrated would take too much time.
His second game in particular is the most popular, and the most overrated. This is mega man 2 in a nutshell: oh, you don't have this item? Well you can't go here or fight this boss! Oh ho ho!
You're just mad because it's a more popular game then whatever Steam game you play
No, this is Mega Man 2 in a nutshell (for the most part): Two words. Metal. Blades.
This game in particular also is why he is overrated. Mega man will be to smash what funky kong was to Mario kart wii. Overused and overpowered. Just forget about megaman
Megaman is not that much used. At least not as much as Cloud. Actually, many people don't play megaman because his zoning playstyle is too complicated.
Shut up, megaman is awesome, Mario is the one who is overrated beyond overrated
Maybe Megaman's 2 music is overused but there are many underrated music tracks of Megaman. My favorite is Thunder Tornado from Megaman 9, which is in my opinion the best of 8 bit music.
You hear the mega man theme in a lot of YouTube videos and I hear it so much it just gets boring. Especially the megaman 2 title theme.
Then what would you define as good music? The overused Pursuit-Cornered theme? Corneria? World 1-1? LoZ overworld theme? Brinstar? Mute City?
Capcom is the owner of the megaman franchise, and they never use him. His last three games were cancelled, they blamed the fans for one of them, on disc dlc, and poor buyouts.
If the company sucks, but that the game are still good, it doesn't really matter.
First, you need to know that save feature takes more memory than a password system, and that therefore a password system is a very good replacement of a saving system. Not to mention that games like Super Mario Bros 3 didn't have a password or saving system, yet they are still popular. Also, since Megaman 8 and Megaman X4, megaman always had a saving system.
Why can't you save a mega man game? This just proves mega man is for anime loving toddlers in their basement wasting their life on their NES.
Just write down the password after each level or plat the post-SNES games.
Because battery saves didn't exist then? Hello?
Played the first 10 Mega Man games, and most of the sequels don't add anything really new. Yes, there's always a different weapon each game, but that's the same reason why Call of Duty is repetitive. New Super Maro Bros. is different from the first Super Mario Bros because it introduced new mechanics like Wall Jumping, or air spinning. Mega Man added a slide attack in the 3rd game, and a charge attack, but it doesn't seem like much compared to slope sliding or triple jumps.
Yea, most games are consistent, why fix what isn't broken? Also don't think this mattes when basically every series is the same. Mario is platforming, Call of Duty is literally the same game with updated graphics and different guns, Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat are always fighting games, Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy are always RPGs. What's your point?
Go into ___man's stage, kill dudes, avoid traps, fight ___man, kill it, repeat.
Try as they might, a newcomer most likely won't beat a single megaman stage. This means most gamers are turned away from mega man.
Actually, Megaman is one of the most fair games during the NES days, and that's one of the reasons why they aged so well.
New age game syndrome. Today's gamers expect to pick it up and beat it no problem and not have to work for it.
Sounds like you're just bad at the game, you sound butthurt.
Not to be racist, but winners in drawings for new mega man villains are almost always Japanese. Only 2 Americans ever won the drawings. I find mega man being too Japanese a problem because it means capcom is Being less generous toward other countries.
I really fail to see how this is relevant.
It's nor a proof that it's overrated
Just picture a typical cyborg. Then you have megaman. Great design, capcom.
He's a robot not a cyborg
How cool is that?! Not cool at all! Someone could've stopped Archie Comics from having exist Mega Man (Archie) Comics. Pac-Man (Archie) Comics could exist, not Sonic & Mega Man bull!
Battle Network was an innovative turn, if you complained that all the games are the same why are you putting this down?
Bass could do that in Megaman and Bass
Yeah what he said.
That was one year
I hate Archie Andrews, I hate Betty Cooper/ Veronica Lodge because she fights over Archie himself stereotypically, aggressively and horribly (WORST BLONDES VS. BRUNETTES RIVALRY EVER, IMAGINE IF THIS OCCURED WITH THE OVERRATED PRINCESS PEACH AND PRINCESS Zelda, FIGHTING FOR Mario'S HEART TERRIBLY! ), I have an extreme hatred towards all Archie Comics/Josie & the Pussycats characters, there was (almost) nothing decent in that insane Archie Comics franchise, the humor was terrible, the characters were a ruin of my life, the pairings were crappy, the plots pissed me off, the characters' personalities made me have a fit, it's everywhere in Canada, where I am from (isn't Archie Comics supposed to be American AND take place in British Columbia, where I am from?! ) but then the franchise overdoses on teen stereotypes. Why? Archie Sonic comics (which did not use to be so bad back in the 2nd millennium, but wait until 3rd millennium Archie Sonic comics! Worst comic series ever! And Archie ...more
You could crouch in Megaman X, also you don't need to crouch, you just need to not be terrible at the game.
Even though he was not intolerant and opportunistic, there was a moment at the end of Megaman 7, in which he is about to kill Wily because Bass nearly destroyed Dr. Light's lab, and even by his will, Megaman did not shoot Wily. But let's recap on this, if Megaman throws himself, this could strongly question his sense of hero's justice because of the inferiority complex, and he can become a very problematic person, even being dumb and very sympathetic, and if he arrived a moment when he would furiously hurt a bad person and realize that people are afraid of him, he can understand this very well and go into a great depression and run away from home.
THINK ABOUT IT, does megaman EVER not shoot something in the game? It is pointless. I would rather eat a 10 ft long sandwich than play that trash.
