Mega Man Legacy Collection 2

I'll share the my backloggd reviews here Mega Man 7 To start off for a game that was developed in only 3 months it is surprisingly good despite it really showing in some areas mainly the ending. Has i mainly play newer games the level design in this entry can really keep up with more modern games besides the difficulty where it can vary along the different levels as i said the ending is where the difficulty really spikes at the end boss. Speaking about quality of life if your going to play this game today beware of the lacking of it you cannot quit stages you have to beat it or lose all of your lives hitboxes are also janky but expected as it's an older game. The bosses are great but some have unreactable attacks which makes you anticipate them and not react to them besides that some of them have great designs others are simple and cliche the bosses over all have an honest difficulty with the exception of some. The soundtrack is also great some of the tracks are some of the best 8bit osts i have listened too it fits really well the games atmoshphere. The last thing i have to say is about the sound effects they are very satisfying and addicting to listen too very well made. I saw that the bosses are selected from a comunity contest which made me really happy knowing capcom really listenend to their fans. Mega Man 8 Starting this game the first thing I noticed after playing it right after Mega Man 7 are the graphics they are a HUGE improvement from the previous entry and some of the best pixel art i've ever seen which really is a surprise since this game came out in 1996 the backgrounds and animations are so well detailed and there are a lot of subtle ones in some of the enemies. Mega Man himself has so much personality and although he can feel and seem a little slow the jump, walk and running animation are super fluid they incorporated some of the smoothest exagerations i've ever seen. The boss design is very good as well and a huge leap from 7 the silhoettes are amazing and they have great colours in contrast of Mega Man 7 this one has very distinct and recognizable bosses. As for the sound design and music they are also very well made and some of the tracks besides complementing the stage are also very catchy and stay in my head even after playing through them. The sound effects are also super satisfying and they incorporated a little voice acting which was a good choice mainly in Mega Man the bosses can be a little goofy but charming. The cutscenes are funny they tried to make the game a little more serious but the voice acting was not the best which made me laugh a lot of times and I can't not laugh at a person voice acting Rush the dog. As for the gimmicks they are fine in the stages the snowboarding segments were very fun in some levels but could be a little frustrating in some of the later stages. The boss fights are also really good with good patterns and attacks they feel very honest and not some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Very good game I have almost no negatives to talk about it besides the character feeling a little slow Mega Man 9 In my honest opinion one of the worst ways to make a sequel Mega Man 9 goes back to being 8 bit after what i think was one of the most gorgeus pixel art displays in gaming in Mega Man 8. It really makes me feel disapointed because when the franchise was moving and modernizing itself capcom decided to go back to the old roots to nostalgia bait their fans removing CHARGED SHOT one of the mechanics that made mega man so fun as well as sliding. Instead of keeping on adding new cool stuff and mechanics modernizing their franchise they decided to remove stuff It's is maybe one of the worst decisions i've ever seen in gaming and one that I will be forever disapointed. They could have improved and changed so much but they keep pleasing their old fans which keeps them from really develop Mega Man. They even got their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cover back even worse this time. In my classic Mega Man reviews at some point i couldn't keep reviewing and talking about new stuff because the games from 1 to 6 were all almost identical and when they finaly shiftet direction in mega man 7 and 8 they for some dumbass reason decided to go back to 8 bit and keep on the boring classic mega man tittles. Such a disapointment of a franchise with so much missed potential. I've dropped the final boss willy as it is complete garbage and I won't be playing 10 because from what i've seen it's mega man 9 all over again. Old fans need to accept the game needs to change and not praise the complete garbage that was this degrade but after seeing how fans hate Mega Man 8 it is impossible. It is incredibly frustrating seeing a company listen too much to their fan base and not progressing with their own ideas. It is important to mantain and preserve the original essence of the game with their core mechanics but removing stuff that they have added that actually worked and made the game more fun just to please their old fans is infuriating. The worst sequel i've ever seen in gaming. I love to see games evolve not devolve just to be certain their going to please some people. I'd love to see a game where they at least tried to make something new It could be bad but at least theres some experimentation. It could also be great and improve the franchise it is a risk worth taking. Mega Man 10 Won't play
