Great Wily fight this game has. The final UFO phase having your forced back and forth between playing Rock and Roll on the fly is such a great finale. I'm gonna have to go back and see how the final stages play out without rescuing the friends. Seems like it actually might make some stuff trickier, ...

I never said it's not iconic or that I don't like it!

But you look at it alongside any robot master designs past the original 6 robot masters from MM1 it's noticeably less detailed.

Figuring out boss weaknesses really is one of those things that never feels great in the classic MM games. Trying to remember how to use each weapon at the same time as learning/remembering the boss pattern and factoring those 2 things together to actually land a shot. Sometimes it's not even just a...

Not sure if it's cheating cause it's supposed to be off the top of my head, but I made an educated guess. A game with organic shrimp would probably be something that takes place in the ocean. Any other game that just happens to have a water level would just feature the first few obvious sea creature...

That's not a real shrimp, it's a faxim- faxcsi- A Fax Machine.

Nothing in video games is real. Except for light.

I like this level. The floor popout spikes definitely caused me some issues, including getting a game over at the final one of the level right before the boss. Though I'll say Skull Man's side path was my least favorite of the 4 friends. For some reason it wasn't clicking with me and I kept dying. H...

I like this level but yeah it's long and putting a boss at the end where, in order to hit it, you need to stand with your back facing a pit so you'll be knocked back into it if you get hit is pretty rude.

The story seems to once again involve irl historical figures, but at the very least it seems like I'm following my character's own mission that feels like I'm working towards something, rather than just randomly schmoozing with Japanese emperors or whatever. I understand the individual missions, I'...

Also had trouble here and got mad at the lives system. It's not the most intuitive boss, kinda seems like you'll need a few attempts to understand the pattern at which point it becomes pretty easy. But in the meantime it's annoying to have to do the level a few times. I also figured you'd do the exa...

Yeah the author did a pretty cool thing with the castle stages in this game. Switching back and forth between Rock and Roll on the fly is a really cool mechanic. And having a bit of choice in the order you tackle Rock/Roll stages like we saw at the end there.

Wow, that safe-zone by the dandelion is a game-changer. I never figured that out and she's a real pain otherwise.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcaPiiFZu2o I believe this was the first robot master I killed in my playthrough. I originally started with Beetle Lady but... had issues. But ended up choosing Tide Man as my next option since he seemed like a logical weakness for another boss. Bubble power's buoyanc...

This was a boss I had to learn to fight with the buster because I got to her sans weakness. I feel like there's some other Mega Man game I played where a boss has a pattern where they can either jump halfway across the battlefield then slide, or slide halfway across then jump. Or something similar. ...

Props on finding the letter on your first go. That was one I didn't find on my own, and annoyingly it's literally right before the boss door so you have to do the entire level over again if you miss it. Polar Woman is a pretty cool boss, I don't think I've ever seen a Mega Man boss that challenged y...

I like the ghost lady fight. It's unique, fast-paced, and most importantly I was able to surmise her pattern pretty quickly even though I'm usually terrible at boss fights in these games. By the way, may or may not be useful info but I figure I should mention it since I never figured it out until af...

drake man is literally just roahm mythril I was gonna say, I'm not an artist so I don't know what exactly it is that makes his design look less like a drake-themed robot master and entirely like someone's fursona. It's kind of... out of place. Even his in-game sprite is oddly small and strange too.

You overcomplicated the time-bombs. If you're on a bomb that's about to explode you can just jump before it explodes and not get hit

I was tipped off to the existence of Mega Man: Rock N Roll thanks to raocow's LP. I watched the intro cutscene and figured it might be something I'd be interested in so I downloaded it and played through the intro stage last night, as well as trying out Beetle Lady's stage. Which turned out to be a ...

Something weird about the bosses having bits of their heads popping out from their portraits in the level select screen. This seems to imply we're not looking at like an in-universe monitor display, but rather it's like a Hollywood Squares type setup and the bosses are physically standing in the roo...

Well, I'm glad I finally got to see what this game had to offer. I was kinda passively following, sometimes getting several days behind in episodes. In part because I went to Mexico at the beginning of the month and didn't have a lot of time to be watching YouTube videos. It's probably for the best ...

Continuing on my theme of playing games that released on March 22, 2024 I started playing through Rise of the Ronin . This game wasn't even super on my radar? I think I had seen some trailers for it while watching Summer Video Game Commercials but it didn't stand out to me much. I saw it mentioned o...

Finished off Princess Peach: Showtime . I beat the main game a couple days ago, and 100% tonight. It's uh... quite unimpressive overall. It's just ridiculously easy, you kinda just move forward and mash B. The game makes it very hard to ever lose. But then on the other hand, the completionist story ...

I just played through The Last Guardian, and it's a very similar experience to the most recent Rain World episode in that you ride around on a giant wild animal going "No, go that way. Other way. No, go the other way. Other way. Other way"

Alright I played a bit more of the Peach game and I think I actually hate it in its current state. So the game's pretty easy. That's fine, it's targeted to little kids and you have the optional challenge of getting all the collectibles in every level. That's what I'm trying to do, but they make it S...

Finished Mars After Midnight , and while I generally enjoyed it I have to say I'm a bit underwhelmed that the gameplay never became very substantial. It has all the mechanics needed to make a hectic juggling game, but it doesn't actually test you on anything. I thought that, e.g. when I was cleaning...
