I just want to tell you guys that as a lonely, fourty year old dude, you are like friends for me though you don't even know me. I love videogames, would love to hang with my friends if I had any who still wanted to do that but as I don't have those, I watch this show and I have hope that people like you still exist.
I have my friends my age and NONE of them play videogames!!! Im like what the f!!!
We've made a life of it...
Wtf???? 😂😂😂😂😂
It’s a lonely world out there stay strong
As a 42-year-old, this is some sad shit to read. I don't know your situation, but I don't have "friends" to hangout and play games with. Instead, I've got kids, a wife, and an unrelenting amount of work to contend with.
I wish I had friends I could BS with, too, if I had free time, but I don't think that's how it goes for most folks with those kinds of responsibilities.
Rob imitating the mega man 8 voice…. I’m dead 😂
Legit had to pause the video because I couldn't stop laughing!
7:00 the moment
Rob: I don't like megaman battle network
Me: Straight to jail
Yea i love thos games but i get why he doesn't. Their for da RPG gamers.
Do not pass GO, do not collect $200
“Jump! Jump! Slide! Slide!” Haunts the dreams of many a mega man fan…
Love the passion Rob man! 😁
I love 8, but I literally couldn’t get past the snow boarding level at Wiley’s Castle
Grr. I hated that about Mega Man 8. And I didn't play it until the Legacy Collection. It's still brutal!!!!
If they wanted to up the difficulty they would have taken out the jump/slide alert (and let you appreciate the music on the level)
I'm such a weeb that I played the Japanese version of Megaman 8. Funny enough, I loved that aspect of the game. Guess that makes me a bad person.
I just love the vibe of your channel.
Most gaming channels these days always approach topics with a general cynicism.
You on the other hand always stay positive even on the subject of games you don't like.
Couldn't agree more!
Mega Man 8 was my first MM game. Love it to this day, childhood right there.
Gotta love some of the techno-elevator spa tunes. :P Weird soundtrack and a complete departure compared 1-6.
X7 is easily the worst MM game ever made. X6 was rushed and sloppy, MM5 & 6 were just straight up bland and 10 is probably the most disappointing sequel after coming from something so incredible, ala' MM9, which is easily top-tier in classic series.
2, 1, 9, even 7, maybe 11, X, X2 & X4 take the cake for me.
My first mega man game was mega man 2 we rented it at blockbuster the first time I played it back in 1989
@@BoboBreez Mega Man 2 is my favorite! Followed closely by 3. 8 and X5 were my childhood (amazing soundtracks)
I always find it odd in a game where storytelling isn't the biggest focus that people purely dislike it because of its voice acting. The snowboard sections are admittedly annoying and I muted the game for that but I think 8 has some really interesting level design and good boss fights.
Same. I borrowed 8 from a friend, then got Legends then Battle Network 3 and the Anniversary Collection on GameCube
Jump jump, slide slide, Rage Quit Rage Quit
Lol I remember raging at that part sooo many times! It was actually my first MegaMan game! The soundtrack and the cutscenes/ voice acting are all so nostalgic tho!
Mega Man 3?
Mega Man 8 is the most underrated installment
@@Anonymous-oh4xwthe best one in the series you mean
@@jayt2917 I like Mega Man 3 I just thought the commenter was talking about the Mega Man 3 since this game introduced the slide.
We did an interview with Ruth Jarman, the voice actress for Mega Man in MM8 (and X in X4) and it was really insightful. The qualification to be on the game was to speak English and be in Japan. There was no direction at all, no context or name pronunciations, the scripts still said Rockman, explaining why Light stumbles in that one scene, and the list goes on. It's oretty fascinating stuff just knowing what went on behind the scenes.
As for Battle Network, the Legacy Collection has really done a lot of good. I never played the original releases, but the LC allows you to basically skip the random encounters. The first game is kinda rough, but they get pretty darn fun.
As for beating X7, would you consider doing Rookie Hunter Mode in the X Legacy Collection, just to get through it and move onto X8? I'd hate for a new game to finally come out and for you be stuck unable to play it.
Thanks for the video, guys! Always a good time!
Man, i just skipped it
He barely caught himself from saying "Walkman"
It's great to see friends who enjoy and talk about video games after decades. A lot of my close friends stopped playing games once they got married. It's always a treat to see the both of you in a video.
I loved this video. If it makes Rob feel any better, a lot of English dubs for anime in the 80s and 90s had bad voice acting.
They didn’t care
Pretty sure they lived through that era. They know.
Or the dubs for the old Godzilla movies ha ha.
One thing I’ll give Battle Network is it lets you move around during battles. Almost no other RPG does that, you just randomly “dodge” attacks sometimes. That real-time element gave BN a big strategic edge. That said… the games getting better as they added new tricks and cleaned up the formula means they get worse the further backwards you go. Except 4. That one’s just cruel.
The less said about Battle Chip Challenge, the better. I beat that stupid game way back and man was it terrible.
X7 is the game I used to hate, but when I was 16-17 I made the choice to only have my PS2 and a copy or X7 with me for a week. I sat down with it being the ONLY video game I could play during that time (and in the summer with no part time job no less), and sat there speed running it over and over and over again. Eventually got to the point where I memorized where all the reploids were, learned to exploit all the bosses, and ran through the game as each character multiple times. By the end of it all, I appreciated the game a lot more, and learned to love it for what it was lol. When X legacy collection 2 came out MANY years later, I found I still liked it! So yeah, there’s a reason I’m listed as one of the first people to earn a platinum in it on PSN lol. Because I’m that crazy guy who likes X7 (and 5, 6 and 8) enough to 100% within a few days of the games release
Granted Battlenetwork 1 is the first RPG Battlenetwork game so it’s rough and that elecman stage was… something. Battlenetwork is still my favourite Megaman series though
I'm glad the Battle Network collection has the Buster Max Mode. It makes the first game more bearable.
MM2 is not only one of the best NES games of all time, but the OST is top 5 🐐
Masterbootrecord's cover of the Dr Wily stage music is just *chef's kiss
No way. I'll admit Batlle Network has some clunky dungeons and corny story, but it's charming as heck and the combat system is amazing.
This is one of the best and funniest episode ever 😂 I laughed my ass off, Rob is amazing and great person.
Rob you have to give Battle Network another honest shot! 1 is pretty bare bones but every game after it improved and added more and more unique elements and power ups. And fixed the awful world layouts compared to the first one.2 adds elemental style changes and by 4 megaman was completely changing his look to look like the bosses and get their powers. It's probably my second favorite Mega Man series.
The elemental armor sucked though, very bland.
And though the styles in 3 were better, they were still confining and strategically not great (though I played against my brother so that actually mattered more)
4's overall layout of needing to be beaten three times might be off putting to some people.
But it's still my absolute favorite Megaman series.
To be fair what he describing it he just doesn’t like it the collecting and using the battle chips in general so it’s kinda gonna suck if you treat it like an og mega man game.
Ugh, I remember really trying to like Mega Man x7 anyone play long enough to remember the games save system? “Would you like to save? (Yes) “Are you sure you really want to save?”
Love both of you guys. Found your channel in a dark time and it was like hanging out with friends. I can't thank you enough Johnny, Rob, Kim, Andrew and even Swagger. I'm doing a lot better now and you're all a part of that.
Not in any order but Battlenetwork on the Gamecube i was like wtf is this ,Megaman Soccer ,X7 ,X8 and i have a contreversial i hate Megaman 7 always hate it was slow as hell i imagine it was because of the hype of Megaman X was so high that going back to Megaman 7 was really bad for me !!!
I will never forget how disappointed i was when I got the MM Aniversary Collection on GameCube. Not only that they got the buttons mapped backwards which rendered the game Unplayable for a Vet of the series but the fact that you couldn't change the button mapping in the options was mind blowing. True Disappointment. You weren't the only one.
How they messed that up is beyond me!! Like nobody mentioned it during play testing or development? Lol
They got it right on the PS2, tho.
Mega-MAN? More like Mega-Prepubescent-Boy!
That voice is crayyyyy 🤯
Yeah that was wild lol
Mega Man was always supposed to be a 10-yo boy, but his voice in 8, though???
There's a hacked version of the anniversary collection out there that fixes the button layout thankfully. Emulation works too of course, but yeah that stupid button layout infuriated me as well.
So I'm 28. Didn't have a lot of classic MegaMan games growing up. The three I did have?
MegaMan 8, MegaMan X7 and MegaMan Legends. I always thought I was nuts so thank you Rob for making me feel less crazy 😂
I remember when X7 came out. At the time I was lucky to find one copy at any store near me, and was the only copy I ever saw of the game in any of the stores near me. Weird of how X5, X6, and X8 were easier to find than X7. I'd say that X7 is probably the only one I didn't beat as many times as the others.
Megaman x7 can burn burn burn to the ground.
18:26 hated Hated HATED Megaman X7 😅😅😅🎮🎮🎮🎮 played it on the legacy collection ps4 ! The gameplay, voices and the story are a disaster! X6 but 1000 times worse ! Never again....
Rob should try the Megaman X8 Demake, same story, stages, and enemies but with MMX graphics and it’s actually really good!
Hands down the best way to experience that game
Rob your story gave me force unleashed 2 flashbacks I was so excited like yourself even got my friend at future shop to score me an early copy then I played it and my heart broke lol
I love when you two make videos together! I grew up on Battle Network, love the series, but I totally respect Rob's opinion, def not for everyone. Part of the reason I came to appreciate the classic series an all of the other spin-offs in because of Rob's passion for the franchise that came out through your videos back in the day. Can't thank you guys enough for sharing your love for games!
I didn't know about megaman until battle network, so for a while I thought that was the main series. I've played the classics since and I definitely appreciate them.
I grew up on the classics and was skeptical of Battle Network until I received 3 Blue for Christmas one year and was immediately enamored. It was a brilliantly executed experience. It’s my favorite Mega Man spin-off.
megaman socker
I understand the initial reaction to the GameCube control scheme, but it's not bad, once you get used to it.
Mega man 8 was the 2nd mega man game I bought and I love how cheesy it was! “I’m clown man!!!” lol 😂
I love Battle Network, but I can't play it due to the awful GBA sound. They badly needed to remaster it for the rerelease. At least we have that for the Zero games, or else I wouldn't be able to play those either.
megaman 8 was great. Voice actors aside, the music was amazing.
Oh man, I can remember bringing home Mega Man 8 and having the same feelings. LOL. Great video as always! And thanks for finally not making the Rob Man sit on a small box. haha
Me too, man. When Dr. Light's voice chimed-in during the opening I thought to myself, "geez, now Barbra Walter's English teacher is the voice actor for one of the most iconic characters in video game history." Walawala walshington!
I had played Metroid Prime right before Mega Man Anniversary Collection on GameCube, so the B = Jump, A = Shoot thing felt just fine for me.
When Rob compared Battle Network to Pokemon in a bad way, it made me want to try those games even more 😅
It's technically more of a card collector RPG game rather than a creature collector RPG, so the Pokemon/Digimon analogy isn't entirely accurate. I agree that the first game is a bit unbalanced and that the second game is noticeably better from what I remember.
@@TheBlackSeraph I look forward to trying them!
Mega Man 8 on the Sega Saturn I really enjoyed, the OST is different than the PSX and other releases after this. I get not everyone liked it but the OST itself was great.
I do like that we all have our own opinions and experiences though, great part about this community!🙂
I enjoyed this series of games.
Megaman Battle Network 1
The first game Is rough navigating the internet is a nightmare.
You will need a map.
The series does get better.
🤔🎮
My least favorite Mega Man games are *Mega Man X5* and *Mega Man X6.*
I was playing through the Mega Man X Collection on PS2 and, with the exception of the unlockable Battle & Chase (which I found kind of boring), I was having a blast going through every game up to X4. With high hopes, I eagerly moved on to X5, expecting to have a great time. What I instead got were changes no one asked for. No longer being able to shoot through walls? Check. Mostly useless powers and bullet sponge bosses with ridiculous post damage invulnerability times? Check. What ending you get being mostly left in the hands of RNG? Check. Alia, the navigator who won’t SHUT THE HELL UP about stuff learned in the tutorial, pausing the action every time she does?! Yeah it’s got that, too!
By the time I finished X5, I was so angry and disappointed that I didn’t even bother with X6 until a year later. Spoiler alert: it’s even worse than X5. Even lamer powers, upgrades being left with reploids that can be taken away forever thanks to the Nightmare Virus and a slapped together story that perfectly compliments the level design in how less of a crap the developers couldn’t give about this game. However, I expected all of this going into X6 and set my expectations accordingly whereas I was completely blindsided by X5. X6 is the worst game of the two but I still hate X5 just a bit more. Here’s a plus in X6’s column, though: those annoying Alia messages are now optional! Yaaaay!!!
I haven’t played X7 yet so maybe it’s even worse than X6 (many people tend to think so). I used to not like the Battle Network games for similar reasons to Rob but decided to give them another chance as an adult and now I’m a fan. I also wasn’t crazy about the GBA port of Mega Man & Bass but it’s only because of the small screen resolution (leading to enemies attacking offscreen and leaps of faith). I’m sure I’ll enjoy the SNES original whenever I can get my hands on a repro cart.
Man I needed this video today. Rob and megaman talk. You just can't beat it. You and Rob talking about a series is just the best
Super Mary-o Brothers got me good 😂
The funny thing is that I've heard people say that MMX8 is better, but I think it's just in comparison to MMX7 that people say that. Because X8 is an absolute letdown too. Terrible. Honestly, the last good MMX game is X4, imo. After that the series went to shit.
There's no bad classic Megaman for me. ❤
Calling Battle Network Mega Mon is the biggest "tell me you didn't play Battle Network without telling me you didn't play Battle Network" self-snitch I've ever seen.
The only thing it at all has in common with Pokemon is the versions starting from the third game.
I really like 8. The music is fantastic. Fortunately the Japanese version exists so you don't need to listen to the American dub.
So, about the Jump! Jump! Slide! Slide!, I learned that the timing for it depends on which half of the screen you are on:
Right half: You will need to react to it as soon as you hear the instruction the first time.
Left half: You will need to react to it either after you hear it the first time (if you are close to the middle) or a little later (if you are further to the left)
MegaphilX made a video about it that shows it better.
I don't like the first game. The first one in the series that I played was MM3 and it blew me away. Since I liked it so much I decided to rent MM2 from Blockbuster after I returned MM3, and it was even better. Figuring there was no way I could wrong, I rented the first game next. I couldn't get into it. It just felt like a massive step down from 2 & 3.
I literally thought I was the only person ever that HATED the GC version of Megaman Anniversary because of that stupid controller layout! I was so frustrated to have to take it back to the store and pick up the PS2 version instead. THANK YOU!
With the exception of Battle Chip Challenge and maybe Network Transmission, Battle Network was a GREAT series. I never played 4.5 though, but I heard it was good.
And that's how Rob lose he's hair.😂
Lol, Megaman 8 is my favorite Megaman, i love the levels of that megaman, the clown level and the ice skate level are two of my favorites, i love the difficult of that level. Now, to be honest I'm 90% sure my game was in Japanese so i was never bother with the voice acting.
I think to date the only Megaman that i didn't enjoy that much was Megaman 11.
good to see Rob back! Bring him back more often
I agree with all of these except Mega Man 8. It’s not my favorite of the series, but I’m a sucker for that pure 90’s cheese. MM8 has a certain whimsical charm.
I think we can all agree Mega Man X7 is hot garbage and deserves the top spot for the worst Mega Man game ever in the history of human civilization.
Mega man the wily wars for genesis. I want to love it because the graphics are great but if you played the originals they don’t play right.
Megaman 8 was coincidentally the first import game I got so the game was fine for me. Like yeah the rocket ski section was annoying but it's still one of the easiest games in classic megaman even with that part
Posted the 777th thumbs up. All 7 fever to you Johnny! And to the robman!
Haven't tried Battle Network, but I'm with you on MM8 and especially MMX7, Rob. I didn't really like MMX8 either.
i didnt care too much for battle network either. i used to have a friend that only liked those megaman games and it literally hurt my soul lol. 8 isnt great either it bores the hell out of me to the point that the voice acting is actually more entertaining than the game. it does look pretty, but so do most sprite-based games of that era. and ngl no one will disagree with X7 aside from the 10 people that had it as their first game or something. its a steaming pile😂
I'm shocked that they didn't say Mega Man Soccer
Megaman 8 has always been one of my favorites. Voices never phased me. Incredible soundtrack and best color pallet.
True. And to be fair he only hates the voices lol so if he liked the voices I think he'd love MM8
You know, some people say “MAY-ga” Man. What do we say about those people?
Robman episode are always a show to watch.
Mega Man X7 was such a disappointment. Played it one time and never went back to it
Haha, Rob's imitation of Mega Man 8's voice is spot on. Great vid Robert and Jogn! (:
Like many others I used to really grind out games, even mid ones due to not having a ton of money, I tried 2 stages of X7 and took it back to the store the same day
Oh man, the dialogue in MM8 is so bad it's good.
They kept the flubbing of lines in (when he almost calls MegaMan wily). MegaMan screaming for like 15 seconds straight. My favorite is the ice boss line "I will crush you. I will beat...you". Other the the jump/slide part that entire games English dialogue is so friggin funny.
Here I am waiting for the battle network collection to go on a decent sale to snatch them up 😂
Good to see another Robman vid.
Didn’t know about Dr. Fudd in MM8 (I played heck out of 2 & 3 but kinda got tired of the formula after that). But it reminded me of how well they did Dr. Wily in Captain N The Game Master - he’s always running out of breath before his sentences are finished…So it’s funny, like you guys.
Speaking of “Mary-o” games, they’re called “Merry 1” and “Merry 2” on my “31 in 1” NES cartridge that I got from Canadian Tire back in the day.
Man, your stories remind me of growing up with my video game bud. Beers, fresh pack of smokes, and newly rented game from Blockbuster for the weekend. The rituals before starting the game night. Having some good munchies, Z95.3FM, and when the late night giggles started, that was the best.
I really wanted to love mega man. It looks so cool. but it was way too hard for me. This was back in the nes day.
Dr light sounds like Kim Jong Il out of Team America
That is the kind of dubbing you hated back then but can appreciate how wonderfully awful it is now.
There will never be a game as depressingly potent as Operation Raccoon City. I just about sold my soul for it at 12 years old, I SKIPPED my 55th watch of Aliens at my Grandma's house just to go home and play what equated to a dumpster fire. Never. Forget.
I need to play this game lol
I have to know how bad it is 😂
Love the teasing on jump/jump/slide/slide 😅
But yeah, there's something uniquely terrifying about playing a game in one of your favorite series that's *really bad*. You just have to hope with all your might that it isn't going to be the direction the series starts going in...
For me, that was Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee. As someone who grew up every game in the series starting with Red/Blue, it was kind of maddening to have them completely discard the whole "you have to weaken them before you can catch them" rule and also reward your party experience for that (the player tossing a curveball at a pidgey made the party learn how to battle better?) That said, I do think this one in particular was made for elementary school kids as the target audience, so it's hard to say as a grown adult that it's a bad game. I just hated the idea that the next games could follow in that direction. Would've been an absolute nightmare.
Great to see rob again!
I can't say I've ever not enjoyed a Mega Man game! My only gripe with them is no Mega Man Legends 3!
Love Hearing Rob talk about mega man! The Megaman Then to now video being one of my personal favorites! If he’s ever played them I hope to hear his opinions on the zero and Zx games someday!
Dr. WOWY❤
Hey Johnny, nice shirt. 😂🎉😇
MegaMan X7 will probably go down as the worst mega man game. However: playing it in the legacy collection on a PC using an Xbox controller I found it to be tolerable and in many cases “fun“. I played through Megaman X7 more than 10 times because I was trying to level up all three characters while unlocking all of the secrets.
The only game I played more than that in the MegaMan series was MegaMan X8. I played through MegaMan X8 at least 12 times because they had set the prices so high to unlock materials that there was no way I would be able to unlock them without playing through it that many times.
So considering I played through MegaMan X7 more than several times I would actually have to say that the worst mega man games for me was Mega Man 3 and Mega Man X6.
MM3 and X6 were frustratingly hard because of poor game design.
I noticed that Megaman four onwards got considerably easier to play. By the time you get to MegaMan six, you have plenty of options and purchasable items to make the game easier to play even if you’re not a master of it.
Oh im surprised you picked mega man 8 . I love that game so much
Megaman 7 was more disappointing for me than Megaman 8. I didn’t particularly enjoy the music in either game and the bosses to me were boring.
I also wasn’t a fan of either game’s graphics. I actually preferred MegaMan 9 and 10.
For me, the worst MegaMan games ever, are the DOS/PC games.
Gotta be real, I’m kind of having a crap day but hearing you guys made me chuckle. Despite the harm done to Rob’s mental health, thanks for this episode!
Rob, I know you have probably heard this for year, but i implore you to not judge all of Battle Network based on the first game. Most of us in the Battle Network fandom ALSO hate 1. So please, if you ever get the chance, get the Legacy Collection and START with BN3. Or even test out BN6. The gameplay was EXTREMELY streamlined by that point in the series. The Legacy collection also has tons of Accessibility settings to help newcomers out. I remember you saying you didn't like the series all of those years ago and you compared it to Pokemon, which i still think is incorrect. I know this will probably not get you to try the games, but i remember that sentiment irked me when i first heard you say it.
Not sure if he will. He mentioned that he’s a guy who can’t skip games in a series.
@@joegardner851 that’s such a shame. Most of the BN games do not really need prior knowledge of the preceding games to understand what’s going on. They are pretty self-contained stories, that reward knowing previous games, but are absolutely not necessary. But I’m probably not going to convince him if he really doesn’t want to.
Rob man...Rocking the amish beard....🧔♀🧔♀
I remember in 2004 trying to decide whether to get the MM Anniversary Collection for PS2 or Gamecube and I gotta thank IGN’s review for warning me about this boneheaded decision to swap A and B on GC. That singlehandedly helped me make the informed and correct decision of buying the PS2 version and avoided the GC fiasco.
I'm surprised that Mega Man DOS PC version wasn't considered one of the worst Mega Man games by Rob. That game has no music and looks like it took a few weekends to make and put out.
I was just about to say!!
Great vid Rob/Johnny. Always fun. I remember being so smitten by the FMV and 32 graphics in MM8 that the voices didn't even bother me (I was still getting over the fact that Starfox 64 even had voice acting to begin with lol). I still think MM4 and MM8 are two of my favorites in the series (which is def not a majority opinion). It was also fun looking for the 40 hidden bolts to use as currency to buy upgrades. MM8 and Symphony of the Night to me were rare 2D gems in a sea of blocky first-gen polygon games.
Funny enough, I would like to give the Battle Network games a try one day. Also, hurray for MERRY-O!
Don't worry Robman, X8 isn't as good as people make it out to be. It's still a 3D X game, it's still pretty meh. Slightly better than X7.
Rob, have you played Super Adventure Rockman for PSX?
I have it for Saturn I believe. VERY weird.
Rob doesnt really age does he?
*"What are we fighting for.....?!?"* 😏😂
The worst MegaMan for me: Mighty No. 9
How about Robman's top 10 worst and best robot masters
My first was mega man 2 so it holds a special place for me
