      Hey matty you should do a video on the Megaman NT Warrior seasons 1 and 2 alongside Rockman.exe Stream and Rockman.exe Beast/Beast+
      Mostly because i feel like this anime/cartoon series doesnt get enough time to shine as the games do. The anime/cartoon series covers the 6 games.

      As someone who recently lost his father I can relate on a metaphysical level man lol. Not a single moment goes by that I don’t think of something my dad said or did for me and I bust out in tears. Sometimes I laugh remembering how funny he was! Anyone who says you can’t cry about it or something can get fucked. A boss I had told me once: “If someone tells you not to cry or it’s been so long since they passed why are you still crying? That person never gave a fuck about their family or anyone in the first place!” I know it’s kinda mean but that shit is most assuredly true in my experience.

      Honestly there's enough side games in the entire franchise that weren't included in previous collections that they could probably just make a whole collection just for them. It's been long enough that it's unlikely we will ever see them be added to previous collections as DLC, so my guess is that it's more likely for them to just drop a big collection of them at some point once the mainline series all get their own legacy collections.

    On the subject of escaping, only battle network 1 lacked an escape option that didn't require a chip, but it's also the only game in the series where you automatically heal after every battle, so at least there's that. BusterMax definitely seems like it'll help get through the more tedious parts of BN1 for newer players, and maybe even series veterans who just can't be bothered to farm a good folder, but want to experience the game again.
    I do agree that not including a map (like they did in the DS re-release) or updating the BN1 system to include an escape option are missed opportunities though.

    for new players. megaman bn 3 Blue is equivalent to the black version in japan, which had additional chips/fights and is considered the cannon/better version. White is probably better for speedruns. 4-6 have two timelines. red sun->colonel -> gregar and then blue moon->protoman-> falzar. mmbn 5 has a similar issue to 3, where protoman came out 6 months before colonel, so the colonel version has more information in it.

      the game has a different approach. with the exception of 2 bosses (and a couple of post game content gimmick) you do not need to be the best deckbuilder ever, you can still get access to almost everything the game has to offer by improvvising.
      but a top of the line deck can basically one-shot the supersecret boss, and the various chip have some unexpected interaction (the ones that put an obstacle completelly disable one of the most dangerous enemy in the serie, for example).
      it's a play-like-you-want kind of game, and there's a lot of possibilities

    in regards to the trophies, guaranteed there is a trophy for hunting Bass in his most powerful form in each game. and they mentioned using buster max would not count towards time bonuses or 'real' defeats so beating him in that mode might not allow you to have the defeating bass random encounter version trophy. the story/forced encounters you probably get the marks for though.

      NO. Just NO. Skip number one, it's very much first game syndrome. If you do play it, use Buster MAX for at least the random battles. It'd be best to skip tho.
      Starting with 2 is perfectly fine. 2&3 have the best story by far, 5&6 have the best gameplay. One is very rough around the edges and hard to sit through. Can easily give a bad first impression for the series. Four also has a lot of issues that can leave a bad taste in their mouth. Namely due to RNG on unlocking MegaMan Transformations and needing to not just beat the game, but to beat New Game Plus. . . twice to only potentially seeing all content if RNG goes exactly the way it needs to.
      I'd recommend one of the following play orders
      If you want to experience the series, play 2,3,5 and 6
      If you want the best stories, play 2 and 3
      If you want the most fun battles with meh stories, play 5 and 6.
      Only after completing 2,3,5, and 6, should you play 1 or 4 IMHO.

      I think blue was actually released after white version? Most people recommend blue over white because folder back is op. But I don’t think white and blue were supposed to be seen as different versions, blue was released as Black in Japan only and was released as an upgrade actually.

    I’m sure I’m in the minority here, but I’m finding these games… boring. I’m a Mega Man diehard and love RPGs so I thought this was gonna be a match made in Heaven, but the “dungeons” are just mind-numbingly tedious mazes. Add in that the encounter rate feels a little high, and that most random encounters are laughably easy, and it ends up feeling like a slog to get through. It’s not all bad, the games (and this Collection) are very well made, and it’s a cool concept, but man does progress become a draaaaag. I think if I want to play a MM RPG I’ll stick to Command Mission.

    • @RaptureSR
      @RaptureSR Рік тому +2

      If it helps, 1 is by far the worst game mechanically in the series. They did a lot of refining by they time they released 2 like adding an escape option that doesn't require a chip. The only notable dip in quality aside from BN1 is BN4, and that's more of a design/story issue than a game mechanics one.
      2,3,5, and 6 are all fantastic though. 3 probably had the best story, and 6 was the best in terms of gameplay balance and mechanics.

    I think the buster max was a bad Idea personally, it takes a way from the game, if they really wanted to have it so you didn't need to play the game and still wanted to just see the story I think they should have just put in a "push start to kill enemys and then not give data" part of "grinding for cirtan chips" was a strategy of building a folder using chips you wouldn't normally use but for this one enemy would be perfect with its move set/hp/element to me this just masivly devalues the game and is making this game real hard to recommend to anyone out there as there are better ways to play the game if that is what you are after, then for competitive, it runes that IMO as now everyone must run it to get the chips you need thus ruing the experience of playing the game so then you are spending $80 on only multiplayer plus you got to now mindlessly kill enemys to get the chips you need. really sucks,I feel they killed the game with a lot of the "bonus" things they added to it from the sounds of it but guess I will be able to tell in a few hours.

      1 is horribly unwhieldy, as you expect from a first game, but the good starts from there

      5 experience changes a lot between version, and the gimmick of liberation mission is a split 50/50 for love it or hate it
      6 really goes full meta. also, it seems this version will re-introduce that area that was cut from the EU/USA version
