TBH I would say that MOST of Megaman 2's stages aren't that terrible except for Quick Man. If you don't have the Flash Stopper you're basically fucked both ways. 1. Because it gives a HUGE advantage over Quick Man and 2. You can use it to stop the yellow beams of death. Heat Man's stage is a fucking nightmare if you don't have item 2 (the rocket thing) but other than that the stages are really fun! GET GUD! <3

story games are lame

I wish I could record myself playing mega man 2 for the first time because it was the most rage inducing thing
I don't remember what stage I did first but I jumped onto the very first platform and it fell immediately, giving me no time to jump to the next one once I realized what was happening

that's not ok

its a genuinely awful game
its the video game equivalent of sitting on a bus for 4 hours and you cant find a comfortable position to rest your head and the bus driver takes every turn way to fucking sharp

that analogy doesnt really make sense but the game is really fucking easy but will miss no chance to try and piss you off

Mega Man 2 is amazing. 10/10 music. 10/10 stage design. I still remember approaching Wily's castle for the first time as a kid. The music in wily 1 is a perfect buildup. I really felt like I was going to save the world.

I will say though , the boobeam trap (boss of Wily 4, the purple stage) is possibly the worst designed boss fight in the series. It's complete bs.

go play megaman 2 right now and tell me it has level design that would even be "ok" in the NES era. it was abysmal at the time and its not magically getting better

I don't understand how you can say the level design is bad for the nes era. The uniquely themed stages with unique challenges already puts it leagues above similar nes titles. What are you comparing it to?

these guy being edgy for the sake of being edgy

Each of the stages is segmented into screens which control the pace of the game. Going screen-to-screen gives the player a feeling of accomplishment when they overcome hard obstacles, since the screens are essentially encapsulated challenges. This also allows for natural checkpoints --- both for respawning and for player reward.

The level designs require both vertical and horizontal progression and follow previously established platformer conventions (besides MAYBE Flashman's) but are also designed with powerups in mind: you can complete them with vanilla Megaman, but you are rewarded with shortcuts if you complete the stages in an intelligent order. This allows for a degree of player exploration and is one of the first games in modern computer gaming to reward routing as we know it today, given that almost all platformer games were unisequential in nature. (left-right sidescrolling with minor detours)

The Megaman series was groundbreaking whether you like to admit it or not: mainly due to the ability to acquire enemy abilities, which allows you the freedom to choose different routes through the game in order to maximize efficiency versus certain bosses. Beating Woodman to give you an advantage on Airman, for example, and getting Item 2 from Airman to help with getting to Heat Man

You -could- make the argument that getting the Metal Blade makes the game easier, which it does, but to suggest that the game sucks because of this is just nonsense.

I know that this is an "unpopular gaming opinions thread" but fuck yeah I'm going to challenge bullshit opinions
