It's hard to know where your hitbox is in Spelunky because your guy isn't one tile tall/wide. This leads to situations where you can get hit (or not get hit) by something that still physically touches you. But that problem is solved in the classic game, because your guy's hitbox is as big as they are. all of what you just said is the subjective part

so Let It Die is basically a Souls game with 200x the personality and style but also 100x worse combat and fighting. real shame because the game and everything about it is very cool but how the gently caress did they step back and say "yes this combat is perfect, no lock-ons no real counters just roll dodge like a loving moron all day btw your weapons break after 7 seconds"

Quest For Glory II posted:i cant imagine a game having worse combat than dark souls yeah somehow they found a way to mess up the simpleton controls and "variety" of DS by having every weapon be made of paper and virtually no sidestep, lock-on for enemies, or way to block except with your fleshy arms (you still take damage.) Also this is F2P so you have to pay to resurrect or whatever so maybe it's easier than Souls? You just have to pay lol

I may give it a shot then. Dark Sudas51 doesn't sound great but could be entertaining for a bit. For real souls action, we have the DS3 DLC that's left and then Nioh coming out early next year.

I finished Mega Man 4 and have to agree with the general sentiment that its cool but a very clear step down from 1/2/3. I like the trend of the final boss in the game being 100% gimmicky and defeated by one weapon.

Megaman Zero is extremely hard compared to any other megaman games so be prepared for that. It gets really, really bullshit at times. I beat 1 and 2 and the bomb factory in 1 is probably my most hated level in any megaman game(not including X6 or beyond which is a travesty of a game entirely)

Also if you want your game protagonist to have some depth and a socially acceptable reason to be emotional but still absolutely have to have them be a gruff white dude with short brown hair being a parent is a quick and easy solution.

Well they are all quite different series. Even the X games with largely the same format feel way different from original Mega Man so base your decision on whether or not you want to mix it up a bit. Variety is the spice of life and all that. Also don't forget MM9 and 10 because they are Really Good. At least play MM7 before moving on to X. Report when you get to the final boss of MM7

Megaman x4 is excellent, and x5 is okay too. Megaman zero is an incredibly good platformer but the difficulty is particularly high for a megaman game.

I beat 5 in one sitting, I liked it more than 4 and it might be my second favorite behind 3, even though it was pretty easy compared to the others. There were some really inventive levels! I only played 2 levels of 6 so far but it feels like it's gonna be a fairly weak entry already, although things can turn around.

You should play all the main series Megaman games. 7, 9, and 10 are all good. 8 is worth seeing. And you should play III, IV, and V on the Game Boy because they're also very good.
