glad mighty number nine exists at least, because without it you don't have mighty gunvolt burst, which is probably the best mega man game ever released. thats right, even better than regular mega man

she has a couple good moves but its intentionally awkward because at that point in the BOTW story she has no confidence and feels inferior to all the superheroes she's surrounded by and then her powers awaken and her second moveset is, one of the best in the game

In the case of Origin it was justified, those in charge were attempting to rip off EA Games and continually failed to meet contract obligations. Chris Roberts (who would later almost be turned into law enforcement for attempting to scam Microsoft during the development of Freelancer), and Richard Garriot were the big offenders, and take a guess at what both are doing today?

just because they call the robot "megaman" doesn't mean it is a whatever we consider a non-gal to be. megaman is a megagal and mega things humans couldn't even understand

I tried playing Ultima IX this week for the first time ever, great atmosphere and world building, but god awful to play. The main menu is a book and you have to flip through 30 pages to get to the save/reload part, and options menu.

Ultima 7 and 7.5 were fantastic, 8 was godawful, and I don't remember much about 9 except that there's a fan patch out there somewhere that makes it playable but I could never be bothered to try. I think I tried playing it back at release but ran into the stupid book thing like you did. It was impenetrable.

The whole Ultima series peaked at the end of the Ultima Online beta when Lord British was giving his big thank you speech and a griefer killed him.

My favorite Ultima Online story is that one, and then Game Masters created a bunch of house deeds and claimed landplots and then sold them all on Ebay and made thousands of dollars off it.

I've been thinking about grabbing a Mega Man for nostalgia and I like those games better than Metroid. Is Mighty Gunvolt Burst that good?

"My brain is amazing! It's full of wrinkles, and... Uh... Wait... What am I trying to say?"
I finished the Doom Eternal DLC - dumbass plot twist and marauders aside, the main issue I have with it is that the maps really needed a 'getting hung up on bullshit' pass. Half of any difficulty I faced was that the DOOMSLAYER got stuck on a tiny rock or twig and in the second you can't move 20 buffed demons swarm you and pound your poo poo. The two new gimmicks aren't bad - almost.

The spirit is a really fun idea but it makes the enemies it inhabits way too tanky and the mobility loss you take trying to kill it with the microwave beam is just kind of a cheap shot. You can't afford to ignore it because whatever it possess get the super cool and not all lazy action game gimmick 'what if this enemy just never stops attacking?' The blood makyr or whatever is actually pretty good though sometimes you hit the same issue as you with marauders where it just simply will not take the action you need it to in order to damage it. The final boss encounter sucks poo poo as it's all 3 of the problems I mentioned rolled into one. It's the only time in the base game and dlc I was ever offered the sentinel armor which is probably a sign it's either a bullshit difficultly spike or just not well designed. It would have been fine if there wasn't a insta-respawning blood makyr cheapshotting you with slowdown attacks tossed in for fun.

Complaints aside I really like the game and the DLC. Some of the arenas are really interesting and fun to play around.

Also my game of the decade is Fire Emblem Awakening and the 3DS because that combination of game and system turned me into a gamer for the first time in a decade, instead of a dad who lets the 5 year old win at Mario Kart.

some neostocks have experienced random but persistent crashes, i had a couple million neopoints wasted into a stock i bought when it was like surprisingly low, but it turns out it was low from a crash from an all time high. I assumed it would go back to its normal range eventually and kept buying lol. Years later it still never climbed anywhere close to some of the dive prices I bought at. Maybe it has in the past few since getting my account frozen, but man, the neostocks crash is real, just not tied to irl events.

its good, great stage and boss design that would make it a decent enough off brand mega man on its own, but then they blow out the basic rear end mega man boss weapon mechanic into this weirdly flexible weapon crafting system where along with the boss elements you're also picking up parts that let you build custom weapons that do all kinds of weird poo poo
