Heavy Sigh posted:Kill the sick and bury the lame! Oh god, gently caress those edge-jumps, though. That is really my only complaint about this game; it is obsessed with edge-jumps with low ceilings and spikes. Which, admittedly, become somewhat less deadly with spike damage turned down, so even there I can't complain too much.

That shield weapon looks fantastic, it fixes the issue of shields not having any range in a game about shooting things

Virus Outbreak is pretty ridiculous. A lot of the subweapons in Rock Force are, really. But for being a shield weapon, Virus Outbreak is insane.

Virus Man was definitely the hardest Robot Master stage for me mostly because I completely failed to try using Phantom Fuse on the tanks or Charade Clone on the block puzzles. It made parts of the level quite a bit trickier. It's still the best use of vanishing blocks in a Mega Man game I think; not obscenely irritating.

Virus Man was the robot master I picked first the first time I played Rock Force, didn't have any significant problems with it. And that was with spike damage set to MM2 style in the extra options, the way it's supposed to be.

I mean, sure, I guess having two totally-unique sets of fortress levels involves more new content, but the remixed levels were a neat way to show the player how the level designers could step up the difficulty without relying on a new toolset -- and also a good way to get players to try out their weapons against the various enemies, since odds are they bustered their way through most of the levels the first time around.

Virus Outbreak does actually block bullets. The only exception I've seen is the ceiling robots like those in Power Man's stage because their shots are so fast that they sometimes slip through the gaps in the shield. Taking out Sniper Joes by standing next to them with Virus Outbreak is somehow even more satisfying than making them explode, and it's unfortunate that this probably won't be demonstrated. Oh, and the lasers in the sine wave sections? Instant death under MM1/MM2 spike rules. I died many times to the reverse wave until I figured out that I need to just keep jumping.

It's definitely a fair fangame, with some moderately interesting boss designs (even if the patterns... aren't so great), but it sure is hard to say things when y'all cover it so well. Still, don't stop covering the game so well, it's interesting to hear!

Yeah, as with any sort of virus a bacteriophage exploits specific characteristics of the bacteria that it can reproduce in to bind to their surface and infect them with its genetic material. Long story short all cells have proteins to allow things like interchange with the environment and detection of chemical gradients and the virus has proteins adapted to stick onto those and let it do its business.

I feel like I need some context for that picture. Is the one guy pointing directing the wave's assault, or the army's retreat? Why is there an army attacking lava in the first place? Also although I'm pretty sure it's supposed to depict a guy burning to death (like all the other guys burning to death) one of them appears to be surfing the wave. Which is way more awesome, so that's what I choose to believe is going on. E: Oh wait, there's two armies. I think. That..doesn't help matters very much, actually.

There's one army and the guy pointing is just pointing at the wave, I think? Like "oh holy poo poo, a giant wave of fire!" It's an MtG card that deals 4 damage to a player and all of their creatures, so two armies wouldn't make much sense. There's one bit that looks like a guy might be stabbing another guy with a spear, but the bit that looks like a spear is way too thin, there's an actual spear even further back from the POV and it's a lot thicker and a different colour. Maybe it is supposed to be a spear? Maybe it's just a fun little detail the artist threw in, like faced with a giant wave of fire this one guy went mad and stabbed another guy? Who can say.

The pointing guy is obviously pointing at the surfer on the far end of the wave. He thinks that guy is way cooler, than the surfer to the left of the wave-skull-face.

I think he's all like "Run in the opposite direction of the flaming death wave, troops!" because he's a trumped up middle-manager who wants to seem important and officious. The plucky rebellious soldier who decided to surf the wave is his hated nemesis!

Still doesn't explain the one guy who seems to be stabbing another soldier near the bottom of the frame. The best I can figure is that he got the order to retreat and decided, "Oh hell naw, Imma go kill me a lava wave!" and then stabbed his commanding officer for daring to get in his way.

I think the commander guy is giving surfing lessons, and there is only one person who is going to graduate from the class. "Well at least someone is paying attention to what I'm trying to teach."

I can't really fault the idea of a stage that has no enemies, only instant-death. But I sure as hell can be glad I forgot about the game and stopped playing before getting there.

"Instant death stage lol" is an idea that should be aborted from the second your synapses connect to form it. The only thing saving this one from being absurdly frustrating is that instant death equals four chances, further proving my theory that classic rules can suck my balls. As long as we don't get infinite checkpoints, at least.

Kitten Head Ridge posted:Nah. That was in a thread found in GBS 1.0. The thread was about a guy who owned a bunch of dolls, and filmed the dolls sliding down sliding boards and other other odd things. He liked to complain about how uncute and terrible things were, and liked Pokemon, My Little Pony, and Rainbow Brite. He also made that weird Pokemon game you're talking about. Uh, poo poo. I know I'm a month late on this, but do you have a link to the video of some goon playing it? EDIT: Found it!
