Thank God

for Easy mode

*runs away*

 

[TheCardPlayer]

5 bosses down. I needed to use the weaknesses and they are pretty easy to figure out. Normal mode FTW! Then it's on to Hard.

Seriously, this game is amazing. I think it may be even better than MM9. Level design certainly is.

 

[Sanjuro]

I hate this new thread.

 

[Scythesurge]

Good, MM10 deserves an official thread of some sort. I will be downloading and playing as soon as I get home from work tonight!

 

[MikeE21286]

My only question is is this game easier than MM9?

I got MM9 and I couldn't beat a damn level in that game.

In before pussy. Yes, there is an easy mode.

Watched a stream...sports man or w/e he was has terrible level music.

I hate this new thread.

I'm sorry, I must sleep for work in about an hour or so and I want to play this game so bad. If you can construct it better then go ahead.

Loving the game a lot. It feels different. I mean, we got 9 recently and yet this feels a whole lot different, in a good way.

Just beat Chill Man. 4 more to go!

Curse you, NoE, for choosing Fridays At least it looks like it's delivering, can't wait

Would you say it has more of a MM6 feel in terms of level structure?

I'm just carrying over my lack of XBLA hate from the other thread, your thread is fine...except for the fact it is garbage!

What are the changes if you play in easy mode? I'd like to know because the MM9 demo repulsed me because it was too hard for my liking. (or lazyness)

Watching stream right now, he is just messing around with the game. Someone with an account can ask about the easy mode.

 

[dralla]

MM9 is one of my favorite games this gen. But the robot masters and the music I have heard hasn't really done anything for me. Will buy day 1 of course (PS3), I just don't know if it can be as awesome as 9.

 

[Echoes]

I'm not very familiar with 4~6 (wasn't fond of the charge) but I can tell you it's definitely not 1~3. Not at alllll.

P.S I will play 4~6 once they hit the VC.

 

[Sanjuro]

Bah he is playing as Protoman. So far the only thing I hate about the revival is him. I don't like how he plays at all in this style of game.

 

[Echoes]

Fuck the sandstorm.

 

[jarosh]

i'm just re-posting my two cents from the other thread:


game's a ton of fun. but the music is one heck of a disappointment. except for nitro man's stage of course. and maaaaaybe chill man's. god, the boss music is just awful. guess i expected more after mm9's excellent soundtrack. it's a shame too, cause the rest of the game seems to be pretty damn good - at least that's the impression i got from the short time i've played it so far. some of the level gimmicks are really fucking clever and deliciously vicious. and i personally dig the wacky robot master designs.

 

[brandonh83]

Guys, for those of you thinking about easy mode, just let me tell you that the game ALMOST plays itself. It's that easy. You will be able to blow through it really fast and if all you want to do is see the game through, by all means. But you will feel like such a loser. :lol

The bosses aren't as clever this time around. The graphics seem more bland, and the music is less memorable. The weapons aren't as versatile, either. (As a matter of fact, the weapons seem to have been built primarily to be useful against the one boss they were intended to defeat, with little consideration to their use outside of those showdowns.) The levels aren't as devious, relying more on tons of instantly fatal pits and spikes rather than the ingenious inversions and devices that made MM9 so brilliant. The further you play, in fact, the more MM10 feels like one of the PlayStation Mega Man X titles. That makes sense, of course, since developer Inti Creates had a hand in games like MMX4 and X5. But that familiarity makes MM10 feel like your average Mega Man sequel -- something we've seen entirely too many of over the years, and a real disappointment coming on the heels of something that was anything but your standard Mega Man game.

That said, these are all fairly abstract complaints and have little to do with its fundamentals. Even if MM10 fails to reach its predecessor's lofty peaks, it's still a damn fun game. It plays wonderfully, with perfect controls and precise collision detection. It's incredibly challenging in places, and there's even an easy mode for those who aren't afraid to ask for mercy (though it's a little too easy for seasoned veterans). Even if you're not as likely to grin ruefully when you die like you did in MM9, you'll still find yourself coming back for more.

interesting.

Changes level design and enemies. Also, it's only accessible to people whose balls haven't dropped yet.

[Balb]

The fact that MM10 has DLC like 9 did makes me sad.

 

[TheCardPlayer]

I think that Parish was far too hard on the game, but it doesn't really surprise me. The man is a huge fan of MM9 and I understand him. After all, he's one of the few to publicly say that the game was better than MM2. And he was right!

Then again, my favorite NES Mega Man is 5, and it's the one he hates the most, so of course, we will be at odds with MM10. This is another MM2/MM3 situation. MM9 is 2 again. The favorite. MM10 is 3, the underdog.

But like he says ,it's still one of the best 2D action games to come along in years.

 

[brandonh83]

I don't really disagree with what Parish said but I think he was too harsh. For me the soundtrack really isn't a lot different from other MM soundtracks. You have good tracks, and then you have the great tracks. Same thing applies to MM10. Also I disagree about the stages, I think they're plenty creative enough and they don't feel "samey" to me. The one thing I would almost completely agree on though are the bosses. I like them enough but they're nothing worth writing home about. It's still a largely insignificant complaint to me though. It's not the best classic MM game ever, but I would say that it's better than the installments post-MM4/pre-MM9.

Hmmm. All and all, I'd say

MM9>MM5=MM10>MM3>MM4>MM2>MM6>RF>MM7>MM8

The problem with Mega Man 10, is that it came out after MM9. After the balls to the walls insane MM9, there was no way MM10 could satisfy us the same way.

 

[Dacvak]

There's no way to rank this game yet; it's only been a damn day!

Still, it's easy to say this game is ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AWESOME. And I've only beaten two stages so far!

I can't tell if it's harder or easier than MM9, though. That's probably a good thing. =)

True, I am an absolute crazy fan of MM9, it's second best to MM2 IMO. I don't want to start ranking until I beat it though, which could... be... a while.

 

[jarosh]

mm9's visuals are most certainly NOT better than mm10's. neither of them come close to the detailed sprite art and the wonderful backgrounds of mm5 and mm6, but if anything mm9 is the blander one of the two.

Yeah, there is no way MM10 looks worse than MM9. It's far more detailed.

 

[Scythesurge]

I think the simple artwork was part of 9's charm. Back to basics. I can't comment on 10 though b/c I've been on blackout so I can experience the game TO THE MAX.

 

[TheCardPlayer]

What's awesome is that we are arguing, about whether a reviewer was too harsh on the game...that he calls one of the best 2D games in years.

You just know that Capcom rocks too much, when it does that.

 

[jarosh]

i'm really not all that far into mm10 yet but i can already tell i'm not gonna agree with parish. "your average mega man sequel" sounds like an odd complaint. mm5 and mm6 were both amazing games, among my favorite of the classic mega mans. the series only took a turn for the worse with mm7 and the abysmal mm8. the only really bad one before that (and i'd rank it below your "average mega man sequel" even) was mm4, if you ask me (which just so happened to have introduced the awful charge buster too - i'm so glad that's gone again).

 

[KittenMaster]

Graphics definitely have a post MM3 feel, but the weapons are still very useful.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Coolio, I'll be picking this up with my shiny new "Nintendo points" card (the last time I bought one of these, it was Wii Points) today

Again Parish thinks that MM5 is the worst game in the series. So maybe we shouldn't put too much weigh behind his words. That and he's the world biggest MM9 whore. The only way MM10 would have been good in his eyes, would have been slapping a 10 on MM9's title screen.

 

[Balb]

I've only played a couple of stages so far, and I don't think it's as good as MM9. I hope I change my mind later though.

 

[Dacvak]

Anyone complaining about the soundtrack is fucking dumb.

No, not because the soundtrack is amazing, but because, like with most games, sometimes memorable songs take a while to sink in. I didn't fully appreciate some of the MM9 songs until weeks later. I've only played two stages so far (Sheep Man and Pump Man, or whatever he's called) and neither of the songs struck me as "bad" initially. Most Mega Man music takes a few solid listens to appreciate.

Also, after playing Sheep Man's level, it's pretty clear that the overall level design is fucking great. MM9's was great, too, so it's impossible to say which is better since the game's only been out for a short while. But I'm guessing the same people complaining about this game were the ones complaining about MM9 when it released.

Even when you're directly comparing MM10 to MM9, it seems damn good, imo. But let's take away comparisons for a second; no matter how you slice it, MM10 is a great game.

Spoiler

So far.

 

[Man God]

So I beat the game about an hour ago.

Normal Mode, MM.

The music is rad and the Wily Fort has some amazing bits to it, especially the first and last level.

I'd go as far to say that the only thing 9 has over this one are the weapons.

 

[TheCardPlayer]

I'd go as far to say that the only thing 9 has over this one are the weapons.

I'd say the only thing MM9 has over 10, is the fact that it came out before. If 10 was 9 and 9 was 10, we'd be wondering, WTF happened.

 

[Metalic Sand]

I see Endless mode... Ill buy it at a high price.

its all that matters, For anyone who hasnt played Endless mode. You are missing out on the best thing MM9 offers, MM10 will be godly.

 

[Thaedolus]

I'm already humming along to Sheep Man's music. So far I've been rather impressed.

 

[Man God]

Endless Mode and Superhero mode aren't just any ordinary DLC already "on disk" they are enough content to equal the rest of the game. For so a few more bucks you got twice the game.

well, i didn't mean to attack parish or question his taste or anything. and i'm not one to bitch about reviews or review scores. but i think it's an interesting discussion. of course if the guy thinks mm5 is so bad, i already know we're probably gonna have dissenting opinions on quite a few things mega man... but then again i LOVE mm9 too, just like him

 

[Man God]

People in this very thread have crazy opinions about MM5. That game is boring, samey, and all too easy, or in other words the exact opposite of this game.

 

[Milabrega]

Just finished downloading, dunno which robot master to topple first!

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Love, love, love the game.

Best game I've played since....well, Mega Man 9!

I can't wait to play through it all over again. But I gotta let somebody else play it right now...

So much fucking fun.

CapGod has done it again.
