Random Gaming Thoughts

Batman NES (and maybe Return of the Joker) are possibly the most epic 20+ year replays in the making haha. I grew up playing these a lot, or at least one of them. But I seriously don't think I've played them again in over 20 years. Wonder if I can conquer them again.

If you had the skills to beat them then, you can do it now. I believe in you!

(Also, Return of the Joker isn't terribly difficult, actually. Batman is still a right pain, though. That Joker battle takes a very specific approach or a lot of luck. (I've lucked into it before, but sussed out a better pattern through lots of save stating.)

so people really seem to like this Nier: Automata game. Is it something I should be paying attention to? I mean I've liked Platinum games in the past, but I'm not an obsessive fan of their work.

What I played of it didn't exactly suck me in, but I suspect it's more one that gets better and better as it goes.

It does have an easy mode though =P

and it totally falls within my Nine Year Rule.

New free (for now) DLC for Blaster Master Zero. Get it while it's hot, folks.

Rockman & Forte alone would sell me, I think that game is way better than both Mega Man 7-8.

Mega Man 7? Yeah, probably. I don't think it's better than 8, though. I think 8 is really great, and like it about as much as 2.

This poll is so useless. I had to seriously deliberate on '78 v '05, but '81 v '06 isn't even a contest. It's '81, hands down. How did we get here--? Why is everything wrong in the world.

I really like 8 too, I believe we are in the minority though. Speaking of mega man, the Legacy Collection is on sale for 6 bucks on Xbox One...so I bought it...that's my third time buying the Legacy Collection, on top of the Anniversary Collection, and having most of the original carts...at this point I have accepted that I'll never stop buying these games again and again.

Capcom has me by the balls when it comes to Resident Evil and Mega Man. I'll keep rebuying them forever.

I liked Mega Man 8 somewhat, but good lord the voices. Also, I hated the music, and also everything about Clown Man and his level.
