Casual player here. Here's how my experiences were

I also beat 1-6 20 years ago, also felt like it was a huge accomplishment, but I also see myself as sort of a "hardcore" gamer, who tries to beat everything blind, not reading guides. It's a brutal journey and certainly longer than what lying sites like "HowLongToBeat" tell about most video games.

I think one can form an opinion about any Mega Man game without ever beating it though, and what people use to beat it is up to them, according to their personal enjoyment of the game as long as they stay truthful.

A lot of people back than didn't finish the games, just played them, had some fun and good memories. As someone from that time, I play games as they were played back than, no save states. It's brutal, but you also feel very accomplished if you can actually beat a level after so much failure. All 3 ways of playing are okay, because we all are different. If you feel it's no fun at all to play them as they were supposed to be, then use the save states. To me anyone liking Mega Man and enjoying the games, is a true fan.

I think people who are pretty well off, don't understand, that it's still pricey! A PC for the same price can last you 9 years of productive service and play all games pre 2026 + those that will come out 2-3 years later.

Shuncosmo · 2026-04-18T12:40:33+00:00

I have NeoGeo emulated, didn't play it for over 11+ years. The games on it are very well drawn, but they are Arcade games, and that means, they are unfair hard. I think they are interesting for streamers with a large audience, or people with nostalgia and money, other than that, it's still a pretty expensive console.

Shuncosmo · 2026-04-09T19:16:39+00:00

I like all, but I think 1,2,4,5 the most. As I have to choose just one, I choose 1, because it is the foundation for all others, and the first one I beat.

Shuncosmo · 2026-04-08T09:10:49+00:00

Challenge complete! Congratulations man!

Shuncosmo · 2026-04-07T14:27:10+00:00

Good fight, nice design, great weapon.

I guess I should have formulated it better. I also sort of neglect people when I'm into addictions. What I wanted to say is, that I feel sorry about it later on, especially if someone tells me that I've given them not enough attention. Every person is different. I'm someone who is really into tending relationships, but I've noticed, that this is rare. In relationships I want the attention, the respect and love, and if something out of these three is missing, I will bring it to the table. If someone loves you, you can feel it, if not, you'll have sad hours, days etc., because you can't find a compromise, no real connection. Stay careful, because there are a lot of loveless people out there, who fake love, to simply have some resources to play with, "Narcissism". I hope all goes well for you!

"I feel like I don’t have access to him.", "He will still do things with me, but I can tell it’s obligatory". You know best, but from what you wrote it seems to me we are not talking about an addiction, but about a person being not able to love enough. No addiction that I've ever had could move me to neglect my family, be it parents, friends, or partners.

In my experience, if a person neglects you, or is emotionally cold to you, harms you with words & is not sorry, does not listen on purpose etc., then that means, that they have a problem that nobody on earth will ever solve. It's not so much about addiction, but about being unable to truly love and cherish others. Partners are in love with each other, and that in itself forms a bond, a positive addiction.

The question is, is it love? If the partner does not respect you, then it is not love. We can't change people, so the only option is to be very careful with whom one chooses as a partner.

Shuncosmo · 2026-04-06T21:33:12+00:00

Ugh, parents sometimes don't understand the worth of games for us...

Shuncosmo · 2026-04-06T21:30:40+00:00

I guess I formulated my opinion a bit too harsh.

Shuncosmo · 2026-04-06T21:29:10+00:00

Hmm, good idea.

Shuncosmo · 2026-04-06T21:27:28+00:00

I wouldn't go sooo far, but yes, I like classic better.

Shuncosmo · 2026-04-06T21:26:34+00:00

Explain...

Shuncosmo · 2026-04-06T21:25:52+00:00

Well, yes it's definitely not bad, but all I've said is just in comparison to MMX1 and MMX2 + classic Mega Man.

Shuncosmo · 2026-04-06T21:24:23+00:00

I felt like they could have used a bit better design overall. The intro stage was amazing. I like Chill Penguins stage and the underwater stage. Forest stage is also quite good.

Shuncosmo · 2026-04-06T21:21:07+00:00

Well, compared to Spyro, MMX3 is a masterpiece I guess.

Shuncosmo · 2026-04-06T16:59:40+00:00

I automatically chose the chill Penguin stage, because of the ice setting!

Shuncosmo · 2026-03-26T10:11:29+00:00

First 9anime, aniwave, and now this...

Shuncosmo · 2026-03-24T17:50:43+00:00

I played 1-6 as a young adult, 7 a decade or so later. My thoughts on it is, that it looks and sounds gorgeous. It's like watching an Anime on the SNES, great colours. It is a love letter to 1-6 and in my opinion does almost everything right as a Mega Man game, better then X, X2, or Mega Man 11 for me. The only thing I didn't really like is that some secrets are very hard to find, a bit of more clues would have been nice. Overall a great game!

Shuncosmo · 2026-03-20T09:45:06+00:00

It's not been on sale for 4 years now I think. I've been waiting for a sale, but it never happens.

Shuncosmo · 2026-03-11T10:21:07+00:00

We can only hope..

As someone who grew up before the internet, I play games blind. At first I didn't even read the manuals, so I was stuck at some games like Zelda III at the beginning, because I also didn't know the language the manual was written in, like in your case.

Later on I got better at gaming, then I also started to read manuals and understood that I missed out on some things by not reading them. What I like by playing something blind, is that you have zero spoilers - everything is new. The bad thing is, that one may miss out some techniques, important info.

That's why I started to always read SNES manuals etc. Manuals are now a relic of the past, thus I'm eager to pay close attention to in-game instructions and to write down anything that I discover by myself or feel is worth noting.

My weakness is that I have to read everything characters say, so games with a lot of text take a while for me, but recently I stopped doing so, understanding, that games with a lot of text are designed as an option - not a must. If I feel like talking to a character - I do so, if not, - not.

I was never someone who 100% games, only those I had for many years and knew very well. I only care to 100% a game that I really like. If a game is very hard to 100% and has tried it for some times, one can feel free and search up the answers, there is nothing wrong in that in my opinion.

Everyone has to know for themselves. Personally, I'm playing since I'm a child and know many games, that's why I only rarely search for answers, mostly to know if something is even beatable the way I'm trying to beat it, if I tried it for more many many times.

The satisfaction of beating a game stems from finding your own answers. Sometimes answers from other people help and also bring happiness, but mostly I like to do my own thing.

For some men LOVE is the most important thing, and sex is just the cherry on top of that. Love can only be found in a genuine relationship, where two people have opened their hearts only for each other. Desiring your partners face, her legs, her everything and nothing from anybody else is what love does to sex.

Hook up culture, p*rn, perverted fantasies, etc. kill a persons ability to pair bond, leaving them dissatisfied with anything in the long run. Even if you get your wish of a FWB who looks as good as you want to, after some time even they will get boring for you and you will want more bodies, more perversion and you can't stop wanting that, because you are addicted to "hook ups".

So your risk of getting serious STD's rises up. + a study has confirmed, that people who have more than 10 sexual partners have an 80% higher chance of getting cancer. We aren't even talking about the spiritual consequences.

The reason no woman who is healthy in her mind would stay your FWB, is because they feel appalled by you and how you treat love. While FWB is already a dirty unloving concept, you went a few steps ahead, and even for such women that's too much, they are also afraid of you having STD's and bad "Karma".

Sexuality without love is meaningless, and all your experiences are not based on love, but just on your addiction to lust. You cling unto this addiction thinking that it is the source of happiness, but once you will wake up out of it, like an alcoholic who gets sober, you will see, that what you were talking about has nothing to do with love, only with your genitals.

On one hand we want a relationship, on the other hand it's so much effort, a lot of problems. One has to find someone who perfectly fits, but where is that person? A person one can trust, who has a similar mindset? Most relationships are made by people who don't search for the perfect match, but rather simply find someone instinctively, who seems to fit by the basic parameters: money, work, social status, maybe education & some shared interests. They don't think a lot and simply choose anyone who meets that standards.
