I finally rage quit Super Hexagon... And started up Final Fantasy Tactics for the hell of it. I forgot how good this game is.

Oh don't worry... you'll come back to it eventually...

Fire Emblem Awakening. Nice game, I like all the extras.
I would finish Radiant Dawn too, but my Wii is so incredibly noisy when playing that game.

Been playing Megaman 3. I can definitely say that this is a more challenging game than MM2, especially at the start when you just have the Power Blaster at your disposal. I'm glad they made the Robot Masters more challenging to fight - the ones in MM2 were often pushovers compared to these even with just the Power Blaster and each of the masters' weapons that were effective against them just destroyed them (Metal blades OHKOs Metalman).
However, that made frustratingly take on each of the stages until I successfully defeated Topman to gain his weapon. Then, I tried every stage again (with me consistently failing to get to Shadowman, who was weak to Topman's weapon, in his stage) until I wound up defeating Sparkman with the blaster. Then I started destroying each of the robot masters one by one. At the moment; I have Geminiman (who is so freaking frustrating to fight), Snakeman and Needleman to defeat before advancing onto Dr. Wily's stages.

I'd argue Magnet Man is the easiest with the buster once you figure out his pattern. Top Man is fairly easy too. It should be smooth sailing once you have the others' weaknesses as well, except for Needle Man and Gemini Man. Those guys... I hate those guys... They take practice. I mean the entire game does really but those two especially. Otherwise it's fairly average difficulty, not so bad. And definitely far more fair than 2. Though I admit the Top Spin takes a bit of practice to perfect, but fortunately I think you only have to use it on two bosses in the entire game, and they're pushovers if you do it right.

Strange. I just finished MM2 (Wily Wars version) and am playing MM3 as well. I beat all the Robot Masters, and I'm on the four Doc Robot levels. (Is that really what he's called? It sounds like a stupid name, but that's what my ancient Nintendo Power magazine calls it.)

Quick Man still sucks...

[Russ]

Doc Robot? Wow Nintendo Power... No, his name is Dr. Wily (hence, The Wily Wars). All this talk is reminding me, I really oughta get back to that game. I beat Wily Wars' port of 1, and just gave up on 2 cuz it was so terrible. I oughta try 3 now.

[kurt91]

I know who Dr. Wily is, for crying out loud! I'm talking about the name of the robot who copies the powers from the Robot Masters from Mega Man 2, and you have to figure out which of the MM3 Robot Master abilities to use against them. You have to re-visit four of the different levels and fight him twice in each level. For instance, when you fight him in Spark Man's level, he takes the powers of Metal Man and Quick Man.

Chapter 28 in The Last Story. The story got really intense. Now I have time to finally finish this amazing game.

You are so fired like you don't even know.

Re: Doc Robot, yeah, those fights are pretty insane, and I don't remember their weaknesses. They're more difficult this time around, and I feel like some of the weaknesses didn't make a ton of sense. Ah well. That's probably the only low point of 3 for me, and probably the only reason I like 4 better.

Mega Man 3 has been completed, giving me access to the full arsenal for my assault on Wily Tower. I beat Buster Rod, Mega Water, and Hyper Storm, and began storming the tower. Unfortunately, the lack of continue points in any of the levels cut my progress at the second Wily level. I'll probably have this done by tomorrow at this rate. I kind of wish that the rest of the Mega Man games had gotten touched up as well. Wily Wars has its faults, such as a horrendous slow-down rate when there's even just three bullets on-screen, and the fact that they meddled with the famous MM2 Dr Wily 1 music, but it's rather nice seeing how they decided to handle the graphics.

I suppose after this, I'll probably get around to finishing my Pokemon Colosseum game. I'm still on my first time ever playing this game, and it's fairly good. Misdrevious just tears apart the AI, though. Nobody seems to know how to handle a Ghost-type. I'm wanting to fill out my PokeDex with the earlier games, and then use PokeGen to import my series-wide collection into Black/White 2. I'm tired of having to re-catch all the Pokemon I already have every time a new game comes out. I'd rather just copy the ones I've already gotten into the new game and start from there. (Although to keep things fair, I'll stick to low-level ones appropriate to where I am in the game instead of sweeping everything with the various legendaries.)

[The Satellite]

I've heard several of the Wily Wars tracks. In my opinion, they're all generally kind of awful. The graphical style is kind of neat, though it's funny seeing how much tinier Protoman is in comparison to Megaman.

I got bored and decided to stream myself playing N at 4:30 AM. Cue me dying in hilarious ways...

Megaman 3 - Beat the rest of the Robot Masters and am now tackling on the Doc Robot stages. Needleman isn't so bad once you have Geminiman's weapon, but you have to time your attacks carefully to avoid having to cop needles to your face while you wait for the Gemini lasers to either hit return him or fade.
However, I am starting to get dissapointed at the Doc Robot stages. Its not the fact that they were reskins of previous levels, but because they try to stop you with cheap tricks in the same way that the Wily stages did in MM2. Particularly his variant of Needleman's stage, which has a long Rush Jet segment supplemented with power recharge things to keep your Rush Jet running. If you screwed up there and run out of recharge things along the segment to use for your Rush Jet, then you have to restart the stage because the whole trip accross the gap requires more than a full tank of Rush Jet energy. Oh, did I forget? Airman is now a complete jerk now that Doc Robot is using him as the midboss on that stage, right before that Rush Jet segment.

Anyway, my list of Robot Master weaknesses for the whole game:

Spoiler

MM3 Robot masters:

• Snakeman: Needle Blaster.
• Needleman: Gemini Laser.
• Topman: (?, my guess being Hard Fist).
• Shadowman: Top Spin.
• Magnetman: Sparkman.
• Geminiman: (?, my guess being Search Snake).
• Hardman: Magnet Shot.
• Sparkman: (?, my guess being Shadow Blade).

MM2 Doc Robot forms:

• Airman: Magnet Shot.
• Quickman: ? (haven't fought).
• Woodman: Search Snake.
• Crashman: Hard Fist.
• Flashman: Needle Blaster.
• Metalman: ? (havent fought).
• Heatman: ? (havent fought).
• Bubbleman: Spark Shot.

Well I picked up The Last Story this morning at gamestop, and I'm now playing it.
But one thing I want to say about the start of this game. It is confusing and fighting is pretty strange.

I don't know about this game, I hope it gets better when I get further in.

Edit: I have gotten pretty far into the game, but my god this game is so linear... I really really hope the game gets better.
If it don't I wasted a good 40 Bucks on this.
