Re: Overrated Games
Mega Man 2. Now, before people think I am being biased just because this game is really popular, let me say that this is the first Mega Man game I have ever played and beaten. I associate it a lot with my childhood.
The hype that this game gets in the Mega Man fandom is really eye-roll inducing. It is not a bad game in the slightest and I do like it. It has good music (which is also overrated, especially Wily Castles 1 and 2), but the gameplay can be really cheap, the weapons you get are broken and make blitzing though many levels a breeze, and I find the bosses to be really bland. I liked Mega Man 1, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9 better.
Why do I call it an overrated game? I guess because the people who claim this to be the greatest game in the series always say the later titles suck and will never be as good. They look at this game like it was a pot of gold, when in fact it had its set of problems that I cannot overlook. I guess I can see why it's a popular game, but I just don't share the same sentiment. It is not my favorite game in the series, and I am not going to stop people from feeling like it's the best game, but I am just saying it is not that great that it warrants an endless amount of praise, at least in my opinion.
