    The fact they made us play through this 3 times was insane 2 should've been the max. The viruses could've just leveld up to stage 3 after Castillo. And the Mystery data changes after you beat duo the 2nd time. So all you have to do is run through the net and grab the mystery data and then you go post game.

    Thoughts when the line "The sun will rise tomorrow." Tristan: "In a few hours, the sun will rise." Also: Holy shit I've been waiting for a while for him to set a default chip! I figured it'd be a heal chip or invis for utility/durability but I'll take anything if it means some consistency available to John. Letter to Lan: "I also have a transmitter attached to you. Knew you were fine, sent friends to help. Love you boys. -Dad PS: Jack into the Generator. I also ass-pulled a backdoor on Regal for the lulz. And finally: Ah yes, the Breast Stroke, a black hole's natural enemy.

    A lot of the "problems" with this game come across as the people working on it wanted it to fail. They had finished BN3, seemingly done with the franchise, and then are told "make another one". If it failed they could actually be done with it, so they made one of the most annoying, tedious, and just un-intuitive games possible, far more than even BN1 in ways, and yet it was one of the best earning games of the series. Which then led to them having to make two more.

    Man. It looks like I really missed out on some decent games on PS2 cause I wasn't hugely invested in anime, only a light enjoyer of some anime around the time I was a teen (and Madoka Magica because dark stories happening to kids and me at the time seem to get along), so I wrote it off. Yes I'm aware that I have the profile that I do despite my very toe tipping into the vast waters of anime all things considered. Maybe I'll spend some time with these in the future while I'm on said water.

I think this is supposed to be Lan going, "I know mom, 'Just remember, be safe', you always tell me that! I'll be fine!" But, due to text limitations and this game's localization being *trash*, it doesn't come across well.

    re: your older MMBN reviews - If you aren't your harshest critic, someone else will be. While your BN1 review definitely feels like a 1000 foot view of the game, and it does come across as something you are learning in terms of what you need to include, what you don't, what you joke about, etc., I COMPLETELY agree with how you handled the back end. After suffering through the slow drag of the first half of the game, you get to a boss level SO BAD, CAPCOM THEMSELVES decided it needed to be fixed in OSS. The PowerPlant is the icing on the "We got told to make a Megaman Spin Off as a Launch Title for GBA" first game syndrome cake that is BN1. Would 2023+ KNIJohn probably include Protoman jumping you right after Elecman? Probably. The Bombman scenario is just timewasting nonsense, and I CACKLE every time I get to the "shouldn't have challenged a 12 year old to online PvP" gag. Your reviews are some of the best looks at Battle Network, especially retrospectively, with *minimal* nostalgia from the time, on the internet today. I can think of 2 others off the top of my head searching; there's not many out there. We're happy to have you, as someone who is a voice, drawing people to this franchise in the vainest of hopes Capcom is listening to their customers (not exclusively their customer's wallets). That said, Star Force 2 should just be a Mystery Science Theater 3000 gag most of the way, and talking about how MIDDLING and SAFE it is.

    Oh god I'm playing LoM right now and I'm in the middle of farming produce for forging. Forging really is "pay attention to literally fucking everything after each forge" or you'll never figure it out on your own- and even then. Gotta step out, check stats, check element values, check to make sure it's picked up something you wanted, and if not, reset and wait 15 seconds at minimum for the remaster to go try it again, which will take 30-40s. Now do this 10-200 times depending on what you're making. I'm really impressed with the the forging has so much depth to it, really, but the tediousness of how slow it takes everything in the game from the forging swings to the slowness of menuing to just mindlessly waiting between options, if it could've been found that the encyclopedias filled in what they did (and under what conditions if discovered), then the forging would be a lot more enjoyable. As it is I'm busy farming produce, which had me farming specific enemies with a specific pet for it's synchro ability so I could get flat and spiny seeds from lullabuds for over an hour alone, and man. What I'm gonna whack out of the materials is gonna be worth it, but it's hyper time consuming. Still better than any fucking gacha though.

    I just can't play Mega Man x4 through x8 anymore because of how responsive the controls are in MMZ. I would way prefer an MMZ-styled remake of X4 through 8, than a MMX8-styled remake of the Zero series. I'd probably want a SNES style remake of X4 though X8 and the Zero games above anything though. Throughout playing Mega Man, and Mega Man X, I never, ever even thought about using uncharged buster shots on bosses, unless it was the very first boss of the games where you don't start with a chargeable buster, and even then I would look up which boss was weak to the buster so I didn't waste time chipping away 1 damage at a time. I would never have thought to complain about how little damage the uncharged buster does to bosses in the Zero games. It was just kind of a given that you'd either use charged elemental buster shots, or any other weapon's combo or charge. That said, they really ought to have given Zero a "buster combo" so that 3 or 4 quick shots would override enemy i-frames just as his sabre-combo does. They could have had Zero gain a weapon-level after every stage, based on what weapon you used the most or something. Or maybe a skill for every weapon you used, just because there probably wouldn't be enough stages to max out all the weapons if you only gained one weapon-skill per stage.
