Nothing, clearly.

WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN!?

- The story and translation are terrible. Everyone knows this already. Moving on.

- BN4 is extremely stingy with giving the player good payouts throughout the story. You're underpowered at all times in the face of this game's sadistic viruses(es) compared to past titles, and there are way too many mandatory story moments where you're forced to give up your zenny, so it's impossible to save up for actual important stuff to buy like chips and powerups. I had to cheat my way through the game just to level the playing field, and this was only the initial playthrough before everything gets ridiculously stronger on subsequent NG+.

- Every single scenario is fucking horrible. I can't stress enough that there isn't a single fun scenario to be had here. Everything forces you to run around the internet doing time-wasting tasks that range from tedious fetch quests to soul-sucking minigames that are harder than they have any right to be for a children's RPG game. Most if not all of them require precise timing and having to start over if you screw up even a couple times. And when it's not Mario Party AI-run minigames, it's obnoxious crap like having to locate the correct chips for ColdMan's scenario, and you're just shit the fuck outta luck if you don't have them at this part of the story. By the way, there's only three actual dungeons in the entire game - most of everything takes place on the main internet with some obnoxious gimmick attacked to it. Ugh.

- For every improvement or new feature added to the battle system, you have one or two things taken away from you for no apparent reason. The add chip system is gone and you can only have a maximum of eight chips with custom program parts, unless you use Number Soul in one of the versions. Style change is replaced with soul unison, and considering the random order you get them, go fuck yourself if you get stuck with a soul you don't care about. Full synchro replaces bugfrag counter drops from 3, which makes it harder than ever before to collect bugfrags. ModTools and compression codes are completely gone for the NaviCust. The end result is a messy hodgepodge which can't figure out whether it wants to improve or replace BN3's battle system outright.

- You can't run away from random encounter bosses. You can in past games. I don't think I need to explain what's wrong with this picture. And the omega variants are extremely brutal. AquaMan alone had 1800 HP. Jesus christ!! WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA!?

- lol having to play the entire game three fucking times

The only Megaman game that I've played is about 6 minutes of the MM11 demo...

I assume parents love this game.

I'm really sorry. I hope it's nothing major.

Well, if the probabilities are on your side it could be just common cold, and as long as you're not an elder person or have some health problems that'd make you more vulnerable to the corona virus you're prolly safe from the worst harm anyway.

I suppose resting (and trying to boost your health/immunity, I have heard lemon, ginger, honey and some type of zinc are good for that) would be handy in all cases if it's possible for you to take a break but hopefully it's not corona at least.

Just take care, I hope it's nothing serious.

Thanks. I think the likelihood that I got the virus is pretty damn low but I can't help but be paranoid since I'm very germophobic. I'm also very worried about passing it to my family assuming I do have it.

Well, I feel you, flus are something I hate myself, mostly because they're always hitting in the worst of times when it comes to the schedules, making doing anything three times as hard as usual and all. Probably the only reason I know any of those helps for flu at all... I cannot use the public transportation without gloves anymore, I have seen people first coughing on their hands and then touching and basically wiping their paws each and every bench-holding pillar on the way to the bus door... There was a person practically coughing straight into my hand in a train and after that I decided I'm not showing my ticket card to the reader anymore in there since it isn't obligatory when the ticket is for a certain time period anyway.

Hope it gets better and isn't corona in your case.

Easily the peak of the franchise. 

Dr. Cossack being the one who created Bass is a really cool twist. 

*raises hand*

Can we talk about regular pirates? Like Blackbeard and eyepatches and treasure and stuff????

so what you wanna do is download mario and slam dunk it onto that emulator

@Sean i was not expecting to see that image tonight for the first time in my life but i'll be damned if i'm not super happy that i did

What game is that again?

Rockman.EXE: Operate Shooting Star.

How do you get a translated version?

@Pelvic WOO! engine There's a translation patch for the DS version. I'm not using it since I'm playing my imported copy on my 3DS though. I just follow an LP.

What's your opinion on the starforce games? I've just begun playing starforce x ninja x zerker.

I've only played some of the first game. The battle system is weird and I don't fully understand it like I do with BN's, but I like the story and characters a lot.

What an ominous and badass sounding name.

NEVERMIND.

you, uh

gonna delete this status now?

never

you will live with your mistakes
