It was still an expansion of the original game.
Right after you said that you proceeded to say that my tastes in games is bad, which completely contradicts what you just said to me about what I said to you.
There, I wrote a sentence ABF-style!
Case in point! You're so full of contradictions it's amazing.
I love Mega Man, and I've been playing Mega Man games longer than you have (since you told me that you got into games at an older age than me). It was great for a few years when the sequels started coming out and the gameplay was still the exact same, but after the fifth or sixth game I started thinking "What the fuck? Hey I love these games but why won't they change the gameplay a bit??". When Mega Man X came out and Capcom started hyping it as if it were this incredible new era for Mega Man with some drastic gameplay changes, I was terribly dissapointed that the gameplay was still basically the same as it was before, albeit more refined. You still couldn't aim up. You still can't today. And don't tell me that it's part of what Mega Man is, because that is BS.
And believe me ABF, I am not the only one that feels this way. Many many gamers are with me on this one.
Quote:The extra levels in DK GB are pretty similar to the original three." that statement proves that you have not played DK '94 much, so the discussion is really pointless when you either haven't played the game for any significant amount of time or forget the basics of how it worked.

Dude, I used to have the same before I sold all of my GC stuff. I just have different standards for what makes a game different than you do. Just look at your Mega Man comment.
[quote]I guess assuming that you would read what I said was too much, because that next sentence seemed to me to be a very clear explanation of what the difference between what I said earlier and what you said were...

Quote:Well all I can say to that is to repeat that your taste in good games is bizarre.

Quote:It was huge... as the series progressed things were added -- sliding, charging your shot, Rush, collecting 'money' to buy items (used in Mega Man 4 and 5 on GB as well as, I believe, 7, 8 and MM vs Bass)... then X came and changed so much -- collecting armor parts, wall climbing, different characters (in the later X games), different armors that have different powers, ducking (finally added in X5...)... I know that the basic fundamentals are the same and the extras they added just improve on that, but I love the base gameplay of Mega Man. I own 6 Mega Man games and have played a lot of more than 5 others... and still love the series and don't want it to change much.
When they try to 'innovate' Mega Man we get Legends... That's why I'm concerned about X7 on PS2 -- its 3d... I really hope its done well, but I don't really expect it to be the same (or as good)... which is too bad.
You don't like the gameplay of the series, obviously, so I can certainly see why you wouldn't understand.
