Mega Man 11 - Before You Buy

Mega Man 11 (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch) from a series that hasn't gotten a proper game in a LONG time. After Keiji Inafune's Mighty No. 9 disappointed pretty hard, is Capcom's answer worth it? Let's discuss.

You guys should make a new series "how this game reminds of us of dark souls" so you can stop mentioning it in all your other videos.

[@alexadelaide]

daftmagician If there were more modern games with a decent difficulty rating, the comparison wouldn’t be as necessary

[@daftmagician]

i didn't say anything about the difficulty comparison. i saw a video where this guy says some mobile game reminds him of dark souls despite the fact that they play nothing alike, look nothing alike, nor was the difficulty of the game ever mentioned. also cuphead. if you're going to compare a difficult game, at least compare it to something closer in genre. even if it isn't as hard as the sacred cow that the souls series seems to be.

[@alexadelaide]

daftmagician I hear you, the game might get mentioned a little too much, but I think if you did a survey of people that know video games and asked them to name a hard game, a large portion would say Dark Souls. It’s relatable. If you’re making a video for an audience of millions it’s probably easier to go with the obvious option that everybody knows. I do like your idea though, a video of all games with hard difficulties could break up the monotony and also give ideas to people who enjoy hard games of things to tackle next.

[@daftmagician]

goggles789 ah yes i can see your point. i can see how dark souls, a game from 2011, was able to transcend time and inspire a series that began in 1987. i think you've won me over. also demon's souls came before dark souls and it is never mentioned even though it began that style of game.

[@bk-wi3wo]

When ppl say "like dark souls",what they mean it "its difficult".whether the game is any thing like dark souls makes them no difference lol.i learned this while playing sekiro lol.

Funny how Mega Man 8 was released in 1997, then the series went on a hiatus until 2008 with Mega Man 9 then 10 in 2010. Little over 10 years for Mega Man to come back. Now, we've not had a Mega Man game until 2018, 8 years - the second coming of Mega Man. We better not have to wait another decade....

I was skeptical at first, luckily I bought the game anyway and saw the rest of what the game had to offer.

[@doodledangernoodle2517]

The introduction of the 8 Robot Master system in Mega Man 2 was great because it had more space for the NES opposed to the 6 in Mega Man 1. But since the newer games are on superior systems, I think adding more robot masters or Mavericks to future games, bringing the total up to 10 or 12 would benefit them greatly my opinion.

[@dennisroy6282]

To clarify one point, is there another Mega Man game that you would recommend to a first-timer over this one, or is MM11 as good of a starting point as any? What version? I've seen reviews that say the Playstation version has a slight input lag compared to the Xbox and Windows versions. And what about Mega Man X? What's the best of that series for someone playing for the first time? Or should I plan on mastering MM11 (or some other MM) before thinking of taking on X? Thank you in advance, the review was very good. Just wanted to make sure of that one point. MM11 attracts me more than the older games because it's the best *looking* in terms of the graphics.

[@ningensan8198]

I think 11 is a good start since it has multiple difficulties to suit everyone! As for the x series I'd say x1 or x4 are a good start Hope that helps

[@LiamStillwell]

I was actually very impressed by Mega Man 11s story. It struck a very fine balance by staying very minimalistic while also telling something significant. The opening dialogue between Light and Wily brought another level of "human-ness" and complexity to Wily and Light's relationship, as well as made Wily's motivations more fleshed out and unique. And the mid-game dialogue where Dr. Light said that if he had actually tried to direct Wily on the right track rather than flat out telling him he was wrong was actually REALLY profound and a good message you wouldn't expect to see planted in a Mega Man game. Then we have when you realize all Wily needed was guidance and he could have done great things with his invention, and that that it could have been reality if Light had been more patient with him. Then years later, after Wily has degenerated into an egotistical maniac, Dr. Light, the very person whose opposition drove Wily to who he is, takes WILY'S invention and uses it AGAINST him, for GOOD. It's a kind of sad irony that makes you feel a little sympathetic for Dr. Wily, and it really throws a curveball at everything when we now see Dr. Light has some responsibility in how everything turned out. When you carefully consider it, there are some very clever, nuanced, and meaningful plot devices integrated into Mega Man 11s story that REALLY flesh out the characters and the universe. Edit: I just also thought I should mention the cleverness how the Double Gear system served as both a gameplay gimmick and a storytelling motif for the theme of "working together"...cause gears work together. Just another subtle game-plot integration I wanted to point out.

[@thankyouverymochi]

bruh I tried it, bought it on June 2022 so it's been at least 6 months. never really played it and only played 3 hours. it's so difficult, there's no guide where the boss's weakness is and you can't wall jump to evade machinewash boss (toxicman 2nd stage). what annoys me the most is how there's always unnecessary small ledge/small space to jump trap with spikes around it and when you fail you had to restart from long checkpoint. there's a limit on different weapon but not on your OG's cannon, what ? this game is too hard and annoys me so much, who need a stressfull game after a stressfull day at work ? I regret buying this game

[@Tarnished9200]

[@zzzhuh]

I've been playing Megaman 11 for a few days now, and I'm still on the 3rd guy... I'm also playing it on Normal, and you are not kidding when you say it is difficult. I've beaten Megaman 1-4 on NES multiple times, and when Megaman 9 came out, I had a hard time with it, but now I can breeze thru it no problem. This game however, the longer check points is very noticeable, and some of the level design is a bit 'off' for me. This is easily the hardest Megaman game I've played.

This game deserves the credit. It's both fun and challenging. Yeah, there are points I go "oh come on!" and then points where I feel good about improving. And it makes sure it's gimmick of the game works well. The double gear system adds to the experience. Slowing things down or powering up your boss weapons (thus gaining new attacks with them) is fun and gives you weapons to tackle the challenges. This is a really good base to build off for future games. It felt right.

[@Prime_Legend]

Pong? Lmao, wtf is that? Truth is, most single player games with stories are the ones that are most known and sell the best, as well are given a higher score by game critics. Also, a lot of gameplay only franchises struggle in the long run, with Mario being the only exception, and that is mainly because of his insane marketing. The story brings context into what you're doing. Why should I play this game? What's the history or lore of this level? What am I trying to accomplish? Story in games give a reason to actually play the game, rather than simply playing the game because "I wanna have fun." If I just wanna have a simple fun experience, I'd rather play a phone games. On a console, I'm looking for a motivating, 8 hour+ and exciting experience that a game without story would never ever provide. Funny enough, Mario came up with stories in video games and that actually boosted their popularity.

If we're comparing its level of challenge to Dark Souls, I'd say this goes so much further, both in difficulty and punishment.

[@joshuaprz3]

RynKen This game is nowhere near as hard as DS unless you play on Superhero difficulty. The Double Gears give you a lot of leeway. Plus, bolts for E-Tanks and extra lives are super easy to rack up. It’s one of the easier games, Imo, but still super fun.

[@RynKen]

"One of the easier games" I find that hard to believe, especially after watching this video, but thank you for mentioning your point of view.

[@JazzyBassy]

Some people just aren't as good in platformers, but most people would agree that Megaman is easier than DS simply because of how many resources it gives you and how easy it is to beat the bosses with the right weapon. Classic Megaman always has had a backwards difficulty curve until the Willy Stage, the X series even more so because of the upgrades. The hardest level in Megaman until Willy Stage is almost always the first one you pick.

Regardless, I'm glad that they're back. Imagine if Megaman 11 met the same fate as Legends 3. If you asked anyone in 2011 if they thought Capcom would cancel a Megaman 11 after announcing it they'd tell you it was absolutely a possibility.

I love Mega Man 11!!! The gameplay is reminiscent of the old titles but with easier controls. The graphics are beautifully updated with a nice color pallet and textures. I'm looking forward to XII.

[@nitter93]

9 stages, huh?

[@tantohalim]

honestly, if they can do something like this to megaman X, I would be really happy.

[@andvladtheimpaler]

When is AC odessey before you buy video happening?

[@itselijah7517]

Right!

[@kaichou5985]

Probably friday

[@thedombomb5542]

I find playing Megaman games on the Switch is unbearable unless you customize your controls. For 11, I've got: R to shoot, A to jump, Y and B for double gears, Rush on Zr and Zl, and that leaves weapon switch on X and L. Shooting with your index finger is muuuch more comfortable than trying to hold down a button to charge your shot with your thumb while jumping on the cramped Joycon setup. Give this a shot if it feels like Megaman doesn't feel right on Switch, I played the entire X Legacy and Legacy collections with variations of this control scheme, and I love it.

[@BigMac87963]

Awesome game! Loving every second of it. Well except the Bounce Man level....fuck that level

[@GenyaArikado]

Bounce Mans level wasn't even hard. I did 0 times. It wasn't annoying if you understood how the bouncing/physics works. I died Torch man though!! That level was hard. I am playing on the normal difficulty!

[@taskmaster3771]

X had a slightly more mature storyline. Also Zero was a great addition as he was utilized later in the series, but i would like to see a remake version of Megaman X where you can choose from either zero or X. It would be nice to see the different routes and stages Zero goes when they part there separate ways at the end of the first stage and meet up later at the end of the game.

BuT wHaT aBoUt MeGaMaN lEgEnDs?!?!?!?!?

[@PopeBruce]

After saying these are not first tries watching you slide into bosses hurts my heart. Solid review thanks for your effort.

[@DrViperVideos]

Just buy it, support megaman

[@namebp]

RE7 was supposed to be the biggest Capcom's comeback MH World was supposed to be the biggest Capcom's comeback Dead Rising 4 was supposed to be the biggest Capcom's comeback Megaman 11 was supposed to be... Well you get the idea.

[@ender_blade]

Don't look at it Degenerate Double Gear is temporary But Skyrim is forever

[@melkyman11]

eventually will buy both but which do i get first Assassin creed odyssey or Red Dead 2

[@ArmoredGamingZ]

Never played any megaman game. Anyone else?

[@youngmerc7717]

Rubbers are for land lubbers thats dumb but okay

[@kodojow22]

Probably a lot of people but me personally I’ve played quite a few of them but I don’t really like them as much as I used to

[@somewhatagamer6836]

Henrik 3riksen I’ve never really played a lot of the originals. I always thought the early X games were far superior.

[@wmvnotmp4]

Now's your chance. The series is great. I may be biased tho lol

[@iamzomb.]

Oh God ur missing out been playing this shit since I was like 4

[@catatonic165]

I love this game. Its now my 2nd favorite Mega Man game. (My #1 will always be Mega Man 2) if youre into these types of games and debating about buying it, dont hesitate. Do it!

[@slrdspirit]

Thanks for these comments. At first I was hurting cause the game is hard and challenging. But a few comments REMINDED me that THAT'S what classic Megaman is ALL ABOUT.. and now I actually appreciate that this shit is hard. 🙏🏾

[@HalcyonEX]

I enjoy the megaman-X series of games does this game take some of the gameplay from those games?

[@temphandle01a]

To me it's really surprising how faithful this one is to the series. It really feels like a genuine classic mega man but much more well refined. The best part is how you can customize the way you play it with the in game store and double gear mechanic being 100% optional, unless you happen to lack discipline that is.

[@pratikhazari3701]

Got this yesterday and the level design is amazing. The electric guy's stage (Volt Man I think?) has good hazard designs, and Bounce Man's stage is GREAT platforming.

[@Skytric-game-remix]

In the end as a friend said. Except no substitutes. Mega Man 11 is proof that the company involved with it, is where it really needs to stay. Inafune only adopted the series, but wasn't the creator, and to even bridge that and say it's better than Mighty No. 9 is like saying it's better than a fan game. While Mighty No.9 was indeed made to be a new Mega Man, it was just that, a wanna be copy. So no more of this, MN9 is tied to MM, because of creator stuff. It was like any other fan game out there, but when it comes down to it, Mega Man is back by it's rightful owners and they just did a great job representing what the older games were. I do wonder where they will take things now.

[@tigerex777]

Let's all remember the original developers had tons of talented people working for them. It's not just ONE guy doing the whole work. So just because the original guy made another game it doesn't mean it will automatically be as good as the old ones. Case in point Mighty No. 9 and the new castlevania reject game by the producer of Symphony of the Night (still the best Castlevania ever).

[@Hobbies305]

Never played MegaMan 11 but I gotta say it looks great and hopefully they bring back the MegaMan X series cuz to me those games are amazing from the color palettes to the music

[@tengudwn57]

Honestly, Mega man 11 is up there with my favorites. 4,7, and now 11. My only complaint is how fast it goes, but this is where Capcom can go ham on DLC

[@L3V1A7H0N]

Easily the best Megaman game ever made. That's really no exaggeration at all. It's fucking glorious.

[@rocdaneweracap]

I'm a 80s baby and this is a must

[@RobertLoyale]

As long as there wasn't any "Jump Jump slide slide JumsliJump slidJump Jump" moments lol

[@captainjacksparrow3994]

Would you recommend if you actually beat and liked Mighty No.9?

[@toopienator]

Capcom's on a ROLL with this game. I hope the high versions of notes like BASS and TREBLE. It was very MEGA. I see the LIGHT of day for Mega Man. I'll stop the character puns AUTOmatically. Edit: As long as they don't RUSH games out, I'll be fine.

[@TheFarthan]

Before you buy Mega Man 11, ask yourself these simple questions: 1. Do I like Mega Man games? 2. Is this a new Mega Man game that I have not played yet? If your answer to the previous questions is "yes," then you should buy Mega Man 11.

[@santiagocano4141]

0:30 very true, not just games series in general that have tried and make a come back with the original developer. Many people are heavily blinded by this fact and ignore a lot of the problems the new series has, its really sad that people blind themselves with such delusion

[@thefodunk2]

Just beat it. It was a lot of fun. Only complaint I really have is a weird one. I would have liked to see a much longer game. It's worth the $30 but I would have paid $60 for a more in depth game. It reminded me of the original length of a MegaMan game. It can be beaten pretty easily in one sitting. I feel like I got half of what I wanted for half the price. At least they didn't do a dlc type thing. My final say. Buy it. It's worth the money. Replay value might not be great but its a solid game that is definitely a MegaMan game.

[@XEndlessSteelX]

Bought it, finished it, (on normal) loved it. Likely going to replay it on hard soon.
