[@ProfessorZtar]

The only problem with Powered Up is that it's a PSP only title. Had it and Maverick Hunter X gotten released on any other console, they would have sold better, and we'd have had at least 3 Powered Ups. Can you imagine how amazingly fun it would have been to play as the MM2 and MM3 bosses, and with more Roll outfits?

[@softwaffle8535]

Didn't she have a bunch of different costumes in this too? Idk if I'm remembering right, but I thought I played through it as her in a ninja costume.

[@Pensive_Scarlet]

Yes, a Roll game would be great! I think it could work as a little gaiden type story, with six Robot Masters as a callback to the first game. All the Robot Masters would be based on different domestic services and utilities, like vacuum, blender, maybe an elevator-based one. There would be something interesting about Roll just blasting her way through all these archaic housekeeper, maid, butler archetypes, I think. >.>

@@almondjoy4938 It's funny cause there's an in-game explaining for that: "Though the Yellow Devil's massive body seems like it might be a better fit for a Power Gear, even Wily has to struggle with budget issues from time to time, so he decided to limit the upgrade to the classic split attack and trust that a speed boost to this old favorite would be enough to do the job."

@@tonts5329 oh no... completing NieR(2010) would be a nightmare! The weapon upgrade parts have dismal drop rates.

[@fubblyfubbles]

If he intends to fully complete NieR: Automata, it may be... Interesting. (This is coming from someone who did 100% Automata) While the game is tons of fun, it becomes very RNG heavy by the end of completion, when trying to get rare upgrade materials, those last few needed rare enemies to spawn for unit data, and... fishing to fill out the encyclopedia. Fishing, the most maddening thing Automata has to offer. Aside from that, Jirard is the type to do _everything_, and with Automata, that includes Very Hard mode. He will definitely lose his sanity to that, if the game's story or RNG heavy road to 100% haven't done so already. All of that said, I would like to see him complete, and make a video about NieR: Automata.

[@ryuail]

@@fubblyfubbles I think the most difficult thing filling out the fishing log? I platinumed the game by use of [redacted] for the fishing. Oh... I forgot about the higher difficulties.

[@fubblyfubbles]

@@ryuail Higher difficulties are indeed a "thing" in Automata. Hard mode isn't that bad (requires a decent amount of work with the chips), but Very Hard is something alright. I think if Jirard does Hard and Very Hard on his completed file - as opposed to creating a new game - he may be able to do them fairly quickly. Like playing the game again as a NG+ mode.

Hey Jirard, great video, as always! Just a little feedback: when you talk about sound design, like in 8:10, i believe you could let people hear the sounds you are talking about during the video. Since you were talking over them, the audience can't take their own conclusions.

[@GabrielShakkori]

I agree

[@MinusBros]

Never clicked on a Completionist video faster.

[@mr.g-force5563]

Hot take that's probably going to get me a lot of shit: Not receiving a reward for accomplishing an incredibly difficult task in a video game is not actually the worst thing ever. For one, the game doesn't have a completion percentage displayed, at least to my knowledge. (I don't have the game yet, but in all the footage I've seen, I think I'm correct here.) Thus, being pressured to get all of the gold medals is is entirely on you. They're meant to be fun, self-imposed challenges that don't lead to a reward, and therein lies the second problem. If there was actually a reward for getting all 86 gold medals, I 100% guarantee that people would bitch incessantly about how getting the reward is "way too hard" and "not worth it", no matter how good the reward actually is. On the flip side, when there is no reward, you feel that all your pain and hard work was for nothing. Except, like I said, the game doesn't mock you with an unfinished completion percentage if you don't get the medals, so they're clearly just meant to be a fun time waster that is NOT meant to be stressed over. The bottom line is that no matter if there is a reward or not, you're gonna piss a lot of people off. It's a textbook example of a Morton's Fork scenario. I'm in the camp of people that believe that bragging rights are enough of a reward. Despite my rant, I'll accept that most of my comment will be invalidated if the game does actually display a completion percentage somewhere that I'm unaware of.

[@chromasus9983]

I am fairly sure the only "completion percentage" the game has is trophies/achievements/what-have-you displayed both in game and on the platform you play it on. So you are pretty much on point about your.. Well, point.

[@AngelicMissMarie]

Honestly, there is no reason for them to include a "reward" for completionists because for most people who do this it's just do it for the sake of doing it. Having a reward is nice I guess but then you get scenarios where you played a game for dozens of hours and it rewards you with unlimited power unlock, a costume or a really good item which is only useful if you plan on playing it again. Or it makes your save file look all pretty or gives you videos or concept art to look at. There is no reward they can give a completionist that they'd actually appreciate aside from a pop-up that says "Congratulations"

[@Billaxle]

I grew up in the age of E-Peens and bragging rights. Jirard is just pissed because he feels like it was his job to get those medals, which it kinda was... Jirard _became_ The Completionist _because_ he wanted the bragging rights. Now it's just a job... Such juxtapositions can really make you think.

[@billcipher2604]

Mr. G-Force Well, he doesn't say that the completion bonus affects the quality of the game. If a game gets "complete it" and another gets "finish it" that doesn't mean one is better than the other, it just means one has rewards that are worth playing to 100%

[@greg4675]

To me getting the platinum trophy is enough for considering it a completionist run.

[@Sbungo61]

While i love this game, there's one small thing that makes me love it even more. For the first time (aside Megaman 4) the Robot Masters's creators are actually known this way ensuring the fact that they aren't made by one doctor alone. This little detail gives so much worldbuilding actually that makes me want to see remakes of the previous classic games with this style (this way making improvements over the frustrating sections of the original nes games) with the Robot Masters that aren't made by Light and Wily (like all the RMs from Megaman 6 and many RMs from Megaman 7, 8, 10, and &Bass) having actual different creators around the world.

Jirard: (Gets mad doing the Dr. Light trials. Me: Still trying to beat yellow devil on normal...

[@RanCossack]

Megaman 11 definitely had alot going for it, but at the same time, I feel like it's another example of wasted potential. The Speed Gear is a Godsend, that can make things SO much easier. . . But the Power gear, more often than not, felt completely useless to me. (Save for powered up Robot Master weapons, and even then, I rarely felt the need to use em.) Gameplay wise, it feels like it could really do for some alternate characters to play through with, though at this point that'd be leaning toward paid DLC, as Capcom loves to use whenever possible. . Story wise, where the heck are Protoman and Bass? Why are they nowhere to be found throughout this whole thing? It would of been amazing if Bass had been here, and been one of the final bosses, with a perfected Double Gear system, like Wily has! That would of been one hell of a fight. And don't all the robots Wily stole belong to a bunch of different developers? Heck, Tundra Man is one of Dr. Cossack's robots! (Says so in his bio.) Why didn't HE try to recover him? Did all these scientist see what was happening and just decide "Welp, just gonna sit back and let Light try to fix this." Also, the story kinda paints Dr. Light out to be quite the jerk. Getting Wily's research completely banned, purely because he disagreed with it, instead of giving him the chance to see it through, for good or for bad? That's just petty. Meanwhile, Light's research will eventually lead to the X franchise, and its near-apocalypse scenario, due to his development of AI. But it's the Double Gear system that's the dangerous one, right Light? . Overall, I feel like the game is pretty darn good, but it's held back by some missed opportunities, and odd design choices. And I'm sorry Jirard got stuck having to beat that horrific challenge mode, cause my goodness, watching him suffer through it on Twitch was quite the experience indeed.

[@Shalakor]

Well, obviously, since Wily used the Speed Gear to steal and modify the robots this time around, nobody else had time enough to respond! ...Totally the reason. I think the main thing that limits Power Gear for Mega Man is the fact that his Charge Shot is deceptively weak in comparison to the normal rapid fire blaster shots. Yes, very useful for knocking shields away and mowing through multiple weaker enemies, but a lot of common enemies are really good a tanking a charged blast but only require so many regular shots to take down with little to no invincibility frames. The Charge Shot is more of a tool than a weapon in this installment I feel, speed is the game. Honestly though, I feel like that's by design as intended. Mega Man is just a more a agility leaning robot design, so he gets better and more frequent base use out of the Speed Gear. The whole classic series in general is more about the platforming than the combat when it really comes down to it. But, don't underestimate how truly powerful the charged Robot Master weapons can be when you tap the Power Gear on and off for a single shot at a time in conjunction with Speed Gear. Honestly, the Power Gear lives up to it's name in theory, but in practice there's just too many things to juggle in a playthrough for most people to be able or willing to get the best use out of it. It is pretty overwhelming just to think about only jumping and shooting precisely, then weapon selection complicates that further, and now the Gears add another layer and can just as easily force mistakes as they can save you. But that's a good thing. More complex gameplay that's totally based on player choice, and the challenge of making use of these mechanics mirrors their thematic flavoring too, so it's a win/win even as you die/die. Although, I do say this somewhat as an outsider, cause, even as much as I love the series, I'm actually pretty terrible at playing these games. Like, probably not The worst, but close enough that it makes no difference. No amount of critical analyzation matters without enough coordination to execute it.

i wonder if wily is responsible for the reploids power though Zero was in a class of his own, just under a fully upgraded x. its possible that the tech is actually based on wily's gear sustem. but wily is basicly making wmds, sure they dan be used for good. but look how wily implimented it

[@Scott89878]

I used the power gear for Tundra man's power, which kills like everyone on the screen. It also gives you a bigger acid shield and makes Blast man's power really strong and is how I beat the first Wily boss.

[@randomguy6679]

Are you complaining about the plot in a Mega Man game? THE PLOT. in a MEGA MAN GAME?!

[@Scott89878]

The plot of Mega Man is that Wily is using 8 robot masters to cause chaos, you beat them and steal their powers, then you go to Wily's levels. Or if it is Mega Man X, you deal with Sigma instead and do his levels. The plot is a minor thing and honestly, this game with it's cut scenes, gave us a bit more than the ones on the NES and SNES did.

[@living_water_pod]

The motto of completionists might as well be " I do this so you don't have to"

[@diyagheith1]

Well I never played mega Man. Where do you guys recommend me to start? Should I start with this one?

[@demi-fiendoftime3825]

This one, 2, 9, or 10

[@philatio1744]

6 and 7 are really easy, but 2,3,9 and 10 are considered to be the best by some.

[@diyagheith1]

Are the megaman games are as hard as let's say ,cuphead? Don't get me wrong I loved cuphead. But the crazy scientist one with the giant robot is where I drew the line

[@philatio1744]

diyagheith1 hm, i don't think either of them reach that level of difficulty, maybe with the exception of Megaman 1 because of some poor instances of bad level design and bs enemy placement.

[@philatio1744]

As i said, though. Megaman 6 and 7 are probably the easiest ones. I would recommend picking up the first megaman legacy collection to experience some of the titles in the franchise. The compilation has a mode that lets you rewind your movements in the game, erasing some of the hard difficulty of the games.

[@chalgress12]

You can get health orbs and weapon packs to drop in Superhero mode by equipping the thing that makes more of them drop. But, since only one is on at a time and bolts drop anyway, you can effectively pick which type of resource you want to find on the fly. it's a minor optimization, but every blip counts.

[@Souko_osu]

Oh my, completing this seemed like such a struggle. Thank you for putting in the effort as always! Looks like a great game

[@michaeldiaz7620]

It's nice to hear someone that gives an honest opinion with legit criticism instead of someone giving nothing but praise towards a game. Jirard has definitely earned some sleep after today.

[@vaquita7118]

I like the 2.5 visual style. I’m sorry but as much a I like pixel style, it doesn’t have a place in a new game by a big company such as capcom. If they made this game with pixel visuals you’d see people bitching that they never change anything. If they didn’t add a new mechanic you’d see bitching about it being the same every time. This game is not perfect, but at least it is a start of a new direction and tbh I’m just happy megaman is no longer dead. I hope it sells well.

[@SuperLlama42]

Unless you're an amazing pixel artist, 8-bit style pixel graphics are getting pretty stale (Highly detailed pixel graphics like in Freedom Planet or Sonic Mania, however, I'll never get tired of.)

[@sinteleon]

And you can go even higher res pixel graphics that that, for the matter.

[@Rifat.Rafael.Birmizrahi]

Try Mega Man Powered Up it's like 11 but a bit simpler. Powered Up also allows you to play with Roll!!! And robot masters as well as Proto Man!

[@somefrog9673]

If you want to die even more, play any monster hunter game except world. World is a little easier and prettier

[@alfasilverblade]

Can he solo a G rank Plesioth in Freedom Unite.

[@somefrog9673]

Probably not but that would be fun to watch him rage

[@MiloKuroshiro]

It's the same as ask to him finish a MMO.

[@JezElectro13]

actualy it is 12th time in classic Series. And Bass is Canon as MM9 showed us

[@strain42]

You could play as Roll in Mega Man Powered Up for the PSP and she even had a bunch of Free DLC costumes to play dress up with her. It was honestly pretty great. I'm not a huge Mega Man fan, but I genuinely love that game.

jerard is the opposite of a gatekeeper. He is encouraging casuals and newbies alike to enjoy this game while warning more hardcore fans to be weary of this game will put you through.

[@variousrex746]

I've heard the "I was/am concerned about the animation style" from so many people and I can't see why! It might by my love of Dragon Quest and Windwaker has just made me love the cell shaded style, but this seemed, to me, to be the perfect direction for Mega Man to take artistically.

[@noircore]

Oh, snap, Erica Lindbeck gets a shout-out! :P Now Jirard is obligated to help her locate Mothman.

[@Thehunter4332]

A lot of these upgrades to Megaman 11 I remember having to some degree in the Megaman ZX and ZX advent series. I've always wondered why they never took the quick switch idea or the power adjustment systems into other games in the franchise. But 11 still looks like a great game!

[@HuntsmanLegacy]

The hardest challenge I think I've finished in a game is the Mirage Arena in Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep---but it MUST be the PSP version. The mode was designed to be played multiplayer, but the enemies didn't scale down if you play solo. Combine that with the not quite perfect PSP controls to limit your camera and dodging abilities, and it was a hell of a challenge to get rank 30 for all 3 characters on the hardest difficulty. Fortunately (or sadly, if you are into that kinda thing) on the PS3 and PS4 release of the game they scaled the difficulty way back since multiplayer was removed.

[@sanfransiscon]

Roll is such a cutie pie and I am surprised there was no way to play as her, especially after Mega Man 10 had Proto and Bass. Maybe she'll get her own game?

[@TheHallstead]

You may be interested in a fan game named Megaman: Rock N Roll. You get to play as Megaman or Roll, for the most part completely your choice of which. Additionally, there’s an 8-bit music library that can be downloaded as DLC.

[@_bhp]

Duuuude... 76 hours... Wow. I can hear the just beat down in your voice. Congrats on your completion! Major huge props!

[@arn_ice]

YES! For ages I've been wanting a game with Roll. Could even be set after MM dies (he IS doomed, we know through MMX). Her avenging her brother would be super badass, imo.

[@zextthenomad2916]

See, one of the things people keep asking for, is Zero to appear in Megaman, but the thing is, I think the moment zero appears, is the end of Megaman itself. Because the moment you introduce someone like Zero into the series, even after continuing past that, you'd have to introduce something to rival Zero, slowly burning into the Megaman X formula. While i'd love to see zero, I think we'll only get it if we know it's the last megaman game.

[@heyoyo10gaming4]

I think Proto, Bass, even Roll might become playable DLC! If that happens you will have to flip the table three times and no one will know because it would be in the position of flipping it once.

[@DjinntoTonic]

Jirard's hair looks pretty great tousled like that. If the beard got trimmed up to a more reasonable length, he'd be looking pretty good despite the lack of sleep. Also, MM11 looks great, the opening bits of the review really sold me on it.

[@DanielRodriguez-zj5il]

There is a free DLC which includes 8 instrumental music sets for each of the 8 main stages if you pre-ordered the game. They are quite great.

[@mikeehrmantraut1899]

Thank You for taking the time to talk about Mega man 11

[@baddragonite]

I hope we see an episode on Megaman ZX when the new collection comes out. Really fun short and sweet game to complete
