Sequelitis - Mega Man Classic vs. Mega Man X

Mega Man was a game that was so simple and yet so ahead of its time. It defined an entire genre and continues to be considered one of the best titles in video gaming history. But, does its spin-off sequel, Mega Man X fair so well?

@STRONG BIG It's not that he lacks the confidence to continue this series or that he doesn't know it was important, he just doesn't want to make this type of content anymore. It doesn't interest him. And there's nothing wrong with that. If it doesn't fulfill him and if his artistic expression doesn't bring him to make these types of videos, then he shouldn't make them.

[@matiasr6509]

@@ladisgust I see what you mean. Like why would I want to watch a video he half assed just to appease the masses? If there's no passion put in a creation it's no longer a work of art. Its a cash grab and it doesn't really appease anybody

[@gayflower900]

To recap: Megaman X is the best game ever because 1. The intro stage 2. Movement 3. Nggffffffffffff

[@aquano1972]

Well I mean just from watching the video he listed: 1. Graphical improvement from NES Mega Man to the pixel art in Mega Man X 2. Very smart mechanical communication (in movement, attacking, enemies, platforming, optional collectibles, etc) 3. Intro Stage does a fantastic job in laying the structure for the entire game 4. Motivation (mainly mechanically, unless you *really* care about the narrative, all the power to you) very early on to progress and master the game 5. Great Level design in general And so on. I’m pretty sure he meant to only share about conveying to the player what the game is, it’s mechanics, and why you should keep playing, all while not forcing it. Plus, this was partially satirical, not entirely informative; he made a funny video that also talks about his favorite game. Rock hard dicks

[@stephsaguudefan1753]

The best example to describe how Arin plays games is a puzzle game he did where you had to do the opposite of the rules. The rule said "be careful" inna room full of vases which obviously meant you needed to break the vases. Arin immediately broke them all and then went "I wonder what that rule meant." It's like his subconscious picks up on good game design even when he doesn't realize it.

[@xeagaort]

thats really not obvious at all lmao. Its video gamer instinct to break all the vases and boxes in a game when you see them.

Dear Sequelitis, It's been 4 years, but not a day goes by that I don't think about you.

My pipe dream of a hope is that, someday somehow, you'll find your way back to me and we can be happy again, even if only for a moment. But whatever happens, I'll treasure the moments we've had as we both go forward to something better. Love, a faithful Sequelitisisese

Modern games should have an "I've played video games before" option that skips the stupid intro part that tells you that you need to push A to jump or some shit.

[@DannyAran117]

Developers feel the need to include a tutorial because they think they might have added an element to their game that's alien to usual game mechanics. Having the option to skip tutorials would be nice to get right into the game, but wouldn't it be annoying to be hindered in a game because there was something you didn't know from the developer's tutorial?

[@Shaymin00000]

Well yeah, for that, a tutorial would be pretty useful, but for people that have played the game and understand the mechanic, it could still be nice. Games that don't add any mechanics like that and _still_ give a dumb tutorial really don't have much of an excuse, though.

You'd think, but it's really just a persona, which is the real reason why it's so grating. You think you're irritated because "he doesn't get it and should" but deep down, it's really because "you *know* he gets it and is feigning stupidity since he thinks that's what gets him views"

[@dandyspacedandy]

​@@InfernosReaper it absolutely doesn't. its not even that popular of a topic surrounding game grumps, people watch them because of the presence theyve built over the years in making lets plays. the real thing that probably attracts new audiences is all the fan animations honestly. I guess in that regard, arin and dan having bombastic reactions can feed into those being made, but they can already have plenty of that by just... reacting to the games they're playing. annoying people by being obtuse and ignoring telegraphing _every time he plays a game_ only sounds like a way to get people to click off if anything. At best it makes people like me want to talk about game grumps if only for a moment, but thats not how you retain viewers, and thats not how you inspire fan artists. the only conclusion that leads me to draw is either that arin is as dense as he acts on camera when playing games by himself, or he just doesn't care anymore.

[@InfernosReaper]

@@dandyspacedandy I mean, here, we have clear proof that he's *not* that dense, unless some incident happened that caused him to have brain damage that no one on the channel ever mentioned. Otherwise, the only conclusion is that he started acting over the top for moments that could be memed and to try to bounce off his counterpart, but gradually flanderized that persona into the realm of overly obnoxious. What keeps people coming is the fact that he's not the only one on the channel and the Grumps doing videos on things people actually want to see. That aside, when was the last time they had something on the level of Racist Bassist or Sad Hoshi?

Replace the word "week" in my comment with whatever time period it takes. These videos rock.

[@Greenleaf_]

Trevor J He makes more money, with less time and effort with Game Grumps was my point, so that's why he prefers to do that.

[@TheWackyDiscord]

GreenleafFPS I wouldn't say he "prefers" any series. I'm sure he'd love to make more Sequelitis but with Grumps and Polaris time-consuming stuff like this takes longer as he had more on his plate.

[@Greenleaf_]

TheWackyDiscord Well he obviously prefers to do game grumps over sequelitis based on the amount of releases.

The fact that I still come back to this video shows how well it’s held up

[@nickpels5772]

I know it's highly unlikely that anyone will read this, but I'm applying to colleges right now for game design. I've never seen sequelitis before, and I have seen these games, but this video completely changed the way I view game design, just after watching it once. Because of this, I see how much effort goes into just effectively planning a game, and I just wanted to say thank you.

[@floralspr1te]

yep

[@CruelestChris]

Well so can Maverick Hunter X being as it basically removes everything he praised about X. For example, you actually have to defeat Vile at the start and then he cheap-shots you in a cutscene, which means your quest is to become strong enough to defeat someone you could beat up already.

Hi from 13 years later...

[@WyreWizard]

There is one thing you forgot to mention. When you attack the Mavericks with the weapon that they are weakest against, it does more than damage them more, it also fucks up their attack patterns. Like when you hit Spark Mandrill with the shotgun ice. It freezes him and he has to break out.

[@timberwolfmerlot]

Current Arin should really learn from past Arin.

[@MuffinMythos]

Brandon Ross DAGardevoir Ikr???

[@OHG_Fawx]

Especially about Hammer Joes. Watch him and Dan play MM3 on Game Grumps. On Shadow Man's "revisited" stage Arin proceeds to get his skull caved in repeatedly by a Hammer Joe because the ceiling is too low to jump over the hammers and he never realizes the game wants him to slide under them while returning fire. He burns all his Magnet Missiles instead, and once those run out, he's back to eating hammers again haha

[@randomlytrash]

Current Arin is a terrible sequel, new entries should take inspiration from Past Arin.
