Why does everyone hate MM5?

[Emmanuelf06]

A lot of guys who hate mm5 are the arrogants who want absolutly a hard megaman game.

MM5 is the easiest Megaman game (for me), and it's maybe the reason, this game is not liked.

I know a guy on youtube who do speedrun (boss or stages) on the megaman classic games, and he hates mm5, because "no skill".

For me mm5 is a very beautifull game, the ambiance is the most important for me in a game.
MM5 and the musics are wonderfuuuuuull !!!!

Gravityman, sad music but beautifull
Gyroman, Happy very good music
Stoneman, Very fun music...
And others.

MM5 is underrated just because it is too easy i think. But its one of my favorite!

And the robotmasters of mm5 have a fun design!

Now lets ask people why they hate MM8.

...I have no idea. Personally, I love the game. (I'm not kidding. Yeah, the voice acting is horrible, but Dr. Light's Elmer Fudd impersination is priceless.)

Child molesters for robot masters is not good for them youngsters.

Implying voice acting IS the game. Honestly, besides Rose, the only complaints I ever hear about this game is "the voice acting sucks".

[MagnetMan497]

Not only the voice acting. He pulls HIS HANDS FROM UNDERGROUND, fondles Megaman and throws him about.

[Magnet Dood]

So... Mega Man 5, anyone?

You guys get off topic way too easily. >_<

[Kapus]

We already discussed MM5 for 6 pages or so already. I think everybody has said all they had to say.

[Magnet Dood]

I'm just saying, this is a topic on Mega Man5, not 8.

By the way, I think Grenade Man's voice is hilarious.

[Kapus]

Yes, but instead of making multiple topics to discuss each game, I think it's better to use this topic to discuss the less popular games in general.

[Emmanuelf06]

Megaman8 was cute but i didnt like really the musics, except intro and frostman, and Aquaman , maybe......

But the game is not bad at all. (Frostman theme <3

[Magnet Dood]

Eh, well, can't argue with you there...

I just want to say something on the Power Stone, though. The Power Stone is NOT useless. You're not supposed to use it right next to a person. It helps A LOT when getting far away enemies. Basically, it's like Top Spin. You have to be good with it to use it effiecently.

[Kapus]

I know Power Stone isn't useless. It's good to use when you are surrounded by flying enemies (especially lyrics), but it gets outclassed by Gravity Hold. Doesn't help that I always take on Gravity Man first.

Then again, I always make sure I use every weapon in the game equally!

Yeah, I think Power Stone is a bit underrated.  I still think it's bad, but not "OMG HORRIBLE" bad.

As for MM8, here's why I think it sucked.

1.  Voice Acting:  Although not as bad as MMX4, it was annoying.  But, as mentioned, voice acting =/= game.  However, you can still hold it against the game.
2.  Music:  I honestly can't hum a single song in the whole game and I've actually played it slightly more than most other games in the series.  Actually, I can hum Frost Man's, but that's only because I hear it a lot in Sick Sad World's stage.
3.  Weapons:  While I commend them for having the idea to force you to use weapons in the later stages, the weapon set itself isn't too spectacular (Water Balloon, Mega Ball anyone?)
4.  Gameplay:  Everything seems soooooo ssssssssssslllllllllllloooooooowwwww (and don't say "but the snowboard", one part =/= the whole game).  Mega Man runs slower than my Grandma with a broken hip, the bullets move slow, everything just seems to move at a leisurely pace and the music reflects that.  The level design just seems kind of there to me:  nothing terrible yet nothing good.  Swimming is awkward.  The stages are too long to the point where they long outstay their welcome.  I say it should have had two castles/a longer castle as opposed to long master stages.  At first, I thought it was a good idea to have longer master stages, but the slow pace of the game is just amplified by long levels.
5.  Robot Masters:  Clown Man is just weird, Search Man has both a dumb name and dumb design, and Tengu Man is the "we're totally out of ideas" master.

PS - Since Kapus posted before me, I must say that I too take Gravity Man down first.  I saw a bunch of sites a while back say take him on last since he's the hardest.  Considering the fact that he was the only robot master I could even get to let alone beat as a kid, I call BS on that one.

I personally love Megaman 8, maybe it's just me. Clownman is AWESOME; compared to other voice actors like SEARCH MAN or HANDSOME GUY, he's pretty good. The only complaints that I've ever heard of is the voice acting is terrible and CLOWNMAN ES SOO GGAY HE WANTS TO RAP U!1 That really get's on my nerve's; Capcom obviously didn't purposely but a RAPIST in a child's game D:

[Jafar]

Is Tengu Man really any worse than Centaur Man?
