who cares

It was hard at first, and it is somewhat harder than the typical NES Mega Man games, but I think that is more due to the way games are developed these days.

NES games relied on learning patterns and trying sections over and over. Mega Man 9 went back to that.

Games today don't punish you nearly as much. Oh, you died? Good thing you walked past that Vita Chamber on your way to wrench-fucking that Big Daddy.

In any case, after playing through the levels a few times, I found Mega Man 9 to be fairly simple. It just takes time to learn the patterns and jumps.

One problem that I've noticed is when you are pounced/charged/jockeyed. There always seems to be a bit of lag.

For example, a hunter pounces at me. I melee in an attempt to deadstop. But I have to guess at the timing because the hunter goes from being crouched on the ground to being on top of me instantly. There's no middle ground.

The worst is with the jockey. I see him running at me. Before I even see him jump, he's on top of me. There's rarely even an opportunity to deadstop the jockey.

Basically, I'm tired of this "lag" forcing me to guess on the timing of deadstops.

Note that I'm talking about single player/local server, so I don't think it's internet lag.

I may be mistaken, but I was under the impression that changing the charger's hitboxes refers to how bullets/melee weapons hit the charger, not how the charger hits other stuff.

Qix is a fun game, but $10? That's 2/3 the price of Shadow Complex.

Multiply 0.03 inches times the number of cases produced each year (hundreds of millions?) and it starts to add up real quick.

Not quite the fail you think it is:
