    A Mega Man game that doesn't look like a Mega Man game?! That's right, it's a 3D game that deviated away from the classic jump and shoot man platformer. This run-and-gun RPG playstyle works for this often overlooked entry in the franchise. Does this game hold up even through it deviated from the norms of a Mega Man game? Let's find out in my Mega Man Legends review.

      The collections serve to measure interest (from what I heard, that's the reason we got Mega Man 11). As such, once a collection does drop for Legends, interested parties should all buy it to show we want a new game. Right now though, I'm waiting for the Battle Network/Star Force collection.

    I was one of the few players who noticed how radically different Legends was at the time yet also enjoyed it for its own merits anyway. For starters, the characters are full of expression and voiced reasonably well. None of that "Bass, why are we fighting?" or "WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR!?" nonsense. Jagged polygons aside, the game looks remarkably like an anime, and manages to translate the character designs into low-poly models remarkably well thanks to the textured expressions. A lot of games of the time had low poly counts that stick out like a sore thumb nowadays, but for Legends, it was more like looking at high-quality character models through a jagged pixel filter.
    And dear lord, did Legends have a sense of wonder and discovery. Every time I found a new item in some corner of a ruin, I couldn't wait to bring it back to Roll and see what she'd turn it into. A new weapon? A buster part? Something completely mind-blowing? That little convention alone excited me in a way no other game at the time possibly could. Legends wasn't just Mega Man mixed with Metroid or Zelda; it was its own beast, offering its own exciting discoveries.
    Sure, Legends didn't have the classic "eight bosses on a stage select screen" or "four Light Capsules that give you cool armor upgrades", heck it didn't even have anyone as cool as Proto Man or Zero, _but it didn't need to._ It had its own atmosphere, its own personality, its own hooks, its own charm. Legends was as revolutionary as the original Mega Man - there was nothing else like it. And there hasn't been much like it since. Mega Man Legends deserves more than just a Legacy Collection - it deserves a _remake,_ ideally alongside its sequel and spinoff. Take the original Legends setting, add an HD coat of paint, maybe tweak the gameplay a little, and you have a classic waiting to be reborn.
    That all said, yes, definitely play Legends 2. As someone who completed that game, I highly recommend it.

      Mega Man Legends is such an incredible and important game. It's so under appreciated in gaming history. Most people don't ever mention that this game came out a full 11 months before Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time would hit N64 giving us one of the best 2d to 3d transitions a company mascot had ever made in that era. Not to mention; it's contribution to the progression of the celshaded graphics we'd see in later games like Jet Set Radio, and XIII. These games are TREASURES. If you like Action-RPGs, Dungeons, Anime, and Megaman you will love these. Play and or own all of them. AT ANY COST. Buy it on PS3 for $5.99 buy, buy it on ebay, emulate it on your cell phone. Do whatever you need to do to play these games. They're totally worth it.

    When I was a small child, my dad would do the dog/ball minigame for 8 straight hours to make me zenny while I was going to school. It's one of those small things I remember him doing for me, a silly but special memory. I would come home from school and look forward to upgrading something to make the game more fun, I was probably 7 or 8 years old at the time. This was my favorite game and megaman was always something we did together going all the way back to the original NES games. This video put a huge smile on my face. Thank you.

    This game is one of my all time favorites. The voice acting, for the time and even for the present, is amazing. That, combined with the plot and the gameplay makes you feel like you’ve jumped into a Saturday morning cartoon.
    I’ve been hoping for a rereleased bundle, like the other Megaman games have been getting, and if that does happen, the only thing I’d change about Legends is the controls. Modify them to work more like the second game, since the original didn’t have analog support and it makes it so much clunkier to play by today’s standards.
    If you have a PS3, PSP, or a Vita, this is a must play game, along with the other two in the series. They’re much cheaper digitally than buying a physical disc, at least.
    Or you can emulate. I won’t judge. It’s how I played them for the longest time after I lost my original copy, and before I got a PS3. I think the first game also had a PC release, but who knows how well that works on modern computers?

    • @syrelian

      From what I've heard, the PC release didn't exactly run flawlessly on its target platforms, modern computers is... a bit of a crapshoot, while I agree analog movement is a must for a rerelease... I'll be honest and say I kinda prefer how Legends 1 feels in terms of just... movement, the controls feel a bit tighter, and the map design is definitely tighter... but that also partially ties into just not being as enthralled with Legends 2's globe trotter thing, its not as tight and cozy a world or story, Kattleox Island is super interconnected and that feels Really Good

    Awesome! My favorite game gets an updated review; hope to see you give 2 and MoTB a run someday!
    Edit: 7:12 was that a reference to my favorite nameless npc in the game? There’s a gal in the city hall area who locked herself out on her balcony and over the course of the game goes from having a fear of heights to developing a passion for climbing after she got herself down, and the last you see of her she’s on her house’s roof and assures you she’s not stuck this time. I love that the generic npcs had little personal plot lines like that.
    Edit 2: to save your sanity a bit when you grind in legends 2: one early optional dungeon has one of three sets of enemies- if there’s a fake chest near the start, then you can find a giant gold enemy deeper in that drops a ton of zenny and respawns when you enter/exit the room. Do this before trying to upgrade your license to make it as fast to kill as possible.

I remember loving the game, so was a lil nervous it would purely be nostalgic enjoyment, but the story and flow of the game makes me curious to explore the world. Like, the first time goin through old town and getting attacked by, and kicking dogs. Dude, pretty dark lmao. Especially in contrast to the rest of the game LOL that area is a serious vibe. Im excited to keep playing. Did not expect to see a totally current Mega Man Legends video lol, thank you!

  • @davidthorp01
    @davidthorp01 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I remembered that last review of Mega man legends. I do remember being distinctly against the play it vote; finishing it is the best way to get that full experience, but I understood how difficult a full completion run would be. Only the Active buster is arguably the most grindy part of the game, but there are tons of fun ways to get the Zeni for it, fun fact the better you get at farming via beast hunt the faster the earning curve can be for it. This said, the end dungeons do pay out more for the higher risks involved.
    Also, everyone sleeping on Tiesel Bonne, when his laugh is iconic.
    Also, if you play MML2 be prepared for similar grinding, which isn’t bad (you have more places to do it and different ways to play…less chances for mini games however). But this story, from Legends 1? It turns into one of the most awesome (and heart wrenching) stories I’ve gotten to enjoy from PS1 era gaming. And from a rated E-10+ game? From that era that’s astounding. To me (as I am highly biased) this is one of the most underrated versions of Mega man out there. I highly recommend Legends 2, you will understand why everyone in this corner of the gaming community was devastated by not getting Legends 3. 2 earns its place as a collectors item.
    This said, don’t be surprised if a ‘playable’ copy puts you out 80 bucks. As a collector game, its value is _extremely high._ I envy the guys who got the pristine copies and have held onto them. Unopened copies run in the 150 range, and as a set? Easily 500 bucks overall. So buyer beware, it’s gonna be hard to get a copy unless you can get a good emulator running.

It's a really fun game and I wish more people could've gotten to experience it as well. As for Legends 2, we also had a copy of it (and I might still have it somewhere, unless my brother took it with him) but I vaguely remember anything about it when I tried it. Having seen this review and ProJared's full LP though, it did reveal about how cool this game really was, and makes me feel bad I never got into it enough to keep trying when I was younger.

    Glad to see you giving Legends 1 a revisit and singing its praises! It’s still a very good game despite its age (which kind of fits with the theme of the game when you think about it). Seeing this amount of enthusiasm is always refreshing, and hopefully your review of the game will be enough to nudge people into giving Legends 1 the shot it deserves.
    You should absolutely give Legends 2 a playthrough, even if you don’t complete it (but I would watch it if you did)! If you liked Legends 1 at all, you’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t at least check out the wild ride that is its sequel. Completing the game is a bit of a slog due to the inevitable grinding required to max everything out on its multiple difficulties, but the game is larger in scope than Legends 1 so there’s a bit more to dig into (or at least it feels that way). The completion process is definitely more involved than in Legends 1 even without the grinding, and there are some novel challenges to tackle over the course of the game that are difficult in non traditional ways. A run of it would 100% be worth watching!

    This is what made Megaman my childhood hero.

    After revisiting it though, yeah, the controls could definitely have been a whole lot less stiff, but I still have fond memories and enjoy the game quite much. I really liked the darker tone that MML2 picked up, and I definitely did find the game way scarier too.

Never got very far, hell I've only gotten up to the save city hall mission, but my god this is one of the most charming and genuinely nice experiences I've had playing a game. Everything from the dated 3D movement, the sound design, the facial animations that look stunning for the time the game was made in and even the voice acting which still has the same charming late 90s delivery as other dubs at the time. I didn't play it for long, but in the short time I did play it I had a smile on my face the entire time and I'll hopefully one day pick it back up and complete it.
