So where to begin with this, I love this game as much as the original and I had a lot of fun with it. To visit this world and it's wonderful characters once again was a joy
That being said, some aspects were better in MML1, while some are better here...controls are improved for the better, tho it didn't make much difference to me cuz I used a KBM setup and still used that turn around style of the first game since it was more comfy on a keyboard....also not playing on a controller def made the game more comfortable and fun for me this time whew. Auto aim is ass tho but it's kinda unreliable to play without it...it definitely was an ass through the whole game lol.
First of all, I really don't like the darker more serious tone and them trying to introduce all this deeper lore...it's not unwelcome, as the first game ended on a note like this, teasing more to come...but I just prefer the brighter saturday morning cartoon vibe of the first game. All those cozy scenes that took inside Bonnes' ship come to mind...also anyone else find it weird that Bon (BABUU) doesn't even make a physical appearance until midway through the game?
Voice acting, like with the first game is phenomenal. It never fails to make me smile. I say they did a pretty good job with it.
I have seen some examples on why it might not be that accurate though...maybe one day someone will port over the PS1 Dubs to the PSP ports but also make retranslation of the subs since that version has those? Don't get me wrong, I love the dub and it's translation is pretty good...it's no Dreamcast to 06 era of Sonic translations/dubs, that's for sure...
I decked out Mega Man pretty good this time around, I guess experience of the first game and knowing what to expect paid off. Final Boss killed me like 3 times but going back and maxing the Missile's Rapid Fire and Attack helped me out big time, growing my energy canteen and using it sparringly (ever time health went about half, less than half down so it doesnt consume much) helped big time...also using those quiz items, tho I only ended up using one in the last attempt.
All the dungeons I played are pretty good. I hated how stunlocky the game was but thankfully you can get rid of it with a better helmet (still shitty it's a thing in the first place though). I played on Normal and B license though, I didnt go through those extra digs on higher licenses cuz frankly I really don't wanna make this game harder for me lmao.
Ending wasn't as bad as say...Half-Life 2 Episode 2 but yeahhhh cliffhanger...24 years now...pretty damn dissatisfying.
I also fully repaired the Flutter, got all the gifts for it and for Roll, (which means the bathroom scene, making Volnutt see 2 girls naked through this playthrough hehe)
What else...oh yeah fuck Nino dungeon and it's shitty ass underwater slowdowns.
An ideal MML would be the tone of the first game with the gameplay style of this...maybe someday someone will mod the gameplay of MML1 to be like that if not better?
Either way that's that...but luckily I don't have to end the series on this note cuz I haven't played Misadventures of Tron Bonne yet, best girl for the last! Tho definitely not soon lol
Hmm what else...I made sure to not play with any Widescreen hacks this time, so no 2D screens stretched and no weird popins.
IGT was 15 Hours 51 Minutes and 29 Seconds but Emulator time 22 Hours 6 Minutes 33 Seconds...definitely some idle time there hehe
Good game, lost some interest in the ancient lore and stuff (tho I love their designs) and shoutouts to that blue hair killer leather red dress girl in Yosyonke near the grave, she a baddie
