According to other reviews here people seem to believe this is a bad port but it was my first time fully playing through Mega Man 1-3 and I didn't really notice anything that I didn't remember being just as bad in the NES versions but I could be wrong

Actually finishing these games is a bit weird because I went a really long time thinking these games were all like this horribly unforgiving experience but honestly, they're really not all that hard at all if you just know what to do. Especially once you get access to E-Tanks the checkpoints are honestly much more forgiving than most NES era games :v

Most of the frustration comes with just certain particular game design choices rather than the actual difficulty of the game. Though, you can see that the criticism was taken by the developers as these games released because in these first three games alone it is certainly noticeable how certain problems from the first game are fixed in the second, then problems still in the second fixed in the third. Things like only being able to carry 4 E-Tanks in Mega Man 2 for example, just seems kind of counter-intuitive if the point is that you're supposed to save them.

Overall not bad though or anything I liked them and I think I understand why people seem to consider 2 one of the best of the three. It is definitely the most memorable I'd say. Even though there are some things in 3 that make it less frustrating it's also a bit more boring.

Definitely a step in the right direction but there really isn't much substance. I'll re-rank it when the full DLC comes out but for now I'm leaving it a 6/10, enjoyed my time with it for the most part but it's definitely far from perfect or even great imo

Totally falls apart near the end, but I'm hearing they might even be planning to completely revamp the final boss? This definitely won't be my final ranking of the game, expect a new one when all the updates are out.

I actually completed the Pokedex for this recent playthrough (including Mew and Missingno) as well as messed around with importing some mons to Pokemon Stadium, pretty neat stuff even if it's a bit of a hassle to do via emulation Id love to one day be able to do it all with real hardware one day

The novelty of gen 1 for stuff like this still stands, there's not much quite like it, even though outside of doing it for said novelty playing gen 1 nowadays is arguably pretty redundant considering the abundance of arguably much better ways to experience Kanto be it rom hacks or official releases. Hell you can play the 3DS virtual console version and even be able to transfer to Pokemon Bank/Home from there, I'll probably get around to that too someday but for now I was content with this emulation playthrough

shameless rip off of a collection

Pasted from Steam

In its current state I cannot recommend purchasing Sonic Origins. Sega has a lot to fix about this, and until then I am keeping my review marked as "not recommended."

I considered writing more here (and even did begin to) but in the end I decided to scrap it, because the flaws of this collection have already been heavily documented at this point by others to the point where it would really just be a waste of my time, so I won't beat around the bush. I'm just putting this out here so that I can aid in getting the word out about this, because I truly do believe Sega can and should do better.

One of the only reasons I even purchased this to begin with was because I knew the legends at Evening Star and Headcannon were involved, and to hear straight from a developer that Sega mishandled their work for the project is very disappointing. Until this is at the very least addressed, I will not be able to recommend this product to anyone.

short but sweet, not much to say about it
stands out for being a weirder entry compared to other mario games

(Played with some improvement hacks.)

Will maybe finish the e-Reader levels eventually. They seem alright. But for now I just wanted to actually finish Mario 3. And ehh it's still so overrated imo like it's fine it might still be something I come back to occasionally but I still really don't think the series gets particularly great until Super Mario World. I can honestly respect Mario 1 more still I think

Again definitely not bad. Just a case of something feeling overrated and it leaving a bit of an extra sour taste in your mouth. I think 6/10 is fair.

i want to leave a really long review but i keep scratching it i really don't know how to word what i want to say

this game is not homophobic or transphobic kanji is still a bisexual king yosuke is just projecting and naoto is still a based unlabeled genderqueer god just the game is from before enough people would really know what that meant so i think it gets a pass.

considering the time i actually think kanji is some of my favorite lgbt rep still and people just heavily misinterpret him. naoto somewhat similarly. the games could definitely do more and itd be cope to pretend they'd actually do it better if the game got a remake. but i think i can accept them as maybe at their cores just being a little ahead of their time.

when it comes to yosuke i joke that he's projecting when he makes homophobic gestures to kanji but like really. i just think he has it worst in terms of the like, character assassination he gets at points in this game. he's supposed to be a great guy at heart and just all talk but the game really throws this away in favor of letting him be a bit of even just a pervert at times and it sucks.

the game does this a lot with a lot of the characters though. teddie sometimes comes off more like a middle aged creep and it sucks because he's supposed to just be this young, innocent, whimsical soul. when this game wants to be weird and fanservicey it throws character development out the window and it really really sucks, cuz it even puts you as the player sometimes into scenarios where you have to say or do shit you wouldn't want to do so it's some pretty bad illusion of choice sometimes

i definitely have a history with persona 4. there's so much about the characters and setting and everything that still clicks with me so much and i adore it. but regardless it has problems. the gameplay gets repetitive and sometimes it doesn't balance the visual novel by day jrpg by night gameplay well enough to keep you engaged.

so there is undeniably still a lot of parts that are incredibly uncomfortable. but to be honest, these are things that are also just sort of unfortunately a given with the persona series. i wish it could be better, but until atlus miraculously decides to make a change these games will unfortunately always be plagued with this stuff :/
