[Played in Legacy Collection]

At first, I was rushing through the stages and I was having a great time, at least till I arrive to the final part which has some interesting design and difficult choices.

Mega Man 2 is one of those games that has a free pass in gaming conversations about being classic, difficult and well designed, and is easy to see why is that, the controls are great and responsive and the music is nothing short of genius, the bosses are memorable and it has a lot of charm, although it also has some problems which it shares with a lot of games of that era. It can be quite unforgiven and unfair, with a lot of cheap deaths that punishes with far checkpoints and less weapon energy, in order to beat a game like this you have a lot of skill or at least a save state. It's hard to recommend a game like this but if you are willing to "cheat" a little and make some checkpoints here and there, you'll have a great and challenging time.

Although I believe is better than the first one in a lot of regards, I couldn't find a fight as memorable and good like the yellow devil, the pattern of some bosses seems very similar and can feel a little repetitive, but that is not to say that it doesn't have great moments, for instance, I loved the narrative of the final boss, it has a creepy and uncanny atmosphere that took me off guard. As for the one thing that I liked the most, it might be the music, it's energic and it fits perfectly with the ambient and the stages, maybe the boss theme can become a little repetitive but it's still great.

For a gaming enthusiast Mega Man 2 is a must If you want to go the extreme route and play it like it was meant to be, by all means, give it a shot, but also I think that if you're playing it in Legacy Collection and don't overuse its tools, you'll have a great experience nonetheless.

I didn't mind this game that much until I found out that it has some value and I was lucky enough to get a cheap copy of it.

My only "sim" experience before Tomodachi Life was Animal Crossing and I don't think they're that similar, so this review is for an amateur simulator player. The premise is simple, you create or download miis and have them in a building, they can interact with another miis if you're lucky, feed them, give them items and different apartment skins and that's pretty much it. Occasionally, they'll fall in love and in some cases, they get married, which I assume is the main goal of the game.

At first, it was fun, I enjoyed quite a bit making friends and relatives and give them personality traits and clothes that match them, but then when I was making my 40/100 mii I have a realization, that I was having more fun making miis than playing the game. There is certain charm to it, but it can be easily transformed into a chore, if I can wrap this game into a word it may be 'repetition', you'll be hearing or reading the same dialogues and interactions over and over, there are some "mini-games" or cutscenes (which come through dreams mainly) but they get old way too fast, the game updates its content once a day with new food, clothes, and apartment skins, but by one week of 30 minutes a day you'll find out that is basically a resume of what will be the game for the rest of your gameplay.

That said, I have some really good moments which I won't spoil and it has some charm to see people you know interact in a similar fashion like their real counterparts, although your fun is also dependant on how creative you can get with certain things, the game doesn't help you that much.

Maybe I'm missing something but from a mechanic and technical view this game falls short, it can be repetitive and boring way too fast and it relies a lot on padding with its daily mechanics, hard to recommend only if you're into rare game collecting.

Great game love the story the graphics are outstanding and I thought the game looked good on the Xbox 360 and ps3 but wow even after all these years the game is still going strong.i thought that the 3 main character thing wouldn't have worked out that good but they managed to do it I got to say though I still prefer playing one character over multiple but that's good for this game because that's what makes it stick out over other massive titles as well.i love and hate some of the gameplay in my opinion Rockstar games could have done way better with the shooting mechanics like it works but It's bland compared to other AAA game that they made in the past for instance gta4 to rdr1 and max Payne 3 those title had very rememberable shooting after everyone is done with gta 5 nobody is going to look back on this game and say oh wow the shooting was awesome compared to other titles Rockstar has made.now on to the driving for me it's a yes it's very enjoyable.then on to the cops I feel like Rockstar could have gone better they should have took after gta 4 for this one the cops are way to brutal they just start shooting at you I have read articles about other players being arrested in this game but out of the 4 times I've played through the story I've never once had a cop not try to kill me and to sort of go back to the driving and shooting it feels like the cops are way to overpowered when driving I was testing out different cars and trucks to see which one is the easiest way to overpower the cops and for some reason cops can overpower a semi and I thought wow that is very unrealistic and I absolutely hate how they will go Infront of your car and just break check the heck out of you and when you try to find a different direction to get out of it they know exactly what your next move is very annoying and they are very hard to escape the best spot that I still find to be the best way to lose the cops is underneath the train tracks by the barber shop in Franklin area that he first starts and back to the shooting it might be just me but it absolutely bothers me how good of shots the AI is it seems like they came out of the movie wanted because they are very good at curving bullet and seem to have eagle eyes because they can shoot you with a pistol or shotgun from a mile away.and to continue with the story mode I like how the 3 main characters each have their own unique special like Michael has the slow motion shooting Franklin has the slow motion driving and Trevor has the rage mode very cool and they each have their own specific clothes and walk style the only thing that drives me crazy is how they all have the same fighting style I find that to be annoying and the fighting isn't that good either like it's predecessor gta 4 one of the best games for hand to hand fighting today in my opinion. And another thing that I wish they would have done with the story was in previous gta games the main character Always got paid after doing every mission this drove me crazy in gta v it made it feel very unopen world for a while we had the freedom to drive and walk around the map but for doing stuff there was not alot to do like for instance Franklin starts out with like 300 dollars what can you get in gtav with that That's like buying ammo and your done and Michael isn't any better he only starts out with I think 9800 dollars it just made the game feel really dead until your able to do the jewelry heist mission then it take you to Trevor why did we have to progress that much in the story just to unlock the tattoo shop?it's a very impressive story but a very boring world there is some activities such as golf tennis drinking and movie theater that only plays 2 boring movies like the first 2 times is like ok that was cool and then after that you really don't ever want to watch those again the one thing I was really hoping Rockstar would have done with the game was add some dlcs to it like extra missions and cars or clothes and please add more songs to the radio.And for the moment everyone likes to hear about is the online when it first came out it was a nightmare a bland world with absolutely nothing to do then later on Rockstar added some activities like parachuting and a couple of races wich at that time was the best way to make money was racing and still is today if your good at it I love and hate online today for this game I like the cars the clothes the tattoos the businesses the driving but the players do tend to keep me away most days now it was good when everyone was out to help everyone because they wanted to make money as well but then one day Rockstar decided to create a little thing call shark cards and then they outrageously increased the economy in the game now things started becoming more expensive and online missions and activities were starting not to hand out alot of money everything became and still is a grind then players decided to steal mom and dad's credit card and buy up all the shark card they could get and then now their bored and don't want to do the work and grind anymore so those players decided to start flying around on bikes and jets and helicopters and blow everything up all the time and make harder and unenjoyable for others who are and were still can't afford to buy shark cards there are private sessions but the thing that sucks is you can't do business missions without being in a public session so it made it very useless to have those in the game and if your going to keep the game going strong the least Rockstar could do is keep updating the radio stations and fix their servers and loading times and hopefully in next upcoming titles will add sessions for players who want to blowup and shoot each other all day and for players who want to make money and for players who can do all of that with specific friend in a private public session lobby great game with horrible online thank you for reading and I hope that this post is helpful for those who have not or have played this game.

Hunt: Showdown is very unique and when everything is going right it’s absolutely amazing. The tough part is that it is hard to get everything to go right. The atmosphere and vibe to this game is incredible. You’re a bounty hunter in 1890s Louisiana with monsters and other bounty hunters all duking it out. That’s a great set up. It’s a game where guns are slow to fire and you need to make the shots count. One of the interesting things this game does is the “sound traps”. This game put a huge emphasis on sound. It’s impossible to play without a headset. You hear the enemy gunshots which give you a sense of their location and you also listen for enemies accidentally running over broken glass, splashing in water, running by crows or chickens or dogs or a half killed horse which all make noise and a keen hunter uses that to their advantage. You need to be aware of your surroundings to win. And it’s hard to win.

There are plenty of guns and perks and equipment in this game. There are only two maps but the environment is very well done so I don’t feel like it needs another map at the moment. The main flaw to this game is the lack of enemy variety. There are only about 5 fancy roaming enemies and only 3 boss enemies. All the enemies are good but the variety is lacking.

The feeling you get when you kill a couple bounty hunters and make off with the bounty is special. I’ve barely done it because it’s hard to do but when it happens you remember what makes this game so good. It is also worth mentioning I only played this game solo. So I was very often competing against squads of 2 or 3 which makes it all that much more challenging. This is the type of game that having a squad you are communicating with is a huge help but I was able to kill of entire squads on occasion so it is not impossible if you play solo, just an added challenge.

Final Score: A-
