PLEASE TONE DOWN THE ****ING BOSSES!

[Coinkydink]

THIS IS EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING! (after level 7)

IF I WANTED MEGAMAN-STYLE CHEAP DIFFICULTY I 'D PLAY MEGAMAN!!!!

Negative review from me, sorry... The game was sweet and I wanted to finish it, but trying a repetitive boss fight for dozens of times is not my idea of fun... I'm sorry I payed for another retro platformer that tries too hard to be hard, when I could have easily pirated it.

I've had enough of games that refuse to be beaten by employing cheap difficulty spikes. I suggest the developer takes a good look at what made Donkey Cong Country Returns such an awesome game. Hint: it wasn't the cheap bosses that take forever to beat.

:(

Sounds like you just suck. The bosses aren't cheap, they have predictable patterns that can be figured out and exploited. Its about being able to recognize those patterns. You can't just brute-force your way through.

Go back to your basement, mom will bring some pizza and ginger ale down for you.

Now it REALLY sounds like you suck.

First of all theres a reason why theres Easy and Casual Mode, and if you still die, then you shouldn't be playing action platformers at all.

Secondly theres no reason to insult people because they disprove your point, especially using stereotype, how would you feel if I call you a 12 year-old CoD Fanboy, which I'm not i'm simply prooving my point.

[Gnidex]

There is an easy difficulty for you.
And if that's STILL too hard, there's casual mode, where it's harder to die than to not die.

[ZylpheRenuis]

Well....I guess you wanted attention....Now you got it. Tell me. How does it feel when you are playing on Normal for your first time? Did you rush in and attack or did you try to avoid the attacks first and plan your attack? Honestly I would really like to know what you done in game to make you frustrated.

...but megaman bosses aren't cheap (either)

you look at them for 5 seconds, figure out their pattern, then one shot them with X weapon lol

Later down the line though some of the patterns in the games do get complicated and unique to a point that you may lose a couple of lifes down the line before you get the boss dead.

Take it to heart of that. Trial and error. If you lose. Rethink your strategy and approach the boss with renowned motivation. If you get frustrated take to what earlier people said about the difficulty. The REASON the bosses are tough is that they are at first fighting them, unpredictable. You need to know the bosses and their move set before tango with them to bloody combat.

wow...
Isn't it easy enough to say "this game isn't for me" and move on?

[Dynamo Doggy]

Finally killing a boss after 30 minutes of trying was THE most satisfying thing ever, honestly. I played on hard mode right from the start because I was worried the game was going to be too easy, but oohhh boy! The bosses did get really hard towards the end, but the fights were fun so I didn't really care.

Bosses are cheap? They're not cheap. They're hard, but beatable. Despite kinda sucking at action/platformers, I managed to beat game on Normal with less, than 20 deaths as Lilac. And you know what's funny? I died on Mega Serpentine and Lord Brevon only 2-3 times each (sadly, I stupidly died on Mutant Milla). So, that proofs is that, you can find good strategy to defeat them. And if someone is keep dying or someone isn't good at this type of games, you can always switch to easier difficulty.

I'm not very good at these games. I died 125 times on Normal (although some were deliberate because I had lost too much health to be worth continuing). I still had a blast. I know that bigger numbers are always better anyway, so I'm aiming for 500 on Hard

Who wants to follow a warlord with no combat skills anyway?

[Tsuanli]

Try casual difficulty.

1) Dude, if you think the bosses are too hard on Normal NOW, you should have seen them BEFORE the nerf. Now, it's actually possible to read the patterns of the later bosses. Before, it was too fast.

2) Megaman bosses aren't cheap. You just have to learn their patterns, figure out where NOT to be in order to avoid being hit, and then figure out where you SHOULD be in order to counterattack and harm them.

3) Funny you should mention DK returns. I got it for 3DS (thanks club nintendo reward!) just before getting freedom planet and..Honestly, l'm having trouble going back to DK. The whole game (DKCR) relies on perfect reflexes and punishes you for it VERY harshly, and the boses rely on figuring out the ONE moment when you can actually attack safely. And unlike freedom planet, you can only take 2 hits (or 4 if you have diddy on your back, but if you lose diddy, the game gets a million times more hard since you can no longer hover, which I find so massively essential).

Even though I got my ass kicked about...hang on...*checks* 77 times on Normal in Freedom planet (BEFORE the boss nerfs), I still had much more fun with it than I've been having with DK returns. Well, mostly because I feel the level design is lot omre fun in Freedom planet.

And this is coming from someone who SUUUUCKS at Megaman Zero. When I was playing the DS collection, I had to play it on easy mode to even stand a chance.

3) If you're having too much trouble with the game, play easy mode! It's in the options for a reason! There is legit no shame in downgrading the difficulty if the game is too hard for you. That's what it's THERE for!

Try Casual Difficulty. It trivializes the game to the point where nothing is a challenge anymore.

Also, if speedrunners can currently clear the game in sub-54 minute times without dying, then this game is not too hard.

Didn't you hear? Apparently if we can beat the game, we're living in our mom's basement, being served pizza and ginger ale! :o
