You had DAMN WELL BETTER be equipped with MegaMan Legends 2, is all I can say.

...does that mean it was good or bad in terms of story?

...lawl, Megaman and story.

Sensei, forgive the speedy bastard, for he knows not what he does...

In more than a few ways, including story and voice acting, the Legends series in general and Legends 2 especially, defy *ALL* expectations of a MegaMan game, and manage to kick all kinds of ass while doing so. They are in no way comparable to the other series, I assure you. You'd be wise to play them before commenting further, because beyond having a blue guy with an arm cannon, "MegaMan in general" trends simply do not apply.

Well, what kind of... "story" does it have? Because honestly, everything I've heard about the Legends series, "story" really isn't one of its praises. =P

I don't want to spoil, but I'll just say this: It winds up being one of those "destroying paradise is a good thing" stories. L1 establishes a few basic ground points, but it's L2 that really dives into Volnutt/Trigger's backstory.

I'm sure there are narratives with the occasional button-pressing that do better. It is after all still a fairly cartoony style. But so far as MegaMan games go (I know, that doesn't set the bar high), it's in a league of its own. It'd be almost as if the Zero-series actually told its story in-game (

) without having to hand you an "everything you know is wrong" notice every couple of years.

Also, it ends on a cliffhanger. Which is why everyone clamors for a Legends 3.

I've never seen a good story told in a Megaman game, but aight. Believe it when I see it. Time to get my emulatan on.

...should I play Legends 2 without playing Legends 1 or summat?

I'd suggest doing Legends 1 first to get a general idea of what's going on. That's me though.

As far as Skywards Sword's style, I like it. Maybe that's because I actually liked the artstyle in WW. Mixing TP's and WW's artstyles looks rather nice so far, I find. It will be nice to see what they do with the bosses.

Mirby · **Reply #658 on:** June 19, 2010, 09:25:08 PM

Legends 1 first for a basic idea; an introduction to that world, so to speak. And there would be some things in 2 you wouldn't get if you didn't play 1 first.

I like the artstyle for SS; it seems nice.

Kieran · **Reply #659 on:** June 19, 2010, 09:55:33 PM

The art style looks okay to me. Maybe a little too bright, but eh. I never had a problem with the cel-shading in Wind Waker, but rather the character designs.

There any translation patch for the PSP titles? I'd have an easier time to play those.

...and seeing from some youtube videos, I just know I'm gonna be dissapointed with the story, from the way you are all hyping it. =P

I think there are game scripts on gamefaqs for both

I'll just play the PC version, I guess. Either that or just watch the cutscenes on youtube. I'm just interested in the story.

Mirby · **Reply #663 on:** June 19, 2010, 10:23:07 PM

I don't think there's PC versions...

Also, sue me but I just now got around to watching the trailer. SQUEEEE!!!

Hypershell · **Reply #664 on:** June 19, 2010, 10:24:42 PM

There are, but good luck finding.

Oh, I'm sure you will. I can't think of anything I'd suggest that you wouldn't be disappointed in.

Forget SS's visuals, I just want those frikkin' sword waves.

There's tons of good stories out there. You just gotta know where to look. The Oddworld stories, for example. Panzer Dragoon Saga. The first KOTOR. Bioshock. Phantasy Star Online's missions. Eternal Darkness. The World Ends With You. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Yakuza 1-3. Red Dead Redemption. Assassin's Creed 2. Fallout 1. There are tons of great games with tons of good, original stories.
