My 1st impressions on MM5 after beating it. Just a pile of mega mess if you ask me, this game is just all over the place
Not to mention that the difficulty of this game is all over the place! Bosses, for the most part, are easy. Wily is simply pathetic in all his forms and the only challenge I got were from Charge Man, Gravity Man, and Dark Proto Man. As well Dark Protoman is crazy overpowered. About 5 shots from his buster will kill Mega Man, making the battle tedious to memorize his pattern. Not to mention his weaknesses are either hard to aim or don't do much. The stages are a constant mess of difficulty ranging from super easy to hair pulling hard. Wave man's stupid shoot'em up part of the stage was horribly executed, I mean why can't I use E tanks? WHY!?!? And don't get me started on Protoman's Castle. That thing was so infuriating. It was just a giant mess of annoying and difficult stages to deal with. Then I get to Wily's Castle then suddenly its back to easy town. Honestly by the time I was done with Mega Man 5, I didn't like the game. There were just too many things that made me mad.
Conclusion: Mega Man 5 was a badly designed game and I don't like it. The difficultly goes here or there, and the weapons aren't worth the time and effort like they usually are. The two castles system is annoying as ever and I really don't like how cheap the buster is in this game.
