An In-Depth Mega Man 8 Design Analysis YouTube video by DaveControl

Brand new Mega Man Design Anaylsis complete! This time, taking a look at Mega Man 8! Honestly, I was pretty shocked by how long this turned out, but there were many, many mechanic shifts to go over!

Genuinely disappointed Perfect Dark was cancelled.

It’s such a shame a game can get so far into development and end up being canned.

Probably Crash Bandicoot 2! Improved on Crash 1 in just about every way, imo

Thank you for proving my point random person who doesn't follow either of us.

I agree.
Part of why I wanted to try Blue Sky was to get away from everyone angrily posting their political opinions and staying in their bubbles - only to find on Blue Sky everyone is doing the exact same thing - and that’s what seems to get pushed to me.

First game I’m playing on my Switch 2. Very lucky it has the power to handle these graphics.

My first video that ‘exploded’ ended up making me feel incredibly anxious and like it was a huge mistake.

I was excited, but equally like: “No, this isn’t correct.”

Hot Take:

I think Rocky Balboa might be my favorite Rocky film with one of my favorite motivational speeches in films.

Another extra long Mega Man analysis coming up.

Mega Man 7 had so many mechanic shifts, I couldn't resist. Hopefully this will be ready sometime tomorrow!

That’s nearly 13 hours of game design.

What is wrong with me.

Polygon too?

Another rough day for gaming outlets. It’s a shame, there’s so much talent flowing through these sites. I know the internet loves to dunk on “games media” - but it’s no different from your favorite YouTuber.

I wish everyone at Giant Bomb and Polygon the best.

My condolences to the entire Giant Bomb crew. You guys deserved better upper management than this and your content was, and always has been fantastic.
