The Charge Shot

[Guest]

There tends to be a very strong opinion with most people on this topic.

What say you?

I had no problem with it, and this is the first time I've ever heard it suggested that it ruined the series.

It started with Mega Man 4, and many have associated it with the point that the series went downhill.

The anti-charge shot argument is that once it was introduced, it made the game too easy, and there was little to no reason to use your other weapons to solve problems.

There's actually a group of people that are going to boycott Mega Man 9 if it includes the charge shot.

I disagree; it added something to the game, and took nothing away. To me it was like having another special weapon, that's all.

I don't think it ruined the game. I'm of the opinion that they should have kept it out of the main series, but definitely had it in the X series, not just as a way of setting them apart, but also because you needed all the help you could get in those games.

I never found it that bad...

Well, SOMEONE that voted disliked it.

My feelings exactly.
