| * parkbench: I thought //Megaman Battle Network// (//Rockman.exe// in Japan...such a cooler name) was pretty clever---I never played [[game:mega_man_battle_network#mega_man_battle_network_2|the second one]], but I can believe that it is the best in the series. Still, the first was nice despite any alleged tedium; an interesting formula that didn't devolve entirely into a card battle. | * parkbench: I thought //Megaman Battle Network// (//Rockman.exe// in Japan...such a cooler name) was pretty clever---I never played [[game:mega_man_battle_network#mega_man_battle_network_2|the second one]], but I can believe that it is the best in the series.

| * Torma Usuda: I wanted to think like you, but the random battles and the corridors which look exactly the same because it's THE INTERNET or whatever excuse they used to scroll new bitmaps in the background and call that a different level made it impossible. The boss battles were great, though! If they had done the game like a //[[game:pokemon_series|Pokemon]]// game, where the random battles were avoidable and most of the time was spent battling other Navis, I could have seen myself liking this.\\ But performing meaningless sidequests in all those samey corridors against all those little helmet guys on a 3x3 grid is no for what feels like 3 fucking hours at a time (though it's more like only 15 minutes of torture admittedly). | * Torma Usuda: I wanted to think like you, but the random battles and the corridors which look exactly the same because it's THE INTERNET or whatever excuse they used to scroll new bitmaps in the background and call that a different level made it impossible.

| * Persona-sama: Yeah, I really liked //Battle Network// when I first played it. I thought it was a charming alternate universe to the world where robots reign supreme. Travelling through the internet and busting viruses along with your school friends and rival, it was like a fun shounen manga/anime/cartoon/episodic novel. I remember distinctly thinking, "Man, I wish one of these games would come out every year!" Then I played the second one and enjoyed it a little less and by the third game I was pretty tired of the whole thing. For some reason the charm of it wore away really fast. | * Persona-sama: Yeah, I really liked //Battle Network// when I first played it.

| * Eudaimon: //MMBN 3// was actually a good game. There's just a shitload of ways you can customize your character, and still it all manages to be balanced. Every chip, program, and style is in some way viable if you utilize it correctly, meaning that the difficulty lies not in finding the best set, but in finding the best set for the way you want to play.\\ Of course, the game's tragic flaw is that it still tries to be an RPG in many ways. The pacing is a little slow, and the story is too bland to deserve the focus it receives. But it's still, in essence, a good game.\\ Of course the rest of the //[[game:mega_man_battle_network_series|Battle Network]]// series can go to hell, although the latter games much moreso than those previous to //3//. | * Eudaimon: //MMBN 3// was actually a good game.
