I got this for PS2 today. Why can't people stop making games that suck?
I first played MS1, my favorite game in the series. Portwise, it was okay. The control lag is annoying, but if anything it'll force me to be even better.
I then played MS6. HOLY SHIT THIS GAME IS BALLS. I got so fucking pissed off when I had to fight that brain on an Erector Set body that was the second or third level boss. It's im-fucking-possible. It's like they're shoving the fact that it's a quarter muncher in our faces. That was the worst part of the game for me, but it got nearly as bad during parts of the rest of the game. There were numerous instances of "let's stop scrolling and kill wave after wave of enemies" parts that I didn't like.
I finally played MS5. No control lag, but I suppose that's because it's the same as the previous port in the two-pack with MS4. Is this arranged music? Because it really kicks ass. The game is good, and it's probably the best overall experience I had with this collection.
I'm expecting lag in 2, X, and 3. I don't know about 4. Anyway, lag in the best parts does not bode well for this collection. I should've held out for when I got a Wii and picked up that port instead.
UPDATE: I played X earlier, and it didn't have control lag. At least, it wasn't noticeably laggy. Perhaps 3 will be safe, too. 2 has always been laggy, so I'm not going to bitch about that one. I'll have to load up a ROM of 1 and see how it holds up. Maybe 1 was just laggy to begin with.
UPDATE 2: No noticeable lag in 3, either. What gives? Only my favorite game gets the shaft?
UPDATE 3: 2 and 4 seem okay, too. What gives? Why did they have to screw up my favorite game?
UPDATE 4: Wasn't expecting to do another update, but I gave MS1 another play earlier today, and the lag was significantly decreased. What gives?
