Wow! Thanks for elaborating about the open world. My main issue with open world design, is that they are usually empty and boring. FF12 and DQ9 for example had a lot of enemies on the field, like an MMO, it keeps you busy. Although, I should mention that the open world of STALKER adds to the atmosphere. 

Anyhow, I should really look over open world games so I can differentiate better. I don't want to miss out on things because 'open world' is a bad thing in my mind.

As for MegaMan, I think the original games were very short, and there was this sense of memorization and rythem that you had to get into where you just beat all the bosses with one life or something, like a speed run. I think slowly approaching MegaMan will make it feel sluggish and slow, but then you get into a routine and start kicking the games ass. I don't know. Back in the day, when you got megaman, thats all you had and thats all you played forever so you would just master it it I guess. It's a nostalgia effect for me, as I also enjoye the GameBoy games too which were just as hard.  

The Castlevania legacy lived on with the DS titles, and you should seek them out. 

I'm an apologetic fan of MegaMan I guess. I've always found the games difficult, but fun. I don't know about the X-Games though? I stopped with the NES games and continued with MegaMan Legends.

The best sandbox of all time is an interesting choice of words, because I don't like open worlds and the 'best of all open worlds', I don't know what that means to me? 
I guess I'll have to wait and see when I play it.  Peace Waker was very bite sized and grindy in comparison to MG5. For contrast, my favorite open world was Final Fantasy 12, Dragon Quest 9 and  Witcher 3. 

Where did you stop? I think the last part of the game does a better job of leveling you for content, unlike the opening and middle where you have to grind quests to level up to prepare for story. I apporached it as an MMO and just slowly paced through it all like a long novel, but its done. 

We've had this type of discussion on pixlbit before, basically number scores are dumb and you should take recomendations from reviewers that like the same type of games, that's why I value opinion on here so much. I think Matt Snee, Whatsacow, Transmet and Darthkill, we all like the same type of games so I'm always interested in what they are playing. Oh, and also you Superstep! 

7s arent really bad scores. There are plenty of JRPGs in that score space but it's usually because the anime story is bad or cliche or the reviewer hates anime, but it might have a good battle system, for example. You have to take the written review along with the score, but I generally try to read the review and don't care much for the number. Similarly, there are fanboy reviewers who love anime for example, so they will give a higher score because anime is trashed so much and they feel it needs to be supported, its real.

Is there anything in particular that you took issue with? I hear this a lot of Final Fantasy games. 

I recently watched a video of the Disney Infinity guy arguing with Gametrailers on air about why IGN reviewer gave his game an 8 if he was a such a fan and other places gave it a higher score. It was awkward, but it seemed like the reviere didn't want to come off as a fanboy and scored it lower. Reviews scores are a weird business.

I might just wait for all the Witcher 3 expansions and play the game again later in the future. This game was very long,and I can't jump right in again with so many other things on my plate right now. Dragon Age Inquisition I might have to wait until winter when there is a gaming drought, if I'm not still playing Battlefront or Star Wars Infinity.

Im actually playing Stasis right now.

Yep. $20.

I love them all and have no problems replaying them as they are, but I want people to feel excited about them like they used too, and I think RE2 remake is getting a lot of attention and excitement from gamers which makes me happy!
