Board 8 > Best of the Future Collection: Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection

(+) Yeah! (+)

Nominate Phantasy Star Collection

Battle Network 3 Blue.

Megaman Battle network 2. Best virus theme.

I know that BN3 is supposed to be the best one, and I suppose that qualitatively it is just from its gameplay, its features, and its story, etc - definitely the most complete game - but I just have a special place in my heart for BN2. It was my first one. I love that it has good QoL features over BN1 while still remaining a pretty simple adventure overall compared to the growing complexity of the BNs that came after it. It also has the best music.

5 is good - I like the team battle stuff. I do feel like the series starts to buckle under its own weight here, though. Same for 6 - I think it's a solid return to form at the end of the series, but it feels like a little much at times (and the panic music issue is really unfortunate). 1 is a good proof of concept but feels like an unfinished game, with 2 being the finished product. 4 is... a deeply unfortunate misstep at a time when the series was at its peak popularity. They really halfassed that one in the worst possible ways.

2 > 3 >>>>>>> 5 > 6 >>>>>>> 1 > 4

3 > 2 > 1 >>>>>> 4

4 was so bad I didn't play 5 or 6. I have fond memories of 3 even if I only remember a few details about the story. Forgive me, it's been over 15 years.

2>=3>6>5>=1>>>>4

Easy ranking made kinda tough by not knowing whether I like 2 or 3 more and whether I prefer 1 over 5
1 is kinda underrated. Yes it has a shitty Internet design and yes you can't run away from battles without a chip. And yes it also lacks a lot of other features from newer games
But the story missions were fun and it didn't have Liberation Missions

I loved 1 for the novelty, then the ones after felt like more of the same

Battle Network 6 FTW

Battle Network 2, 3 Blue and 6.

You cannot convince me that there's really 8 people who prefer BN4

Nope, the gameplay is improved in the next games.

MMBN4 was on 1 vote when I posted, and uh... the votals were much lower all around >_>

Here we go with the "lol I vote stuff for the obviously worst option I am such a great troll"
Who is this bored basement dweller

I don't understand why there's some random person who has been consistently making it their goal to make the poll feature worthless on gamefaqs

2>=3>=6>1>5>>>>>>>>4

2, 3, and 6 are all great games and I have trouble deciding between them, though I have a slight preference toward 2 that isn't really based in anything other than a gut feeling. Maybe if I'd played these games more recently I'd be able to choose between them better, but I played all these games around their original releases and haven't gone back since.

6 is a fantastic return to form after the massive turd that was 4 and the highly experimental 5, and it's a shame a lot of people who liked 2 and 3 never played it because of how much 4 sucked. 5 is probably a better made game than 1, but I was not a fan of the liberation missions gimmick and I couldn't bring myself to finish it. 4, uh, was the only game in the series where you can fight Roll. That's about the only positive thing I have to say about it.

Three things that bothered me about 3

1.In 1 and 2 we had 7 special "dungeons" for story missions but in 3 we had 6
FlameMan scenario was in the Internet instead of being unique

2.Was not a fan of burning down my fire chips in the PlantMan scenario. Involves grinding for fire chips if I want to get everything

3.Not a fan of the "press program" as you need to adjust your NaviCust every time you want to walk on those small paths

Also minor complaint is about the Internet color at the end of the game

Yeah, the PlantMan scenario and the constant use of Press and stuff like that do slow down BN3's pacing for me a bit. I think this is a big part of why I like BN2 so much. Every BN game has grinding and fetch quests and at least one quest that involves you spending way too much time in the main internet doing a really long and arduous task, but out of all of them I felt that BN2 has the best pacing. It has way more depth and better QoL than BN1, but doesn't get overburdened with subsystems and weird shit. It feels just the right length and size.

BN3 is the best. I think Blue is an updated version than White..

BN3 White is underrated imo, the only really extra content is the Punk fight that doesn't matter much, both versions have unique styles, chips, and bosses that are comparable to each other and it's hard to say which one's better imo. I think FolderBack is sort of an overpowered and ridiculous chip and the fact that it simply doesn't exist in White is almost a relief because you don't have to run it. Also I like the color schemes in White better. It's not necessarily inferior to Blue!
