Mega Man 9 Hates Me

I have never had my ass kicked by a demo before. I mean, there's not just one, or even two giant elephant robot enemies...but three, three friggin robot elephants that continually sent me back to the begginning .  Pathetic, I know, but I blame it on the fact that i was distracted with trying to get  a certain beta key.

In the world of Hulks and Bruce Banners, you, Jeff, are a Hulk player.  Just like some of my friends and family, the anger and frustration rises up within until you gotta step away, beat a pillow, throw the controller down, yell, scream, curse, etc.

Makes me wanna get my hands on this game!

That was Legendary....

Was that a DS3? Well I'll be dammed.

"getting a chance to through their controllers out a window"

Don't you mean "throw"?

Don't feel bad Jeff, I gave up after the second elephant on the demo.

Yea I think almost everyone starts cursing up a storm when there playing game and it starts getting frustrating.

Jeff is the greatest Mega Man 9 player whatever lived.

I wasted a beautiful day watching my friends play this for around 5 hours. 5 hours. Of just sitting there...watching them play...not even getting a turn. They only beat 2 bosses in that time, Galaxy Man and Mermaid Bitch(name escapes me). It was the first time I ever got frustrated at a game just watching it. I did finally get a turn and was doing actually OK but we were going to get to leave finally so I just booked it out of there. Never want to see Mega Man again.

I know what you went through Jeff. I was THERE man.

I know how he feels. Only finished Megaman 1 and 2 and almost 3. They are so hard by today's standards.

Everything will be ok.

Ive been playing this game for a long period of time now, and i still have 3 Bosses and of course Dr Wily to complete. It is killing me, but i still wanna play.    = )

-- God Bless.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Jeff didn't have too much fun with Mega Man 9? Maybe?

And I thought I had anger issues.

Don't play Kaizo Mario, Jeff. Just...don't.

that......was too funny right now. oh god my stomach.

i feel you man. i always favored x series over the original series.

Am i the only one who keeps playing the video on repeat just to hear the music (I dont have the game yet)?  Anyone? No, just me...ok.....

You sound like Howard Dean @ 2:57

I played the demo for like 20 minutes before giving up. Can't play old school games anymore

Pansy. I will make this game my bitch.

I find it funny that Jeff is so frustrated by Megaman 9, but he never seemed to complain about all the obstacle courses and pitfalls Bionic Commando: Rearmed had.

This is such a hilarious slice of gaming life bcause everyone's been there. I sure have, even down to punching the arms of the couch to no avail. This is a great video and it's awesome to know Jeff is just a normal gamer just like everyone else. Bravo!

GREAT VID ! I lol'd

Imagine if he played I Wanna Be the Guy...

Its stuff like this that makes me wish I had been born in time to experience the classics. But I'm glad I have some impossibly hard game to look forward to spending years working up skill enough to be decent at it xD This reminds me of playing RotK. God. That game was frustrating enough if you could run it at a fair speed, but my computer BARELY handled the damn game and that just made it even worse.

haha, you should have captured the gameplay too and had Jeff in the corner with the swearing and stuff ^.^

I think anyone who starts with the magma man or plug man stages is going to need a straight jacket before they reach the boss.  Boss order is everything and the game should probably communicate that better.  First hour in and I'm halfway done, but I haven't fought and of the REALLY tough stages yet.

Still, though, he got his ass kicked by SPLASH WOMAN?  If you don't know how to handle wet females, your manual dexterity is seriously in question.

Best. GiantBomb. Video. Ever.

looks like fun.

I laughed, but only because I understand.

This is also why I prefered Mega Man X and its ilk.

You should make something like a tournament in megaman 9 with Jeff Gerstmann from giantbomb.com vs Stuttering Craig from Screwattack.com in the style of the wizard's game tournament

Oh my god, that was HILARIOUS!  You ARE the greatest Mega Man player ever Jeff!

Go back to playing Burnout Paradise and Rock Band 2, ya bum!

I liked the Howard Dean moment you had.

that's exactly how i feel when playing pop 3 when you reach the boss fight with the twins.

You read some of these comments with personal experiences, and it's just as though Mega Man 2 or 3 had just come out and we're all gettin' together talking about its frustrating moments...cool.

At times like this, I'm really glad Jeff is cheerful most of the time because we DO NOT want to mess with this Jeff (or anyone in their angry mood).

O_o;

jeffs playing the ps3 virsion because xbox sucks

Forget the difficulty of this game, have you actually read all of the game's challenges/achievements?

I N S A N E !!!

damn i got the demo and cant get past the fuckin elephant god damnit. 

wow bondfish 

I gave up last night on Jewel Man stage. I remember beating Mega Man 2 on a regular basis; I've just gotten worse.

Haha that video is nothing short of amazing, there were literally points where I would start to laugh out loud, this has made my day lol, thank you Jeff!

Spikes, spikes! That's my problem but I'm totally stuck on Tornado-man, that rain bit is just too frustrating :(

no jeff!  don't do it!!!  get back on the horse!

we need continued pimpage of 2D side scrollers.  i miss games like castlevania, goemon 2, NARC(arcade), revenge of shinobi, guardian heroes etc    : (

Okay, I'm sorry I had to laugh at your misfortune, Jeff. But, damn, that was hilarious! Personally, I refuse to let the difficulty level of MM9 stop me from beating the $#!+ out of it.... with zen like patience( I guess that means it'll take me a month).

That was great.  I loved Jeff's expressions and I am still probably gonna get this game anyway and suffer his pain.

One of the main reasons these older games were so damned difficult is that the controls were so freaking limited. We have dual analog sticks and pressure sensitive buttons with tilty controls for a reason. Not "just because we can" but because they add depth and controlability to the games. It's like composing music without a keyboard... possible but more difficult than it needs to be.

EDIT: So Jeff, are you using a modified d-pad 360 controller? Or are you actually playing Megaman9 with the analog stick?

*chikka chikka chikka chikka chikka chikka* Awh Jeeze *Bloop bloop bloop bloop*

*chikka chikka chikka chikka chikka chikka* Oh god! *Bloop bloop bloop bloop*

Those were the best.

Damn Prez....I got me a few chewed NES and SNES controllers as well.
