Since I got my DS I asked about games and advice in a previous post - and now I got myself a R4 device. The first thing ,appart from stabbing a kitten and mauling a old women with it's dead carcass (R4 is for thieves and hoodlums, dog!) I loaded up Mega Man Zero 2.

Since I enjoyed the firsta games, played on a shitty laptop a good couple of years back, I gave it run for it's money.

In the first game I gace little notice to the Cyber Elf system which sounded like a retarded and roundabout way of healing Zero in combat. But.. I missed the point of it - a grim lesson to learn.

I spanked the first 4 bosses of MMZ2 after countless hours of just hacking away at the bastards - only having the fucking Z-sabre and buster maxed as my tools. Frustration growing I thought: "How the fuck am I going to be able to beat the rest of the game if this goes on?!"

I didn't - my last resort seemed to be to load up a cheat of sorts but I changed my mind and read away in a guide and came across the cyber elves and their purpose - I cringed.

Fuckers - how about guiding stupid people like me to understand that a elf that says: "I give you health now and then!" means "I will permanently add 4 bars to your health meter." or that "I help you defy gravity!" does not mean "I'm like the purple Yoshi in SMW!".

Basically I went on a hunt for elves to make Zero the bad ass killing machine he is - I took me 2 more hours to beat the game after that - adding up how I searched for the more elusive elves.
It's a good game - but just the point of not guiding people like me who expect people to be stupid, like myself, is frustrating. The finaly point - that the game actually PUNISHES you, robbing you of some of the special weapons of the games, just because you upgrade, is a bit to sadistic even for a Mega Man game.

Now I'm loading up Phoenix Wright before I try MMZ3 which is said to contain a certain amount of gigantic robots that speak like Hulk.
