I hate that!

How come in video games like Mega Man and Sonic whenever you just touch the enemy without them attacking you, you'll lose health (or hearts, rings, etc.)

[Yuri Volte Hyuga]

Because they want to make it harder?

Actually most people don't know this but in the enemy handbook page 22 paragraph 1 it clearly states.

" And every enemy shall have an invisible aura of doom which shall emanate from them. Upon contact any threat shall be damaged."

Or what Yuri said

Most 2D platformers are like that, not so in the 3D realm.

stop complaining and stop playing those old crapppy ass games and play a much newer better games there are better games than megaman or other garbage

[Ethereal Blaze]

im not sure about megaman, but in sonic, most enemies are metal, usually with spiney nasty things of doom. plus, if your going sonic speed, and you hit a big fat metal thing, it would hurt. but games like that tend to annoy me. if you can go fast, i go fast, and try hard NOT to slow down. so, enemies like that annoy me

doesn't it say on page 21:

" thou shall be hurt from touching your enemies bodies"

and on page 59:

"if your game lags, it is not warrantied apon us and is under the descrestion of your own Fn game?"

I come back from playing Mega Man X Collection and beating X1 yesterday and beating X2 10 minuets ago and being driven insane by X3 PS1 version and here I find a conversation about old style gaming.

Your basically right about Sonic yeah it would hurt to slam into a metal thing with sharp objects in the Mega Man games the same principal applys in Mega Man classic, X, Legends, and Zero but not in Battle Network because you can't touch your enemys because of the RPG type battle system with the exception of Network Transmission because it had the element of the classic series game play and in Mega Man games most enemys have explosive weapons on them or sharp objects on them of course Mega and the other MMs except for Trigger (Legends) are robots so they shouldn't be hurt by sharp objects then explain the dreaded spike pits the one of the many things MM is famous for they die instantly by falling into those things for crying out loud.

stop complaining and stop playing those old crapppy ass games and play a much newer better games there are better games than megaman or other garbage

It's your opinion some people like to play older games because they tend to be better and more challenging than today's games but that's my opinion.

[OniKira]

This has always been an interesting debate. IMO, I think the bosses have like an invisible aura of super hot temperatures, that upon contact, hurt the player from the heat.

...LOL

[kukutaru_ookami]

ahh one of the oldest game cliches touching the enemy regardless of circumstances=pain this ranks up with "no hero no matter how mighty can swim" and ohh that annoys me I mske it to the end of a level with no checkpoint and I fall into freakin waist deep pit of water and die and have to do the whole 10 freakin minute level AGAIN!

[The Dark Knight]

I hate that touching someone hurts you. That's how I get all my damage by stupidly running in enemys. and these emenys aren't even hidden. I run into enemys that are obvious. Stupid super hot/aura of doom barrier. >.<
