I still can't quite get over the fact that they canceled the game I looked forward to for half of my life. I got legends when I was 7 in a Costco bin of Greatest hits Ps1 games (back when it was price club) Little did I know it would warp my fragile little seven year old mind... I played it. Then, I became obsessed with it... for 2 years...
After those two years, about a month before christmas, my family and I were in a block buster (Which we went to once on a blue moon) and there it was. Megaman Legends Two. I didn't have a computer yet, so I couldn't see that it existed until that day. I didn't even know that such a thing was around but, overjoyed, I got all giddy, and my brother purchased it for me to be unwrapped on christmas. Longest. Month. Ever. Eventually, the big day came, and I unwrapped the gift I had longed for the most. I entered my room and didn't return for 7 hours. (basically until my parents had to pry me away from the television for dinner)
The game stayed with me for ever, even now. It was around then when I got my computer and discovered all sorts of forums, fan fiction, art work and other great things dedicated to my favorite thing of all time. The Obsession lasted for another 3 years. Purchasing the misadventures of Tron Bonne, playing and loving that. But after I had played that 5 times, I had a hunger. A hunger that simply wouldn't and seemingly couldn't be fulfilled.
I wanted a sequel. Another one. One that would get my God Forsaken Hero off of that so called "Paradise" of a moon that bound him from having anymore awesome adventures. Though, at first, with much praying, I hoped that such a game would arrive. No such game arrived.
Now, in the ripe old age of 16
my thoughts have been anywhere but with Megaman, having not played any of the Legends games in around four years, I begin to hear stories- Legends, if you will, XD about a certain blue bomber coming back to the universe that had seemed forget all about him. Megaman Legends 3 was on the way.
My god, it was about the biggest relapse I think I've ever had, like a drug relapse but stronger (and slightly more care free
) I almost immediately found my self, once again locked into my room for hours on end, playing my favorite games of all time. Reminiscing about all the times I had playing it and then having the overwhelming joy of reliving such memories, the only difference being that the bosses that once took me days to defeat, over the course of tens of tries, now took me one try and two minutes. But then July 18th happened...
It was probably the saddest I've been in months. Honestly, I almost saw it coming, but in the same respect, I didn't think it could happen. But there it was. The shining refractor of hope that sucked me back into this universe, now shattered, along with the dreams of what could have been probably the most fulfilling experience in my entire gaming career.
For the last week, I've been apart of the efforts to try and bring it back, but I realized and thought, It's just not going to happen. Saddened, I put in my Legends 2 one more time for another play through. The game ran through it's initial cutscene, that for the first time ever made me tear up a bit (I kid you not.)
"I've been searching for the Mother Lode, because, I thought if I found it, I'd be able to see my parents again. I guess...I was just fooling myself. I've gotta accept reality. Face the facts. They're gone--both of them are gone... But still, when you said we should go see, for ourselves, I remembered something my mother told me, a long time ago. She said, a Digger should never give up hope!"
My god if ever there was such a thing that I needed to hear it was that. If Roll wouldn't give up on her dream, why the heck would I? I know how absolutely corny this all sounds, but for the first time, my game spoke to me, and with it's help, I have come to a new conclusion. Legends 3 might not come out now, next year, five years, or even a decade from now, but god damn it, it's going to come out!
This digger isn't giving up hope just yet!
-Now, does any one else still have hope? Am I wrong? Is there no chance of a sequel happening, has any one else given up hope? Please, tell me. The whole reason of me typing this thing is to hear what others think (Okay, and too let off some steam).But that doesn't change the fact that I'd like to hear them. I also wouldn't mind a few other stories of how people got into legends. I look forward to reading any responses. c:
