God if your first experience with an in-game ranking system was Mega Man Zero's I'd completely understand if you never wanted to see that in another video game again

you WILL have to grind for the enemy score in half and these levels and we WILL call you a bitchboy if you dont and you will NOT be able to replay this level without save scumming
Mega Man Zero 2 would be a lot more fun for me right now if it had a fast restart option to make all of those EX moves it is gating behind me getting a high rank significantly less tedious to do. I do not mind having to deathless run a stage well, I DO mind that you are making me reset
and EVERY single time I do this I have to watch the cutscene, I have to read the mission start dialogue, I have to watch myself get teleported, mash through prompts, just end me
I love rank chasing, but the game has to make it something that is convenient to do and not ham-fisted and bad. It should be hard to get good ranks, but also I should be able to reset and retry from the start without any penalty.
More importantly, it should be FAST. If you're going to demand me putting the time in, you need to make it not wasted on menus and cutscenes and dialogue I have seen already.
I like how it handled some of this stuff so weirdly that the recent collection was just outright "you know what fine heres some optional tweaks to help with that" lmao
I'm on my hands and knees, can I just have a god damn fast reset option? That's it, that's all I want. I will deathless run your stage, I really don't mind!
That is the part that's getting me, the levels and bosses right now are reasonably fun! The controls are great, really most things work well. But the 10% of levels that are just bad are SO much worse because I can't fast reset!
I think what always really bothered me is the idea that they implemented upgrades with the Elves, only to then go "yeah if you ever upgrade Zero, we're knocking points off your score, go into every level naked and afraid or you're a bitch"
Well, those games most assuredly have reset options and/or ways for you to replay the sections in question. Every time I die in this stage in Mega Man Zero 2 I have to hard reset because the game does not give me an option (as far as I can tell) to simply restart in-game.
