Megaman Legends 3 Cancelled - Page 8

Serious question from a guy who has never remotely come into contact with any Mega Man after X3: what was going to be so great about this one that the news of its cancellation elicit so strong a reaction?

Megaman Legends and Megaman Legends 2 had a cult following and did something new with the Megaman franchise without completely tripping over their shoelaces, from what I gather. Apparently the second game had a "sequel teaser" ending as well, meaning they've been expecting a game to tie this up for a while.

Just based on what I know.

Nothing of substance, since I don't believe there was anything released about the actual game or its plot or whatever, even possibilities, more just that some people were big fans of the first two so the possibility of a third was pretty exciting for them.

And addition the fan base was teased with possiblities of a MML3 for almost a decade now.

The fans could only handle so much. As for me it's more of a from the prospective of "creator wanting to continue HIS work that unfortunately belongs to the Execs" kind of thing. And the thought that I might be faced with a similar problem someday.

This is all true as I own both games and have seen the ending for MML2.

That's pretty much it. When a series with a notable fanbase has a hook for a sequel, and instead of actually getting said sequel the characters from that series get used in a dozen or so other games for a decade, and then you get something like what happened with MML3?

Yeah, people are gonna be pretty peeved.
