Megabuster needs major buff

<< < (2/2)

Thiebs:
I support all of this. Go, Megaman! Anyway, my only thing with this is that it would be hard to convey any of this to the player. It would need a far more extensive description in the inventory. Which is why I think that it should do this, but not quite the same way. It needs a pop-up notification or something when you pick it up, and when you unlock new modes. (Remember, even Megaman had that cool screen where it showed him shooting the new-found power a few times before you continued: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5u5dzWrDf1rtpj2lo1_400.gif)

Aaiieee... let's not do down the path of full-screen animation support for DoomRL for that.

I'm swamped with work these couple of weeks.  Let me read the suggestions and mull over the fix a little.  Many good ideas, most of them vague enough that they require further interpretation.

As cool as a little ASCII doomguy shooting lightning bolts across the screen would be, I really meant a pop-up text that said something like 'Your Megabuster can shoot lightning now! Use 'R' to switch modes!'

...but if you're feeling ambitious...

Sum Gai:
What if the mega buster was 'cursed'?

Make it's regular fire 'f' was always 3 shots, and the alternate fire 'F' was your special. Alternate reload 'R' being used to cycle through available special attacks. Possible even bringing up a menu similar to when you use a mod pack and it asks you a (armor),b (boots) or w(weapon). Except the menu would ask a (acid). l (lightning), ect.

The regular 3 shot attack is strictly inferior to a chain gun (and the mega buster can't even be modded), so why not make that attack cost nothing, like a nanomanufacture weapon, and make only the special attacks cost energy?

Lastly, I know Megaman only gains new moves by defeating his enemies, but I find the idea of gaining some sort of 'atomic blast' by nuking a floor and surviving just makes me smile.
