Megaman 9 and 10

Okay, I have been a fan of Megaman games since they came out 25 years ago and playing the original Megaman.  Seriously... i don't remember them being THIS HARD.  I remember them being kind of chince with the jumping like on Gutsman's stage but really... overall i don't remember them being vaguely impossible.  That is just on EASY. like seriously... getting shot one seems to take off almost a 1/8 of your life.  so if i get hit 8 times i am dead. what is the point of the life meter then?

When did it become to the point to get achievements, to make them so ridiculous it is not even worth it.  For example "True Megaman" is "beat all 8 stages without getting hurt only using the megabuster".  Is that worth a Gold PS3 trophy?  because i certainly don't think so.  At that point the game doesn't really even seem fun.  that would be like having non-stop played the megaman series, and having all the patterns memorized.  that is like in the original game fighting ice man, just shooting and knowing when he is going to land so you can time your megabuster at the perfect time so he lands on it everytime never getting touched.  Yes, i know of that trick since i used it.  but really it seems like i would have to just play it 8 hours a day just to get good again.

I do remember playing the games and getting good, like Megaman X for example... I could seriously play that game when it came out for super nintendo and play it all the way through on one life.  But i rarely would just use the megabuster, and i almost ALWAYS had to use at least one energy tank. I have only unlocked the Hadoken on Megaman X once, but it was so hard to use consistently because of the fact that you were pretty much locked in place when you used it, and if you got touched you lost it. so it was basically useless.

My third issue is this... when did it become so hard to recognize the pattern of who you are supposed to fight first?  I mean really, that was like the easiest thing to do in the old megaman games.  It was obvious who you could fight first.  and honestly, the original megaman was much simpler than these new versions.  I don't even remember X4, megaman 2 or 3 being this hard.  megaman 2 in my opinion was a JOKE compared to this game.  this is like Megaman X3 where you can barely even hurt the last guy.  I seriously followed a walkthrough on how to beat him, and that didn't even work.  what happened to playing games for fun? and just enjoying them.
