Mega Man Legends 2 - The end of a Legend [27:21 by KalTheSkeleton]

After playing the first Legends earlier this year and really loving it, I was excited to continue the story. While Legends 2 was still a great game, it didn't resonate with me in the same way, and in this video I try to break down why. Unfortunately it's the last game in the series, so this is how the story ends. Thank you for checking it out.
