I fucking hate this game so god damn much. Holy shit it is the worst mainstream megaman game of all fucking time. It is fundamentally BROKEN, what an absurdly SHITTY MESS
But
Holy dammit, it easily has the best soundtrack of them all. Out of the eight boss stages, a whopping SEVEN of them are masterclass songs. Only one is bad, and SEVERAL other songs littered throughout are MAGNIFICENT
How...how does a game so fucking AWFUL have a soundtrack so AMAZING!? Why the fuck couldn't a musical score this good be attributed to an actual good game!? I can't even pick a favorite song, so many are absolute ACES
I've played and beaten hundreds of games and I've never seen one so disjointed such that the soundtrack blew me away with its excellence while everything else spun tires in the mud. Damn.
is it worse than mmx 5? I've been playing through the megaman x games and mmx 5 is not only a bad mega man game but it feels like shovelware tier garbage. Its hard for me to imagine something worse than 5.
Noah Russell
You are correct about everything you said about x5. I was in your shoes a few years ago and upon reaching x5 I too felt it was incredibly weak and cheaply produced (except for a few ending stages). That said, x6 is a collossal fuck up for reasons I won't get into for the sake of keeping it a suprise for you.
It's bogus banana hard unless you know exactly what the developers were thinking, and if you go into a level without the correct set up you are going to fail and waist your time. Damn .
X6 is fun and its pretty easy to circumvent a lot of the bullshit design if you know what you're doing. this piece of shit on the other hand is just plain bad.
x4 is my favorite in the series. It's the only one I could easily see myself replaying any day of the week. It feels so responsive and fun, the music is high tier and the stages are tons of great. HUU HAAA HUWWOO
Yeah but if you get to Gate 3 in the ninja suit then you're presented with an impossible jump, among other issues.
I don't understand why people hate X6 so much. It's not that much worse than X5 and there are a few good qualities about it, if you want truly irredeemable shit just take a look at X7.
X6 is the "X3" of the PS1 games Late, nutty, unfinished at parts, but fun as hell.
Gavin Mitchell
X3 is only fun if you skip the arm parts charged shots with those things are so shitty
Wyatt Russell

William Harris
X6 is fairly shit on for its garbage level design, but its somewhat of a guilty pleasure game in the franchise imo. It's not unusual to see people talk about how bad it is but also see people say they still like the game without being able to put their finger on it. It might be because its a decent speed game, as speedrunners often talk about it being trash but fun to play nevertheless. The incredible music does elevate it a bit though. But I feel that X5 is a far worse game, its nearly as bad as X6 but the entire fucking game is made up of slow as shit auto scrollers, who the fuck plays mega man to go slow, the X series no less with all the mobility options. X7 is awful as well, to the point that it never even gets talked about, at least X6 gets some polarizing discussion, who the fuck even cares about X7 enough to bring it up?
It's loaded with a ton of bullshit that's scientifically designed to give you PTSD. Even if it's not that much worse than X5 (which I can't even remeber anything about aside from the giant battle sub in the water stage) it still sticks with you. As for X7, I think most people gave up on that before even finishing the intro stage, so they don't have much to talk about.
Jordan Hall
So did doctor wily program him to be gay for X, or was that the maverick virus
Because It BURN TO THE GROUND, BURN TO THE GROUND, BURN TO THE GROUND, TRIFORMATION BURN TO THE GROUND BURN! BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND BURN! TRIFORMATION! AWOO!
X6 is fun as fuck, you need to get gud. There are definitely bad level design choices but the game is a fucking blast. And yes, the music fucking bangs.
Ryder Parker
So I have trouble understanding what exactly the Nightmare is. Is it just these virus things? And what exactly causes the Nightmare Phenomenon that plague the stages?
Clearing the game with all hostages was surprisingly easier than I thought it'd be. I had to reset like, twice.
Levi Murphy
You guys should check out hideofbeasts segmented no hit run of X6, what an incredible watch, the commentary on how shitty it was to do some rooms was great.
Matthew Gonzalez
For all intents and purposes the Nightmare is basically a not-Sigma Virus created by Gate As for why they can actually affect the stage so severely I have no idea This also reminds me that despite the Zero Nightmare supposedly being the reason why the Nightmare Investigators even exist, you can completely ignore the subplot and it just falls to the wayside
>Skips from x6 to 8 >Ignoring that 7 is integral to the plot by introducing axl
Gavin Moore
>Spent months genuinely curious about what's ahead as a kid until I got gud. >Interesting maverick fights. >Cool armors. >Guard Shell glitch is amusing. >Best TAS runs to watch. >Has plenty to discuss.
Robert Phillips
>segmented hard pass
Luke Peterson
Nightmare affecting the stages was an idea taken from X1.
Caleb Fisher
Both are wrong. Ground Scaravich is the worst of them all.
Jackson Lopez
I liked 6 in that it FINALLY had a plot revolving around someone besides Sigma fucking shit up.
gate is doing his stuff due to a combination of viral insanity and some really shitty actions on the part of the government that really does some good worldbuilding, establishing that they basically will kill any reploid that they want out of the way even if they're innocent, like they did with Gate's robots. It also raises the possibility that Technology is being intentionally held back by the government since any reploids that are too far advanced are killed outright out of fears of them.
Issoc is also a really intriguing addition to the plot, and the implication of a Wily AI watching over Zero with a strange parental love is a good plot hook: the idea of him basically stringing gate along just to make an engineered catastrophe because he believed 100% in zero and wanted his "son" to basically get a shit ton of praise by coming in and saving the day puts doctor wily's relationship with zero in a much more interesting light than his previous "evil slave master" stereotype from 4.
just... damn, that level design. Like shit. Was that bad.
Joseph Foster
Well that's obvious. We're talking about an in universe explanation, dipshit.
John Barnes
its not a speed run, its also literally impossible to do the game no hit in single segment, literally watch it he tells you why. It can take up to 200+ attempts for a single room, much less the entire game, due to the nature of the random spawns
Noah Stewart
Oh I get that, which I always loved as a concept, but to my knowledge there's at least background info as to why X1 mavericks affect other stages (ex. Storm Eagle's ship crashing into Spark Mandrill's area) but to my knowledge the Nightmare affects stages just because it can
But those effects actually made sense. For example, crashing Storm Eagle's air fortress into Spark Mandrill's stage would affect the electricity running through it. I don't see how the Nightmare can affect the stages in X6. I imagine it might be related to cyberspace like the Sigma stages from X5 but there really is nothing that explains what causes them.
Gavin Carter
It was explained in the game itself, you would know if you were paying attention faglord
Nightmare affects the enviroment like something radioactive Not that it matters anyway
his run also happens to really be more of an overall analysis of the game, it has kino autism on display.
Eli Barnes
Welcome to how Sonic fans feel all the time.
Levi Sanders
You know, talking about the viruses, I really disliked it as a story element. Sigma being a robot that chose to rebel opens up the question of robot rights and their place in the world in relation to humans, as well as how justified humans are in oppressing them. When everything is just "WOO, VIRUS MAKING ME CRAZY!" For sigma's motivation, it goes out the window.
Hell, they even seem to try and avoid the virus being what caused him to go maverick in current depictions-- in Day of sigma he's clearly thinking over things very thoroughly in his conversations with Dr. cain, and in X8 he has a real point to his motivation. Almost like "The virus allows him to make other reploids go crazy, but it didn't actually make HIM go crazy himself"
Thomas Williams
Never realized his tentacles were aupposed to be a long ass molecule. Always looked like generic tentacles to me
Bentley Martinez
Gotta alter that robot DNA! Which... robots don't have. Is there anything more nonsensical than the reploid DNA concept they introduced into the series?
Cooper Stewart
>playing through the X series >just finished 4, and it was the best one >hit 5 and suddenly all motivation is gone I'll power through. Eventually.
How prominent the virus is is also pretty wonky Sometimes it's part of the main story like X3 and X5, sometimes it's basically not even brought up like X4, and other times it's only tangentially brought up like in X6 where it only exists to infect Gate and asspull Sigma back as the final boss Hell I wonder why someone would actively work for Sigma if they risk the chance of getting infected too
It's just another name for the reploid's soul. Why they felt the need to call it a DNA soul I'll never understand.
Leo Campbell
At the same time, they also implied that he only went maverick due to being infected with the virus. Like I said, I don't mind him "becoming" viral in nature so long as they try and frame it just as him being able to infect things, but his mental state not having been affected and his decision to turn on humans being his own thoughts without any viral input.
Hunter Green
Please, X5 is tame and decent compared to the slump x6-x7 gives. At least X8 is among the smoothest and best.
Gavin Jones
X5 is god awful, its easy to meme about 6 because its so polarizing but 5 is easily the worst in the series, even over 7. It has bad level design AND stupid decisions that drag the game into the dirt. Also constant interruptions from the fap bait robot
Julian Thomas
>X8 among the best >literally no one talks about it EVER your shit taste is confirmed, given the amount of discussion that even the shitty games in the series get, you'd thing a so called best game would get discussion.
I think 8 gets a bad rap honestly. I can't figure out why people hated it so much. Axl finally had a good gameplay design to him, the plot was decent, its gameplay and stages was nice, and I liked how they let you swap between hunters on the go. Plus they brought back Vile.
That begs a question: Zero refers to vile as a "criminal" instead of a maverick; I wonder if they actually have a different classifications based on "Insane and violent, or just committing crimes" or if that's just blurring the two terms
Lincoln Scott
it could be a translation thing
Daniel Watson
By the time X8 happened the damage was already done by X7.
Luis Allen
/shrug I can ignore one bad game's depiction for a character. Axl was better in 8 and command mission, so I can look past 7. All of seven, not just Axl, was a train wreck.
Christopher Clark
What is she going to do with that Metal Blade?
Parker Young
I look at the Maverick select screen and get bummed out by seeing 2 autoscrollers and 2 vehicle levels. Same goes the short endgame akin to X4.
perhaps, but the game still gets 0 discussion and speedrunners don't even play it, which may not mean shit to anyone here but is telling of a series that has such a gigantic fucking speedrun base, even fucking WILY WARS has speed runners
Justin Perez
Got a question for ya OP; Did you olay through a few levels, fo "this is god aweful!!!" And quit? Or did you force uourswlf through the whole game before yoi decjdes you hate it?
I ask, out of interest, truthfully. Many people seem to.do the latter. Beat a game, then pass judgment. Personallu, if I hate a game right away, I stop playing. Why waste my time?
I agree with your assessment od MMX6 as a whole. So I'm curious.
Am I weird for quitting games that aren't good right away? Other anons feel free to chime in.
Carter Price
X8 is not perfect, but it's not even in the same realm as X7, nothing is. The mechanics in X7 are so unbelievably terrible it can barely be called an X game. I don't even know what to consider it.
Tyler Lopez
Excuse the typos. Fat fingers on a phone.
Grayson Morales
There's none It also has a god tier boss theme
Jackson Mitchell
remove alia's mandatory dialogue and this game becomes god tier
Jack Cruz
>dude lmao rng spaceshuttle fuck x5
Parker Sullivan
Those fucking SPIKES AND MOVING PILLARS IN GATE LABORATORIES FUCKING WHY HOW WHO3E 3KLJR4TH45
Alia isn't mandatory in X6 though. That's only a thing in X5.
Jonathan Smith
i am drunk sorry
Elijah Mitchell
It's better than X5
Ian Jenkins
That's because the OST team is different from the ones designing the game, so essentially the game soundtrack should have the same quality as the other games, you stupid fuck
Michael Stewart
It's cool. Does that mean you consider X6 god tier, or that you would consider X5 god tier without her dialogue?
X6 had a shorter production time than other games. Meaning that the quality of all the teams would drop but the OST team was able to step it up and not let the OST drop in quality.
Lincoln Lee
Reminds me of myself playing Sonic Adventure 2 for the first time a couple of months ago.
There's something weird about x6 that makes me absolutely despise it but also love it at the same time. No other game makes me feel like this
Cameron Robinson
X6 is less of a game and more of an experience. It's a textbook case study on how not to design a game, and yet the more familiar you become with it the more bearable it somehow becomes, like you become one with the asinine bullshit or some zen shit like that.
Justin Barnes
X6 > X4 > X1 > X2 > X8 > X3 > X7 > X5 fuck you and your feelings. get good
I tried to beat it since I want to beat at least one more X game but its so bad its borderline unplayable because of how badly it was made. What a shame to because I like the music a lot. What the hell was the deal with giving him dash on the jump button rather than the hover? Also that tiny ass laser pisses me off. We had way better busters than that crap in previous games.
>get bored >turn on Xtreme mode >get gooder X6 is some shit but fuck is that some satisfying success
Nicholas Thompson
Why does everyone hates X5 so much? It's my favorite :c
Josiah Young
X6 is fun as fuck to experiment with and find unorthodox strats and techniques to get through the game It's the literal definition of a casual filter and it will always be my favorite for that It's the X3 of the PS1 era slow pacing, stale gameplay, what it brings to the table isn't that exciting
It's good for one playthrough and only because of the story. At best it's a mediocre retread of X4 and at worst it's a tedious slog of questionable backtracking choices and being at the mercy of RNG. The Falcon Armor's legit but that's the only particularly good thing about X5's gameplay.
Carson Myers
CASUAL SHITTER
John James
>It's the X3 of the PS1 era The one that's trendy to hate because everyone else is doing it?
Lucas Jenkins
I don't even use armors.
Aiden Morris
I don't hate X5 user I'm just stating why I don't like it
Aaron Brown
X3's got some serious issues, my dude. Collectibles make the backtracking a bit out of whack, the stage design suffers from too much copypaste enemy layouts, the armor buster is straight up the worst in the entire series, and it has a bit of the MM5 problem where the challenge is less smart enemy patterns and more "lol just make it hurt a lot". X3 was an outsourced effort and, despite a couple of really cool ideas, it shows.
Grayson Gomez
I still can't decide which is worse, X5 or X6. I mean X7 is the absolute bottom of the barrel but one of these fuckers comes next.
It's a good thing I said that 6 is better than 5, then.
Aiden Cooper
are you me? i got the x legacy collection and was playing through them all in order. having a pretty good time, beating about one game a week from x1 to x4. had a good time with x4 as zero especially, then i got to x5. played it for like an hour, havent gone back to it since. its been over a month.
Ryan Butler
I was hospitalized and on medication when playing through X6 and I think it helped save me from a stroke. Outside of Metal Shark Player and maybe Wolfang, every single stage is absolute ass.
Luke Murphy
What is there even to meme about X8? An elevator leading up to space? The spike miniboss in Antonion's stage?
Ayden Reed
i dropped the shitter part for the no armor shit. X5 is a fucking casual shitter game. the thing you need to understand is that when you hit X4 you have 2 options. X6 or X5. If youre a filthy fucking casual or normalfag you like X5. If youre a masochistic psychopath of a man wanting a challenge you like X6.
X4 is the only one that is middle ground. also the guard shell bug in X6 began from X5 and their shitty patch was overlooked during X6's rushed development cycle. we can legitimately thank X5 for making zero so fucking broken because it all stemmed from zero's assets exclusively which makes it funnier
Eli Butler
The game itself is actually good, the music is probably the best and the characters feel great to control. But the fucking STAGE DESIGN MY GOD It's like the devs were constantly thinking "how can I make the player consider suicide" every 5 minutes
>Twink villain voiced by a woman >anime style game uses girls voice for a guy >Because anime and anime games don't do that shit all the time
What, you hate legends too?
Lincoln Cooper
nobody likes both equally. people like this do not exist, because they like X4
Angel Butler
It's generally accepted truth that the back half of X is worse than the first half. That said, I do think all of them are worth plowing through at least once as they're all still substantially different, even X7 if only so you can properly ride the hate train (and understand the few things it did improve upon from X5/X6).
Charles Cooper
Plenty of people memed about Juno back in the day.
Adrian Nelson
Alright we know about x. But what about original MM. Why did you guys hate 8
because I love it
Juan Fisher
>equally Who are you quoting?
Gavin Gray
Just because you're an angry manchild that huffs his own tantrum fumes doesn't mean everyone else is
>Manowar did somehow get worse with the audio clips in LC2 so granted >This one's not bad at all, easily one of the least cancerous vehicle stages despite its length >Okay, this is definitely dumb so granted >Nothing weird about this in Japanese games
Michael Nguyen
Why is she always sipping on that drink?People hate 8?
All you have to do with X7 is play the intro stage and see how slow the menus are. Going beyond that is cancer (even though the music is great as always). Well, maybe Flame Hyenard's stage just for the laughs.
Kayden Moore
Every time there's a normal MM thread people shit on 8 constantly.
Sebastian Hughes
>there's a fucking battery level indicator on the cup Is that to show how full of juice it is or what? Jesus Christ what a world.
I like MM8 but I get why people don't like it as its focus on using weapons to access new areas is quite the departure in terms of stage design. Couple that with the X4 tier memey VA and MM7 style robot master progression and I can definitely envision it having some vocal haters.
Hunter Murphy
aile a fatty
Ryder Miller
MM8 is the only classic I have not played because I was traumatized by Mega Man & Bass as a teenager and it scarred me for life. From what I've heard the gameplay and level design is very similar.
Oliver Green
Stay mad loser
X6 is fucking awesome BECAUSE it's balls to the wall hard
Gate took me like a full six months to beat
I rescued every single Reploid without looking anything up way back in the day
Its an Energy Drink, so that meter will let you know when you run out of juice
Logan Ramirez
X7 is awful through and through, BUT it does become more playable once you unlock X, it does manage injured reploids and powerups better than X5/X6, and it does also mark the return of partial armor usage after X5/X6 also fucked that up. But yeah, the meat and potatoes gameplay of X7 is resoundingly fucked to the point where it would take a full blown remake to salvage anything about it.
Gabriel Adams
I want a reboot of the megaman series that distillates and mixes all the subseries into one. Like desalinating Roll, Aila and Ciel into a single character and mixing gameplay from the different series.
I was actually thinking about "Sailor jupiter" trigger.
Robert Gutierrez
I never really got into Tron Bonne but I love L1 and L2 about equally with a nostalgic preference for 2 since I played it first.
Jack Martin
So do we go with light-hearted Classic world, the failing X world, or the war-torn hellscape that is the Zero series? What would be the best setting for this combination of games?
Dylan Lewis
8 is really fun. I also think it has the best original MM design and should be what modern megaman should strive for, on top of having by far the best music youtube.com/watch?v=30VhRsLapt0
The only "fuck you" level is the fabled snow slide level which is almost trial and error only youtube.com/watch?v=OGq0X2cjWpg Get used to this song.
Grayson Russell
I just want X9 but for it to not have Sigma. But I know it will.
>playing 2 first consider yourself lucky, because it made legends 1 a lot easier
Michael Phillips
Eh, I replayed both a few years back and didn't really have any change of heart with them compared to how I felt as a kid. Loved them back then, still love 'em now. L1 is mechanically inferior but L2 also lacks the interconnected design of 1 so I guess they're both good in different ways.
When it comes to Mega Man I've played the shit out of X4, I've enjoyed X1, but when I've tried X2 and X5 I found them to be a sharp decline in quality, X5 moreso than X2. I don't think I ever played X6, I think I might fire up an emulator and do a run of X4, 5 (never beat it), and then 6.
Levi Kelly
Damn Dr Light got fucking jacked
Michael Stewart
To be fair Gate bringing back Sigma wouldn't be that far fetched after what Alia did
Easton Adams
X2 is fucking amazing, so that's pretty weird. Outside of that weird final Sigma stage I'd argue its just as good X1, maybe better in some ways (I personally find the stages more varied and unique).
Adrian Rivera
>x5 be prepared for rng and text boxes every 5 seconds
Jose Watson
I found X2 to be X1's equal personally. I think it has more replayability thanks to the X-Hunters and its difficulty curve is much more even as X1 had both very easy starting points and more difficult starting points. X1's undoubtedly the more iconic overall package, though.
Adam James
If you play X6 you better fucking nut up because it will kick your fucking ass if you underestimate it
command mission didn't have sigma. They CAN do other villains, just they don't *want* to do so. But if they feel they are pushed in that direction, capcom could very easily do another villain. I mean, they did have Lumine as the actual villain of 8 after all.
Brody Barnes
Since you guys are X/MM fans, what is your honest opinion on Azure Striker Gunvolt, if you played it.
This. Love it or hate it, X6 is absolutely worth trying and it frequently is a test of one's resolve to meet it on its own terms. Sure as shit is a different game from X5, though.
Christopher Watson
Only played the first one and I barely remember it but I did like it more than any MMZ title.
William Gutierrez
>Have to go through Duff McWhalen's slow ass autoscroll stage three times to collect everything.
>It seemed like a good idea at the time! Gate was basically on viral cocaine at the time, he really was just doing whatever the fuck came to mind.
Caleb Jackson
Corruption by the Zero/Sigma virus
Mason Jenkins
Shit. Very underwhelming, combat is crap, movement is classic Inti Creates which is cool but doesn't help when the whole gameplay is "Press R to win". The final battles still piss me off to this day, with one not even being able to hit the boss because he hides under his growing one hit kill ball of death while the true one recycles the regular boss fight and feels way too anticlimatic.
James Hernandez
I think it might be in an alternate timeline continuity where the zero series never happens, since it takes place in 22xx. I think the devs said that its mean to indicate that the game series are only *possible* futures, so its possible for the X series to not verge into the zero series or something.
Brandon Hall
Gate was pretty meh compared to the truly great villains of the X series.
It's possible, if it takes place just before the start of the Elf Wars. All we know is that after the Sigma Virus was permanently defeated, there was a brief period of peace before Weil went crazy. Other than that, it's difficult to say.
You can do it in two runs I believe if you beat Dinorex first (lol), go in with Zero first to get the heart and clear it, then come back with X for the armor part. It's still a boring ass stage to slog through, though.
Easton Hill
Played both ASG1 and 2. Gunvolt's gameplay was kinda linear and repetitive (even though his supers were cool) but trying to get good combos/high scores was at least interesting with how you have to carefully tag shit. Copen was super fun to play with due to his mobility and harnessing a Weapons system similar to the X series. Shame his stages are kinda short and he can cheese the final fight vs Gunvolt due to his water weakness
I liked their interactions with each other, too, but I'm kinda concerned about what road Copen/GV's gonna go down after the former's sister lost her memories and became the very thing he irrationally hates and GV doesnt have Joule anymore. Its a shame almost all of the girls die, they were super cute Lola>Joule (but not by too much)
I mean, if any traditional X is worse than X7 then that's the first one I'd nominate. Even so, I'm ultimately compelled to disagree with that notion because for as boring as X5 is, X7 is full on FUBAR.
Christopher Garcia
But all characters pale before the might of green biker dude.
That's pretty spicy, and I say this as someone who sees X8 as a redemption effort. It's still running a good 50/50 ratio on good/bad stages but those good stages are the best X had seen in a while.
>X8 first im trying hard to not reply and failing. i know its bullshit but man thats irresistable
Colton Ortiz
Yes Basically Zero and X souls live on as this demi god kind of fabled things
Colton Turner
>Version history Wait, Life/WeaponUps were meant to be shared from the start?
Ayden Baker
nah
Sebastian Barnes
>Zero and X souls live on as this demi god kind of fabled things Not really Ciel created models X and Z using data that she had collected of them
Luis Russell
Technically, it's made from the remains of the copy body with the real Zero's spirit. Model O is made with Zero's original body and Omega's soul.
Colton Nguyen
X8 is a great game, made Axl likeable, had all three characters feel unique and useful/equal, and had a decent plot.
Fite me haters.
Josiah Ramirez
Sorry user but you are absolutely correct and a cool dude
Austin Cox

Still not the worst Classic MM, that prize belongs to MM5. Also check this 8
Andrew Cruz
X7 isn't as bad as people think/remember, it's actually easier to deal with than X6
Juan Brooks
I don't think the stages were all there. It makes something of X7's dual character mechanic, X's customizable armor options were a nice addition, and I'd rather collect metals than injured reploids anyday. But at the end of the day the shitty stages in X8 like Manowar, Sunflower, and Rooster keep it from hanging with the best of the series. But yeah, X8 was basically the series un-JUST-ing itself but it needed an X9 to fix the remaining issues.
Brayden Harris
I played X7 for the first time on LC2. Even had the courtesy of bearable load times. Prior to unlocking X I wanted to kill a man by the time I beat my first boss, and even after getting X I was still left with a bad game, just one that didn't quite fill me with the urge to murder the innocent.
Ayden Miller
^ The contrarian meme gone wrong
Benjamin Reed
Because X7 and X8 are not canon. You see, there was this license issue and the story took two separate routes with the Megaman Zero franchise being the correct one. Think about it, before X7 Zero goes to sleep for a gorillion years but in X7 and X8 we see him as if nothing happened while in the very first Megaman Zero you're actually waking him up.
By the way, there are two Megaman X5 on the Playstation Store so you can tell there were some fuck ups on the road.
Cooper Sullivan
I played X7 on LC2 going in with a "it can't possibly be as bad as people were making it out to be" optimistic viewpoint. Turns out it's as bad as people making it out to be, I have a high tolerance for mediocre gameplay and this was just misery in video game form.
Zero's ending in X6 was said to occur at the end of the series. It doesn't have to be strict and leave room for X7 and X8 chronologically.
Jacob Scott
is this the one with duff mcwhalen?
Zachary Bailey
x5
David Jones
I know for damn sure I played better games on the regular back in the early 00s too so X7 was bad even for its time, let alone now.
That's X5.
Samuel Wood
Lola has the better songs, but I like loli Joule more by a tiny bit.
It sucks that GV doesn't have Joule anymore because of that. And yeah, its a shame that the cute girls die. Desna, Elise, and Gibril were good. I hope Copen's spinoff game is better, whenever thats fucking coming out.
It was pretty obvious based on the gameplay we did see that it wasn't going to be very interesting or live up to whatever exciting plot those two trailers conjured up in your head.
Hudson Williams
megaman x5.5: elf wars when?
Hunter Sanders
I can't believe how hard is going back to Gunvolt after playing with Copen. I mean, i hate him, he's the edgiest red rival in the world but i don't get how could they think that giving more special attacks to him instead of, i don't know, making GV's thunderbolts ignite enemies was a good idea. I get it, you can't give ice powers to the guys known for his electrical powers, but goddamn just give him something that makes sense at least.
Wyatt Parker
It makes me wish I was playing MMZ instead. No score attack, no tagging system, just MMZ's movement and gameplay bolted onto a new setting with whatever ideas they want to add to it after that.
Thomas Brooks

Jaxon Jenkins
But OP, that isn't Megaman X4.
X4 has the best OST!
Elijah Turner
Copen's getting a spinoff game? God, Ive been out of the loop for awhile. I hope it keeps that incredible movement and weapon system while making the stages more dynamic at least. He already plays really well - it just needs to be expanded upon.
They just need to find more ways for him to manifest and zap shit, and make them closer to some boss attack skills instead of just powerups to unlock whenever. Not sure if they can make him more than the usual tag and zap stuff when it comes to regular gameplay, though. And now that he doesnt have Joule, his options are likely gonna be fewer overall without her backing him.

>I fucking hate this game so god damn much. Holy shit it is the worst mainstream megaman game of all fucking time. It is fundamentally BROKEN, what an absurdly SHITTY MESS This but for every game in the X series.
>make command mission >arguably best iteration of all reploids and x/zero >make literal top tier characters JUST for this game >ONLY X game where sigma ISNT the final boss >never expanded upon god it fucking hurts

I love this game. Plus the music is fucking great.

>The music is fucking amazing >The scenes are really fucking good Feeble Massimo and Zero coming back to beat the shit out of Shadow still make me shiver

Just download the patches.

the execution of the game made it come off as a really mediocre jrpg unfortunately, and as much as VN playing faggots think story matters most, if your gameplay is shit even in a jrpg no one wants to play it
Jaxson Rogers
I dunno if I'd go that far, the battle mechanics were definitely above a no effort, cookie cutter JRPG. Granted, it's hardly one of the greats either but you can absolutely get more generic and unmemorable than Command Mission.

More like Cell since they are both based from the protagonist, they have the same voice and perfection claims.

>Zero? >Yeah I'm here. Oh hi Shadow, fuck you. >[Zero has joined the party] >ZERO GIVE ME THE SUPRA FORCE METAL >It's right fucking there >ZERO GIVE IT TO ME >I dont have time for this shit. Work it out with X >[Zero has left the Party]
Megaman x7 and x8 are shit because they changed the game style,dinamics, graphics,etc
i love the traditional megaman.
That shit is like playing any metal slug game vs metal slug 3D. the change is noticeable

>gate took me months to beat >get fucking good user are you even listening to yourself
Juan Wright
I read his sentence like 4 times and I don't see the problem. He was shit. Then, he became good. Or at the very least he hit his head in the right spots on the wall and got the right combination of thunks to bring it down
Jaxson Sanders
i suppose you’re right about the getting good part but imagine acting like you’re hot shit for beating gate after six months
