X6 wasn't nearly as bad as people made it out to be.

It's also way better than X5.

X4 was the GOAT, but X6 was fantastic, I wasn't aware it was disliked around here, never got to play X5 though.

I love X6 because how bad it is.

But really the only WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT FUCK YOU thing in the game is the donut level

There's literally a jump you can't make with unarmored X without using a glitch in the Gate level.
>>
>>319941715
Except he points out that the game has a couple of surprisingly strong levels and most of the design problems are tertiary bullshit/the game's design being wobbly and unfocused.

I think it's one of the best X games despite its clear flaws, but he's mostly right. Shit, his videos helped me appreciate the game more.

X4's level design isn't great compared to the first two MMX games but it's god tier compared to the two games that followed.

X6 in particular may have some of the trashiest level design I have ever seen in any game.
>>
>>319942242
I'm not sure why you would. I'm not sure why anyone does. It's not a remotely good game.

X6 is better than X5 just for the fact that you can ignore Alia.

Both games were obviously produced as half assed rushed low budget titles though. Just look at the boss animations and some of the background qualities when compared to X4. Some of the shit from X6 looks like it comes from a chinese bootleg version of the SNES Mega Man X games.

Can we all agree that X3 is boring as fuck?
>>
>>319944292
Yes.
>>
X7 is the only mediocre game IMO.

X3 is borderline just because it's boring as fuck. See how many times they rehash the same braindead boss attack pattern and how empty the levels can be at some points. The music is questionable at best. Also Zero is garbage.

For me I personally prefer X2 and X4 for their more speed oriented level design. Sure, they are the easiest games, but blasting through levels with smart movement and weapon usage just feels amazing, and both of their soundtracks only amp up that feeling for me. I also consider X4 to be the true debut of Zero.

I really enjoy X5 and X6 for how unique they are, and I tend to prefer X6 because I'm a masochist I guess. Well, the fucking Shadow Armor is the coolest god damn thing ever, so it has that.
>>
>>319944097
switch X3 with X8 and i'd agree with you, as much as I like X8, it's not as good imo.

You forgot the Xtreme titles and Command Mission.
>>
>>319941145
You are right it isn't that bad, but X5 is still better.
>>
>>319944063
true, but at least Xtreme difficult was there to make it a bit more interesting
still, whoever you pick for that fight its still easy
>X in any armor can just zone the shit out of sigma
>Zero is so mobile sigma cant keep up

on that though, almost no final form Sigma was an actual hard boss battle, just a bit cumbersome because of how it was designed or how big sigma was at most
X4 first and second form were pretty good though, final one was shit

>>319944292
Of course.

Worst OST too.

It's the only one of the 3 PSX games that look and play like they actually gave a damn about its production.

X5 and X6 look like bad knockoffs in comparison.

Jesus Christ, are ALL X4 fans mouthbreathers? The game was a dumbed down, poorly designed mess.
>>
>>319944641

X3 is basically an example of how more isn't always better.

The levels were far too long with many empty stretches where you just dash through them. Obstacles were too spread apart and hardly interesting or challenging. Boss fights were brain dead easy, and the mid boss fights were lemon sponges.

The game was jam packed with content, but it wasn't good content. X1 and X2 may have been shorter but that shit was way more focused. There was always something going on to keep you interested.
>>
>>319944641
Boring bosses on boring levels with boring design and boring music
the only decent music on the whole game is a rip off of My Michelle, probably who ever at capcom was so lazy he just submited a My Michelle MIDI and the higher ups didnt realize

X6 has best soundtrack (god awful all around)
X5 has good levels , decent soundtrack (Shitty images as an excuse for cinematics instead of animated like X4)
X4 has the novelty of being the first, still a decent Megaman X because of its superiority to its sequels , Keeping down the retarded features (Like Part system in X5 and the Nightmare system in X6). Also it has Iris.

Imagine if any X game had a Genesis version.

Or he'll, if there was a Genesis only X game like Bloodlines.

It would most likely be balls to the walls action packed with sprites everywhere.
>>
>>319941145
X1 was MM1-tier, especially with boss-fights in the middle of the stage in the final stages. But far too easy

X2 was MM2-tier, just because it kicks all sorts of ass and FEELS like an SNES revision of MM2

X3 is dull, boring, has long empty stretches, and is MM3-tier in that it just didn't FEEL like the previous 2 games.

X4 was just like MM4 in that it tried to emulate X2/MM2 and succeded, but a little bit of something was lost.

X5 & X6 are easily MM5 & MM5, respectively. X5 is good like MM5 but rather forgettable, and X6 is just like MM6 in being rushed and devoid of originality.

X7 is trash-tier...not like MM7 but close enough to not matter.

X8 is MM8 in an attempt to return to previous glory on a new system/graphical upgrade...but most people gave-up on the franchise before this game so few actually played it outside compilations.

X9 is NeverEver because Capcom hates Mega Man.

But it's not really? I see this criticism a lot and I don't really see it. You have to adjust just a tiny bit for the physics changes, sure. Dashing in itself is slightly slower, but in the PSX games just holding the button down guarantees a dash jump, so repeatedly dash jumping is faster than relying only on dashing. I think wall jumping is a bit faster in these games too. Other factors to consider are like how X's buster charges significantly faster, and how Zero just tears most enemies apart.

Even if you disregard all of that, it's still a faster game than X3 by virtue of level design alone. Personally I'd say it beats out X1 on that scale most of the time too, but that's just me.

Not really. The changed story does throw around a very different mood, the Armor Parts being completely re-arranged fucks with play order significantly, the Sigma Fortress stages are almost entirely different besides loose theming, and the game balance is pretty fucked. I have trouble playing the SNES game at times because shit comes at you real fast, but in the PSP remake almost every single boss and enemy has a prep animation that makes it pathetically easy to dodge their attacks.

Let's not even get into Final Sigma on MHX. Hard Mode actually makes him easier because of the giant shoulder laser attack making you able to get in two free hits while easily avoiding the attack.
>>
>>319949347
This guy is right on the bill. X8 was great, and definitely one of the more underrated titles in the Mega Man universe. It only gets so much shit because it came out right after the abomination that is X7, and ended up undeservedly grouped together with it.

X1 oozes a unique sort of charm in that the stages were more experimental rather than gimmicky specifically, and besides, say, the flamethrower turrets on platforms in Storm Eagle's stage, the experiment worked out greatly. X2 and beyond homogenized it all, making things feel a lot more standard and expected in comparison, although X2 does have its fair share of unique surprises and factors.

Fuck this stage so hard. I played X5 earlier this year, Zero-focused playthrough but I tried to get all the Armor Parts for X. .. which stopped my playthrough dead when I had to get Tidal Whale / Duff McWhalen's armor part with an unarmored X. Uggghhh.

But Squid / Volt is easily the worst stage in the entirety of X5 besides maybe the dickish Quickman segment at the beginning of Zero Stage 1. Don't hit all the jumps and shoot all the obstacles with precision timing? Instant death. Now get all the blue balls along the way too. Somehow my damage capped out at 999 and I still got GA rank once I finally passed that horseshit.

Yeah. Humans are just a background presence in X.
>>
>>319952148

>>
>>319951702
The story is done better in MHX in my opinion, one of the best aspects being that it really fleshes out on the characters. Especially X, which never really had much development in the first place, and especially not in comparison to Zero. Not much about the remake bothered me, except for the sluggish wall-jumping, and the Light capsules. Not because I care that they were re-arranged, but because it's stupid that you have to actually go looking for the dash upgrade. A few of my favorite tracks from the original were also missing, like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSjhkoFFLIM
and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZzfN7sxyOM

Just wish they could have implemented them somehow, but I digress. I think the graphics were alright, and the cut scenes were incredibly enjoyable. Remixes were hit or miss, and Vile mode was neat. I like it less than the original, but not by much, really.
>>
>>319952856
Even when we get to MMZ, though, there's only one prominent human throughout the series and we only get other humans in the 4th and final game. I don't necessarily classify Weil as human anymore. But even when you're literally running through supposedly populated areas of Neo Arcadia there's not a single trace of humans anywhere.

I never liked X2 in itself that much. It has absolutely nothing memorable about it, and aside from core gameplay, it falls flat in most areas compared to X1. The music is forgettable (aside from the ending theme, but these are good in most X games), the bosses are forgettable, the story marked the beginning of a huge mess of a plot, and it just felt cheap and rushed overall. People seem to really like it, but I can't see its appeal.

The problem with Mavericks is that as the series went along it just became a mess. There's no classifications for Mavericks that became such of free will, or those that went insane with some sort of virus or another, and while Sigma at first seems to of rebelled of his own will (especially with Maverick Hunter X's new story), he becomes a virus anyway. I guess a major plot point is that the Maverick Hunters will arrest or kill any mavericks regardless of their status or reasons, but it's kind of a mess.

The original mavericks explicitly attacked humans, because of the maverick virus. Kind of like the word edgy IRL, it lost all meaning over time.

Amnesia and memory loss can take away combat skills too. And in Zero 2, he's so damaged and worn down from a year of near-constant fighting that it isn't implausible to think that his reflexes and skills bogged down over time as well.

>>319954547
It was, but Zero was sealed away for some time and had to be revived by a Cyber Elf, the little AI programs you feed for sub tanks, heals, enemy erasures and so forth. Consequently, he had none of his memories intact, just his sense of inherent morals and base combat instinct. Mega Man Zero 3 goes the extra mile to say between the end of the X series (you can still say X6 is canon, just that his sealing happened some time later after the 'conclusion' of the X series) and Zero series, he got unsealed to help save the world in the Elf Wars that killed 90% of all reploids and 60% of humanity, and then resealed. Unfortunately, he had to do the Elf Wars and subsequently the Zero series with his original mind in a duplicate body, because Omega (an antagonist in Zero 3) has his original body.
>>
>>319954547
Did you not pay attention to the story at all? Zero gets a new body courtesy of Ciel in Z1. Cyber Elf X gave Zero the new saber, it's a straight upgrade in every way from the old one and can be customized to become all his other weapons such as the triple rod and shield boomerang.

As I said, by the time Z2 comes around Zero is in disrepair. It's likely that a lot of the functions are broken. We already know the Triple Rod was, it was repieced into the Chain Rod by Cerveau.

>>319955160
The Boots are in Flame Mammoth's stage, meaning a player has to notice a small notch of wall they have to jump up to to realize they're up there, and for those who don't get the X-Buster part early from Sting Chameleon, trying to get it from Zero means getting all the way to Sigma Fortress 3, which actually has a unique effect this time around compared to the original where Zero's death was on Fortress 1 and the two parts were identical.

Then again I guess the X-Buster's more of a neat bonus/reward like that for old fans that way.

Any veteran knows there's a capsule up there and any new player will know something is up there as the two jumps in this screen shot causes the camera to scroll up far enough to notice something is up there.

>>319955647
The leg upgrade there would only be bothersome for new players, but veterans would already know something was up there in the first place. Problem is, it's almost a necessary upgrade that is extremely important to enjoy the game to its fullest, and this is especially important for newcomers. As for the veterans, the annoyance only comes from trying to find out which of the stages that held the upgrade. They should have kept that specific one like in the original, but scrambled the others.
>>
>>319956672
It's a shame, as they could have fixed so much. A better and more coherent story, fixed mistakes in gameplay and design, anime galore with good voice acting, and oh so much more. I would have loved to see what they would have done with X2 and X3, at the very least.

x1>x3>x6>x2>x4>x5>x7>dogshit>x8

I remember liking x8 back when it came out but after playing it again I fucking hated it, I even enjoyed x7 more and that game was garbage but x8 managed to out garbage x7. x8 has no redeeming qualities, game is fuckinjg terrible all the way through, the worst level design of any megaman game, every stage is gimmicky bullshit, half of them are autoscrollers. The absolute worst sigma stages of all time, useless lame weapons, shitty ass controls , forgettable music, shitty bosses, a bunch of collectables that are completely useless, easily broken early on. Fuck x8, anybody who says x8 is even anywhere a remotely decent game has not recently played it, it's complete and utter abysmal trash.

I beat all the x games but 8, I actually enjoyed myself for each one but x8 I just felt like I was forcing myself, I was not enjoying it at all. Got to sigma and just said fuck it. Literally threw it in the trash and went back and beat x1-6 again to get the bad taste out of my mouth.

I'll give one thing to X6 that X4 and X5 didn't get right:
