I just bought this because I loved the first X on my SNES. I know 6-8 and Command Mission are not canon, but are X7, X8, and Command Mission worth playing at all?
X8 and Command Mission yes
They're all canon, X5's Zero ending that leads into MMZ just takes place waaaaaaay after X5.
>>333903829
X7 is garbage.
X8 is solid.
Command Mission is a fun little rpg but average at best.
>>333903829
X7 is the second worst in the series
X8 and Command Mission are great
>>333904268
X6. Zero's X6 ending takes place way after the "last" X series.
Him being sealed away is the premise for MMZ.
>>333904345What IS the worst then?
>>333904567
He's gonna say X6, and he's fucking wrong.
>>333904567
X6
>>333904935
Fuck you, its far worse than X7
>>333904935
X7 is definitely worse than X6.But X6 is still garbage.
>>333905212
>Two or three shit levels, a few weirdly designed levels, and so.e sloppy but fun levels.
>Worse than shitty forced 3D sections, horrible voice acting, imprecise controls, and not being able to play as X until you're well into the game.
Please kill yourself. Blaze Heatnix is the pits, but X7 is pure shit.
>>333905664
this
there is no redeeming qualities about X7 save for that no one cares for or remembers it.
>>333905664
X4>X3>X5=X2>X1>>>X6>X7
>>333905664
>Two or three shit levels, a few weirdly designed levels, and so.e sloppy but fun levels
Blaze Heatnix is shit
Rainy Turtloid is shit
Ground Scaravich is shit
Blizzard Wolfang is shit
Infinity Majinion is shit
Shield Sheldon is bad, but alright to play
Commander Yammark is alright to play
Metal Shark Player is alright to play
And every Gate's Lab stage is shit
No levels are fun to play
>>333906468
I didn't know X4 babbies still existed.
How are those straight lines you call levels treating you?
>>333903829
X8 was like a return to form.
X3>X1>X8>X4>X2>X5>X6>X7
X3 and X1 are good enough that I still bust out my SNES every now and then to do a quick run through.
X8 is definitely up there as far as MegaMan action goes.
But it came out in an era of Capcom's more intense action games (Devil May Cry, Onimusha, etc) and just couldn't compete.
Would have easily blown minds if it came out years earlier.
>>333906874
>Yammark and MSP
>Not fun
Accquire taste.
>>333903829
6 is pretty bad, 7 is utter shit but 8 is pretty good. Never played Command Mission.
The X series is interesting in that the first game is great, the next two and the last one are just okay, and the rest are varying levels of shit. It hit its peak with the very first game.
X2>X1>X4=X8>X5>X3>X6>X7
I honestly think X6 is the best PS1 X game.That's more of a testament to just how fucking terrible 4 and 5 are than praise for 6.
>>333907234
What about Maverick Hunter X?
>>333907398
>X4 and X5
>Worse than X6
Shit taste confirmed.
>>333907234
obligatory "All X game are shit after X1" meme post
>>333907071
I can't call a level fun if there is shit involved
>Yammark
Blind jump and mantis enemies that respawn in 3 seconds
>MSP
Certain nightmares are placed right next to reploids, and you die if you let go of down while needing to crouch
>>333907485
I'll take sloppy but challenging levels with a few stinkers I can skip on replays to the most braindead, vapid game in the series and a complete RNG shitfest full of shitty gimmicks and unnecessary hand holding.
None of them are good, but by being so bare bones and slapdash X6 ended up being the least affected by terrible design decisions. It was just annoying and lacking instead of condescending and bloated.
>>333907767
>sloppy but challenging levels
>Not the literal worst levels of the series minus 7
Even X4's linear levels were way better, faggot. Not to mention X4 had the best soundtrack of the series and X5, while a bit reliant on RNG shit, had a way better story than X6's fanfic-esque garbage. Plus both had way better levels than X6. Get better taste, faggot.
>>333907767
I cannot tell what game you are trying to side with, are you getting games mixed up?
X5 has some handholding, some stinkers you can skip on replays, and one bit of RNG
X6 has sloppy levels, is a shitfest of RNG, and full of shitty gimmicks
X4 has my favorite soundtrack in all vidya.
So GCN or PS2 version of Command Mission?
>>333906976
>Onimusha
>intense
I actually like that series but it is pretty fucking lame.
>>333903829
they all canon, anon
X6 Zero ending cutscene takes place after X8 and CM, that's all, it also ties in with megaman Z
DID SOMEONE SAY COMMAND MISSION?!

>>333905212
Nope, X7 is the real stinker
X6 has redeeming qualities and at least controls nice
Also DAT OST
X7 barely works most of the time and characters feel like shit when you play them
Zero is slow as fuck
Axl is easy mode since it has auto targeting
X is unplayable since he has no 3D aiming
Soundtrack is shit
X8 fixes almost all X7 problems
Can't we just agree that X as a whole is shit and Classic is much better?
Been wanting to get the PS2 versions of the X AND Classic collections. Are they flawed in any way? I hear the port of 8 on the Classic MM collection is butchered.
>>333906976
>X3
>Good
its literally the worst o the SNES games and the most boring boss roster of all 2D X games, the only worse boss roster is in X7
Zero is a fucking teaser power up
X plays some how worse than he did in X1 and X2
The soundtrack is only decent when its ripping G&R and even then is not even near X1 or X2
>>333909472
I think we can agreethat you're a faggot.
>>333909283
I've always wondered about X8. I stopped at 7 since it was so fucking horrible.
>>333909512
Do yourself a favour and emulate the Japanese version of MM8, A LOT of its problems comes from the horrible dub and dub sound bytes
Its worse than X4's dub problems
>>333909283
>X7 barely works
It works, its just slow
>Axl is easy mode since it has auto targeting
>X is unplayable since he has no 3D aiming
Oh you just never played the game, ok.
>>333909712
Do they actually effect gameplay? If not, I don't really mind. I'm just asking if they have anything wrong with them like input lag, butchered content, etc..
>>333909512
it is. lifebars have fucked up colors, and the voice clips for the boss rematches in the fortress are sped up like chipmunks for some reason.
that said which console you get anniversary collection for determines what bonus video you get. PS2 has the first episode of Ruby Spears megaman, Gamecube has first episode of NT Warrior, and Xbox has an interview with inafune
>>333909712
Its mostly because the voice actor for X in X4 and Megaman in MM8 are LITERALLY the same person. They came out around the same time. Its why the dubs are so dreadful.
>>333909693
X8 is like you take X7
Make a list of all its wrong with it
Fix almost everything in it WHILE keeping the same engine
Zero is faster (still not as fast as he was in X5 and X6)
Controls MUCH better
Rebalanced Axl's auto targeting
X can be used from the start and is a viable option
Cutscenes aint shit anymore
Improves on the switching mechanic X7 introduced with specials where both selected characters do a screen nuke
>>333908725
PS2 cause its cheaper and easier to find.
>>333910138
depends on what you consider affecting gameplay. having the lifebars go from vibrant yellow with a gradient to piss dark yellow flat, just fucking annoys me to no end
>>333910138
No but they are really really bad
Think sub machinma levels of bad dubs
X8 is good, but the more I play it the more flaws I find with it.
my biggest gripe being that literally everything comes from the shop. Heart tanks, sub tanks, they all come from the shop instead of being hidden in the stages, which in turn kills replay value on the stages. some of them are kind of bland too.
its a great game but I cant help but nitpick it more than the rest
>>333910407
they were fine for the time. Not like 90's anime cutscenes in videogames were known for their stellar voicework.
and the voicework for 8 is at least passable. Rock sounds like a girl but it's ok because he's a prepubecent boy robot. it's acceptable. and aside from Dr Light, the rest of the voices are fine for a 90's anime dub.
X4 meanwhile, shits the bed with X's voice, while the rest are honestly fine, but that X ruins the whole thing
>>333909512
The music in the X collection is weird in some spots. I know in X3 there's like a 2 second delay before the songs loop for some reason.
>>333910482
X8 was a rebuilding year
if X9 happened it would probably be pretty good since now they got te 3D gameplay down with X8 and Maveric Hunter X
>>333910645
I feel Iris did a much worse job than X, none of her lines had any impact or emotion
>>333909712
>>333910204
>>333910309
>>333910407
Okay, let's say I buy the collection for 1-7. Am I good?
>>333910693
This is the stuff I'm looking out for. Know anything else?
>>333910715
I also wouldn't mind X9 being a 16-bit game, like MM9/10. I feel like Capcom is avoiding that though because it might be too profitable.
>>333910869
I'm pretty sure the collection uses the PS1 ports of the SNES games, and they don't sound quite alike due to the usual problems with SNES games had back then when ported to the PS1 (companies wanted to make the OST better and usually end up screwing them somehow)
You can check them out by emulating the PS1 collection that has MMX3 and MM8 in one disk to get a feel of it
X7 is worth playing if you want to see the Megaman franchise hit rock bottom
>>333910869
Not relevant to the gameplay or what you were asking, but the manual for X collection has a hilarious typo, with the ad for the Megaman controller having a quote
>Arf! I want one!
attributed to Zero
>>333911038
16bit X9 like MM9 was 8bit? I would be so down for that
X4-6 style wold also be OK in my book
Hell, full 3D like they did with Strider would be great too
>>333911348
BURN
>>333907421
a bit slower than X1 but still good
too bad piracy killed the project
Capcom was going to keep making MM and X remakes under Powered Up and Maveric Hunter
We would probably eventually get a full functional remake of Blaze Heatnix Stage on Maveric Hunter X6
Also dem OVAs
>>333910869
well sort of. 1-6 are basically the Japanese PS1 ports, so if you have enhanced mode on, they have remixed music and you get hints from a supporting cast member at certain spots when pressing select. if you turn enhanced mode off, its just the plain nes games.
7 meanwhile, is just plain MM7, no enhancement. It has an issue though, and that is, it is missing the famous ending cutscene of megaman walking away from wily's flaming fortress. for seemingly no reason. Capcom says it was some emulation issue, but that smells like bullshit.
aside from that it's fine though.
remember AC also comes with 2 bonus games, the 2 arcade fingers, Meg Man: Power Battle and Power Fighters, both of which are pretty damn good.
>>333907421
Heard it's a pretty good remake with a playable Vile. Shame we'll never get shining finger X again
>>333911850
wonder if it will ever get ported to the PS4
>>333911850
>>333911693
>Also dem OVAs
OVAs? As in multiple besides Day of Sigma? Because that one was really good
>>333912272
Its not a vita game, anon
>>333912578
We would probably get one per game, so 6 in total if they only did the 2D games
X2 > X1 > X3 = X4 >>>power gap >>> X8 > X5 > X6 > X7
>>333903829
X8 is a fun megaman X game, but it doesn't really push anything in the ways that it needs to. After x7, though, we needed some good grounding material.
Command Mission is dumb, but also amazing. It's a bit slow and it's basically a clone of FFX with a few different features, but it's got the cheesy voice acting and nostalgic fun that's hard to beat.
>>333912272
I think it's unlikely. It's like Capcom doesn't want to acknowledge the series even exists anymore.
>>333912571
>Mfw that scene
It's like when the OVA was being planned for localizing they picked the G-Gundam VA just for that. [/spoiler]and I couldn't have been any happier[/spoiler]
>>333913075
its too bad he's a doc in nova scotia now and he's done like 2 VA credits for g gundam and mhx
>>333913378
>Doc in Nova Scotia
Please tell me he is an Urologist
X2>X1>X3R>X8>X5>X4>X3>X6>X7
*X3R is the romhack that lets you play a Zero
>>333914364
You mean "as Zero all the time" since you already could.
>>333915104
Yes, you could even enter capsules with him.
It also made a few tweaks to X, making him better as well
