Anyone else liked the MMX series a lot more than the original one? People bitch about how there won't be any more normal Megaman games but I really feel sorry for the X series, Legends too but mostly for the X series. Wish there was a more Metroid-like X game with more areas.

I don't know how people can say that about X games that aren't X7, just a bad departure from the formula overall, and maybe 5 and 6 for getting lazy in some aspects (spikes everywhere in the final stretches of rooms). But I really wouldn't call anything except 7 "significantly lesser games".
What makes X1 so untouchable to you?

I gotta echo the sentiments here. The first X is an amazing classic which I've played through dozens of times and will play through in the future dozens more. Even installment afterwards just gets worse than the last. The series was already starting to be a pile by the time it hit the PS1 with X4.
Legends on the otherhand was cut tragically short. I was playing it for the story more than anything, and it was just started to get really juicy by the end of Legends 2.

I don't think he was talking about X1, just the aftermath. I personally think 4 and onward was pretty bad. The constant interruptions where the dialogue box pops up to tell you how to dash or jump over walls makes me want to grind my face off. X1 had literally no tutorial, but the way the introductory stage was set up, you learned what you were capable of anyways by the time you reached the end. X1 and X2 also really felt like the gameplay was fluid. You were encouraged to go as fast as you could, a lot of times you could barely snake by traps if you were hurrying, or you could play it safe and slowly progress. But it seems like from X4 onwards, they try to punish you for moving at breakneck speeds. Even if you know when traps are coming up, they're designed to hit you unless you stop and let them pass. Which defeats the entire purpose of learning the layout of the game.

I really didn't have that problem with X4. If anything X4 plays much faster for me than X1-3, I just speed through shit with Zero like nothing and a little slower with X but still pretty damn fast. X4 is a really fast game. It only gets slower in X5 and X6 because of the added RPG-ish features and whatever, but the slower pace doesn't screw up those games for me. I can't believe some people let tutorial shit/dialog boxes ruin games for them.

Mega Man X is the only good one.

Mega Man X also pretty much killed all hype in the franchise by the constant bad rehashes and terrible games. It's funny how I remember 2005 quite vividly and no one ever wanted another Mega Man game considering there were 3 series going on at once and releasing a new game from each of them every year until 2010.

It's kinda funny, I'm even getting tired of the MM clones that the indie scene has been releasing lately.
It's tired, I want it to rest.

Why wouldn't you keep pressing an IP thats popular, incredibly easy to develop (Megaman 1-6 only have very minor gameplay adjustsments) so you're basically making a new set of levels, bosses, weapons and some items. Very easy to do that when you have most of the ground work developed from previous games.

Capcom has been doing that shit for years, and you wonder why we get Street Fighter 4 turbo edition, and Marvel Vs. Capcom a million iterations?

Its because its a really fucking easy way to make money.

Put it this way Mega Man was the original but still flawed, however they kept pushing the envelope until 3 and then it was like, "another Mega Man sequel" but around 6 they were probably developing Mega Man X at the same time which is why 6 was published by Nintendo cause they thought "RIGHT THIS IS THE NEW MEGA MAN GONNA BE REVOLUTIONARY" but after that game was released it was like "how do we improve this again it's too good" so they were probably like "oh well just more sequels I guess" which is why 7 happened cause it's like "well we should probably have a classic one on the snes then" and then X4 and 8 were just the "32-bit" versions (along with rockman & forte for "kids" as capcom themselves said) but by around X5 and X6 they were obviously trying to "keep up with the times" with 32-bit trends which sucked which is also why X7 went 3d cause "goddamn every1 doin 3d games now!" and Legends was the "32-bit 3d" version for PS1 but obviously by PS2 they were like "well we can now do a 3d X game" and it turned out to be a bad idea and then that's why it was like "well we'll just go back to the oldschool on the wii lol"

That's the true history of Mega Man here guys, basically Mega Man 2-3 and Mega Man X are god-tier, 4-7 and X2 and X3 are cool games, X4 and 8 are surprisingly good!! games and then it just goes to shit aside from Legends but that was something a bit different anyway. i guess the retro revival is good too idk

His post was literally one giant fucking rambling sentence. It's a chore to read.

On topic, I think the X series isn't as consistently good as the classic series. I like X and X2 more than I like any of the classics, but the quality of the rest varies quite a bit from game to game. IMO, the classic games are all about the same level of quality, some better than others but not by a huge degree.

MMX4 was the last unequivocally good X game, in my opinion (even if X3 was a mediocre game).

People have mentioned some bad 32bit game design creeping into the series. X4 had some cheesy shitty anime cutscenes (like MM8) that are fun to watch and are skippable. X5 had forced interruptions that make it a pain to play, and X6 has lousy level design.

Surprised with one anon's dislike of the ps2 X collection. It's basically like having the PS1 games (and SNES games) on one disc, minus the artwork. It's the best way to play the X games, imo.

I just don't have any fun playing X5. It feels like one nightmarish mess of a game, like they threw the whole thing together in 5 minutes with zero playtesting. It's laggy and slow and heavy; I feel held back by the game's physics. It took the very worst parts of X4 and combined them all into one messy game, which is funny because those exact parts weren't so bad in X4 to begin with. Seriously I'm tired of that cart stage and the motherfucking door puzzles. Alia interrupts you all the fucking time and even gets you killed. I could go on describing my eternal grief stage by stage but I think I've made my point.

Despite the questionable level design and the occasional quirk, X6 feels like an extremely solid game. It feels like the Super Turbo of the series

I find that I do favor the X series over the original, but it comes with a bit of guilt and uncertainty.

I was first introduced to the series when my mom bought me MMX and Starfox for my SNES back when I was a kid. I instantly loved the game and proceeded to play the piss out of it and all of the sequels I came across. In fact, I didn't even realize that X wasn't the original series until much later. And, once I did learn of the original, I tried my hand at it but just couldn't get into it.

Being much younger at the time, I couldn't really appreciate the sudden change to 8-bit when I was so accustomed to 16-bit Megaman. Also, a lot of the mechanics I was used to seemed nonexistent(wall kicks, dashing, etc.), so I feel I never gave the original Megaman series a fair chance. I still find myself wondering to this day, if I tried it again, would I feel any different?

I grew up on the original mega man games myself, and consider megaman X1 to be the best in the entire megaman franchise, but I know where you are coming from. I couldn't get into the original castlevania games because I never owned/rented them as a kid, and trying to play them after playing super castlevania 4 with its whip freedom and later on SOTN, was iffy at first, but I tried them again several years ago and found an appreciation for them, and better appreciation for classicvanias in general.

Well everything after MMX 4 was pretty much filler to sell games. The series was planned to end with MMX 4, but Capcom saw plenty of space to milk some cash. The Zero games are good, athough they dont play nearly the same. The ZX games are two of my favorite in the series, Minus the god awful quest system in the first game. I had more fun than I probably should have with MMX Command Mission, I cant really explain why I like it so much.

8 is awesome. The music doesn't get the love it deserves, probably because of how it's subtle and percussive, unlike any other MM game. The weapons are some of series best too, if not the greatest set there has ever been outside of the X series. The stages make use of the weapons too, in 8 they're more than just a boss weakness, many of them are useful for getting through stages. The game play would have been greatly improved with a slight speedup, if you play it in an emulator and crank up the speed 5-10% it feels great. I think it's a beautiful looking game too. Other than that, most complaints that could be made about 8 could be made about any MM game.

I think X is a mix of the best and the worst. Classic is more consistent but never quite reaches the same highs or the same lows. I started with the X series (X1 to be exact) and I'd have to say I prefer it. Yeah there were a couple of stinkers later on, but nothing in the Classic series could ever match the feeling of X1, X2, X4, or X5 for me. I think even Maverick Hunter X was a better remake than Powered Up.

Because I have my own opinions too ya know. I think it's a fun game, it's a flawed game, but I like it. I play the Japanese Saturn version, which is why I forgot to bring up the ridiculous English VA. Also, jump jump slide slide isn't much different than the bike segments in X4 and 5, it's singled out in 8 probably because 8 is already singled out for many other things that some people dislike about it.

The first game was about a cop, himself a robot, hunting down irregularly, but ultimately innocent, acting robots. We only call them "Mavericks" in the states to make them seem evil. Them being "Irregulars" in the Japanese versions is more pointing to the fact that the Sigma/Maverick Virus is making them act like they normally wouldn't. X, like Deccard, is just doing his job; wheither he knows they're really innocent or not.

Because he fucking rocks. The soundtracks for the original 1-6 is chiptuned rock music. You should be grateful that 9 and 10 went back to rocking hard.

8 does not rock. The protagonist of 8 is Eurotechnoman. That shit is so far gone from rockin'. 7 was not nearly as rockin', but okay, some of the songs rocked. 8 is the Ecco Jr. of Mega Man.

I love all the tracks in 8, minus Clown Man. My favorites especially are the intro stage theme, Saturn version's Tengu man, Grenade Man, Frost Man and Wily 2. Overall a wonderful soundtrack, it's a slow-burn kinda thing imo, when I first played 8 I didn't like it for all the common reasons, but over time I kept finding more things I enjoyed about it, and the music earwormed in. I guess the game is an acquired taste, but it also is a MM game that isn't 2 (the Pearl Jam Ten of classic MM, great game that overshadowed the entire series so badly that despite later games being great too, some arguably better, any discussion of the series is quickly framed around how the other games stacks up to 2).

Part of the challenge of the Zero series is how little space you have to work with; it demands almost inhuman precision. You get hit, you take tons of damage and you have low health. Because of the small screen, you also have reduced amount of time to respond to threats while progressing through the stage.

I always liked the X series a bit more. It's just speedier and a tad bit more technical.

I don't get why so many people prefer MMX over the other X games so strongly. Even if it's good it was by far the easiest one and way too easy in general. I mean, of course you could just do a "no upgrades" run or something but I don't really like limiting myself too much to find challenge. I kinda prefer X2 and maybe X4 and X5 after that one. X3 had a retarded buster upgrade which I did not like but otherwise it's good too. Oh, also the main reason I prefer the X series is the dash and MMX doesn't start you off with it so that's points off right there. It's nearly mandatory to do Chill Penguin first because I want that freaking dash.

Mega Man ZX was pretty cool but the overworld design made me want to scream. Advent is better but I didn't like it as much gameplay-wise. You need to get pretty far to get your sword and it's plagued by a ton of transformations that are extremely limited in usefulness. Should have just had the "Mega Man" forms.

I'm not sure if X6 is that worthy of a ROM hack.

Taking a step back, let's see what's worth saving:
- The X armors are pretty bad
- X's saber is dumb.
- The weapons are useless, as has been the case starting form X4
- Zero's new style is pretty odd
- Having the heart tanks affect only one character is and will always be a dumb idea
- The parts are pretty fun, but that started with X5.

Could that all be changed and improved? Probably. But at that point you're basically making a new game based on X6's visual elements alone.

I felt like this was the exact problem. The core game is good but I just hate most of the stages. This was even more the case with X8. I thought many of the stages were horrible which was a shame because it seemed fun at first.

Like I don't need every single stage to be the traditional "run through enemy infested platforming to boss" but when almost every stage is a gimmick stage it's just annoying.

Why? X5 armors were useless, the only good one was the falcon armor.

Shadow is very fun with excellent close range game, no weapons. Blade has excellent mobility but buster could be a bit better. Wish falcon could still fly.

Well that's one of the two armors, so that's pretty good.

Shadow armor is a bunch of good ideas that don't really work out together (still better than the Gaea armor though. If we're talking rom-hacks, that's the top thing I'd want fixed). Spraying shots, and high jumps sound cool but they don't have that much of a use. Nice charge shot though. Overall, it's a fun armor to try out once and never use again, unless you want a fun challenge.

The Blade armor, on the other hand, I have no love for. It's terribly generic, I never found a use for the charged saber, and the mach dash is too clunky to be an upgrade in mobility.

Also, a shout-out to X7's armor, which I really enjoyed.

I thought they were okay. It'd be interesting if there could be more shots on screen with faster fire rate and slightly wider and more random arc. Deal with swarms of stuff.

>and high jumps sound cool but they don't have that much of a use.

I think that's a stage design issue. Also, maybe it'd be cool if you could dash as many times as you want and never fall down, just like you don't slide down walls.

>Nice charge shot though.

Fuck yes m8. The saber is also good, it's faster. Jumping slash is broken.

>I never found a use for the charged saber

Maybe it could be stronger and fire a sonic boom.

I do enjoy X6, it's one of my favorite X games. I think it's a bit unfairly hated on, especially by people who don't know how to handle Blaze Heatnix's stage. X6 isn't so difficult when you're using your weapons right, which is a complete u-turn from how you could nuke everything with the mega/X buster in previous games. I'm not arguing that X6 is well designed, I'm just saying it takes a lot more finesse to suceed than usual for a MM game.

Innovation is associated with success you autistic retard, if your shitty idea flopped it isn't innovation. World's full of shitty inventors and shitty ideas like those they put into X5, actual innovation is very few

If anything X6 is the innovative one, it finally fixed some of the shit that was clumsily implemented by X5, but even that's a bit of a stretch because certain parts are all shit in their own way.

My opinion is kinda tainted because I didn't have a console as a kid until the PS1 so I started the X series with 4, but I still really like it. That being said, X3 is a much better game and I really do like the series. X5 was kinda....lazy, I tried to like it but I never got into it like I did the others, and the stages just felt poorly designed. X6 was just bad. X7 was terrible.

X6 is a much better game than X5.

X6 just has shitty stage design and can lead to some infuriating difficulty when it comes to trying to save everyone.

X5 has this stupid timer where you have finite time to get some shitty weapon to destroy something, its bullshit and one of the reasons X5 is a complete joke.

As for the stats that's just X5 and X6 having a ranking system sort of, can be safely ignored unless you care about it, also I think it has something to do with how the boss levels may be calculated, but who the fuck cares.

You know what would make a good Megaman Game? Something like Saints Row IV. A sandbox with missions that involve a bunch of cool building climbing, hovering, shooting shit with random powers, and the occasional vehicle.

You know why Megaman died? They never introduced good shooting/fighting mechanics past X4, they stopped introducing cool powers to steal, they never put in co-op, they never figured out how to do 3d well.

X7 was done in 3D to mix things up I guess, but it was horrible, X8 is ok as it went with 2.5D and retained most of the feel of the X series.

X5 and X6 are detailed throughout the thread, but X5 is mostly just riddled with garbage design decisions, while X6 is incredibly difficult but only because of horrible stage design. X6 does have excellent music though, I would argue best in the series, but thats about its only redeeming feature.

Just going through the X collection myself, I had already played the games waaay back (bought the US carts of 1-2-3 on their respective release days and you wouldn't fucking believe it, I've actually GIVEN THEM AWAY to a friend of mine when my us snes stopped working and I was going through a "meh, video games" phase)
I've always considered it one of my favorite video game series and I wanted to see how it held up years after.

X1: amazing game, tons of fun, great stages, great bosses, awesome music, bit on the easy side but that's fine, some parts are still a challenge (Sigma last form).

X2: An improvement on the X1 formula. Great stages, great bosses (now with special attacks!), more secrets, the inclusion of optional bosses (X-hunters) is a fantastic idea. Great music, nice colorful graphics. Too bad it's way easier than X1 (either that or the new augmented buster is broken). 9.5/10 would play again

X3: Mixed feelings about this one: bosses lack charisma, too many enemies require you to stop and wait for them to be vulnerable, killing all momentum (whereas 1&2 encouraged to rush through the stages and damn it was FUN), stage themes are a big stepdown, and this is where capcom started going crazy with all the secrets within the secrets (parts AND special part chips BUT WAIT if you skip all the chips then you have the golden armor!! also robots). Zero was cool though, Vile was cool, bosses were actually hard if you went buster only.

X4: Definitely an improvement over X3, stage designs are better and offer more variety, less useless gimmicks, difficulty feels right, great music again. Stages tend to go on for too long though imo. Cutscenes are laughably bad but who gives a shit.

X5: What the fuck. How could it go so wrong? Alia keeps interrupting to give useless info and her post boss fight dialogue goes on forever. The guy who came up with the time limit idea should be shot in the head. Going for a 100% is a fucking ordeal. Waaaay too many secrets (hearts+sub tanks+4 fucking armors+all those parts bullshit). Stages are just bad, too many rage moments (fighting the U555 everytime I had to go through that deep sea stage was so fun! also I am NEVER doing that jet stage again in my life). Story feels too dark compared to the rest of the series. Fuck this game.

About to play X6 and get it over with but I have doubts, I remember it being just painful to play...

The only thing X6 has going for it is cool armors. The levels are full of fake difficulty, and the final stage in particular is very poorly designed. The "timer" in X5 isn't even an issue if you have half a brain.

X4 is completely dependent on whether you are a fan of zero or not. It was the first game that really solidified what Zeros gameplay style should be, as opposed to the shitty treatment he got in X3 where it was clear the designers really didn't know how to implement him. That's why some people consider it the best X game. It's a subjective thing, like most tastes. Quell your autism.

I couldn't bring myself to finish X6. It's just so bad and annoying. everyone stage has a shitty gimmick and I can't imagine how someone could think Blaze Heatnix stage was a good idea. Even the rest of the stages just reeks of bad design. It's nit hard, it's just bad. Fuck that game. It's everything that was wrong with X5 (minus the time limit) times 10, and X5 was very shitty to begin with.

Exactly.

Thinking about it, I find it pretty strange how Capcom kept shitting sequels about everything back then when they are so anal about numbers now.

So I just started X4 last night, really like the synths firing off everywhere in the soundtrack. First thing I did was beat the walrus boss. Is it just me or is wall-jumping worse in X4 than it was in X1? Seems way clunkier, but I was playing as Zero for the change-up.

X5 was the original cutoff, but even up until Command Mission is considered canon, from a technical point of view.

Zero being placed into stasis confirms at least up until X6, and as for Command Mission;

It's tenuous at best, but the Zero drama tracks confirm the existence of "Final Strikes" in that continuity.

I loved playing as Zero so X4-X6 were a blast for me. I never understand why people hate so much on the man with the saber. I admit that the boss and level designs weren't as consistently good as in the first three, but when they were good, they were really fucking good.

There's a Metroidvania Megaman X fangame being made, all with custom graphics and music:

It's a fangame, but it looks SO good it might as well be official. The Music while all original really looks like something out of the X games, and the sprite work is SUPERB.

They actually experienced a lot during that era. X7 even being such a failure, spawned x8. And x8 was a good game (not just decent, but good). But the ps2 era wasnt kind at all for sidescrollers as they became more and more a niche genre specially outside japan.
I also have a major dislike for axl voice actor and his voices in x8 tho.

Bullshit, it's decent at best and boring at worst. It's overrated because it came out after X6 and X7 that were horrendous but it's still a bad game.

It's a platform game with almost no platforming, just gimmicks and minigames, you could add co-op and tweak the stages a little and you'll have Mega Man X Party.

X8 was enjoyable. And there is a considerable amount of platforming in some stages only, most it was mostly a game with emphasys on action and Im ok with that. They did some experimentation in that game with the character swapping, My major complaint with that game is the voice acting and some lame OHKO boss bullshit.
Whats with the "party" thing tho? Isnt this the same board that idolizes smash bros 64?

The whole butthurt over megaman legends 3 sounded like a lot of hypocrisy because that game flopped hard outside japan and received mixed reception by purist fans.
