What about 7 is supposed to be shit other than the initial unskipabble cutscene and Megaman's sprite size (which I didn't mind)?

Mega Man X evolved the series and pushed it into doing things it could never do on NES. MM7 is a gigantic step backward in this case, something about it just feels overly simplistic on SNES where it doesn't on NES. It's hard to explain.

>> No.4992889

>>4992870
Literally nothing. People will find any mindless reason to complain about it just because it's not on the NES. They complain about the simplicity of it, as if that's anything different from the previous games. They complain about the items and level exploration, as if the previous 3 games hadn't incorporated it as well. They complain about the sprite size, as if the game doesn't adjust for it. Etc., etc.

Being an uninspired cookie-cutter entry to the series that barely does anything to justify its existence is a legitimate complaint. MM5 and MM6 are the same way. In fact, the only reason MM7 is better than those is because of Bass and the sheer number of items to find.

>> No.4992960

>>4992924
Every game except 2 is an uninspired cookie-cutter entry to the series that barely does anything to justify its existence.
3 adds the slide and doc robot then does everything else the same as it was done in 2.
4 adds the charge shot and the collectables then does everything else the same as it was done in 2 and 3.
5 adds fucking nothing and does everything the same as it was done in 2, 3, and 4.
6 adds the adapters and then does everything the same as it was done in 2, 3, 4, and 5.

The entire series is mindless shit like this where each entry just appeals to a specific breed of autism. The X series is objectively better

>> No.4992998

>>4992960
3's sliding fundamentally changes how you play the game, its level design and enemies. It also added Rush, which made you tackle challenges in new ways. Plus it was only the third game so nothing felt stale at the time.

4's charge shot, again, makes you think about challenges in new ways, plus it had two fortresses and an actual storyline.

Also, you're a fool if you think X is exempt from cookie-cutter nonsense, because X3 doesn't have one goddamned iota of originality besides Zero being playable (as an unwieldy piece of shit who dies forever and locks you out of the good ending after only one life) and the ride armors and enhancement chips (all of which are completely pointless because of the gold armor).

Hell, X4 adds fuck-all besides Zero. X's playthrough has absolutely nothing new. The only reason people name X4 as their favorite is because Zero is so much fun to play.

>> No.4993765

>>4992620
They're nice but the only thing arguably better in the "demakes" are the bossfights, especially for 8.

Otherwise, 7 sucks because the change of scale renders the game incredibly empty and easier.
In 8 they outright deleted entire stages segments, and yet sill managed to end up making things which wouldn't have been possible as such on NES.

>> No.4993940

I despise demakes, no matter how bad a game can be(I'm looking at you 8) it's still worth to try and move forward instead of stagnating in 8bit limbo forever.

I was very happy when they revealed MM11 and it looked like a new game instead of a shameless 8 bit cashgrab.
Only wish that they used the Smash Mega Man model.

5 adds the bird, the M tank, and makes the charge shot OP. It's also the first which has a stage focused on non platforming (jetski), which then became a staple

8 is like the Famicom games but with better graphics, 7 is like the Famicom games but with a crap ton more of content, both are great but in my humble opinion 7 is better, only because it has more shit to do.
