Unpopular opinions thread

Outside of a couple of moments, X6 is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.
Its also much better than X5.

I agree, actually. Both of the Gate's Lab's stages are pretty ridiculous if you're using X, and Rainy Turtloid's stage is the epitome of artificial difficulty if you play it with Infinity Mijinion's nightmare effect, but otherwise it's pretty good.

I think a lot of people just like to parrot what that guy said in that minimalist X6 playthrough without realizing that the majority of his complaints are directly in relation to his own retarded limitations he puts on himself.

Although I disagree that it's better than X5, personally. I love the feeling X5 has, especially the virus stages. It was a pretty great way to end the series, and I'm kind of biased against X6 for taking that away from it, I guess.

X5 is just as flawed as X6 in my opinion. The shit that is the Blaze Heatix stage is just as bad as the retared level 96 boss re-fights in X5 and outside of doing minimalist challenges nothing in X6 is impossible. Both X5 and X6 could have had some improvements to them, including the pants on head retarded armor system of those games. Also while X4 is better than both games, it isn't immensely better nor is it the defining X game people make it out to be (in my opinion anyways). Playstation era X games are roughly the same in quality as SNES era X games.

The two aren't comparable at all. First off, the donuts have one simple pattern that is insanely easy to beat, just tedious if you're for whatever reason not abusing giga attacks. The level 96 boss refights actually take a little bit of skill, pattern recognition, and reflexes to get through, and there's no way to end the fights as quickly as the donuts. It's tedious, but also takes some skill to pull off, especially Squid Adler.

Dark Dizzy can go suck a dick, though, he's worse than the donuts.

The game is rushed. This is apparent in some stages of the games (most notablely BH) and features (you are suppose to unlock Black Zero if you fight Zero Nightmare @ Level 4, only that is impossible as the game is now). As >>682568 noted Hideofbeast hates the game as it is hard to do minimal runs with and people like to parrot him.

I'm stuck on the boss of Gate's Lab 1. I also don't like how this game introduced rescuing reploids to the series.

The control is a bit faulty, but it's still fun to control the characters, especially Zero. Also, as has been stated, the music is very good, especially Infinity Mijinion's. I once had it as my cell phone ringtone.

I think, as is the case with most games, it's a mix of good and bad.

Megaman 7 is a great game with lots of fun, secrets and collectibles.

Star Fox for SNES is a much better packaged than 64 in terms of atmosphere, music and challenge.

The Ice Cavern in OOT was way more tedious and irritating than the Water Temple.

SotN is pretty boring after the first playthough, and the Inverted Castle didn't really add much to the game aside from a few nifty boss fights.

I like Megaman Zero 4 better than 3, and feel it's a better ending point for that series.

X8 is the second best Megaman X game, the varied level designs and tag team system breathe some fresh life into a series on the verge of death.

Super Ghouls N' Ghosts was too easy, even on Professional with 3 lives.

The main reason why X5>X6 is the level design.
Every level has to have some kind of gimmick.

>Commander Yammark
The only level that does not have some retarded gimmick
>Ground Scaravich
Does portals and those damm totems.
>Blaze Heatnix
All those boring(slighty unfair), too much hp bosses
>Blizzard Wolfang
Those ice blocks and take cover for ice blocks sections.
>Rainy Turtloid
Hp drain rain.
>Metal Shark Player
That fucking squash thing.
>Shield Sheldon
Those lasers
>Infinity Mijinion
The constant attacks from the boss(almost) the whole stage.

And if the stage is in "nightmare" mode dont even bother unless you have beaten the game before.

And dont get me started on the whole "MISSING", "LOST" thing with those nightmare monsters.

>lel x6 has gimmicky levels

X5 has WOW, a goddamn laboratory stage! A jungle stage! An airport stage! Final sigma is a big-ass faggot! We've never seen this before in the series! It was only in the last game which was from so long ago... Oh hey! Rehashed final bosses from previous games too!

Seriously though...

X5 has a fucking train with timed escape sequences and xboxhueg instakill drills. Also, it's on a fucking train. Just like X4. Only shit.

X5 has a fucking cart section which makes you collect fucking energy capsule things on trial and error. Didn't you just love nabbing that heart tank in X4? We heard you, and made a whole section out of that entire concept. Because we're master game designers. We also made the bestest, most awesomest shit in the game: fucking door puzzles.

X5 has a volcano stage with lava that kills you at regular intervals, which synergises just great with the annoying bitch forcibly interrupting all the fucking time.

X5 has a fucking space stage which apparently lags your console to hell or just slows down time, can't fucking tell the difference. Also makes you ride a slow-ass cart over bottomless pits as if this was fucking Mega Man 3. It also had the shitty lel invert gravity gimmick.

X5 had the fucking whale midboss bullshit, which was quite frankly even worse than X6's doughnut bosses. It's just mind-bogglingly slow and annoying.

Also, all of X5's armors are shit, except for the Falcon armor. The levels are annoying and X's weapons are generic shit. Zero's got one or two good weapons and that's it.

X5 is a shit game. It's a shitty version of X4, rendered somewhat memorable due to X vs. Zero, falcon armor and Inafune's preaching.

I'd take X6 over it any day. X5 is above only X7.

I agree. I love the battle system. It made for a lot more strategy than most RPGs did at the time and still do. It's a shame it was bashed by people who just want to press Attack and <insert strongest spell here> over and over. But that will always make Chrono Cross a unique game.

I like HideofBeast and I can respect him, but I think that he's kind of wrong here. Just because the game gives you the option to play buster only no weapons no anything doesn't mean that it's designed to do exactly that. X6 was designed for people to use weapons and armors just like the other games were but to a further extent.

X4 is still my favourite but I can accept his reasoning as to why he thinks X is best

Never played the latter two games, but really agreed on Advance Guardian Heroes. Course, Beat-em-ups in the PS2/GBA era in general were really given an unfair shake.

Own proposals:
>Battle Heat for the PC-FX is underrated, and it's actually a lot easier to figure out than it looks.
>The difference in quality between PC-Engine CD Dracula X and SNES/SFC Dracula XX is greatly exaggerated by the fanbase. They're a lot more similar than some like to admit. Also the SFC version of the soundtrack is superior, the dance arranges the PCE-CD version lack any arcade umph.

Did you play Soul Reaver 2? As much as I hate how obviously rushed the latter portion of the game was, I like how the series ended up compared to the original vision.

I agree with most of this. I disliked a whole lot of X5. I don't hate the game, but there were so many parts I wish I could just flat out skip.

They were either boring as hell, unnecessarily frustrating, or needlessly drawn-out to extend game time. The whole Guns n Roses schtick made the boss names sound silly to the point you couldn't take them seriously (and in a Mega Man game that's saying something), the weapon mechanics were uncreative, and god DAMN did I hate a game as fast-paced and action-oriented as Mega Man X be hard stopped so some bitch can tell me something I probably could figure out in the following two seconds.

It all made for a terribly mediocre game from which I could say I only got my money's worth and not a cent more. And seeing as how I only paid $15 for way back when, that's well below the amount of enjoyment X1-X4 gave me.

Many MMO's attempt to (and fail) copy the success that is WoW.

What's there to like? Cartoony graphics? Achievements? Flavor of the month PVP?

WoW came out in 2004 (or maybe 3?), so its almost 10 years old and nothing has come along yet to beat it in sales and numbers.

Since its userbase won't accept anything less than what's currently given to them, the MMO CG community is stagnant and we won't see the next big thing until this horse is finally put to stud.

That one's actually my favorite of the X games. Sure Zero was mostly useless once X got all his crap together, but he was mostly there to help out in a jam, which is why they don't let you rely on him the entire level.

Being able to summon different kinds of walkers was also neat, even if one of them was rather gimmicky.

No one in their right mind would go for one of the pink capsules though, once they knew about the gold armor.

X3 was just mediocre. X6 at least was hard, and X5 had it's moments.

X3 was basically X2 only not as well tuned and not as fun to run through.

That said, my favorite X game is probably X4- I like how it plays, and being able to play Zero also makes it more replayable for me. I like both characters, and having a more distinct playstyle for a second character makes me more likely to replay it.

That said? I generally prefer the classic series. I can't comment on the Zero series, because I haven't actually played them yet.

Brofist, OP. I started replaying X5 for the first time in forever a little while back and it's more or less as I remember it; okay. Definitely one of the less impressive X games. It's no X1 or X4 by any means, but at least X6 is distinctive in its bullshit difficulty. X5's distinctive feature is some end of the world timer that doesn't even matter since they give you 16 chances to clear 8 levels. X5 Falcon Armor is pretty beast though, I'll give it that.

I thought that ending was great.
As a matter of fact, i saw Soul Reaver as a whole very fulfilling because of the things you do; You kill your brothers, find a lot of nifty things that are not critical, but very helpful, the puzzles and platforming was good, even when frustrating at times, you roam around the ruinds of Nosgoth, finding new paths as you gain abilities... I didn't even think about how the ending was until now.

>Absorbing Kain and Ariel into the Reaver

>Those things left as only background, like vampires modyfing the environment to live better under the day.

The first ideas were amazing, but as you say, it's better how it spawned other games to extend the storytelling.
The only thing i have against the sequels made by Eidos is how the gameplay was slowly taking other directions; the roaming and platforming changing into a more straightfoward and almost like a beat-em-up wasn't my thing.

I dunno, I really think the stages in 5 are really fun, and the bosses are fun too and have really cool patterns that feels good to master.

I love doing buster-only runs on 5.

Their patterns don't really take much to master, they're about as complicated as 1 and 2's, and by this point, most of the robot masters had alot more varied attacks.

I'm not ashamed to admit this, because back when I was a younger thing, I just cared about having fun. The difficulty becomes manageable when you have him and he's really fun to play and power up. I can understand how some parts would be a little more frustrating with X, but I think if you've never played X6 and want to give it a shot, try using Black Armor Zero from the start. Then if you like it and feel like a challenge, play it again as X. Yeah it's the mistake child game that shouldn't have been, but it's got the best music and can be fun if you don't be a bitch about it.

The nightmare effects aren't random, you control which ones affect which levels if you're paying attention even the slightest bit. Of the nightmare effects, only Blaze Heatnix's can be considered random since the meteors do fall in random order.

Nightmares themselves are located in specific spots except in Ground Scaravich's level, which is based entirely around the random gimmick.

That's not a "metric fuckton" of random bullshit, that's a handful and a stage. So yes, you do suck at video games.

I'm talking about the entire thing, and how it randomly chooses different stages, making some of them near impossible because of their shitty design. Not to mention that if some stages get hit by nightmare, it becomes almost impossible to rescue some reploids, and guess what, if the wrong reploid gets killed, the rest of the game is completely pointless and almost impossible, again because of the shitty design.
hating a game due to lazy amounts of fake difficulty doesn't mean your bad at games, it means the game itself is godawful

Except there isn't a single stage in the game that is near impossible? If you think any stage is near impossible, again, you're just bad at video games.

>Not to mention that if some stages get hit by nightmare, it becomes almost impossible to rescue some reploids
That is a valid complaint, but again, the nightmare effects are in your control. There are two nightmare effects for each stage for a reason.

>if the wrong reploid gets killed, the rest of the game is completely pointless and almost impossible
Good thing Zero is there since it's entirely possible to beat the game with him completely part-less.

>fake difficulty
Oh boy, here we go. The only fake difficulty comes from the spotlight nightmare effect, which is shit. Everything else, however lazy, isn't "fake difficulty", but the fact that you're even using that term makes it pretty goddamn obvious that you have no idea what it means and are just using it because you don't want to admit that you're just awful at the game.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to beat it someday if you practice enough.

Ground Scaravich is possibly the worst level in a Mega Man game.

That level is unambiguously terribly designed, the gimmick is obnoxious, and it's just unfun.

And have fun claiming GET GUD, cause I've beaten the game on Extreme and I fucking cringe whenever I get to doing Ground Scaravich's stage.

The only one that might be worse is Blaze Heatnix's marathon of tedium. It's not even hard, it's just boring.

Nothing in X6 is in your control, from the nightmare system, to the fact that it's entirely possible to never be able to get some upgrades, due most of them random bullshit hoops to jump through.

Look, I somewhat agree with him, and I'm not saying X6 is perfect- I would put it sharing the number 4 slot with X5 as far as X games go behind X2, X, and X4- but it had it's merits and it definitely could have been a good game had more time been invested in it.

That said, X6 has some terrible levels- Scaravich, Heatnix, and Shield Sheldon being the worst offenders- but it also had some good stages like Blizzard Wolfang and Metal Shark Player.

X6 is not a bad game- it's just unpolished and should never have been released in such a state.

That said, they also introduced a lot of things I thought the series could do without, like day/night mechanics, happiness-based evolutions, the roaming legendaries, etc.

It's a good detail, putting random stuff that doesn't make any sense in your game if you're not selling it is completely fine, but people paid for it.

It doesn't even take any effort at all. Hell, why give them names in the first place? They could just put a counter and that would have made more sense, and they would be wasting time.

Do you mean to ask what item forces you to die if you get it with Zero? The reploid in the portal area in Blizzard Wolfang's stage across the very long spike pit.

>X4=X5

Nope, NOPE.

All the reused elements like the Speeder bike level and 4 piece armors were done worse, the ranking system is a kick in the dick for completionists and people who might want a bad rank somewhere for a certain part, and the time limit is pointless, especially since you can RANDOMLY succeed or fail each event occasionally(though rarely) even if you get everything or nothing.

The Sigma stages are probably one of the few things I liked about that game, especially the one with the Quick Beams and Black Devil.

The other thing I liked about the game is that you can use X AND Zero, but even that is done silly, as Zero loses a crappy buster he can only use while standing still, but X loses AN ENTIRE ARMOR, the one from X4 with most of its features, which means the game ends up with a massively disparate difficulty depending on who you start with.

Speaking of the Zero Buster, I found that a LOT more useful in X6 for some reason. Also, while a lot of people complain about the nightmare effects, I find they make stages you might revisit for crap a lot more interesting, but that's just me. I can't say the stage design is any better than X5's though.

This is such a retarded statement. Look, I think X5's stages are all largely boring and unmemorable, but to say that they're rehashes to the point of not being designed is retarded beyond words. Grizzly Slash's stage is obviously ripping off the train theme of Slash Beast's stage, but the two play out very differently. X5's rendition is more boring, yeah, but you're fucking braindead if you think they're the same thing.

I never enjoyed any Zelda games.

A link to the past is a passable time waster for a top down hack & slash but none of them have any worthwhile story or interesting gameplay elements. They're the Angry Birds of video games. And always have been. They may update graphics and may make you a wolf. But it's still the same bland lifeless game over and over.

I think emulation, with rare exceptions, is generally superior to native hardware in this day and age if all you want to do is play the game. We're reaching the point where the systems are finally dying and with the recent retro trend, prices are going up way too fast for "authentic" retro gaming to be reasonably priced.

I'm glad Capcom seems to have given up on the Megaman series for now. The franchise got far to over saturated and I think Capcom should take the Star Trek route, leave the franchise to rest for a few years, whet our appetites and then bring on the reboot. It doesn't even have to be a full on reboot, it should be like the X series was to the main series

I hated Majora's Mask. I hated the three day time limit because I felt it didn't allow me to explore at my leisure. I hated having to wait in places

for shit to happen and I didn't give a shit about the NPCs or their "stories". I hated how you had to be a shitty Deku Scrub in the beginning,

limiting your ability to explore and fight. The entire game felt like one big sidequest that I had to complete just to get back to Hyrule and play a

good Zelda game. And before anyone brings up other Zelda games not taking place in Hyrule, I don't like any of the non-3D ones besides LttP and

I really dislike Megaman 2. I think it's the bastard child of the classic series, and has no feeling of cohesiveness. Also, the palette is butt ugly. Everyone quotes it as a labor of love, given the circumstances, but the fact is it was cobbled together and rushed after-hours and it shows.

It is superior. Only hard core nostalgiafags use real hardware.

With emulation, the sky's the limit. You can save anywhere. You can play ROM hacks. You can use filters. You can record yourself playing. There's no memory limit. Given the right emulator, you can code your own achievement system if you can and want to.

Not OP, but I agree with you. I don't like how they had to split the game in two, Sonic 3 was long enough as it is, and Tails just makes the game ridiculously easy, whether you use him alone or with Sonic. Not that doing Sonic 3 with Sonic alone was that difficult. Knuckles being playable was great, but nothing jaw dropping.

I've beaten the damn thing before in one sitting, which is probably not worth doing.

Sonic & Knuckles was definitely better to me than Sonic 3, but I still prefer Sonic 2 to either one. S&K can be played standalone, and it's probably better to do it that way unless you want Hyper Sonic badly for some reason, being able to do the final battle with just the chaos emeralds from 3 makes it too easy and a lot longer than it has to be at the same time.
