Not much. I mean, the RNG to destroy the colony is stupid and Alia sucks. It's a masterpiece compared to either 6 or 7.

When I played this game like 6 months ago for the first time in my life, believe it or not, I destroyed it first try. I thought my MM X5 ISO was rigged or something because I heard the chances of the operation succeeding were really low

Not making the game about X vs Zero's a pretty missed point, when they're trying to make a finale to the X series.Something that had been built up since X3 boils down to, canonically, X and Zero arguing over who should go back to base.

Give me a final boss fight that goes through 3 phases and has Zero losing more and more of his sanity during it until he's just barefisted and using parts of the environment like when he woke up in X4's flashbacks.

It was meant to advertise GBA Megaman Zero spinoff, that was all there was to it. Making a definite ending to a cashcow franchise is a dumb financial move.

squid adler's stage sucked ass

and if i didn't have the weakness it looks like he would've sucked too
plus what's the deal with only being able to use the armors if you have the whole armor?

It's possible to destroy it immediately with a super small chance. Apparently on the non-collection versions, there's some speedrun level trick to make it happen 100% of the time
I was pretty much on my latest collection run when I tried it with Zero and with all stages beaten it would fail. Then Zero died, which he had taken 100% of the items thus far, and I had to finish it with an underpowered X

A ton but listening to this based song right now. Might be my favorite song of the entire series or even the whole franchise itself.

To be honest, none of the X games after X2 are very good. People jerk off X4 so much but it’s got awful special weapons, horrible balancing issues between X and Zero playthroughs, very shallow level design, and a moronic story.
It belongs with X3 and X5 onward as being considered the “bad X games”.

>RNG determines the ending. Granted 9/10 the shuttle will always work with you have all the parts but the fact there’s a chance it won’t is shitty as hell

>Dynamo just shows up, fights you and then leaves
>the big climatic battle with Zero that’s been hyped up since X3 is instigated purely because Zero refuses to get tested for the virus so X decides to kick the shit out of him
>levels are designed terribly, just as bad as X6. McWhalen, Adler and Glow in particular are fucking abysmal
>Dr Wily randomly shoehorned into the plot
>armor upgrades utterly break the game in half. The Falcon armor trivialises nearly every stage and the Gaea armor makes certain bosses and stages total jokes
>extra items are a pain to get. The Level system is never explained in game properly and the conditions surrounding it are vague and stupid
>now have to collect the full armor set before you can equip it
>game is laughably easy. It throws extra lives at you like they’re going out of style and it refills your weapon energy every time you die, effectively making the weapon tank utterly useless
It’s bad.

When they're the follow up to nes megamen they are bad the same way to a lesser extend All Stars is bad compared to nes Mario games.
