MMX1. It's perfect.

X2 drops off in quality, but is still a tolerable.

After that, the series becomes unplayable. X3 is laughably bad so you might check that out for a giggle. Literally everything in that one seems to have been made wrong on purpose. X4 is pathetic and shit. X5 even worse. The X series has ONE good game and don't believe otherwise.

How does X2 drop off in quality from X1? I thought the stages made better use of X's natural abilities and had more interesting gimmicks than X1 had, that and bosses that were slightly more demanding in skill.

Agree with you on X3 though, that game just feels off. Long stages, enemies are spongey, the ride armors are useless and the arm upgrade is fucking awful.

X1 is great.
X2 is great, though some of the levels are too short, especially ones where they introduce a special mechanic, only for you to barely get a chance to use it.
X3 is great, but there's almost too much going on relative to the type of game (collectibles which you barely have a chance or need to use)
X4's revamped playstyle is not as fun or as tight as X1-X3, but the levels have a bit more meat on them, and the aesthetics are amazing if you enjoy mid-90s anime.
X5 is meh, basically feels like a bargain bin X4.
X6 is bargain bin X5.
X7 is headache inducing.
X8 was better than X7.

X1-X3 are great, X4 is alright, I think X5-X6 are also really good. It's better to play X5 with a patch, though the newest versions have some bad changes (like Zero being nerfed, which makes him less fun to play as) so it's better to download an older version if you do.

If you only play one, make X1. Its almost unanimously considered the best entry.

If you are still hankering for more afterwards, X2 is still great but is not as polished as 1.

Anything after this is personal preference. If you want more X, just keep going but be wary that quality will vary wildly.

For my two cents, I rank them

X1>X2>X3>X6>X5>X4=X8>dogshit>X7

And honestly, outside of X7 which is a genuine dumpster fire, they are all perfectly playable.

A lot of games get the "le worst game ever" award, but trust me anon; Yes, X7 is THAT fucking bad.

I 100% applaud it for trying something different but it honestly has exceedingly few redeeming qualities. If you are a fan of Kusoge or just a hardcore MM fan who wants to see everything in the series, X7 is worth it for the morbid curiousity alone - but make no mistake; Its genuinely fucking awful.

I probably will at some point. I just feel like Mega Max X has such tight game design. There's no bloat. There's just enough items to make you feel like you're powering up. The game is only as challenging as you want it to be. It doesn't overstay it's welcome. The game saves progress at exactly right intervals for me. You feel like you're replaying levels because you want to. Not because you're being forced to. The levels aren't very long. The final boss rush is broken up just right. No having to play through a half dozen bosses in a row without progress being saved. This is exactly how long, how difficult, and how much content I want out of a game.

Tried out X2 today and it's really not grabbing me like X1. The intro level. The first few stages I tried. It all just kind of annoyed me which is weird because I just finished the first game and quite enjoyed it. I don't know. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for another one. Makes me wonder if there are some anons here that only like the first game. Only other Mega Man game I beat was the original NES one, but that one was hard as fuck. Not sure I want to play more classic Mega Man either because of that.

I also prefer X5 and X6 over X4.
>>9394997
X2 is a different game from X1, one that is more designed to value searching items and figuring out how to use weapons, how to beat the game under various handicaps and more. For example, Snail's stage could have just been another Armadillo stage, but is instead focused on smaller alternate paths and how to use the Ride Armor to get as far as possible with it. If you don't like X2, it's fine to try another X or classic game instead. All of the NES ones after the first one are easier than the first and they're also fun games.

>The only ome that could do it was the Saturn for some odd reason.
Because the lead platform for X4, the X3 CD conversion, and arguably 8* was Saturn, so it's a wonder that it ported as well as they did to PlayStation.
* I could have sworn MM8 was a Saturn game that Sony demanded be rushed on their console at the eleventh hour which is why it was missing ingame features in favor of a throwaway booklet, but apparently the source that claimed that was really talking about Sony of America and the American release, which is supported by leaked early MM8 builds being the PlayStation version while the early MMX4 build was for Saturn, but I still can't imagine a scenario where MM8 was nearly Sony exclusive and MMX4 was nearly Sega exclusive, so I wonder what made them switch their development platform from PlayStation to Saturn and back to PlayStation. Did Capcom perceive the PlayStation as more worthy of the classic series and the Saturn as more of an X platform at some point? A little more research is needed...

Passwords track bosses defeated, armor pieces, heart and subtanks gained.
Any health you had in subtanks will disappear if you turn the game off, but it's pretty easy to grind the bats in the beginning of Armored Armadillo's stage for health and lives.
If somone felt like it, they could get a password to start the game with all powerups, heart and subtanks, with no bosses defeated. (Although I'm not sure how you could get the subtank in Spark Mandrill's stage without the Boomerang Cutter but that's besides the point.)
The only thing you can't get through the password system is the secret capsule In Armored Armadillo's stage.
I hope that answers your question.

Play them and see if you like 'em.
If you really need a recommendation that badly, I'd recommend X1 without hesitation. X2 is a good sequel, a little more explorative than X1 if you want to 100 percent, but also it's more of the same with a little extras sprinkled in. Would recommend.
X3 I could take it or leave it, Everything about it is just not as good as the last two games. Enemies take longer to defeat, kinda slowing the pace of the game down overall. Wouldn't recommend, and yet I've played the game more times than I'd care to admit, walked away feeling disappointed everytime.
X4 is alright playing as X, but even better as Zero.
The change in gameplay style for Zero is rather refreshing, but I suggest playing through as X to get a feel for the game before jumping into Zero's playthrough. Would recommend.
X5 I have kinda a softspot for, I love the soundtrack, but I feel like one playthrough of the game would be sufficient. Pick X. Starting with the fourth armor is super useful. X5 is Kinda frustrating at times, Especially if you want to 100 percent. The countdown mechanic is appreciated, but not executed well. Almost forgot about Alia, it's almost as if I don't want to remember. Kinda hard to recommend this one, but if you're patient it could be worth it.
X6, Unless you're a masochist, No.
X7, Unless you hate yourself, Hell no.
X8 I haven't played through yet, but since it's a return to form, I am a little excited to do so.
Xtreme 1 haven't played,
Xtreme 2 is a decent little title, might be worth a try.
Command Mission: If you don't mind jrpgs go for it. Pretty dope soundtrack. Zero and Steel Massimo's themes, sooooo good.
XDive: Get this gacha fanservice bullshit outta my face, and gimme another proper X game already!

not him but tone-wise they make it similar to the ater X games, yet there are strange story decisions like removing the postcredits implication of Sigma being a virus and intending to kill off Dr. Cain. Apparently Inafune was banking on MHX being successful so he can do a massive rewrite of the MMX sequels, but it obviously didn't pan out. Also apparently, Mega Man X Collection for PS2 & GCN was going to have a remixed music option and other bells and whistles ala Navi Mode in the previous collection, but Inafune caught wind of it and personally had them removed so he could save the content for his MHX sequels. Needless to say, didn't happen, and since Legacy Collection went with a different approach that's now lost. Thanks Inafune.
Powered Up is much better as a remake in my opinion.

MMX is legitimately one of those games that somehow nailed the formula perfectly in 1 and is actually the best one to start with not because "you have to play it first so you can tolerate the lack of QoL in later games". Just that good.

X2 is still very solid. X3 starts getting convoluted.

I still will never understand people who praise 4 though. Some YouTuber must've made a video for zoomers. The game is shit.

X5 has awful gimmicks but is actually fun to play.
X6 is also fun to play but has a different set of bad gimmicks. I think X6s gimmicks can be more easily fixed though (and patches exist to do so)

X7 is unsalavegable

I have legitimately played 1 through 8 as an adult, having only owned 1, 4, 6, (and 5 much later).
I can appreciate what 2 and 3 were going for. 5 and 6 definitely had flaws but I could see them to the end. X7 I dropped immediately but X4 was the only other one I actually could not bring myself to finish the first time around it was so un fun.

This nigger thinks x5 and x6 are better than x4 even though they had a fraction of the budget, out sourced a lot of the work and didn't even have the anime cut scenes

>just play 'em in order till you get sick of them. mega man is a great series for this method of play

It really is true, you can argue all day whether X6 is better than X5 or X4 worse than both o them but at the end of the day the differences between most are small enough that you can just play in release order and start getting shittier, so you just continue playing because you want to play something new even if it's not as good though things do improve with X8 a bit.
It really is the same with the original MM series

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 8 16:31:37 2022 No.9398968 >>9398903 It's hilarious that despite all that you don't mention actual gameplay, kek. You know, the most important part of a video game. X5 and X6 clearly had a better engine refined from X4.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 8 16:48:20 2022 No.9398994 >>9398926 No man, let's not kid ourselves, X6 is fucking garbage. But when you want more MMX even X6 is alright

Not that anon, but I genuinely prefer 5 and 6 to 4. Outside of introducing playable Zero, 4 does nothing interesting; It feels completely run of the mill. Polished to a T, but completely average. Its way too easy with a dumb dififculty spike at the very end, the level design is nothing to write home about with very linear level layouts with little verticality, and music is pretty forgettable.

Its not even nostalgia since I played all the X games back-to-back and in order via the X collection back in the day and enjoyed both 5 and 6 far more. Hell, I've even gone back to X4 on multiple occasions to try and get whats so great about it, and when the credits roll I'm still left feeling like its nothing special. I'd unironically rather replay X5 or X6.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 9 00:10:13 2022 No.9399936 Only 1 and 4 are must play. Different enough to be their own thing. The rest are inferior variations of the above.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 9 03:57:04 2022 No.9400251 >>9398410 X 4 has shit levels but a great boss roster...Come to think of it, all the PS1 X games had pretty shit level design (X 5 might've had the least shitty levels of the three, but you wouldn't know it from forced Alia nagging).

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 9 04:04:17 2022 No.9400263 >>9399803 >music is pretty forgettable Trying a little too hard there anon. It has the best X intro theme in the entire series, the evilest Sigma themes in the entire series and a great destitute-but-still-heroic feel to many of the songs.

Pretty much this; it feels like you're playing some mid-90s shounen OVA. I was born in the late 80s, and X4 was mindblowing for kid me back when it came out. It definitely has amazing music and graphics, and the cinematics give it a grander feel than the previous games, but I don't care for the gameplay as much as X1-X3.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 9 08:50:03 2022 No.9400962 After playing the Zero games, I always play X games with the dash assigned to L. It just feels weird with dash on a face button.

I think the only truly irredeemable games are XDive and the dead Rockman Xover, although I liked Arcade Man's theme in Xover. The fanservice is the only selling point as the game is really shit and feels like constant tutorials and a retarded collectathon. Xtreme 1 & 2 are still better than X6 & X7, but I am a bit of a masochist, so I do like them.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 9 23:42:43 2022 No.9402380 >>9400962 I didn't even know there was a dash button in Mega Man X until I had to do the dash jump for the hadouken and one of the other power ups. I felt like an idiot because I had already beat all the robot masters by that point.
