X is a peacemaker, not a pacifist. Sure he regrets having to kill people to save people, but he does so after the job is done. If there's even one innocent person's life at stake, it's charged shot diplomacy and that's the end of it.

X ended 8 wars single handedly, you mongrelized retard. He even says that he'd rather be shot dead than become a Maverick in X4. Meanwhile Zero is crying over a girl he killed because that's apparently more important than stopping a massive orbital extermination weapon.

>> No.9819949

>>9819941
Yup, but he gets bad about it later down the road.
Squid Adler, though, calls him hypocrite, saying that X secretly, deep down, enjoys the thrill of battle. Would certainly explain Fefnir existing, since he is a fragment of X's personality.

X1, 2 and 3 are all on X. X4 was also on X since Zero was busy with Iris. X5's canon ending is literally X killing Sigma again and saving Zero from becoming a Maverick. X6 is mostly X operating alone until he manages to bring Zero back from the dead. X7 clearly shows that X is 90% of the Maverick Hunters' effectiveness and that shit doesn't get better until he's back in office.

You and still like these games and admit that the next one wasn't as good as the previous one, no shame in that. I've replayed the first half of the series and I'm astounded at how much X4 didn't hold up. I think it's problem was tailoring to a second playstyle instead of focusing just on jump'n'shoot, and it came during the Great 90's Anime Boom and kids were blown away at the cutscenes at the time. Ignore the presentation and as a game it just doesn't have that much meat on it, at least when Capcom switched to those cheap slideshows it was more reresentative of the games.
X5 was boring and X6 was frustrating, and X7 was both boring AND frustrating.

Classic. Almost every single entry is a quality game; The same can't be said for X where the quality is just completely all over the place. Hell, you could argue X goes downhill after X1 and I'd be inclined to agree with you.

>X5 was a good ending for the series

See, I know that was the intention on Inafunes end and most people seem to think that it serves as the finale, but I've never felt it really hits the mark as a conclusive story entry. Part of the problem is every supposed climactic event has already been done by the series anyway or already rendered moot.

>Wily is nebulously implied to be back

Serge already existed in X2. And again, he has no real presence or explanation how or why so it doesn't even matter if he's actually back.

>X and Zero fight
This already happened in X2.

>Zero is actually a Maverick
X4 already revealed this.

>Zero dies
He's been dead before, hell the first game ends on this. And even then, he still came back (As does every Maverick you fight twice) so I'm not sure why Zero dying in X5 is supposed to have any gravitas when death is evidently just a minor inconvenience for reploids.

All X5 does is reuse story moments the series had already done before but it doesn't actually do anything new with these - It feels completely impotent as a story entry since the status quo of the world is essentially completely unchanged by the end of the game regardless of which ending you have. We don't even conclusively defeat Sigma or anything - everything is just a retread of prior X game ending with the exception that this time we are supposed to assume Zero is dead for realsies.

tl;dr fuck X5s plot, its an awful finale that makes no sense and resolves nothing

Nifty. The OG series has, for lack of a better word, clunkier controls while X is more "fluid" feeling, almost like arcade Strider cosplaying as a MegaMan game. It's good but controls so fundamentally differently from the OG series that it just doesn't feel like a 'true' MegaMan game to me. Wall jumping is nifty, tho.

Mega Man OG in some part is X and you cant tell me otherwise. After Proto-Zero busts up the joint, Light backs up and integrates a damaged Rock's memory/developed AI into hodgepodge of programming that makes up the true freewill of X and acts as his "conscious" and was the missing piece needed to develop free will in machines.
