If it weren't for the nightmare virus and blaze heatnix's stage and MAYBE infinity mijion's boss fight stage, it will wouldn't be a bad game.

i personally rate it higher than x5, if only for the soundtrack alone. i can't think of a bad song from that game.

>nightmare virus
Maybe
>heatnix's stage
Definitely
>mijinion's fight
git gud.

>Blaze Heatnix
I honestly can't think of any MM stage in the entire franchise that I hate more than this, other than maybe the acid rain level where you can have to have pixel perfect accuracy to dash throw spike tunnels.

*Through

>Sup Forums likes X6 now
What the fuck happened? Is this a new meme or something?
I'm ok with this because I enjoy replaying this game a lot

What was his purpose in X6? He just fights you and runs away before he dies.

The only fights I would probably change are High Max and Nightmare Mother. Former is annoying (if not impossible?) if you casually stumble upon him the first time without having proper weakness weapons, and the latter is just a pain without some of the parts or armors. Infinity Mijinion isn't too bad in contrast.

Easy soul-grinding.

As far as story goes, he was just collecting nightmare souls for profit because why not.

This.
You even get dynamo's hype music.

Oh, and of course make Sigma an actual challenge.

and all the gate stage bosses
worst in the series

I for the life of me cant figure out how anyone can defend the five minute fight that is gate

Lots of people on Sup Forums have always liked X6. Sure the game is flawed as fuck, but it's also very replayable. I still go back to it every once in a while.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting his fight also exists.

Though I contribute that to me liking his fight theme.

its not the worst game ever but in a series of pretty great games its pretty underwhelming
it just has a shitload of problems that make everyone say "just play a different one"

Bringing the bantz.

It's Sup Forums's contrarian ways at work. Lots of people rightfully dislike X6 and more people declare it the worst game in the series, so Sup Forums has to champion it to stand out.

You can kind of tell people are playing devils advocate when most arguments are "its not bad if you ignore the problems" or "you dont like it because you think its hard"

How people can say X4 and 5 are better or in anyway more memorable than 6 is beyond me.

Just listen to this fucking boss music.
youtube.com/watch?v=5DiPFXKm4wc

Zero should have stayed dead in X1 honestly

The last part is what annoys me the most. This board's bizarre fetish for difficulty does not excuse shitty game design.

becuase the music is the only good part of the game

METAL

SHARK

PLAYER

Yeah, the music is great, but in every other way the game is inferior to every previous MMX game

Having good music doesn't fix the myriad of other problems that ruin the game.

How can Zero recover?

Ya I get it, it was a flawed game. But at least it was some what challenging compared to the forgettable snore fest that were 4 and 5.

I've never once thought "man, I sure would like to go back and replay megaman x4, what fun that will be!"

Meanwhile, I replay x6 once every few years. They just don't stack up.

it was challenging becuase it was badly and lazily designed
the problem is that its flaws are tremendous
just because you like to play bad games doesnt mean everyone else should agree with you

>X5
>good

He must hide to repair cry himself

Is this so bad? It's the only Megaman X that I played.

yes

...

next you'll be defending X3 and X7, christ.

0/10

X3 is flawed as fuck but don't fucking compare it to the unplayable mess that is X7. X3 is mediocre at most.

Is it bad that I enjoyed X5 the most?

Its the one I played the most too, though I can acknowledge some of the earlier titles were better in ways.

But then Megaman Zero?

It's fucking terrible, worst of the X series
>that capcom quality "translation"
>that story (What the fuck Zero why are you alive you were a torso my dude)
>that stupid nightmare system
>that fucking level where you teleport around and everything is terrible
>oh cool X has Zero's weapon that could be fun oh wait it's fucking shit
And I'm not even mentioning the last stages and the fucking terribad boss fights, like the gate one or that one stage where they throw you more donuts at you than Sunibee

hold up.
i have a fun time playing any megaman game, but have no problem agreeing with the many flaws other players point out over the years.
Always found X3 the game im worst at. So I would like to hear your words on these flaws sir.

>worst of the series
I understand your argument but its pretty debatable
7 was just as bad if not worse

>(What the fuck Zero why are you alive you were a torso my dude)

X2 did the exact same thing.

It has good music though. I mean just listen at this.

youtube.com/watch?v=i4fVnxtXAV8

X6, aside from having Zero perform a downwards diagonal move from up+attack while in midair, still has pretty tight controls and feels good to play. X7 on the other hand is a clunky mess, which in my book makes it worse of the two

3 was kind of a mess
shitty armor
zero (kind of) dies again for no real reason
weird and terrible bosses
hit and miss soundtrack
awkwardly designed levels
shitty armors

def not the worst in the series but its pretty low on the list

7 is less bad in my book just because at least they were trying something way different from the norm, but I can't deny that it's also absolutely terrible.

why doesn't Sup Forums like artificial difficulty?

sometimes the only way to ramp the challenge is to make the game unfair. I'm all for it, personally.

So I guess Wizardry IV is to your liking?

so? what's your point? X2 was actually a good game besides that, X6 wasn't

I understand the respect for trying something new but if you fail miserably at the execution imo it makes the game worse
I mean I cant tell you how much I hate that axel's SPECIAL TRANSFORM ABILITY is the most useless thing in the series

>tfw to good for the average Mega Man game
>tfw I enjoy X6 because it at least provides some challenge

fuck man, I play Mario hacks unironically. I did a level 0 run in Dark Souls NG+7 just because.

X3 is just a fucking mess.

-Repetitive stages
-Awkward boss battles that just fly around and spit projectiles at you
-Mostly terrible music, with exceptions
-Useless ride armor
-Useless X armors
-Uninspired weapons
-Top X-Buster upgrade actually NERFS you
-Zero is shit and once he's dead, he's dead for the rest of your playthrough (seriously, what the fuck?)

Its a shame, the game does have some stuff going for it in terms of optional content....its just the optional content has no substance. You can collect 4 ride armors but they're each used once.

I mean, I agree. It did fail at the execution, it's just...I dunno I guess I see it as something a little more unique, at least they tried. X6 was a complete rehash of a decent game, so I expected it to be good, you know? X5 wasn't the best game ever but it's X1 compared to X6

I fucking hate how they handled armor in X5 and X6
>either you get the full set or get nothing at all
Armor progression was one of my favorite things about the X games.

1>2>3>4>5>6>7
what the fuck, capcom

A sad thing too, because Blade Armor is my favorite from the series.

X6 was clearly rushed out while X7 was actually finished and filled with decisions they decided were good and well thought out
I can at least sort of rationalize most the problems with x6 as "they didnt have time"

I'd at the very least bump 4 over 3.

what did you guys think to ZX and Zero?

2>1>4>3>5>6>7
faggot

What of Megaman Zero?

3>1>2>4

Zero 3 > 1 > 4 > 2
ZXA > MZX

Zero was okay, nothing great, but nothing terrible either
Haven't played ZX

Zero 1 is rough around the edges, but decent.
Zero 2-4 are all good in my book, 2 being my personal favorite.
ZX's map was kind of badly thought out (weapons factory is accessed from an amusement park?) but otherwise the game was good, and ZXA in my opinion was an overall improvement.

ZXA is awesome. I loved how you could outright transform into the bosses.

Zero 4 is my fave just for the Zero Knuckle.

what's the best classic series game and why is it 7?

>need specific body chips to get all armor capsules
>when a reploid hostage dies it's gone forever
>progress blocking mid boss that can't be hurt without a weakness weapon

There is no defending this game.

Objective ranking of X games.

1>3PS1 Version>5>8>4>2>6>>>

RIP Hideofbeast

He never recovered from his minimalist run of MMX6

MM&Bass is my fave, save for how fucking horrid Burner Man is when playing as Mega Man. Also fuck the GBA port.

fuck off

guys quick who's cooler Zero, Protoman or Bass

Never forget.

youtube.com/watch?v=yl6QM4hUft8

Protoman > Bass.exe > Zero > Bass

Protoman
it's the shades

Where's X8?

...

I like how 8 gave X Zero and Axel didn't abilities from each boss

I'm still hoping he comes back just to do an X7 run.

...

ZX is one of my favorite games in the series, if not my overall favorite. Takes a while getting used to the map though.
Zero series is kino.

>kino

...

protoman easily

Why is she so cute?

I haven't played X6 yet, and I want to try to play it as blind as possible, but I can't look away from this goddamn train-wreck.

Is there anything that destroys these red donut things easily? He mentioned something about Metal Shark Player and abusing Giga attacks.

Stop using your masochism as an excuse for liking shit games.

>Girl(Male)

giga attacks do a ton of full screen damage
metal shark player has bouncing arcing anchors
either way its a shit boss
he's easiER with armors and what not but that last part is fucking atrocious
he doesnt even have the nightmare gimmick on the stage

Charged Metal Anchor tears them apart provided their weak points are onscreen.

It's okay to like it as long as you acknowledge its shittyness

Rekkouhas take them down pretty quick

thats fine
but dont go around pretending its better then x4 and 5

Charged metal anchor makes metal storm eagles across the screen.

quit listening to the shitters and or exaggerates on Sup Forums, this game is not fucking ball bustingly hard.

Some people (especially nowadays) can't fathom the thought that they might not ALWAYS have the right fucking item or ability to handle EVERY fucking enemy or task in the the the game.

Just kill a few bosses and THEN kill the fucking donuts. It's not rocket science. The real trouble spots and complaints would be shit like the spike dash portion of gates stage and gate himself.

One of the things I hate the most about X6 is that it had great ideas that could have potentially made it the best game in the X series, but it failed to properly execute all of those ideas, resulting in it being the worst.

>inb4 X7 is worse
I replayed both of these games this year, X7 gets more shit than it should, its barely slower than the other games when it comes to the 2D segments, it doesn't force you to collect upgrades like X6 does, and at the very least, X7 had 1 good level and four decent levels, while X6 on the other hand only has 1 good level and 1 decent level.

You can't even play as X at the start of X7 because they had to showcase their donut steel
Like, fuck out of here
